Pulau Perhentian Besar, Kampung Kuala Besut

that the word can i say. i planed want to go there again next year. Imagine a beautiful tropical island. Its beaches are covered with soft white sands. The island itself is like a fairy-tale garden – an ocean of flowers and exotic trees.

I have booked a 3D/2N package with my husband & 2 other couple friends to Pulau Besar for the Good Friday hols on 14 May 06. However I packed up & left after 1 night stay at the Aseania Resort. This place is probably the worst I have stayed in my entire travelling experience. I don’t expect luxury for the little amount we paid for, but I do expect basic/standard cleanliness of the surrounding, room/bathroom & clean drinking water. There was a swimming pool but it should be called an algae pool and a breeding heaven for the mosquitoes. The pool water was so dark & filthy that I had thought it was a mud bath for the hotel guests. Fine, we could live with the filthy pool as long as we stayed away from it. But not for the drinking water. The drinking water served was dirty and filled with many tiny particles. The water was in whitish colour and looked like they have dissolved calcium tablets in it. You need to close both eyes and courage to drink it. All utensils, plates & cups were dirty and not cleaned probably. Food served was limited and the guests would snap up all food while the slower ones will have to wait for round 2 & 3....Having a meal there is not enjoyable when u have to kill/fend off the mosquitoes while eating. Must-bring items: Insect repellent/medicated oil & bottled mineral water!! Otherwise go elsewhere for your holiday!
