This was a great little camp when I was there in 97, stayed for 7 months and worked in the restaurant at Rock Garden. The chalets were basic, 2 beds and a table and the shower was a well were we all used to wash in the evening throwing buckets of water over each other. The owner was great and... More

From the beach it looks quite fancy and expensive. But is actually quite basic and reasonable prices. The food is ok but better options along the beach. There is a fairly steep climb up the stairs. Rooms have balcony. Showers could be cleaned more often. There are a number of guys doing maintenance work and I believe they may be... More

The modern style bungalows are built on a rising rock hill. This gives many units a great seaview. There is no hot water. Furniture is very basic. As drapes they have used shower draping. Price is only RM70 for a fan unit. You have to climb stairs and the hill to get to the rooms. The place is on the... More

I went to Perhentian Island with my boyfriend on 21th of March to 24th of March 2013. We've stayed in Rock Garden Resort for three nights. We get a standard room with fan and attached bathroom with price RM 70 per night as we couldn’t get a hotel room with air-conditioner (RM120 per night). This is the very first time... More

Here's our very recent story. Yesterday night (21th of march 2013) someone broke into our room while were out dining, and stole our little old digital camera, sunglasses and battery charger...they broke the window, not the glass though but the frame, in fact we couldn't close it anymore. We're pretty sure it was someone from the staff, since we already... More

The location of Rick Gardens is why makes this place. A view over the bay, and away from the bars and beach noise if you need a good nights sleep. The other reviews have it right - unfriendly receptionist (not rude, just uninterested), and some of the worst pillows ever. My room was quite rundown (broken towel rack, difficulties with... More

According to the low standards on long beach, this place is a great option. Maybe the people who gave bad reviews did not visit other places on the beach... Had a 120R bungalow with private bathroom (negotiated to 100R as I stayed more than 5 days) and was very happy with it. Of course it is nothing compared to European... More

After escaping the Tropicanna we moved to D Rock Garden Village and checked in for 2 nights. We ended up staying 5. Firstly, let me repeat my usual mantra of "you get what you pay for". For 120 RM in peak season ($33 AUD) the room is basic: double bed, fan and a cold shower in the bathroom. However what... More
