Permai is fantastic, we had a treehouse and enjoyed waking up to monkeys and bird song each morning. It is a perfect place to just relax and do nothing or book some tours from. The staff were all lovely and helpful, if driving us themselves to catch a late afternoon boat trip. We extended our stay another night as we loved it so much.

Very good for a rainforest experience.
Nice one-day experience in the resort, with both rain and shine periods. Managed to get into one of the 2 new Treehouses, and experience was really good (with Monkey appearing on our doorstep in the morning). Overall property could be a bit more modern, but the feeling is good: you're really immerged in the rainforest, and trails to Mount Santubong are right out of your doorstep. Very nice to spend 1 or 2 days there.

You are staying in the rainforest, in a treehouse, with the China Sea crashing on rocks outside your back door. Everything else that could be considered a problem is overlooked

The tree house had a stunning view of the sea on one side and forest at the back. We liistned to the sea from our bed and watched the sun go down from our balcony. The beach was deserted (2nd beach) and we swam as the sun went down. A great marked trail of about 2 hours through mainly secondary forest. We had a fantastic high ropes experience and were lucky to find two snakes. The property is an easy walk to the cultural village. Breakfast if great with fresh fruit and any eggs you want plus other hot goodies, juice and tea/coffee. Again great views from the restauant.

Amazing place to stay in Borneo
This is an amazing place. Be sure to book a treehouse for beautiful ocean views. There are two beaches and a waterfall pool. They offer many activities, and there are gorgeous monkeys who live wild in the trees. Just be aware that as it is in the rainforest, there are ants that will get on any food you have in your room, so always rinse coffee cups and throw out wrappers. As long as you do that, your room will be fine.

It’s nice to have beach beside the hotel but there are many hotels around have this advantage too. Staff service overall is very bad. The attitude is bad esp at the restaurant. Less food. Bread and egg out of stock

Undiscovered charm
Staying in a Permai treehouse was a unique experience. It’s true that the houses are a bit dated but I believe they are in the throes of a refurbishment programme. They are beautifully situated with the rainforest in one side and the sea on the other and going to sleep with the sound of the waves and the crickets was very soothing! The pace of life at Permai is much slower that we are used to and you need to just relax and be patient, the staff are delightful and do their best in their own time. We were however a bit surprised that there was no alcohol served at all on site and thought that should have been mentioned in the booking process. The resort was keen to promote their trips and we took an evening boat excursion supposedly to view dolphins, crocs etc - unfortunately we did not come across any. Not their fault of course but we would have loved to have had some information during the trip about where we were, the local environment etc. Permai still feels like a relatively undiscovered holiday destination and this is undoubtedly part of its overall charm.

Special place in nature
Superb location. LOVED the jungle pool, LOVED the beach, LOVED having meals overlooking the beach. LOVED being surrounded by nature. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Seeing the Silver Leaf Monkey was really cool. For use, this is what took a bit of adjustment: wildflife in the cabin (giant ants, a large spider, a very fast little lizard). Not complaining - this was part of "one with nature" charm. One thing that could have been better: since there is no AC in the cabins, one must use the ceiling fans - except they were very DIRTY, a thick black layer of dust covering the white wings of each fan. Well, our family got into the cabin late in the evening, and, before turning the fans on, we took some toilet paper and cleaned each one.

8/10 Very Good

The place is amazing, being in the middle of the nature is truly appreciable. The activities are diverse. I was disappointed by something: the room was not clean (treehouse). We paid quite a price and expected the place to be clean. Unfortunately the room and mini kitchen and bathroom didn't seem to be really cared off. Why? The curtains were really sticky and dirty (metallic ones in the bathroom), the towels had some yellow stains on it, the toilet paper had apparently been under some water and dried again (how can you give this to clients...), there was some dust in the corners. The place is really nice overall and I don;t get why the tenants don't take a real care of it, specially in a place being in the middle of the jungle and by the sea, it needs even more extra care.

Excellent location rainforest & beach
Fantastic location in the heart of the rainforest. We stayed in a cabin and upgraded to AC by phone prior to arrival, we could not do this at the time of booking, when I contacted Expedia this was promptly sorted out with extra payment to be at the Permai. In relation to the price paid, the accomodation and food represented great value for money. The cabin was clean but as expected was basic and comprised of a lounge, two bedrooms, a shower room and separate toilet. There was a fridge in the lounge and bottled water was provided each day. The setting was excellent in the heart of the rainforest, we saw monkeys, squirrel, exotic birds, snakes and more. The beach was pristine and the water was clear and warm - ideal for swimming in. There is also a freshwater jungle pool which is refreshing. There are many activities such as kayaking, nature trails etc. We took a trip to see the Orangutans at Semenggoh Nature Reserve, we left the hotel around 7am with a free packed breakfast and made it well in time for the 9am feeding and we saw several Orangutan and babies too - this was a highlight of our trip. We shared the Permai van of costing 220 MYR between the two families + small entry fee. All staff were friendly and helpful. The food at this hotel seem home cooked and was local and deliciously flavoured. In fact we enjoyed not having too much choice. Overall we enjoyed our stay here, beware of mosquitoes. The only negative point was the beds were not comfortable.
