Pulau Perhentian Besar Vacations from $1,237

The property is very close to Jetty and they have a van that will drop and pick up from the jetty to hotel. This is the only good part about the property. The property itself is very old and the rooms are sub standard. We had 2 rooms and one of the room AC did not work properly but luckily the ceiling fan was enough for our stay. We had a connecting door between the two rooms and so the AC in other room helped to some extent. The other issue is that the property is very far from the beach. The beach is near the Taaras resort property which is about 4.5 km away and can only be reached if you rent a scooter. The breakfast, as others have mentioned is very bad. We even tried the ala carte lunch but we were very disappointed with the taste and food quality. For the two days we stayed, we actually ate at another resort hotel which was called De rimba resort and they had excellent food. There was another small bakery close to our property called Pink restaurant or cafe I think which is at the entrance of the Jetty and their carrot cake is highly recommended. The property itself is very clean and quiet and the hotel staff was very nice and welcoming. We also had a massage booked but the massage too was just ok for the price. I have had far better massage treatments. Overall, it was an ok stay, nothing that I would remember or recommend if I ever visit Redang island.

Some of the friendliest staff I’ve ever met! Amazing water activities!

This was a lovely, luxurious place to stay. Truly a 5* hotel. + Very clean everywhere + Staff were extremely friendly and helpful and went above and beyond to help + Excellent amenities, especially the dive centre + Food was nice + Pools were great + Buggy service was useful + Good location for a variety of activities + WiFi coverage was excellent - On site retail could be improved - TV was unreliable (this didn't matter to us much) - No labelling of food allergens: The buffet at Dapur was nice however limited for Gluten Free travellers. They did not have GF pasta and could not make GF crepes. There also seemed to be a big lack of understanding regarding cross contamination/GF. When I asked on the first day what was suitable for me, a chef came out and pointed at a few dishes saying "maybe" and shrugging. I was pretty much left to guess. They did make me GF pancakes/waffles for breakfast however this took a long time to arrive. One chef (Mi?) was really good and actually told me I couldn't have the GF waffles due to cross contamination despite being given them the day before by a different person. I did get sick once after eating something that was "maybe" GF (it wasn't!) Overall, we enjoyed our stay
