We went to Pulau Weh Paradise for four days just before Christmas and bookes one of their nice chalets. The pickup from Banda Aceh airport was punctual, and the driver took us around the city to drop us at the ferry well on time. He also knew a lot about the region. At Pulau Weh itself we got agin picked up by a lovely driver who also took us around one day to see the volcano, the Japanese war memorial, and Sabang City. This driver also picked us up on Sunday morning very early to queue for us at the ferry terminal for tickets. Beside their excellent driver service, the Paradise itself was clean, comfortable, and quiet; a perfect way to relax at the beach. Their restaurant had good local and Western food joices. All in all, the stay was great! Well recommended for the service, the comfort, and the gorgeous surroundings.…
Pulau Weh Paradise is tucked away, with its own private beach. The bungalows offer the wow factor with huge windows looking out over the waves and sand, well decked out with modern furniture. It's a little away from the main action from the rest of the island, but that can be a good thing - easily solved with a scooter or tuk tuk. There aren't too many rooms, making the resort serene. The staff are the hotel's biggest asset - warm, friendly and helpful. In particular, Sandy fast became a highlight of the trip with his helpfulness and lively personality. We'll miss his spirit. The water on this side of the island is a little choppier than other parts, but not really a problem. Just an FYI. It's the perfect place to chill if you've been buzzing round the rest of Sumatra, like we had.…
This is my second visit to Pulau Weh so I have had a chance to visit many of the other hotels. Pulau Weh Paradise has some of the best quality, clean villas on the island - all with amazing ocean views. The staff are extremely friendly and effortless dealt with every request. The location is on the quieter side of the island but a very easy (and fun) journey to some of the other beautiful beaches. I hired a car through the hotel because I didn't fancy a motorbike which was easily arranged and excellent value. The breakwater means that you can easily swim even at low tide or when the swell picks up. There is also supurb snorkelling for any ability right off the hotel's private beach. I travelled on my own this trip but would also highly recommend as being suitable for families - all the villas have inter-connecting rooms with the neighbouring villa. The owner is also very committed to environmental conversation as well as supporting the local community which is always a good thing. Thank you Pulau Weh Paradise and I look forward to my next visit.…
If you are looking for not crowded quiet place to chill out, this is the place. Staff was very friendly and feel like home. There’s also home stay type room above restaurant building with shared bathroom and offers very reasonable price but we preferred bungalow type room a lot. WiFi was slow because of network coverage for this area. Best to do is reading book, listening music and watch great sunset!
PWP is located about half hour from city, very isolated and you will surely need to book a car to get town for meals. We went in a large group. Some of us who stayed in the bungalows, we loved it! But the rest who stayed in the deluxe and double rooms, were not pleased with the facilities. The double rooms dont come with airconds, and all the double and deluxe rooms share the shower and toilet facilities like backpackers. I was indeed surprised that on one hand the bungalows portray exclusive resort setting but the other hand, the other rooms are very much like backpackers lodge. Unfortunately, their modem broke and there was no wifi in the common area and where the double and deluxe rooms are. There was wifi only in the bungalows. The management should update all their guests on this, so that we are better informed. Sandy or Sandir, the manager is fabulous. Entertaining, caring and very accommodating, and so are the the F&B team. We organized our own BBQ with lobsters, fish and chicken and the resort charged us for cooking services. Similar to the restaurants in Boracay. We got the resort staff to buy the lobsters, etc fresh from the fishermen and the rest from the market. Acehnese use lot of oil and sugar in their feed :), so we even shared recipes with them to adjust their cooking to our likings. You cant get this in hotels :) Udin, the external transport provider helped us with van bookings and tours. We paid Rupiah 700000 for whole day rental, all included no surprises. the visit to the waterfalls, hotspring and volcanic mountain was great. We loved the waterfalls. the trekking is quite challenging as its mostly rocky and slippery but the nature is lovely! The oldest in our group, my cousin who is 58 years old was helped by our guides and us, and she made it to the top! She felt so great and had no regrets joining the tough walk. Overall, the trip was excellent. You make the best out of it and as it it's a divers paradise dont expect the usual luxuries you will find in normal resorts.…
This place is a paradise, a perfect place to get away from civilisation. The hotel located right on seashore and the beach is clean and quiet. Booked the cheapest room and it was okay, there were shared bathrooms and it was clean. The staffs were friendly and one of them was wayyy too cheerful lol, but the service was too slow especially on dinner time. I saw a lot of people were waiting for their food to come out. I ordered fried rice because I thought it would be quick but it came out an hour later, might as well just go out to local restaurant near the hotel. Manager, if you're reading this, please hire more staff.
We stayed there 4 days and had a great time. The beach is great and you can snorkel directly in front of the bungalows. The hotel staff is really helpful for the transports, tours etc. The food is great but a bit more expensive than it should be and some meals can take up to 2 hours to be ready, so you should consider it before ordering. The public toilet and showers are clean and there is hot water. The rooms are clean and spacious. Cat lovers, you will like this place! There are many friendly cats and kittens around the place that want to be cuddled! Also, everything on the Island is about 25 minutes.
This is truly an amazing place, literally a paradise. The staff is super helpful and make sure you are feeling welcome. Rooms are spacious, clean and equipped by the western standard. The bungalows are amazing. The location is in the south of the island. You can rent the scooter and discover other parts of the island, while on the other hand you can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere in front of the hotel. You can spend some time in the hammock, sit in the gazebo, lie on the beach or snorkel at the home reef. The ongoing improvements are visible every day and with all the plans they have, the place will soon become even more amazing.
To end our trip of 4 weeks we stayed the last 4 days in Pulau Weh Paradise! For us this was trully a paradise! U are located 10 meters from the beach/sea and our bungalow had the best view! With very kind and helpfull people, we had the best experience on the best island we have ever been to! Joris & Inge
While the bungalow is just about perfect, the snorkeling in front is not the best and it it really too far away from anything and cost of hiring a car prohibits seeing more as it is not something you can do every day. Food is ok, definitely will be looking for other accommodation next time as feel this is just too far away from everything, and vehicle hire too expensive. Some staff very friendly, other staff not.
