The welcome reception is very good. The resort served us keropok lekor dan juice and so happened we are starved at that time after a long journey from KL. The resort has only 25 rooms (chalets) surrounded with greenery and big trees, secluded and very quiet especially at night. The building is a mixed modern and traditional local architecture with...

I was really lucky not to have read this resort's TripAdvisor page prior to my stay, or I would've changed my mind and missed out on a relaxing and lovely holiday! PROS - beautiful setting. Private beach grounds with soft sand and calm waters. The resort is also surrounded by a jungle. The resort grounds are well maintained and well-lit.... More

Oh dear. How we so much wanted to love and praise this place but alas at every turn the Aryani does its utmost to disappoint. There is little doubt that when it was conceived and constructed this place was obviously a jewel. To keep standards high though you must continue to invest and spend on maintenance. Alas the Aryani has... More

Architectually,this place makes me feel like im in a different realm.i fell in love instantly.The bali-like carvings are beautiful but i was expecting more of terengganu carvings.From my point of view,The Aryani could use a major conservation work because it would be a waste if all those amazing wood works gets damaged by termites and salt water.The only thing that...

Deat azah_alaydrus, Greetings from The Royale Aryani Terengganu! Thank you for your positive observations - we are indeed proud of the heritage-inspired architectural details of our resort. It is the intention to recreate a 'lost world' feel, whereby one steps away from daily life to rest, relaxation and utter comfort in our resort. We apologise for the beach, which we... More

Driving through coastal roads of Terengganu and Kelantan, my daughter persuaded me to stay in Aryani and I did, for 2 nights. Yes, I think Aryani had its glorious days but now it needs a lot of sprucing up especially the garden with long uncut grass. Neglected potted plants were in dire need of water.

It is actually a century-old artifact rescued from a dilapidated Malay house somewhere in Terengganu. To me, a visit to The Aryani was truly a visit to our very own "origin" as its name intended. In short, The Aryani is not just a resort, it is a wholesome cultural experience not to be missed by anyone. The resort also offers... More
