Traveling to Malaysia? Find Perhentian Islands hotels

Best experience 3D2N at Perhentian Island with Mimpi Hotel. Hotel, transfer boat and snorkeling activities arrange by Mimpi. Swimming pool facing Long beach with magnification view. Breakfast is good. Friendly staff specially staff girl at swimming counter which really help my kids on arrangement snorkeling activities. Thumbs up. Need to improve room wifi signal but other matter was awesome. Really recommended if you want to stay at Long Beach Perhentian Island.

In general accommodation in Perhentian islands is over priced compared to KL and other countries in South East Asia. Having said that, I got a good value deal for islands here. The location is handy and although few rooms have ocean views, they are set in a lovely garden and the hotel layout is interesting. Views from restaurant areas are great. Staff were very friendly and the buffet breakfast was good. Handy to beach and very convenient for the ferry.Coral Bay is not quite as good as long beach for swimming but still fantastic and overall it is a much more relaxed and quiet place to stay than long beach which is about 10 minute walk away if you do want loud music and bars.

We stayed at Perhentian Tivoli Hostel for 6 nights, for which I am glad we did as it was a well needed break from back packing adventures around Malaysia and Borneo. Tivoli Hostel is located about 3 minutes walk from Long Beach behind Perhentian Tropicana Inn. The prices were slightly higher compared to other places on the island but still it was value for money. The hostel had clean comfortable rooms with really comfy beds and pillows.(Not like those in normal hostels). They had both private rooms and also dorm rooms both with attached bathrooms. Shower temperature varied due to dependence on solar power. The staffs were friendly but we had difficulty communicating with some of them and it was obvious that they lacked training but that was not a serious problem. They even gave us a nice big mat for us to sit on the beach every time even without we asking which was really appreciated. I would definitely recommend a stay here for a few nights of your trip at least.

The reviews did scare me, however we wanted to visit the Perhentian islands and we had no alternative. I must say the the resort was wonderful. Let me start with the room (we booked a superior room in the main building). The beds are more than ok, however the shower and toilet (both in the room and the one are the reception) could use some updating and that's an understatement). The breakfast is for malesian standerds very good. You can get toast, all kinds of pastry, fruits, cereal, and Malsian style breakfast. Moreover, you can order eggs (prepared in all ways: omelette, scrambled etc). The menu of the restaurant has enough choice. We also had lunch in other places, but I must say that the restaurant in Arwana was very good. The chef (Abdulrazak) is very kind and even gave us some Malaysian chicken saté. For diner they also have a very good bbq or fish steam boat. The best plus of the resort is the swimming pool. It is cleaned every morning. It is a shame that they do not invest in a good filtering system (you don;t need to clean the pool in the morning so in the long run saved you money and the pool isn't dirty in the evening). This is the largest swimming pool on the island. Is very useful if you have small children (and indeed for adults :-). The hotel has also it's own small pier. This is very handy if you need to carry luggage. You don't need to drag this over the beach to you resort. Another big plus it the diving school at the facility. For people that have no experience...the pool is very handy for learning the basics of diving. We took lessens and found are very satisfied...other schools go to shallow water witch is very hard due to the waves. Finally, the staff is very nice...although I believe this hold for most people in Malesia. I also took some din

I am a budget traveller. We are 2 girls. Before we arrive in Perhentian Island, I was expecting a budget lodge, but the lodge is much more than I expected. Very clean, right in front of the beach, looking nice, the bed is cozy and I am so in love with the pillows provided 😊 . The staffs are friendly and helpful. Teluk Dalam is where families and budget travellers like myself are recommended to stay. There are restaurants and burger stalls with reasonable prices along the Teluk Dalam beach so it wont make you compulsory to have the fullboard package including meals. We saved alot! We booked for aircond room with breakfast only. Wish Bayu Dive Lodge will provide Malaysian breakfast set in the future 😁. The only thing lacking at Teluk Dalam is that you hardly find fishes close to the beach. If you are looking for beautiful fishes and corals, trek into the jungle located at the back to PIR beach and Coral View Island Resort beach. The trek is worth to explore! Only took us about 25 to 30 minutes trekking. You may see big lizards while trekking 😃 but dont worry they are nice creatures and they fear humans. Not so much of hiking. We just wore sandals. You have to pass high grass areas in the beginning only for about 10minutes then the trek ll be much clear. In case you are not the trekking-type person, can easily took up a water taxi with price of about rm18/way to the beach. Water taxi are everywhere along the beach so can easily go to any other beaches for those who wish to save money by not taking any snorkeling package or trip. Loving Perhentian!!

