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...

Don't pay to much money for this resort. We want to stay here for the last days on our holiday. Stay in luxury.. The whole resort needs maintenance. Rotten wooden frames. Outside bath leaked, etc. etc. It's just faded glorie... What a disappointment.. Bad value for money!! Only positive was the men who helped us with our luggage. Good location... 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. Gardener didn't do his job?... More

We (a group of 9 adults and 10 children) just recently concluded our vacation with a 3D/2N stay at Aryani following a trip to Lang Tengah. We thought of breaking our journey back to PG by resting for another 2 nights at Terengganu. This was my 2nd trip to Aryani. There are a couple of things I like about Aryani.... More

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

The Aryani was the final destination resort of a group of 30+ bikers (some with pillions) who were touring the East Coast of Peninsula Malaysia. We stayed 3 days 2 nights. In fact we took over all the rooms and villas except for one. I was impressed with the setting; rustic Malay Kampung architecture with modern amenities. The toilets were... More

Excellent service on arrival and prompt check-in. Lemon grass drink was cool and refreshing. Keropok Lekor - a speciality of the area was hot and crispy served with a spicy dip. The deco of the room was tastefully done in Malay Kampung style. The toilet was clean with fresh white large towels. In front of the villa you have the... More

Although we called ahead to announce our arrival ( a group of 7) we had to wait in the rain until 1 (one) person came to take care of us.The monsoon rains did not faze us but the condition of the resort shocked us. Used and threadbare would be the description. Hard to believe that they won the best resort... More
