The room is large, with a courtyard, and a little bit of a Maldivian feel, but no hair dryer was found. The food is good, the taste is OK, the ingredients are fresh, and it is slightly more expensive than other nearby restaurants. The service is still quite enthusiastic, especially the on-demand food service staff for breakfast, who are very enthusiastic and proactively ask if there are any dishes that need to be ordered. Proactive service is precious and feels very good. However, the front desk service is perfunctory, seemingly enthusiastic but not solving the problem. After waiting for a long time, no one took the initiative to tell us that we can check in. We went to the front desk to ask, and a few chatty waitresses smiled and said that it was ok now. When we left, we missed the boat because the front desk arranged to wait for the water taxi. Obviously, we were very anxious and asked many times, but the front desk told us that there was no problem. The boat is often late. I asked them to call the shipping company to inform us that we have not boarded the boat yet, and I guess there was no communication. I was speechless. The service to customers should not be just superficial enthusiasm. I hope to really solve problems for guests instead of creating problems.

Daniel925We had an overall great stay at the Perhentian Marriott Resort. The property itself is beautiful, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the island is absolutely stunning. The snorkeling experience was incredible and one of the highlights of our trip. Breakfast was also excellent every morning, with a great variety and quality of food.
I also want to give special thanks to the manager for arranging birthday decorations in our room. It was such a thoughtful surprise and made the celebration feel extra special. We truly appreciated the effort and hospitality.
Unfortunately, the dining experience was consistently disappointing on both nights of our stay, especially for a 5-star Marriott resort.
We made birthday dinner reservations in advance, only to be told when we arrived that our reservation was no longer available. After finally being seated, it took over an hour for our food to arrive. We were also told that cocktails were not being served. When I asked the manager why, he didnโt know the reason either. After he spoke with the restaurant staff, they suddenly began serving cocktails, which made the situation even more confusing.
To make matters worse, our waitress forgot part of our order, and overall the dining staff seemed disengaged and unwilling to help. The level of service simply did not reflect what I would expect from a Marriott property.
Itโs unfortunate because the resort itself is outstanding. The beautiful location, excellent breakfast, amazing snorkeling, and thoughtful birthday room decorations made our stay memorable. However, the food and beverage service needs significant improvement to match the quality of the rest of the resort. I hope management addresses these issues, because this property has the potential to deliver a truly exceptional 5-star experience.

Although the food selection was limited, the taste was good. The hotel's location was relatively secluded, making it suitable for travelers who prefer quiet. When we first entered the room, we were struck by the strong smell of paint. The staff said it was from freshly painted rooms, but the smell made us feel dizzy and nauseous. We asked to change rooms, but the other rooms also had a strong smell. The pillows looked clean, but they were full of mold. There were many ants in the room, everywhere. I slept in one night and got several bites.

Guest UserWe had an amazing 5-day family stay at Mimpi Hotel on Perhentian Kecil, and we are honestly more than satisfied. Everything was perfect from start to finish.
The place is absolutely beautiful, with a stunning view, and everything is exactly as shown in the pictures, no surprises, just even better in real life. The hotel offers many activities, which made our family holiday even more enjoyable. The access is also easy and well organized.
The breakfast is varied and very good, with something for everyone. And considering the quality of the service, the prices are more than affordable.
But what truly makes this place special is the staff. They are incredibly kind, friendly, always smiling, and genuinely caring. Always available, very reactive, helpful, and attentive. They go above and beyond to make sure you feel comfortable. Their kindness and positive attitude made a huge difference in our stay.
We also deeply appreciates the respectful and peaceful atmosphere.
We leave with beautiful memories and highly recommend this hotel. We hope to come back again!

Solo miPerhentian Kecil (Small Perhentian Island)
Perhentian Island, located on the east coast of Malaysia in Terengganu state, immediately brings to mind images of beaches, the sea, sunshine, and diving.
Bubu Resort is conveniently situated next to the jetty at Long Beach on Perhentian Kecil, offering views of Perhentian Besar (Big Perhentian Island) and stunning sunrises. The area under the jetty is also a great spot for snorkeling.
During holidays, many locals bring their children here to play in the water. It's a paradise for Western tourists and a haven for diving enthusiasts.
Getting there:
You can take an overnight bus from TBS (Terminal Bersepadu Selatan) to Kuala Besut bus station. From there, it's just a 10-minute walk to the jetty. You can book your boat tickets online or purchase them at the counter.
Additionally, there's a jetty entrance fee of RM2 and a marine park conservation fee (RM30 for foreigners vs. RM5 for locals).
Layover:
The last boat departs the island at 4:00 PM. If you need a place to rest while waiting for an evening bus or flight, you can book a room near the Kuala Besut jetty or bus station. As it's a small town, it's advisable to book your layover accommodation in advance, especially during peak season. Sani Bus offers rooms for rent for 3 hours, as shown in the picture below.

Guest UserWe were very delighted at the ease of bookings for our stay, speedboat transfers, scuba diving and snorkelling trips. The moment we arrived at Besut Jetty, they had their team to facilitate parking of our car and efficiently got us on the speedboat as it was raining earlier and might rain again in the afternoon.
By the time we arrived and checked in, our rooms were ready, cleaned and smelled fresh too contrary with all the reviews Iโve read recently especially when it comes to peak season. All the amenities were there and functional. Even my city kids were impressed as theyโve stayed at other island resorts before.
The ambience at night was very lively at the restaurant, friendly flying lemurs and squirrels, tasty variety dishes from the restaurant, fire show, swings by the beach.
The recreational centre such as the kayak, snorkelling and scuba diving can be better for the premium rate that they are charging. Warning: check every calculation carefully as they have this NO REFUND policy.
I would suggest for rental of games to make family holidays more fun on days when it is raining.

Federig_98We spent four days on these heavenly islands, staying at Villamas, a lovely property with a breathtaking sea view. The private beach with sun loungers and deck chairs was truly relaxing. The staff is friendly and helpful. I recommend this property for those looking to relax. You can also take a taxi boat and explore the other sides of the island. Coral Bay is great for sunsets, while Long Beach is great for beach restaurants and music. There wasn't much choice in terms of food, but it was all delicious.

Guest UserA charming hotel that has clearly seen better days. They probably didn't spare any expense on marketing โ good promotional videos, a beautiful logo (luxurious by local standards), and consistent brand colors throughout. But something's off with the management... The receptionists are completely indifferent; you can't get an extra word out of them, and they don't explain anything properly. The icing on the cake โ breakfast!!! There's absolutely nothing to eat!!! Muesli, noodles that inexplicably weren't there and no one was in a hurry to bring them, white rice, and beans in a brown sauce. Two croissants that were gone before I even saw them. No omelets, no sausages, no meat of any kind. Believe me, I'm not being picky... And of course, the beach. If you walk a little away from the hotel (too many boats), you'll find some decent sand, but at low tide, it's too shallow, and the seabed is quite unpleasant.

Nice place to pit stop on your way to Perhentian Islands. Easy access to good food at the mamak restaurant 2 doors away. And nice Chinese food adjacent to the hotel. All are reasonably priced.
Hotel is clean by most standards. Basic amenities provided like hangers, free wifi, towels, blankets. We took a big family room for 4 pax and slept comfortably.
