After 2 nights of nightmare at Long Beach (super tourist, dirty. loud music the whole night, expensive) , my boyfriend and I moved to Mama's place. The owner is a very welcoming person. The rooms are basic but clean and the cost X benefit is excellent (everyone had told us that the small island was cheaper but we were pain... More

We love this place. This year we made our 8:th visit to Mamas. We like the family style and the food. Fresh fish and seefood is delivered every day. Every evening you can chose food from the kitchen or from the barbeque which is something extra. You can chose different lokations for chalets,beach front or garden view. The beach front... More

Nice place, bungalows are near the beach and for the most expensive, you'll have a good view on the sea. Bungalows are clean , with fan and AC, the shower is cold. No electricity from 8am until 7pm. Mama's ans her team are really friendly. The food is good, but not delicious, there a place nearby where the food is... More

My husband and I stayed here for one night before leaving the Perhentians due to the impending monsoon seaon. We got the water taxi over from the kecil island after 3 wonderful nights in Coral Bay at Maya. The bungalow was ok, but not beach facing (basic fan, you can't expect too much for 500RM per night), but had a... More

Room nice, staff helpful..but electricity restriction from 10am to 6pm, lie down on the beach. food reasonable but a bit slow, where you can enjoy your surrounding more. beach just in front of the room but to enjoy better spot go to perhentian besar 5minutes walk. Located in Perhentian Besar which is relaxful as compared to Perhentian Kecil

By this review I would like to share my TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE connected with Mama´s restaurant and discourage other travellers from visiting this place. On the 21st and 22nd of July 2011 I witnessed how Jeffrey, owner of Mama´s restaurant, and his employers STOLE EGGS FROM A GIANT TURTLE, which was laying the eggs on a sand beach. You will be...

Pros: - very calm - bungalows are cleaned daily and hygiene is high (for Malaysian standard, don't even dare to compare with Western standards) - very good restaurant except the BBQ is better at the neighbors - you can do direct snorkling - two dive-centers directly next - very friendly staff - family owned Contra: - all bungalows are very...

I stayed at Mama's now for the fifth time and each time I come I enjoy to stay with this family. I came in year 2001 what was the best year as there were still the nice beach just in front of the bungalows. I was there in 2005, 2007, 2008 and this year. Main owner this year is Jimmy... More

I was in this chalet with my family for 3 days and 2 nights. No drinking water was supplied and no kettle supplied to boil water. This means you must buy drinking water at RM4 per bottle from the restaurant operated by the same owner. Good money, huh.. When we went to other food outlets for our lunch or dinner,... More
