Alunan Resort

Wonderful location and good service. Such a kind and helpful staff. Minor points: bed is too short and too soft. Price is too high for what you get. They are eco minded although the rooms are not insulated at all. In my opinion insulating the rooms would make a major difference. Way more than not using straws or plastic bottles.

Some of the friendliest staff I’ve ever met! Amazing water activities!

We have no regrets staying at the Alunan Resort. The food was fantastic and al-a-carte. Usually All-inclusive is buffet service. The Staff were extremely friendly and hated to say goodbye. The excursions were amazing, Snorkeling and Sunset Cruising our favorites. Our only caution is you must consider the stairs. There are a lot of them. Would definitely return.

TYPHOID FEVER ALERT!!! Public health is aware of this and we are sure that staff knew it as well but they didn’t mention it for a sole business purposes! On a check in we got reusable bottles for their filtered water but in our room we found plastic bottled water. When asked why? We were told that some customers are sick because they ate in other restaurants outside the resort!!! First warning sign. We were all vaccinated against Typhoid fever in Canada but regardless we all got ill and landed in hospital on IV antibiotics and fluids! We were told in the hospital that they had an outbreak of typhoid due to poor sewage treatment and it can be from water, food or snorkeling around the island where even corals died due to sewage pollution! This is a NEW resort beautifully designed and VERY EXPENSIVE to allow something like this to happen!!! Everyone was sick in that resort!!! Also food selection was poor but tasty! We questioned the food handling, because they would make food and let it sit on 35 C degrees for hours! We did not have a single bite outside the resort! At night there is no entertainment, so you feel locked in, because the path to other villages is through the jungle or by boat. The doors in the rooms are cut too short and not possible to close completely, so we had all sorts of jungle insects and animals roaming around the room! Snorkeling excursions were nice but it seems we snorkelled in the sewage water!

Excellent location right on beach and coral reef. Great snorkelling and wonderful staff. Delicious breakfast. Very nice trips.
