The main thing that I misjudged when booking our stay as part of our honeymoon in the perhentian islands, is that its packed. You can't swing a cat for space between all the lodges on the beaches. I purposfully didn't book teh Perhentian Island resort, a) because it looked pretty sterile, b) was a bit pricey and c) didn't have... more

We arrived and were acousted by the manager as to why we hadn't confirmed our reservation (though it was confirmed two days earlier by email)-didn't set a good tone with my partner! Beachfront chalet was VERY basic-but clean-loved the Winnie-the-Pooh comforter and matching pillows! Fan did not oscillate but aircon and fan worked. PLace was not cleaned while you stayed... more

We stayed for a week in a sea view chalet (lovely view). We where not expecting luxury but the unclean bathroom attracted a few cockroaches. They have a very quick turn around of occupants and miss the bit where you freshen a room up. The chalet staff where at times ignorant and rude (not the younger serving staff) If you... more

In other words: perfect ! Aziz and his large family give you the best they can, which is more than enough. Even if the accomodation are far from luxurious, we spent two marvellous weeks in this place, touring the islands and coming back in the evening to enjoy the sunset and then good and cheap food at the restaurant. We... more

We stayed 2 nights at Mama's Place before moving the Perhentian Kecil. We were dissappointed with our stay here. The beach is nice enough and the views idyllic, but it is very rocky and nothing in comparison with the resorts on the other island. Food is also pricey and there is no nightlife at all to speak off. The resturants... more

First we've spent 3-4 nights at Pulau Perhentian Kecil,and then we've moved into Pulau Besar. In our opinion Pulau Besar is more interesting island, and mama's place is amazing place to get rest. The bungalow's are spacious, near the beach and that's very important there's electricity all day long. There were problems with electricity on the Pulau Perhantian Kecil. If... more

Just back from 4 days at Mama's and I cannot fault it. We just wanted a simple enjoyable holiday and we got just that. The chalet is simple but was spotless and comfortable, suited our needs perfectly, and the owners are just so nice and helpful. The Turtle Bay Dive shop attached to the place is the best dive company... more

Stayed for three nights in one of the chalets with seaview. You get a basic cabin with a simple bathroom (no hot water, but who cares when it's so warm outside), aircon + ventilator and a private porch. Unfortunately the beach in front of the place got badly hit by the monsoon some years (?) ago and basically vanished, so... more
