Alunan Resort All Inclusive (2 Night Min.)

Good place to stay

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.

Fantastic experience. Lovely people and you leave as friends. The whole place gives out a friendly relaxed vibe with well informed educated staff who will bring you around the islands to explore the various snorkelling sites. It’s an all inclusive resort, which means you don’t need to think of money. The activities including a sunset cruise is worth the price they charge. There’s a two hour trip where they bring you to various sites which ends in a lovely picnic. Part of the package also includes a glass bottom tour of the island. We swam with black tip sharks, saw two turtles on two different days and varying fishes. Delicious meals are ala Carte and cooked fresh. None of that buffet nonsense except for a small buffet selection during breakfast. The meals are all included in the price and this includes free flow beers and wine. Surprisingly their Italian menu is super good. The squid ink risotto and the seafood pasta is very good. The pizza and the tuna sandwiches are very good too. I had such a lovely time that I didn’t want to leave.

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.

On arriving we were welcome so friendly by Priscilla. She was so helpful, showing us the room which was ready early. Then, she messaged us through WhatsApp to give us our itinerary for the whole of our stay. The room was very clean and thoughtfully planned with the eco friendly items and treats. The tours were fantastic. We joined the glass bottom boat, sunset cruise, snorkeling and saw an amazing sea turtle, which was a highlight. Above all of this, the staff were so friendly and this makes such a difference. So, helpful and happy! 😀 I would recommend this hotel.

Great all inclusive resort with top notch customer service from everyone. Staff is friendly and good selection of food. Plenty of activities to choose from to keep you occupied. Sunset cruise was really good - Murat, bartender, made one of the best cocktails. Snorkeling guide “Hakim” was fantastic.
