Perhentian Tropicana Inn Reviews

I don't understand some of the negative comments. The location is great, everything is close by. The rooms are clean and free of bugs. Toilet paper and towels are provided. There’s a small shop next to the reception. The road and the small uphill walk are not a problem at all. I recommend this place.

The staff were great! We talked a lot of which were the best diving and snorkeling spots. The rooms were clean and spacious with hot water. The hotel is located in between coral bay and long beach, but it is a bit of walk if you have suitcases. I did it with my backpack and it was no problem. About 3 minutes walk to long beach and around 7 minutes walk to coral bay.

The hotel is situated up a hill and at the end of Long Beach so it’s a hike to the hotel especially the last 600m where it is a treacherous uphill hike. Off you have heavy luggage ie diving equipment and huge luggage you can forget about this place. Service is for the dogs. They don’t answer the phone no matter what time you call and how many times you call. The email in trip.com is garbage because all the emails are not delivered. The reception is friendly but useless. When it was raining this hotel OSS up in the hill and 600 m away from the restaurants … you all them to loan an umbrella and they tell you it’s for the staff sorry … wait till the rain stop. The rain continued into after midnight. The road from the hotel to the beach has no light for 100m in the middle of the hike on an uneven rocky road. No internet in the room only in common area beside reception that closes at 7pm along with reception. The room is not sound proof so everyone that passes by you can hear clearly, people staying nearby you can hear clearly and even the workers taking the garden and leaves at 7am in the morning can be heard clearly. Overall the worse hotel. I have stayed in. Even 2 star hotel provides better service. It’s better you rent a chalet or dormitory at the beach which is better, closer to the beach and provides better service.

Perfect hotel like we wanted it was

for 2 stars hotel this is an average hotel. no breakfast provided yet the price is quite reasonable. location is in the middle of Perhentian. Have to walk from jetty and by walk i mean have to do light hiking.

The place was clean and the staff were friendly. The location is 3 minutes walk to the Long Beach.

Very disappointed.No A/C, no heater too much of mosquitoes(very big size of mosquitoes) be careful with the receptionist he talking too much. Waste of money (my rate 0.5/10 )

Far and not that clean

The hotel has an excellent location, between the two main beaches. It's in the middle of the island, so this also has its drawbacks. Malaysia is a very humid place, and the islands even more so. Since there's no air conditioning, moisture accumulates and causes a bit of mold on the ceiling. There's a fan with multiple speeds. Hot water, Wi-Fi, and electricity. The room isn't dirty, but it's very old. I have to thank the staff; they were very attentive; people were cleaning the paths at all hours. The man at reception gave us our room at 8:00 a.m. when we arrived, as we had spent the night on a bus. I was very grateful for the service.

The hotel had absolutely nothing for guests to use; the Wi-Fi was weak and intermittent, and while some rooms outside had a weak phone signal, the rooms inside had none at all.

The room is spartan but livable. The double beds are comfortable and large, but the room itself is small. The fan is essential, but a bit noisy. The wifi only works at the reception desk, but the location is excellent. The biggest flaw is the bathroom, with a shower not separated from the other fixtures, which causes flooding every time you use it. Still, it's a reasonably priced option (compared to others on the island) for those who prefer a spartan setting.

The staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel is very difficult to access (difficulty 4/5 with luggage). There is no air conditioning in the rooms, especially since the price of the hotel was not cheap compared to other accommodations. There is no room cleaning service, at least our accommodation was not cleaned once out of the 4 nights we stayed. The towels were only changed once... I tried to be as fair as possible on my rating!

Not at all close to the seaside and lots of animals and other things everywhere

Good room. Checked in early. Polite, pleasant staff.