I rated full stars bcs I want my review to be heard. If I rate 1 star no one will ever notice my comments. This is the worst chalet I ever stayed in Perhentian Island. I will never stay in Tropicana again. The bangladesh staff at the reception has no manners at all, plus our room is too far from the beach and need to hike with our huge backpacks before arriving. Is this what we paid for????? The room also doesn’t meet my expectations, too small and hot and too expensive. Not worth every penny. If anyone wants to stay here pls think twice. Not suggested I swear

we stayed here for 3 days and 2 nights. overall experience is way better than expected. The location is excellent despite the beach is a short walk away. staff are very helpful. very calm and tranquil. not much noise around. during the day, there is a lot of hammock and bench to relax ourselves under the shades. the food is not too expensive. overall prices is more or less about the same as the stalls around it. their barbecue is excellent. the sauce is amazing. oh, don't worry about not enough cash on your hand because they also accept debit/credit card payment. they also replaces 4 bottles of small drinking water bottles everyday for us. the room is cosy and clean. mini fridge, safe deposit box are available. hotwater and air-conditioning also available 24/7. downside is the bathroom slighty smelly but very clean. definitely will be staying here again if we are going to perhentian island.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Alunan. This is truly a special place. accommodation and facilities were exceptional. We really enjoyed the private deck above our room. The excursions were organised and guided in a professional manner. We managed to swim with turtles and sharks and really enjoyed the excursions. The food at Alunan was amazing. Much better quality and tastier when compared to other resorts on Perhentian Island. The were friendly and extremely courteous . Big thank you to Yana, Mun, Deewan, Abe and especially Nur (we loved his icecream!). Professional, helpuful and always willing to assist with a smile. We managed to tour the Perhentian Islands as Mun was always willing to take us around. Loved all the beaches on the islands. Crystal clear waters, fish in abundance and just natural untouched beauty. This is a special place. We will definitely be back.

Resort has a very nice beach (compared against others that we've been to at Perhentian islands), staff is amazingly friendly and helpful (upon arrival we had an issue with leaking handshower - it took 10 mins for someone to come over to see the problem and next 10 mins to fix it by replacing it with a new one). When doing the booking ourselves, we noticed people raising 2 issues: quality of food and cleanliness. In the resort we ate only breakfasts and these were great (big variety that will fit everyone's tastes). When it comes to cleanliness on a daily basis our room was nicely cleaned up. Overall we are very satisfied with our stay at this resort and if we come back to Perhentian Islands (which I very much hope for!) then we would definitely stay at Perhentian Island Resort again.

first off, forget what you think is 5 star. the perhentian islands are basic! some of the other 'hotels' offer next to nothing with no spirit either, and we were overwhelmed when we arrived at bubu. the staff were so friendly, helpful, and the rooms were really comfortable. the beach makes up for anything else, and anyone who gripes about the hotel really should investigate the others. this place is perfection!! the most organised and 'local' place on both islands, great service, incredible views, and the best food we ate in our 2 week stay. i didn't think we had breakfast included, but breakfast was included (delicious), and we also got 2 free cocktails each evening between 5 and 6. it kind of made up for the price tag. i'd recommending saving this place for the last, because trust me, it is the best, and you will be surprised.

Everything was perfect at the Ombak Resort. The staff is always smiling and available. The 2 snorkeling outings went very well. The breakfast buffet is very well provided, there is something for everyone. The screening of a film every night is nice, and if it bothers us there are other quiet places on the beach. The "bad" scores due to the almost total absence of wifi is not justified. If you need to connect, the reception is there to meet your needs (check-in online for flights, printing boarding passes, booking boat return...). We are on the Perhentian Islands, being cut off from the world is delicious-looking. Thank you Ombak!

Friendly staff. Given Perhentian hotels are expensive compared to KL and many other parts of Asia, this was great value. Great location (many rooms have sea view from balcony) and the restaurant was over the water. Rooms were clean and power was on all day. 5 minute walk to ferry jetty. Quiet beach but if you want the noise and party of long beach, is only a 10-15 minute walk away. Long beach is probably better for swimming but Senja Bay is located on Coral Bay so there is some coral for snorkeling.

This is by far the best place to stay on the Perhentian Islands. The villa is really lovely and very spacious with an awesome outdoor bathroom and lots of big windows. The breakfast was great with more than enough options and great coffee. Every evening guests get two free alcoholic cocktails, which given the price of alcohol in the Perhentians is really fantastic (it's a MYR140 value for two people every night). The beach is great and they have sun loungers with traditional umbrellas for guests in front of the resort. The beach on Long Beach is the probably one of the bluest water experiences you're ever going to have in your life. The room could have benefited from a fridge, a TV (just to be used to connect a laptop to for a movie at night), a small sound system and an armchair. For the price of the room, these extras should be included. Further, some minor repairs were needed (some lights in the back of the villa in the indoor section of the bathroom were broken, the air-conditioning dripped the last night we were there). Regardless of these issues, of the eight nights we spent in the Perhentians, the two at Bubu Villas were the best in terms of accommodation and service, we felt relaxed and comfortable.
