Our stay eas quite nice. ##### Elisabete Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Norma Jul 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful pool and landscaping ##### Norma Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jul 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at Arwana. The staff were very friendly and supportive. We also appreciated the restaurant who gave great support so we could avoid certain food ingredients (allergy). It would be nice with some more relaxing chairs in the shade both around the pool but also with a sea view (in front of the breakfast restaurant). ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Silvia Aug 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It is on the best beach on Perenthians. The staff very helpful ##### Silvia Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eliza Oct 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities As a family with children aged 10 and 12, we absolutely loved this resort. The pool was invaluable to be able to have time for ourselves to relax as well as the children. Buffet was great and the manager was amazing. Our children loved watching the baby reef sharks swimming next to the jetty out the front of the resort. Would highly recommend to both couples, individuals or families as they offer something for everyone. ##### Eliza Stayed 9 nights in Sep 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Cecilia May 11, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel owner has very restrictive policies: no room service, no alcohol allowed (not even if you buy your own in a nearby store), no beach towels, no beach chairs, no food in between hours, no money exchange, no payment with card for extra activities/services, no table service at breakfast (you have to lay the table yourself), no hand towels, etc etc etc. It was an awful experience, the only possitive outcome of this stay was the big room and the views (we were on the beach), but even so, the sleep quality was BAD because the power generator makes a lot of noise. Mi best advide is to skip this property. ##### Cecilia Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Moushmi May 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is one of the best property for Besar island in the price range. Pools are great facility if you have non swimmers with you. We had kids and they just loved it. Food was good for Non Vegetarians but being vegetarian, we faced trouble. Cook helped on day 1 with good friend rice on day 1 in complimentary breakfast but that was the only 1 item we got in vegetarian food, apart from juice and tea coffee. On second day we were served something which noone liked and we left only with juice and tea/coffee. Apart from that, we did not like the policy of charging extreme for water bottles. May be the case in that part of the world of using the bottles, I would recommend increasing room rent and giving water refills for free.

When you pay close to 600 euro's for four night i expect alot more. On arrival we were told the restaurant was open till nine pm. We went there at a little past eight pm and were refused by the staff. Not because it was full but the chef was to busy. I counted only five tabels being seated. Wow! The breakfast buffet was also terrible. Flies everywhere on the food. Warm fruit , moldy cupcakes. Unbaked bread rolls. Only thing edible were the omelets. Even the coffee was terrible. The swimmingpool was green and very dirty. Everything looked really uninviting. The staff all looked unhappy and were working from early in the morning untill late at night. I know having no wifi is not the end of the world. But the fact there is only wifi in the lobby is not acceptable for these kind of prices. All and all it was a very dissapointing experience. Later we stayed in an other resort on the small island and that was fantastic an even cheaper. ##### paul Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert Sep 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Afslapning Det første værelse vi havde var i et betonhjørne hvor vores udsigt var direkte ind i en betonvæg, ikke fedt. Vi fik et andet mod et beløb de sidste dage vi havde. Poolen er god med et indslag af lokale dyr, vi nød den om eftermiddagen. Stranden er god, et fint udvalg af fine restauranter, I finder selv den i synes er bedst. Vi gik igennem junglen til den anden, hvor vi så masser af små hajer. Vi prøvede også turen over højderyggen, hvor stranden vender mod den anden ø. Turen var drøj og vi tog en båd tilbage til hotellet. Personalet var venlige og var årsagen til vores gåture på øen. Hvis man spiser på hotellet er priserne lidt højere end langs stranden men ganske fin mad, igen dejligt personale. Vi tog en tur med båd og snorkel, husk sololien osse på ryggen og fik set en del fisk og ikke mindst 3 skildpadder. Dejligt sted at slappe. Wifi når ikke ud til alle værelser men man sidder fint i receptionen og har et godt signal. Vi fik det fedeste tordenvejr den sidste aften med masser af flotte lyn. ##### Robert Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Sébastien Aug 31, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities Hôtel plaisant mais avec plein de fausses notes; un dîner buffet cher pour une qualité des plats très médiocres (viandes et crevettes mal cuites, purée et pâtes en accompagnement 🙄), Un petit déjeuner jusqu’à 10h, mais il n’y a plus de pancakes dès 8h30, les plats ne sont pas tenus au chaud, et les clients qui vident les stocks en remplissant des sacs ne sont pas embêtés par le staff… Enfin, notre enfant a été aspiré par une buse de la piscine et a vécu une expérience traumatisante et marqué physiquement par une énorme ecchymose. Le staff n’a alors rien fait de plus que nous donner une crème et s’excuser. ##### Sébastien Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Simone Aug 30, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Gut hat uns das Frühstück gefallen. Leider nur eine einzige Marmeladezu Auswahl. Die Anlage an sich ist schön. Neue Stühle im Rezeptions- und Restaurantbereich. Dieses Resort wäre ausbaufähig. Die Zimmer riechen leicht modrig, da sollte dringend etwas gemacht werden. Außerdem wird unweit der Anlage Klärwasser? (riecht nach verfaulten Eiern) ins Meer geleitet. Überhaupt dürften alle Anlagen die sich am Strand befinden das Müllproblem angehen. Da steckt Malaysia noch in den Kinderschuhen..... ##### Simone Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Miguel Aug 30, 2025 Liked: Staff & service El personal de recepción excelente, siempre dispuestos a ayudar y resolver cualquier problema. Cogimos una habitación con terraza en primera línea de playa. No estaba mal, aunque se nota un mantenimiento deficiente, especialmente en el cuarto de baño (óxido, goteras). La limpieza, muy justita. La piscina muy sucia con algas. Decidimos no bañarnos por precaución. Pero lo que no es de recibo es que el hotel tenga en la parte trasera un estanque de aguas residuales, aguas completamente sucias y malolientes (según algún local, son las aguas del propio hotel) que vierten a la playa justo delante de la habitación nuestra. El olor es a veces insoportable y desde luego la playa está contaminada por este vertido. No parece muy aconsejable bañarse allí. Podría ser un gran hotel si se resolvieran estos problemas pues el lugar es paradisiaco. ##### Miguel Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Karima Aug 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Super Personnel Le Personnel est super sympa, toujours désireux d'apporter des réponses ou solutions, c'est le gros point fort de l'hôtel !!!

