I had a wonderful stay at BuBu Resort. The location is truly paradise: a beautiful beach, clear water, comfortable sun loungers, and a very relaxing atmosphere. The restaurant was also excellent. Every meal was delicious, with a great selection of dishes and consistently good quality. What made the experience even more special was the staff. Everyone was kind, welcoming, attentive, and always ready to help. I really appreciated the genuine hospitality and the care shown throughout my stay. Thank you to the entire BuBu Resort team for making my time on Perhentian Island so enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this resort and would be very happy to come back.

“Booked Bubu Resort but was upgrade to Bubu Villa - would highly recommend!”
I booked Bubu Resort but was actually moved to Bubu Villa as my stay overlapped with the resort closing for the season. This upgrade was at no extra cost to me and was lovely. I walked past the Bubu resort multiple times too (only a 5 to 10min stroll up the beach) and it also looked great so I'm sure I would have been happy there too. However, the things I loved about Bubu Villa were the enclosed garden around my room/unit. The room was lovely, spacious and clean with a day bed in the window for reading, a coffee/tea station and a lovely bathroom area with a shower that looked out into the garden (your garden was private so no one could see in). The garden area also had an outdoor shower for after the beach. Bubu Villa looks directly onto the beach (although the garden villas do not have a sea view due to them being enclosed) and there is an area roped off in the water for you to swim in, you can swim elsewhere on the beach too but boats can pass by. Bubu Villa staff were fantastic, very friendly and welcoming and made me feel at home for my 4 night stay. Breakfast was always delicious and you could have freshly made fruit juice as well as freshly cooked options in addition to the buffet. The happy hour afternoon cocktail was a fun bonus to come back to after a morning of swimming/snorkelling/diving and the food at the villa restaurant was delicious (more expensive than other restaurants along the beach but fresh, still reasonably priced and definitely worth trying at least one night of your stay). Overall, I loved both my time on the Perhentian Islands and Bubu Villa. I would live to visit again!!

We love that the hotel is just right in front of the beach. The room was clean, and the staff are friendly. The restaurant was great too.

The breakfast was amazing, the staff really nice and there are few details that makes the difference such the welcoming drink and the free happy hour every day. The rooms are quite spacious and cozy.

“Great 4 day stay. Will probably chose BuBu Resort again next time.”
Good food. Breakfast and Happy Hour were great. Location right on the beach, and chairs/lounges best option on Long Beach.

“Great, paradice on earth”
Everything is so well arranged, welcomr drink, comfortable sinbeds and a free cocktail and snack in the afternoon. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, get cleaned every day. Location is also very good and the staff is very nice. Everything you need is there. The restaurand and trips are a little overpriced compared to the local operators, but well arranged and I think worth the money.
