We didn't stay at this resort, but the reviews don't look good. Nonetheless, the food at the Watercolours pub is both tasty and varied. Given the challenges of operating on an island they seemed to do a great job. Prawns in creamy garlic curry sauce were great and the pizza's were prefectly fine too. Beef in szechuan sauce and chicken... More

We have just returned from the WATERCOLOURS resort aka Paradise resort on Perhentian Besar (Big island). If I had have known that this was the same place and read the reviews I would have thought twice about staying here. However this place took bookings over the phone and as it had only one room available left over the weekend, it... More

We reserve a room and transfer from airport via email and that was really effective; prompt answers and everything was very easy arranged. We knew is budget resort and that rooms are basic, without outlets, but we didn't expect such poor conditions, We booked seaview room with AC. Double bed was small, uncomfortable - only with a thin sponge, and... More

My partner and I were excited to be coming to this hotel, but upon arrival were extremely disappointed with the standard of rooms. The hotel must be living off an ancient reputation. The bed was the most uncomfortable I have ever slept on, I would have been more comfortable if I had slept on a hedgehog. The pillow appeared to... More

It's a pretty standard resort, and we knew that when we checked in. But we really didn't expect RATS in our room!!! We had just said goodnight, when we heard the small rodents running around in our room. We all woke up, and had to pack all of our things in the middle of the night. We looked under the... More

Type in Watercolours Paradise and TA sends you all over the place, as so many reviewers used the work paradise when referring to Watercolours Impiana Resort on Kecil, which is closed down and under refurb. And like fool thats where I entered my review cos I couldnt locate this link. So I'm not going to repeat it all - suffice... More

It is a very busy, crowded place with a very friendly giggling female staff but the only reason for it being busy is the price and maybe the bieer they serve in the restaurant. Yes, this place is cheap but it is also shabby, dirty and neglected. We stayed in a new longhouse in the garden, 3 night in one... More

This is definitely not the best hotel in the world but let's just be happy that this island is not yet taken over by tasteless 4-5 star resorts. If that would be the case you would be paying 5-10 times the price you pay at Watercolours - and let's be honest, you don't come here for the hotel, but for... More

Possibly the best place to eat in the area ... and one of the few places to be able to buy a beer with the meal; but when we come back, we'll still eat here but stay in accommodation around the corner in Coral Bay. Even taking into account it's budget accommodation, it's still under the line that I find... More
