Pulau Payar Holidays from AU$1,904

it was alright, room services and amenities were not up to the mark.

lovely place. coming back in December!

Beautiful villa, excellent service, delicious food at the in-house restaurants.

The Danna is a small(ish) hotel that trades on its beachfront location and luxurious rooms. We were very happy there during our five night stay. Each of the three restaurants offers decent food and generous portions. The pool area is comfortable, although some maintenance may be required soon. All the staff are lovely. It’s a fine place either to do nothing or to go birdwatching or kayaking. Given the quality of the product the price is more than reasonable. My only criticism is that there needs to be a separate pool area for kids - otherwise the adults who just want to relax will find their day disrupted.

Wow! What a gorgeous resort. I have never stayed anywhere quite like here. The heritage buildings are absolutely gorgeous and are all original. The way they have renovated these but kept the original feel is lovely. When we arrived the room wasn’t quite like the photo, I think an issue with Hotels.com advert - honestly we thought we had a whole cabin to ourselves but they are rooms within the cabins / buildings. The staff were fantastic and quickly moved us into the room we were expecting. The room had a cosy living room with TV, a nice bedroom and decent bathroom with a cool wooden bath tub. Be warned tho - they are quite rustic but it’s all a part of the lovely charm this hotel offers. One things we loved about this hotel was the pool. Again I’ve not been in one quite like it - it was all made with stone (I think) rather than tiles and looks right onto a gorgeous spa building - so cool! The breakfast and food options were also great and reasonably priced (breakfast was included of course). The location is very close to the airport, and to get around the island my husband and I hired a car which I would highly recommend, just made things so much easier. I would certainly recommend this hotel, walking around looking at all the different buildings was great, and thanks to all the welcoming and helpful staff.
