Hotels With spa in Terengganu, Malaysia

The Perhentian Islands in Malaysia are a true paradise, easily earning the title of the 'Malaysian Maldives.' I chose the Perhentian Island Resort, and it turned out to be an excellent decision. The hotel is located on the main Perhentian island, right on the edge of a lagoon with crystal-clear turquoise waters. Nearby, there's a picturesque coral reef and a pristine white sand beach adorned with palm trees, reminiscent of exotic 'Bounty' advertisements. Guests are offered secluded bungalows with terraces, most of which boast panoramic sea views. The hotel grounds feature a well-maintained swimming pool and a tennis court. Despite their simplicity, the rooms are equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The buffet breakfasts cater to a wide range of tastes and national preferences, offering fresh and delicious dishes. The hotel is also home to a variety of wildlife: you can spot squirrels, monitor lizards, newts, frogs, and bats. But the real treat was observing a family of spectacled langurs, who seemed to be enjoying their vacation in this natural haven too! The very next day after arriving, I went on a snorkeling tour, which allowed me to see the island from different angles, including other hotels and beaches inaccessible from the shore. Subsequent walks around the island, exploring its jungle, checking out other accommodations, and even visiting a neighboring islet, firmly convinced me that choosing Perhentian Island Resort was the right decision. The beach, the prevailing peace and quiet, and the comfortable atmosphere—it's pure bliss! I will definitely be back!

The stay was great and hassle free especially if you arrive at Pasir Panjang jetty (Long Beach) then it’s just a few minutes walk to the reception. Room was great but not exactly a wow affair. Daily replenishment of canned drinks and some snacks by the housekeeping service. A few complaints: The wifi in the room was horrible because they had multiple SSID and some of them did not work. Even going from the bedroom to the balcony require finding a different SSID. I suggest that the hotel hire a proper network tech who can advise on getting a unified Wifi SSID. It’s 2026. The technology is already there. Also the A/C compressor is placed at the same vicinity where you would sit so the blowing hot air was like a sauna. Suggestion for improvement: Put in water dispenser so that you don’t need to provide too many plastic bottles per day. I’ve seen some hotels and resorts doing this so it’s not beyond the realm of possibility. Just imagine how many plastic bottles being disposed everyday for such a small island. Overall, great little hotel/resort with nice view and excellent, modern architecture. There were just some niggling issues and practices that could easily be fixed, in my opinion.

I would like to sincerely thank you for the wonderful hospitality, friendliness, and helpful service throughout my wife’s and my stay at Tanjong Jara Resort. From the smooth check-in until check-out, every moment made our stay truly enjoyable, memorable, and relaxing. We had a very happy experience at the resort and would highly recommend Tanjong Jara Resort to our family and friends. It is definitely one of the best resort choices in Terengganu. Special thanks and appreciation to Ai Li, Umah, Haziq, Ruzly, Angel, Amira, Athir, Yusri, Yanna, Khairi, and Aidil for their excellent service, warm hospitality, and dedication in making our stay so pleasant. Thank you once again, and we hope to visit again in the future 😊

Stayed for 3 nights. Overall, this place has so much potential. The kampung ambience is so peaceful and inviting. The old Istana (palace) transformed into rooms gave the kampung lifestyle feels. Just walking distance to the beach and the scenery of the whole resort is tranquil. Nevertheless, suggest to clean and restore the pond around the resort. Re-do the whole landscaping around the resort and plant all the local flowers, fruit trees and herbal plants. And to install more solar lights. With this new facelift of the whole sorroundings, will surely invite repeating guests. Shoutout to the friendly staffs too. (P/S: suggests to invest on bed bug spray for each room too)

Its a last minute booking and we didn't select for any package. The service is good where they wait for us during arrival and help us to carry our bags, serve light refreshments during check in and the staffs also friendly. The service that need to improve is no staff is available during not peak hours, the call is not answered and the request to change the rusted kettle is being ignored. The amenities are old and not well managed. The floor is dusted, the mirror frame in the toilet is broken, the balcony wood also broken and it can be dangerous if small kid left alone. The food is good and the price is reasonable. We pay for the dinner buffet and its quite satisfactory.

Our time at Summerbay Resort was really pleasant. Very friendly staff and very good service. The deluxe pool view room was clean and had good amenities and a nice view of the pool. At no point did it feel like this trip was not worth it. The beach in front of the hotel is wel maintained with plenty of baby black tip reef sharks to see while snorkeling. The included breakfast was good, with good food and plenty of seating. For dinner though I would advise to go to Seaview cafe. The dinners and the quality of the food are amazing. Special shoutout to chef Chris for cooking delicious dinners 10/10! We're writing this review as European guest. Communicating in English was not a hassle at all.

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.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this resort and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our vacation. The hospitality was exceptional from the time we arrived until our departure. The staff were incredibly warm, friendly, and always willing to help with a smile. The resort itself is beautifully located, with stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and a relaxing atmosphere that made it the perfect getaway. The pool facilities were excellent, and there were plenty of activities available to keep both adults and children entertained throughout our stay. The food was fantastic, offering a great variety of delicious options, and the overall ambiance of the resort was both welcoming and relaxing. Every detail seemed thoughtfully planned to ensure guests had a memorable experience. A special thank you to Bryan, who went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. He was always available to provide information, answer questions, and ensure that all our needs were taken care of. His attentiveness, professionalism, and genuine care for guests truly stood out and made a significant difference to our overall experience. We highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a memorable beach holiday with outstanding service, great facilities, and a fantastic atmosphere. We look forward to returning in the future.

I checked it online for a long time before I came, and there were many bad reviews for hotels on Relang Island. I picked this Bay and booked it. The first day of the experience was really good! The front desk and restaurant have service staff to explain the precautions carefully in Chinese. Although the facilities are simple, the 4-piece set with your own, the mattress and pillows are very comfortable. 4 meals a day, 2 snorkelings a day, someone leads the team, beer barbecue on the beach at night, the sea breeze, just a full empty vacation mode without a head!

I honestly wouldn't recommend this place if you're purely looking for a relaxing vacation. First off, the hotel's design is poorly laid out with winding paths and lots of uphill climbs. You'll rely entirely on buggies to get around. To reach the beach, you have to descend over 200 steps. The restaurant has limited seating and the food selection isn't extensive. Breakfast only runs until 10:30 AM, and housekeeping only cleans once a day. The staff's efficiency isn't great; they often forget things you've told them. On our last day, they came to pick up our luggage at 10:30 AM for a 12 PM ferry. Of course, there are some positives. The hotel's diving center is very professional and has a great attitude. Even though I only signed up for snorkeling, our guide, a lovely lady with a sweet voice, accompanied our group of four the entire time, showing us many corals and fish.
