Nice All-inclusive Resort.
We have no regrets staying at the Alunan Resort. The food was fantastic and al-a-carte. Usually All-inclusive is buffet service. The Staff were extremely friendly and hated to say goodbye. The excursions were amazing, Snorkeling and Sunset Cruising our favorites. Our only caution is you must consider the stairs. There are a lot of them. Would definitely return.

Great stay! Would recommend
We had a fantastic time at Alunan and really glad we booked here for half our stay on the Perhentian.
Room - Spacious and very clean, having the deck upstairs is also a really nice touch
Food - Probably the best food we ate on the Perhentian islands, both western and Malay options availabl. It is slightly more expensive but worth it in our opinion. Breakfast with the room was also great, fresh roti canai were really nice.
Staff - super welcoming and friendly, especially Cel, who really made sure we were looked after the entire stay.
Facilities - great quiet location, with snorkelling right off the beach, easy access to hiking path and other trips. Only hotel with an infinity pool on the island too, which we used to cool off at the end of each day!

Wonderful location and good service. Such a kind and helpful staff.
Minor points:
bed is too short and too soft. Price is too high for what you get.
They are eco minded although the rooms are not insulated at all. In my opinion insulating the rooms would make a major difference. Way more than not using straws or plastic bottles.

Alunan Resort is a fantastic hotel, with wonderful staff, that made us feel very well looked after during our stay in the Perhentian Islands. They ensured our trip from the airport to and from the island was seem less and stress free. We were greeted and checked in at the Alunan office at the Besut Jetty and the 45 minute boat ride to the resort was easy. On arrival, we were promptly shown to our beautiful room, which had views of the ocean from every window. There is also a huge balcony overlooking the ocean, which was a favourite place for our morning coffee. We did 3 excursions during our stay. All 3 were extremely well organised and we were ensured memorable experiences by the guides. The Bayu restaurant provided a very tasty breakfast everyday, and we also ate there for dinner a few times. Everything we ate was excellent. The Sunset Deck was a beautiful place for a drink in the evening. The most impressive thing about Alunan however, is the wonderful staff. We were truly blown away by their kindness and attentiveness throughout our stay. They really made it the best vacation we could wish for. Thank you Alunan.

TYPHOID FEVER ALERT!!!
Public health is aware of this and we are sure that staff knew it as well but they didn’t mention it for a sole business purposes!
On a check in we got reusable bottles for their filtered water but in our room we found plastic bottled water. When asked why? We were told that some customers are sick because they ate in other restaurants outside the resort!!!
First warning sign.
We were all vaccinated against Typhoid fever in Canada but regardless we all got ill and landed in hospital on IV antibiotics and fluids!
We were told in the hospital that they had an outbreak of typhoid due to poor sewage treatment and it can be from water, food or snorkeling around the island where even corals died due to sewage pollution!
This is a NEW resort beautifully designed and VERY EXPENSIVE to allow something like this to happen!!!
Everyone was sick in that resort!!!
Also food selection was poor but tasty! We questioned the food handling, because they would make food and let it sit on 35 C degrees for hours!
We did not have a single bite outside the resort!
At night there is no entertainment, so you feel locked in, because the path to other villages is through the jungle or by boat.
The doors in the rooms are cut too short and not possible to close completely, so we had all sorts of jungle insects and animals roaming around the room!
Snorkeling excursions were nice but it seems we snorkelled in the sewage water!

Aluna Resort bénéficie d'un emplacement exceptionnel ; vous avez tout ce qu’il faut pour passer les meilleures moments pendant vos vacances . Les chambres sont d'une propreté irréprochable, et le personnel, sans exception et sympathique, incroyablement aimable et serviable.
Il faudra faire attention aux fourmis.
La cuisine est vraiment délicieuse,on y sert des plats asiatiques et italiens, et tout est préparé à la perfection.
Si vous y allez, vous rencontrerez Paul, Anisa.. ils sont très sympa, très accueillant. Personnellement, j’ai eu un petit problème et il a fait tout son possible pour m’aider.
Si vous cherchez une plage calme et magnifique et d’excellents spots pour faire de la plongée avec tuba, alors cet endroit est fait pour vous.
Je le recommande vivement.

costoso in relazione a quello che offre
Posizione incantevole, il resort è ben integrato rispettando la natura.
Il costo è troppo alto in relazione ai servizi offerti, la colazione deludente su 4 giorni solo una volta erano disponibili i croissant, l'ultimo giorno del mio soggiorno era finito il vino bianco e le vongole che erano previste nel menù.

Vacanza relax in famiglia
Mare con famiglia: hotel ecosostenibile, staff eccellente. Punti negativi: struttura su diversi livelli con molte scale, piccola spiaggia con un unico bar, la sera eavamo isolati a meno di non prendere un taxi boat. Nel complesso ok se cerchi relax e natura.

Un bel éco resort qui permet de découvrir l’île dans les meilleures conditions. Le personnel est attentif mais mériterai d’être renforcé dans les restaurants où le temps d’attente peut être long. Il manque également un room service pour que tout soit parfait.

Alunan, built amongst hundred years old forests, and a panoramic view towards the crystal clear turquoise south china sea. Alunan is like the best-kept secret on the east coast of Malaysia. Kudos to the coral conservation efforts, with house reef to die for, so close to the coastline, right next to your doorstep. There are thousand and one things to do, from the reef plating, catamaran sailing, table tennis, hiking, swimming, snorkeling, diving, best of Perhentian hopping, shark and turtle sighting, you just cannot get enough of Alunan. Service and food is impeccable, room is large and airy, with amazing view from your bed and the uniqueness is you have your own rooftop deck. Wildlife is crawling, flying, and swimming all over the premises, this is as close to nature as you can get; A place that gives back to nature and is meant for people who love nature.
