"as in advertised we are the last 3 customer had booked the chalet but we get challet nearby rubbish area..have bad smell and very dark on night.
Also,not satisfied with cafe. can' t provide halal certificate from JAKIM"
"Truly admire the work and dedication put in to preserve the traditional heritage houses. I had a lovely stay at beautiful Setiu and wish to thank the team for their warm hospitality."
"Dirty hotel, the matress was very old and the room was very dirty. Seems that wasn't cleaned before the arrival. It's sad because it has the best spot on the beach. If the hotel changes and take care of the costumers it will be top but sadly, not now"
"We had an enjoyable stay at the Arwana. Staff at the front desk were helpful and accommodating. The pool and restaurant area are well presented with lots of greenery and shaded areas. The local food was really tasty. "
"I really liked Arwana and would stay here again. It’s literally right on the beach. The water is crystal clear and baby reef sharks swim around happily. Perhentian doesn’t have any roads so the hotel can arrange water taxis. We did the Redang island trip and the snorkelling trip, both arranged by Arwana and they were both excellent.
Don’t go expecting a 5 star experience, but this hotel has a rustic charm, the room was nice and clean and the pool is a good size. It’s peaceful and exudes chilled...

The jewel of the Redang Marine Park, this island is surrounded by diving heaven: waters filled with green and hawksbill turtles, groupers, moray eels and more.
"Avoid this place. We stayed here in July 2025 for 4 days and it was a disaster.
Before arrival, no response from the property despite multiple attempts. They also provided wrong info about boat schedules from Kuala Besut (boats actually leave every 40 min).
Day 1:
The place looked abandoned,unfinished buildings, scaffolding, and garbage everywhere. No reception,just a guy at the bar watching loud videos on his phone. He didn’t speak English, so we used the translator. He refused early check-in, probably to sell us a drink during the wait.
The sea view room was dirty: stained sheets, hair and dirt in the bathroom, sewer smell, a broken mirror, and no hot water. Complaining didn’t help.
Day 2:
The day after, we asked if the problem had been fixed. He told us he hadn’t been able to fix it and that a part needed to be ordered, which would arrive the following day.
We asked for a different room, but that wasn’t possible. Other guests also stood waiting at “reception” for hours with no help.
Day 3:
A manager finally showed up and spoke English, but instead of fixing anything, he offered us snacks and a cocktail. He then said it was a public holiday and repairs would be done the next day. We were promised a room change if the issue persisted. Too late, we had only one day left and were showering using the bidet shower.
Day 4:
Shower was finally fixed.
In short:
Structure is falling apart, staff is incompetent, and hygiene is unacceptable. Save your holiday, book elsewhere."
"Unbelievable beach and the water was incredible! You can snorkel right from the beautiful white sand beach. Buy (or bring) a good mask and you are all set. Head to Long Beach for some better food if you wish. Book the beachfront rooms if you can...it is worth the few.extra bucks. Pool is nice. You will not be disappointed as long as you don't mind a taxi ride from one of the close cities and a 35-45 minute boat shuttle! Worth the travel there 100%! Enjoy!"
"We had a good stay here, the rooms are outdated and in need of a little TLC but that would probably reflect in the price. The resort is value for money as it is. Staff are fantastic and friendly. The pool is lovely and we really enjoyed the boat trips. "
