Arwana is a very overpriced and really outdated resort. 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.

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.

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.

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. That would stop ruining the amazing beaches of Perhentian Islands with plastic litters.

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.

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.....

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.

Leider war die Unterkunft gar nicht gut! 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!

A sziget egyik legszebb partszakasta

Imádtuk, hogy a szálloda közvetlenül a parton van – az alsó lépcsőket szó szerint elérik a hullámok. A szoba tiszta, naponta gondosan takarítják és szépen beágyaznak. A reggeli bőséges és finom, a tojást sütő lány mindig kedves és mosolygós volt. Egy kellemes, kb. 10 perces sétával elérhető a Flora Bay másik vége, ahonnan úszva megközelíthető a Shark Point. A szálloda mögötti 'Jungle Trekking' táblától pedig egy kb. 25 perces ösvény vezet át a PIR-re, ahol teknősökkel úszhatsz – szúnyogriasztó erősen ajánlott!"
