Sari Pacifica Resort, Lang Tengah Island

As someone who has been to this hotel more than six times, I think my experience is relatively comprehensive. First, the environment: This island and beach have an unparalleled serene environment. The top-notch white powdery beach and beautiful tropical rainforest are amazing. The underwater corals are very well preserved. Just a dozen meters off the coast in front of the hotel, you can see magnificent corals and a large number of various schools of tropical fish, as well as small sharks and sardine storms. The rooms in the hotel are spaced far apart, and the living environment is very quiet. The swimming pool and bathing facilities in the middle can also allow you to quickly rinse off and enjoy the freshwater pool after snorkeling in the sea. The very fresh oxygen and excellent breathing experience brought by the nearby tropical rainforest are remarkable. Second, the hotel's facilities and equipment. I have to say that a hotel occupying such a superior geographical location really doesn't live up to its name. From the appearance, the hotel is very beautiful, with traditional Malay architecture and unique individual cottages, a magnificent lobby and restaurant. However, its various facilities and equipment are seriously inconsistent with the hotel's positioning. The floor in the room is warped. The tables and chairs are old and lack maintenance. The bed is very clean, but it can be seen that the sheets and pillows are quite old. The bathroom facilities are complete, but the hot water supply is intermittent. No toiletries are provided (but this doesn't have much impact). Overall, the bathroom can meet the needs. The air conditioner is working, but it can also be seen that the air conditioner is very old. The sense of obsolescence in the room is always lingering. Third, food supply. The self-service food supply for three meals a day is very timely. However, there are not too many varieties. And as a Muslim country, the staple foods are mostly curry chicken/beef/lamb/fish. Usually, there are three main dishes (including various meats) and two side dishes, as well as three different staple foods (rice/mashed potatoes/pasta/corn), as well as snacks and pastries (bread, cake, dessert, fried shrimp crackers, etc.), fruits (there are 2-3 kinds for each meal), one kind of salad, and beverages including tea, coffee, milk, and there is a different local special sweet beverage for each meal. In terms of taste, as an Asian, I think the taste is acceptable, but for Europeans and Americans, it may be too monotonous. Fourth, entertainment. If you are just here for snorkeling, it's not a problem. The hotel provides all snorkeling equipment, including masks, snorkels, flippers and life jackets. It also provides two snorkeling trips at sea every day. The charge depends on the package you ordered (the package I ordered includes two snorkeling trips at sea so there is no additional charge). There are 2-3 snorkeling spots, all near the island. You can also pay a little more to participate in snorkeling near different islands and see rare marine creatures such as sea turtles. (But personally, I think it's not necessary unless you must see sea turtles). Devil rays, sharks, barracudas and other rare marine creatures can be seen on the beach in front of the hotel and within a range of about 1 kilometer nearby. It has to be said that the ecological environment is really very good. If you are here for scuba diving, as far as I know, this hotel currently rarely supports this activity. The number of active people in their diving center is too small. During my five-day stay, I didn't see anyone scuba diving here. However, you can go to the Summer Bay Hotel next door for scuba diving. It is only five minutes away from Sari. Fifth, service. The hotel is not staffed with many service personnel (I think it is related to its relatively small number of guests), but overall, the service is enthusiastic. They wear warm smiles and are willing to help you solve problems. Overall, for the hotel's environment, beach, and tranquility, I can give it more than 9 points. But in terms of entertainment, I can only give 6 points (after all, there is still the snorkeling project). If you are here for scuba diving, you will probably be disappointed. In terms of facilities and equipment, I can only give 3-4 points (after all, as a small island far from the mainland, the environment can still let you have a comfortable sleep, but don't expect too much else). The dilapidated equipment and outdated facilities really make people who are used to staying in hotels feel a gap. For service, I can give 8 points (I am not a very demanding customer). Finally, I want to say that if this hotel is willing to invest some funds for renovation and decoration, with its superior geographical location and extremely unforgettable beach and glass-clear sea water, it can completely reach first-class standards. I hope the above opinions can be for your reference. 口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口口

Our holiday was ruined from the terrible behaviour of one of their staff named Sue. The fact that she made many mistakes would have been acceptable had she kept a kind and professional attitude. We stayed courteous when pointing out the contradictory information she was giving us, but she became rude, unwilling to help and purposely tormenting. Unacceptable for someone in the hotel business.

As pointed out in other reviews, the rooms could do with a good makeover. I gave 5 stars for the following reasons: We stayed in a garden bungalow with old-fashioned furnishings, but clean and equipped with everything you need (air conditioning, mini bar, hairdryer, huge bathroom). We spent 4 days in Lang Tengah after spending 4 in Pulau Besar. It is a small island, very quiet, suitable for those who want to immerse themselves in nature and relax. The sea is spectacular, in my opinion the Perhentians cannot compare. Returning to the Resort: take care of the common areas (reception, dining room, gardens). The food is good, both buffet and a la carte. Very friendly staff and always ready to accommodate our every request. The resort is located on the most beautiful beach on the island and a few strokes from the shore you will reach an excellent snorkeling point where you can spot reef sharks, triggerfish and many others. The structure is well inserted into the naturalistic context unlike the Summer Bay, a huge concrete block that kills the landscaping. (I attach photos of the respective entrances to give a better idea). The latter disturbed our stay a little with the constant coming and going of boats and rivers of tourists. If you are looking for tranquility, with a sea comparable to that of the Maldives, I suggest the Sari Pacifica.
