Permai Rainforest Resort

Location

The beach was inaccessible as salt water crocs had been spotted in the area over the weekend - a reasonable safety precaution. But the natural pools in the resort had low water levels and were too stagnant and slimy to be considered an alternative option - understandable as they have not had much rain however, still disappointing.

Beautiful location close to the beach but still in the jungle. Great with small kids. They have baby cots and the beaches with kids are great. Very friendly staff , helpful with organising trips and transfers and explain you about thr wildlife. Different trails through the jungle. Did the smallest trail with two kids ( 2y/4y)

We are family of 2 adults 2 children stayed in the Premium Treehouse for a night. It was a great experience for us! The trekking trails are full of flora and fauna including towering dipterocarp trees together with liana vines dangling around the trail. Fauna seen was silvered langurs together with the rare proboscis monkey swinging across the canopy while squirrels scramble back and forth between the trees. During the night, bats and insects came out, the bats flew swiftly beneath the canopy sweeping up prey while insects clambered on the thick roots of buttress root dipterocarps. Both beaches are clean and safe for children.

Could be due to high volume of stay during the holidays, we didn’t get to enjoy the room at the check-in time 2pm. However, the housekeeping staffs sped up the cleaning process at their very best and it resulted in a slight delayed of 30min only.

The surroundings are lush and green, making it genuinely feel like living in the middle of a rainforest. We had an amazing experience spotting wildlife right around the area—we saw a family of proboscis monkeys eating mangrove leaves and other unique monkeys playing near the trees by the beach. On top of that, the seawater was crystal clear and really fun to play in!

Villa 24 was very disappointing. The window lock was broken, which felt quite unsafe. Additionally, the toilet was clogged during our stay.
