Permai Rainforest Resort

Yes, you will live in a tree house in a nature park and have a beautiful view of the beach. The only thing is that you should be prepared for the fact that everything is older than it looks in the photo. Also, local monkeys will come to visit you, and a squirrel was even able to sneak into the house and steal a croissant. We also saw a monitor lizard near the cafe. You are unlikely to get something like this anywhere else. Despite the simplicity and slight wear and tear (the houses could use some renovation), the rooms have a shower, refrigerator and air conditioning, which makes your stay quite comfortable. You must understand that this is not a luxury resort and the main thing here is nature. The forest trails and beach here are truly wonderful. There is always a rental station for sups and kayaks on the beach. The rooms are cleaned daily and the staff is always ready to help you to make your stay here generally comfortable and I'm reading this interesting experiment. Breakfast is included in the stay - it is very simple, but acceptable. You can have lunch and dinner at the neighboring resort or go to the neighboring village of Kampung Buntal, where there are several excellent local restaurants. Calling a taxi is very easy. It’s even better to leave for Kuching in the evening and arrive at night to go to your house through the night forest. This was definitely the most unusual accommodation experience during my travels, and there was a lot that could have been better here, but that’s not really something to criticize. I recommend this hotel to those who want something new.

The spacious treehouse had a beautiful view of the ocean and beach as well as the surrounding forrest. We loved that we could hear and see the monkeys jumping around in the morning and evening! Very relaxing to lay in bed and hear the ocean. Beach No2 is stunning and calm, perfect for relaxing! Nice hikes available (the 5,5km trail takes around 2h) Buffet breakfast with egg station was very good, but sometimes took a bit long to refill. Restaurant "the feeding tree" serves good nasi lemak (big and tasty portion) for a reasonable price (much better quality-price-portion size ratio then the food court) Nespresso machine with capsules in the room! Grab advance booking worked well in the region (otherwise no grab available)

The staff were wonderful and couldn't do enough for us. The location is beautiful and walking trails clearly marked out. Loved the monkeys and the sound of all the wonderful birds/animals. We had the most amazing boat trip (organised by the team at Permai) which included snorkling, mangroves, lunch, a visit to turtle island (where we saw newly hatched baby turtles and were educated on the conservation efforts for the turtles (really interesting). We were then lucky enough to see the salt water crocodile (Abu). We loved every minute!! The whole vibe of the place was just brilliant and we didn't want to leave.

The resort is an amazing place with direct access to safe beaches, jungle trails, a jungle pool and a restaurant. Treehouses are great while they vary in view and "newness" of their facilities. There are monkeys all around and beautiful nature and staff is super friendly. Not much to complain

We loved staying at this unique spot in the jungle. The rooms were so clean and well kept and the large windows look out onto the canary with the sound of the ocean just beyond the trees. We were here during the offseason so there was not much in the way of kayaking or tour activities but we still enjoyed hiking and walking to the nearby cultural center. We saw monkeys every day and lots of birds and a monitor lizard. If the jungle pool doesn’t suit you the beaches are close and so beautiful! The staff was very wonderful at both the reception and the restaurant. We had an AC issue one day and they responded immediately to help us be comfortable. This is a rustic location that despite its remoteness and jungle setting is clean, safe and comfortable. Highly recommend
