I don't really have anything negative to say about this place! We approached the beach by boat, and the staff came to pick us up immediately and show us to our chalet. The chalet was basic, but very atmospheric and romantic. If you are ok to strip back to basics, this place really is wonderful (no electricity, cold shower, just... More

Possibly the best place in the world, secluded, peaceful, great food, views and company - nothing else matters. From the instant I stepped foot on the beach, I was given a warm welcome and immediately catered to my needs without even asking, but was offered a beer... which is exactly what I needed. The rooms are extremely clean, the bedding... More

Very good place to have a rest. Good food, nice people, beauty beaches and jungle. This place has only 5 chalets for 10(12) persons, and it is in lonely place, but You don't need anything more that you get. You can spend great time on snorkeling, diving, jungle trekking or talking with very friendly staff.

A good vacation needs 3 things: 1) A beautiful place. 2) Good food. 3) Great people. I found all these thing at Petani Beach. A beautiful place. This place is paradise. 5 cute bungalows, steps away from the peach. It's quiet and private. Unless you want to party with 20 somethings all night long...this is the place you have to... More

Petani is (auf jeden fall) and was by far the most special place to stay on the island...depending on what you are looking for. It's secluded and has the most gorgeous private strip of beach out of any other place to stay on Kecil. Between (zwischen) die Bungalows is a row of waving palm trees where you can set up... More

First of all I had to say: We want to stay for 3 nights and extended so often because we simple don´t want to go. I remember that I was crying when we were back in Kota Bharu and waiting for our bus to singapore. Because I miss this beautiful place so much. It´s not only this beautiful romantic beach... More

I agree with previous review on many things but coral beach does not have a nice beach!! So the beach at Petani is the nicest and the only one where you can snorkel. Long beach isn't nice either. Why go to petani? If you don't want to be with 100 other tourists, if you want a nice private beach, if... More

I had big expectations for this place. It consistently rates well on trip advisor and we were looking forward to spending a week there. Debbie had been very responsive to our emails and as a result we had confidence in the place. When we first arrived we were very taken with the bungalow operation. 5 bungalows in a nice landscaped...
