Fantastic property in a lovely location with a great owner

We stayed 3 nights in an ocean view room and we were very happy with our stay. Clean rooms, good air con, hot water and a great view of the ocean from the room and veranda. They also have a hot water station downstairs and flasks and cups in the room to make hot drinks. They have a small restaurant on site that has basic breakfast and also burgers. There are also other restaurants a few mins walk away. There is also a shop that stocks pretty much everything. You can pay by card or cash no problem. Suhaila the owner was super friendly and accommodating she gives the guests of the hotel home made banana cake which is a nice touch. She is super friendly and nice person to talk to.

A wonderful stay in paradise

The staff and location were amazing. Sunhaila welcomed us warmly and force fed us banana bread on every possible occasion - she couldn't do enough to make sure we enjoyed our stay Fatiya has to get a special mention too - so lovely and welcoming. They recommended a great snorkeling trip and lots of places to eat on our bit of the island as well as offering to arrange water taxis if we wanted them. The room was clean and comfortable, if basic.

Great place to stay on the bigger island

The lady owner was so kind and friendly, she made me fat with all the banana cake! Perfect location from the jetty. Huge room with two double beds (we were there as a couple). Very close to beach and the view was amazing, getting to see fish and sharks. Had fan and air con which was perfect. I only had breakfasts there, and loved the pancakes.

Dreamy.

Our stay at Suhaila Palace was honestly an amazing experience from start to finish. The location is absolutely breathtaking, with beautiful views all around and such a peaceful atmosphere. One of the coolest things was being able to see baby sharks swimming near the front porch at night — something we’ll genuinely never forget. The room had everything we needed: strong AC, good Wi-Fi, a comfortable setup, and all the essentials for a relaxing stay. The connection was even reliable enough for me to do some online teaching during the trip, although once you’re there, you really just want to switch off and enjoy island life. Suhaila was incredibly hospitable and helpful throughout our stay. She organised really good snorkeling tours and even kindly let us use her own snorkel kit around the nearby beach areas. She also had useful amenities available in her shop and gave excellent recommendations for food spots nearby. Overall, this was such a memorable and relaxing experience, and we truly hope to come back again in the future. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a peaceful and beautiful stay in Perhentian Besar. Terima kasih banyak — kami pasti akan datang lagi, insyaAllah 🇲🇾🏝️ (Thank you very much — we will definitely come again, God willing.

Great view into the Bay. At night we had visits from some baby sharks right under the terrace. The owner is super friendly and helpful. If you leave with the last boat, they have extra Shower and towels for you and take care of your baggage. The banana pancakes for breakfast where just delicious!!

Great location

The location is great. Very near coral just off the shore where you can see loads of fish, and great beaches. The staff are helpful, and can book a boat trip at short notice- not too busy when we were there. Great view from the upstairs rooms.

A truly wonderful stay. The place is located in a stunning setting, with beautiful water and a very relaxed island atmosphere. What made the experience even more special was the kindness of the people working there — always friendly, helpful and welcoming. It’s the kind of place that reminds you how beautiful simple island life can be. Highly recommended.
