Let’s start with the good. This place is conveniently located equidistant to the two main beaches. Around a five minute walk to each. The staff were kind and warm in their behaviour. Now the not so good. This is not a 2.5 star hotel. It’s not even a hotel. It’s back country lodging. For starters, they do not provide toilet paper. You can extrapolate from there. I am not assigning blame to the ownership of the hotel for the 2.5 star rating. I am assigning blame to whomever is responsible for the unstandardized rating system, as well as customers who play into this misinformation, with or without good intentions. The other piece is the walking path. It is extremely perilous at night. Someone is going to get badly hurt, if they haven’t already. At one point, the path turns from relatively flat terrain to stairs. You can’t see the drop off in the dark. A flashlight can solve this problem, but I would not walk it alone if I was a female. Otherwise, I am open to the possibility that this is good value from a supply/demand perspective. I just think it’s only fair that people know what they’re getting into, before they commit. Blessed Travels Friends.

Great location near long beach. Wifi access very useful. Reception staff member was fantastic at helping us determine ferry times/confirming pickup jetty at the end of our stay. Would go back if I stay on Perhentian Kecil in the future.

We had an unforgettable stay at Tropicana Inn. The Long Beach where this place is located is fantastic. In our opinion, the is the best beach in this part of the world. This resort has a very relaxed and laid back atmosphere which is exactly what one needs in such a location. The room was clean and comfortable with a clean ensuite bathroom. If you are looking for a decent place at a reasonable price, Tropicana Inn is without doubt the resort to choose.

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
I had a private room which I booked at very short notice online and it was very expensive compared to other accommodation on the island, and even for the same accommodation if booked in person. The room was clean and spacious, two clean towels provided. Bathroom was clean. The water wasn't hot but that wasn't too much of an issue given how hot the island is. The room was a good temperature (fan worked well). There was one window with not much of a view. Overall I think this is good accommodation for an island. It is a short walk down to long beach but there are no lights on the path for half the way and so as a sole female traveller it's a bit scary when returning in the evenings.

I came to stay here twice in two weeks because the price is one of the best and also the hotel I wanted to book is fully booked. Came here second time with a kid at 4 years old, he slept fine for 3D2N. This Inn has all the basic things you need to stay for the night - decent bed, toilet, towel, blanket, pillow which is quite okay. I saw many bad comments but actually it is not that bad at all. I stayed in the bad condition chalet before too on this island, but wont give bad comment because it is expected. I would recommend people who bring baby or kid to bring your own kettle. There is no hair dryer too, so bring your own if you must dry your hair with a dryer. Oh, we saw a huge spider in the room too as expected as the inn is in the middle of the island. Remember to choose the closest jetty which is Coral Bay Jetty NOT Long Beach jetty. I would recommend this place for people who are on budget and big group :-)

My new home in the Perhentians
I have been staying at Tropicana Inn for at least 6 years in a row now during peak season. It has consistently deemed an excellent value because of the room quality and service. I always get a good night's sleep on their comfortable beds. Wi-Fi is quite good but only at the common area. The guys at the front desk are the same people I see every year and have always been accommodating. You can't beat the location. This place is located near long beach and only a few minutes walk to coral bay. You can be at all the restaurants, and the night spots within a couple of minutes. The place has been extensively renovated and looks like a brand new resort now. I would definitely recommend this place for those who want to go to the Perhentians.

Arriving with no accommodation this place was the only hotel to have a room for all the nights of our stay on the two islands. Not as nice as other hotels due to being set back from the beach so no lovely view. We didn't choose to stay when other accommodation became available. However nice and quiet for long beach!

Wouldn't Recommend this Spot even to Worst Enemy
Nightmare experience started as soon as we got to room: it smelled heavily (musty) and there were disgusting stains in supposedly cleaned bed covers (see attached pictures). We complained and receptionist, as well as hotel manager (tall, skinny guy with mustache), refused to change the bed sheets and covers, and much less to move us to another room, arguing in terrible manners that there was something wrong with our sense of smell (only reason we stayed is because it was a long holiday weekend and everything else was booked). We insisted the next day and managed to get a new room for the following two nights (we had prepaid three nights through Expedia). Nightmare continued regardless: as we came back to room from dinner, we found rat feces on bed and bed-site table, and actually heard the rat in our bathroom (there was no one in Reception to whom to complain that night). The following morning, we finally could complain and receptionist literally responded that it had been our fault because we had failed to place a water bottle on top of the bathroom drain cover and "had to understand we were in the jungle." Do not be mistaken: this was not a "cheap hotel" by any stretch of the mind. For what we paid, this was nothing to be expected what so ever. So if you really want to have an awful experience and feel cheated and frustrated, go ahead and stay at the Perhentian Tropicana Inn.

Too pricey for what you get
We only chose this hotel because it was one of few places left available for the weekend we wanted to travel so we went for it. The location is fantastic - 5min walk to long beach and 10mins to Coral Beach. The staff were also very nice, but we felt ripped off for how much we paid for such a basic room. It cost 75SGD/night for a fan room. AC was not even provided for that price. It would make up for it a little if there were some other kinds of amenities provided, but the room is extremely basic - we had no bedding provided (only after we asked twice did we get a bed sheet and pillow covers, and the bed sheet didn't even fit the mattress!) and there wasn't even a bar of soap to use in the bathroom!! We also never got clean towels and we stayed here for 3 nights. The wifi was also non-existent in the room and in the common areas it hardly ever worked. We are fine staying in hostel-type accommodations, but if it's going to be hostel standard, then we expect to pay hostel prices, NOT 75SGD/night! That was way too high for what we got. When we go back to the Perhentian islands we will definitely book our accommodation in advance so that we can stay somewhere else that is worth the price. Unfortunately we will not be recommending this "hotel" to our friends. The island itself is beautiful though.

Not worth the money
The hotel was pretty clean and rooms were very basic but fine with a comfy bed and decent sized bathroom. However, it is way overpriced! For that money we expected 4* and we got 2* with unfriendly staff. Wifi only worked in reception and they turned it off at night and closed up the whole reception area after a certain time so there was no where to sit if you didn't want to be in your room. Good location but staff very unfriendly and had lost our booking when we got there. Everyone we met had basic but nice guest houses or hostels for about a fifth of the price we paid for ours!!
