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).

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 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.

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.

Super Personnel
Le Personnel est super sympa, toujours désireux d'apporter des réponses ou solutions, c'est le gros point fort de l'hôtel !!!
Hôtel très joli, a proximité direct de la plage.
Restaurant de l'hôtel moyen... mais dépanne bien.
Cadre et piscine sympa.

Nous ne conseillons pas trop
À première vue l'hôtel est beau mais il s'agit d'un bloc de béton sans grande végétation et sans charme particulier.
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

El mejor hotel de la playa. Vimos comentarios negativos a cerca de la limpieza y para nada, todo impecable. La habitación mejor de lo que esperábamos.
Tienen actividades a muy buen precio en el hotel. Además, se puede comer y cenar en el restaurante del hotel.

Super séjour dans les Perhentians. Hôtel bien placé et au calme. Belle plage à proximité. Piscine et petits déjeuners top. Service de restauration très bon même si parfois pas toujours facile de se faire comprendre. Chambres et literies convenables et propres. Salle de bain ayant besoin d'une rénovation.

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!"
