Alunan Resort All Inclusive (2 Night Min.)

Very nice location with a lot of excursions possibilities. Food selection could be better, e.g. sunset restaurant offers only Italian food.

Good place to stay

Our flight out of KL to Kuala Terrengannu was delayed. We were going to miss our boat ride to the Perhentians. We were quite upset. But the way the Alunan resort and the staff handled the whole thing was a case study in travel and hospitality. We showed up at the Kuala Besutt office and were warmly welcomed. Soon we were led to the Jetty and our things were loaded up on to a more ‘public’ but immensely comfortable transfer. Once we reached Alunan it was just magic. This was an all inclusive trip and so we made the most of it with their snorkeling trips, sea turtle viewing and the sunset cruise. Being coral and environment friendly is a theme that pervades everything at Alunan. We had a chance to visit the coral Lab and see the fantastic conservation work that they are doing. The marine biologists patiently explained the work they are doing to grow corals in the lab. The snorkeling trip was great. We felt safe and cared for. Alunan ensured that we escaped the sometime crowded areas. The room was very comfortable. They give you an aluminum bottle that one can fill at the water cooler and use it for the whole stay. There were welcome snacks and a bag to carry our wet clothes around as complimentary. The wifi was good and the bathroom had toiletries that were reef safe. I learnt about reef safe sunscreens too. The swimming pool was good for lounging. The views from some of the rooms was spectacular. Our room had a terrace sit out with partial sea view which was up a flight of stairs. Even the lights in the pathways in the resort came on with a motion sensor. The straws were made of metal. The food was wonderfully prepared. The chef ensured that as a vegetarian I had adequate food choices. He came out and spoke to us. The climb up and down is a bit steep but you soon get used to it. Watch out for mosquitoes as you are in the middle of a tropical island. This is one of the best holidays we have ever had. The staff of Alunan are fantastic and caring.

Excellent eco-conscious all inclusive resort. Good food. Really helpful staff. The inclusive excursions were out of this world, swimming with Sharks and saw Endangered Turtles and snorkeling on reefs. Friendly staff. Felt so relaxed after this break.

This has to be the most expensive trip we had in Malaysia but it worth every cent. The sea around the resort is clean and full of corals and marine life. We particularly miss the baby sharks that wandering around the jetty :) And, the staffs are super friendly~

Great food, fantastic and very friendly staffs who looked after our family of 4 very well. The all inclusive accommodation package had unlimited food & beverage. The snorkeling excursions were also included and is NOT to be missed. There were also reef sharks, sea turtles and plenty of coral & marine fishes to be seen. There is also a sunset cruise, a glass bottom boat ride that is not to be missed and is also included as part of the all inclusive package.Highly recommend this boutique resort if you prefer to avoid those busy big resorts.