La plage est la moins jolie de l'ensemble des plages des deux îles et l'eau est peu profonde donc si la marée est basse en journée lors de votre séjour, vous ne pourrez pas vous baigner dans la mer , dommage... Pas de vente de boisson avec alcool, encore dommage... Petit déjeuner satisfaisant. Buffet du dîner, cher pour ce qui est proposé, préférez la carte. La bouteille d'eau est vendue 10 ringgits aux clients alors qu'elle est vendue 5 partout ailleurs sur l'île . Pour la propreté, nous avons garder nos tongs pour prendre la douche car même avec de la bonne volonté les matériaux de sol ( galets pour la douche et plastique à trous pour la salle de bain) ne permettent pas un nettoyage hygiénique correct. Nous avons trouvé un élastique à cheuveux dans la douche en arrivant donc le processus de nettoyage est sans doute à revoir .. Literie de bonne qualité, et électricité stable avec bonne climatisation. Pas de chaises pour l'extérieur des chambres, ni en bord de mer ( aucun transat mis à part quelques un à la piscine ) pas de cendriers pour les fumeurs donc des mégots qui traines ... Nous ne conseillons donc pas trop ##### Gilles Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Catalina Aug 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Días de descanso El mejor hotel de la playa.

Die Zimmer sind okay, aber der Service ist eine Katastrophe! Reinigung der Zimmer erfolgt nur oberflächlich und man muss auch mehrfach darum bitten, damit es überhaupt gereinigt wird! Wenn es dann gereinigt wird, wird das Bad nicht sauber gemacht, nur neue Handtücher werden hingelegt, die Betten gemacht und der Boden oberflächlich gekehrt. Bei uns wurde kein Toilettenpapier aufgefüllt und die Mülleimer nicht geleert, obwohl wir ein Baby dabei hatten, was Windeln brauchte. Der Pool ist so verdreckt, dass wir die Kinder nicht reingelassen haben aus Sorge, sie könnten krank werden. Denn eine Pumpe gibt es nicht. Das dreckige Wasser wird morgens improvisiert gereinigt. Zu allem Überfluss hatte ich dann auch noch verschimmelte Backwaren beim Frühstücksbuffet entdeckt. Als ich mich mitsamt der verschimmelten Backware an der Rezeption beschweren wollte, fand das eine Rezeptionistin nur lustig. Generell hatte man das Gefühl, dass dem Personal alles ziemlich egal ist. Auf Nachfrage sagte man uns, es gäbe keinen Manager nur die Angestellten… Diese Angestellten bewohnen die selben Zimmer, wie die man auch gebucht hat auf der selben Etage. Das Hotel ist 20 Jahre alt und sehr abgewohnt. Würde es niemanden empfehlen! Da gibt es am selben Strand weitaus bessere Unterkünfte, die auch noch viel günstiger sind! ##### Sandra Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julien Jul 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Top Super séjour, mais trop court ;-) Petit déjeuner excellent.
