Booking of this stay was quite prompt and polite via email. The Watecolours' office on the mainland at Kota Besut was actually horrible. Upon arrival we were met by an elderly man smoking inside the office and at this point we not really sure of what the next steps were and how we actually get to the water taxi to... More

If you're dying to see cochroaches in all the different sizes this is the place for you. You can go cochroach spotting in their "Sea view chalet" aka rotten sheds where you might see a glimpse of the water behind the wall of the Souvenir Shop. You'll be sure to hear their cute little feet running over the floor.... Seriously... More

Unfortunately we had pre booked to stay here. The cabin was disappointing. It was in poor condition, the exterior wood work eaten with bore worm, the bathroom tired and the ceiling sagging and with gaps - a cochroach dropped on me one night! There was no electricity during the day, they were conserving their fuel for the generator, but that... More

This resort was better than we expected after reading some other reviews. We found the location to be outstanding, the food was great, and the staff extremely helpful and nice. Unfortunately, our reservation was one of the first after the resort reopened post-monsoon, so many menu items were unavailable. Kind of a bummer. The rooms were basic but comfortable, at... More

A perfectly situated hotel complex but crying for renovation and attention... The rooms, especially the bathrooms, were in a poor condition, and the food in the restaurant very disappointing, including the service. We quickly discovered very good food places within a few minute walk so this was not a big issue after all. The beach itself, however, was beautiful with... More

I write this review while standing at the reception. The service overall is bad. I am NOT writing about the restaurant but about the resort. The service overall is unfriendly and it seems like most of the staff is tired of te long season. The rooms are bad and not really clean. The resort itself is no clean aswell and... More

We just came back from a week in Watercolours resort. I had bought an all inclusive package consisting of diving, accomodation and food (80 MYR per person per day of food credit). The bungallows themselves were clean enough but the feelings we got was that the management did not want to offer anything more than 4 walls and a bed.... More

My 2 cents: - The restaurant/accomodation and the dive center are 2 seperate operations, however, e-mails are answered for both by the native english speakers working in the dive center (english skills of the reception staff are poor). - The accomodation is just terrible, no other adjectives come to mind. I booked a "basic" room with fan for 90RM/night, I... More

I'm actually still on the island and sitting in the restaurant of the Paradise Resort. What a waste of money. I don't really know where to start but the accommodation was well below what I even expected as a backpacker. Our room had outside (but private) bathrooms and this was not the problem at all. We were informed by this... More

I had a fun 5 days at Watercolours Paradise Resort. I mainly went for the diving but the wildlife around the resort was a bonus. (Dusky Leaf Monkeys, Flying Lemurs & Monitor Lizard). It meet my expectations as THIS IS AN ISLAND accommodation with bungalows & huts not a luxury resort. I noticed peoples reviews about low standards of facilities... More
