I was worried it didn’t have a dive centre but Sea Voice Divers were superb so that didn’t matter in the end. If you are diving the all inclusive deal makes less financial sense because it includes snorkeling which my children didn’t use. I think Alunan could possibly benefit from visible hotel managers- which we have experienced in Indonesia. This isn’t a top luxury hotel - e.g. you have to arrange your airport transfers (although the hotel staff are helpful with this). Also, table mats would be nice! The buffet was small but I think that was to avoid food waste which I totally appreciated.

I loved the location of the hotel- it’s in a beautiful bay with a home reef. The swimming pool was excellent as well. You can walk easily to fisherman’s village (15 mins) to see the floating mosque and I walked to Long Beach which was further (over an hour) but also stunning en route- past quiet bays. My teenage boys dived at Sea Voice divers who picked them up from the hotel jetty each day. They absolutely loved the dive centre and its friendly and knowledgeable staff. Be sure to contact them in advance to book diving if travelling in July/August. We all had a fabulous holiday.

We stayed in the family suite, it was very spacious with a clean and modern look. Had an amazing view and the amenities were great. The staff were super friendly and helpful, Special thanks to: Front reception: Diana, Priscilla, Cel, Asyiqin, Fatin Breakfast staff: Aidil and Hasni General staff: Adnan We also booked scuba diving with the coral reef project, Haqim the instructor is extremely caring in the water and made the experience very safe and enjoyable. Alunan has a great ethos around caring for the beautiful natural beauty and takes care not to damage the coral reef. Loved our stay here

We couldn't watch TV as it appears to have WiFi issue, could not be connected. But since we had our phones plus doing outdoor activities,hence wasn't much of a problem.

The availability of water dispenser. Availability of renting SUP and kayak.Really convenient as we get to do the activity in front of the hotel. The hilly walk towards the room as u get a bit of exercise. Within 10mins walking/short hike to fisherman's village - convenient Nice SPA - had a good spa session there.

The prices are very high compared to similar resorts in south east asia, I would say minimum 25% to 30% higher. You need to deal with many stairs to go up and down with the sun. It can also be a bit rustic as water and electricity shut down, however that's usually part of the experience on an islands. The taxi boats of the island are a bit expensive, especially traveling alone, about 5 MYR per minute after 7pm but this is not specific to the resort.

The spa massage was amazing and the crew very nice and helpful. The coral project team was interesting to learn more about sea life, we had very nice talk. It's a very good place to relax, meditate and rest. Also depending on the bungalow you get you can have a very good view and a pleasant terrace to enjoy the sun with the sound of the sea but it's not the case in all of them as the privacy can be different.

Breakfast was not good, limited selection and coffee tasted very bad. Overpriced

Our trip to Alunan Resort will be unforgettable. The staff is so friendly and helpful and that's why we felt so comfortable there. The snorkeling trips are very well organized and we saw creatures underwater that impressed us so much. We just loved it!

The food was a little overpriced

The resort is in a great location, only a 10min walk to the fisherman’s village. The staff were super helpful with anything we needed - my partner even had stitches that the staff offered to clean every morning and night! Our room was great too, even having a welcome gift basket and our own rooftop patio. Having stayed at another place on the island too, the value for money here was great in terms of what you pay for the rooms and activities.

The breakfast could have been much better. There was a lack of common sense with some things i.e no coffee available because machine wasn’t working bc of storm, but they could have offered instant! And then the receptionist and excision staff communication was lacking- you’d hear one throng that would then be corrected by another. An fyi, there is availability to get cash out at Fisherman’s village and in between coral bay and long beach. There is no ATM - you need to do a transaction and they’ll give you the cash.

Amazing staff, great excursions, great air conditioning and Babu was a lovely and affordable restaurant

Menu is quite pricey 😅 I loved the slopes Alunan is on. Some may find it a challenge to move about especially if their rooms are far on top😅

Breakfast buffet was adequately sufficient & tasty. Bayu restaurant has the best view🤩 Located on a private beach. Away from crowded waters (Long Beach is full of parked boats with their sharp anchors protruding on the beach! Hazardous! Plus we’d have to swim in between the boats!) Alunan’s private beach is nice & quiet for our enjoyment. Alunan is THE BEST of Perhentian’s resorts. Modern & CLEAN rooms & facilities. CLEAN food preparation areas & CLEAN & comfortable dining areas. Walkways & common facilities are maintained clean all the time! Kudos!

A truly amazing place with high focus on eco-marine life and sustainability initiatives such as avoiding use of plastic bottles etc. Beautiful views from rooms and the terrace and nice comfortable beds. We did the 3 point snorkelling tour, the Best of Perhentian and the full day tour and all 3 activities where really good and well organized and we say so many types of fish, turtles, baby sharks and beautiful nature. And the staff is very service-minded and helpful both in the reception, the restaurants and the activity center and you feel very welcome.

Best hotel of the island. Really good service but expensive...

Stayed in July 2023

The food is ok but not exceptional. However the italian restaurant overlooking the water was pretty good, if expensivee.

The resort has a lovely private beach and is surrounded by forest. Its not a fancy resort but the rooms are spacious and simple with good aircon and wood floors. The staff are lovely and the snorkelling trip was great.

Nothing.

Excellent service. The room we had initially had a broken ac, after reporting it to the staffs they immediately repaired the ac and helped to accommodate by giving us a new room which is beside the old room. They helped to relocate our stuffs and sincerely apologise for the inconvenience. They were very efficient in their tasks and definitely can be seen enjoying it. Good work👍🏼
