Kampung Nail hotel guide. Independent hotel in Kampung Nail, Kuala Besut

"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."

"Great location. Near to lots of beautiful beaches and sea. Great snorkelling."

"We had a fantastic time at Alunan and really glad we booked here for half our stay on the Perhentian. Room - Spacious and very clean, having the deck upstairs is also a really nice touch Food - Probably the best food we ate on the Perhentian islands, both western and Malay options availabl. It is slightly more expensive but worth it in our opinion. Breakfast with the room was also great, fresh roti canai were really nice. Staff - super welcoming and friendly, especially Cel, who really made sure we were looked after the entire stay. Facilities - great quiet location, with snorkelling right off the beach, easy access to hiking path and other trips. Only hotel with an infinity pool on the island too, which we used to cool off at the end of each day!"

"The staff was very helpful."

"Expensive room that doesn’t provide more than 2 bottles of water a day despite hot weather and price paid for the room. Our room was on the bend of the building so we felt a little squished as the balcony is smaller than other rooms. Bed was comfortable and wifi very strong and fast. Decent buffet breakfast, but very hectic trying to get tea/coffee/juice as one person doing all those whilst guests waited in small area. Beach lounges good and relaxing - included nightly cocktail and canapé great feature. Close to jetty also good. There are lots of cheaper eating options along the beach a short stroll away. Also, hot tip is to get the speed boats for hire rather than Bubu’s own speed boat and they are much cheaper and a similar boat style. Only limitation is they only leave the island at 8am, 12pm, and 4pm. So, if you need to travel outside these times, might need to pay more for Bubu’s transfer as they have. Little more flexibility on when they leave, but do need minimum numbers. The resort is right on the main beach so there is a good buzz and vibe if that is what you are after. If you want something more relaxing or quiet, perhaps pick your accommodation away from Long Beach."
