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.

This was a cabin in the rainforest, so in the thick of nature. Sadly for us, it rained during our whole stay. I think its an amazing location for getting away and seeing wildlife on your doorstep. There are on resort things that you can pay for like bat walk, kayaking, high ropes and boat trips. There are also self guided trails. I think if you are staying longer than a few days, you may run out of activities. I also thought the boat trip was a bit pricey considering others we had been on in Malaysia. The staff were friendly and answered all concerns. There is no Wifi in the cabins and even our eSIMs struggled with reception. The rooms could do with a few more amenities like hooks, iron, hairdryer, more sockets and wifi. The fridge and kettle were welcome. The breakfast was lovely with a variety and changed daily. You can order a meal or even to your cabin from the restaurant, but we wanted a few more options. They also do yummy milkshakes. The restaurant is a lovely place to relax as there is wildlife around and you are practically on the beach. It also had Wifi. You can get laundry done, but it needs to be requested - no option to do yourself. There is a small shop at reception, but not well stocked and seemed musty. The 'second' beach really needs better steps sorted so you can get to it safely. We didn't use the jungle pool - my kids were very suspicious. City centre is 1 hr drive & Grabs don't come I loved this resort, but a few improvements could be even better!

Die Lage der Baumhäuser ist traumhaft. Direkt am Meer, mit einem kleinen wunderschönen Strand und dennoch im Dschungel. Die Baumhäuser sind unterschiedlich im Grad der Renovierungsbwdürftigkeit, es lohnt, sich ggf mehrere zeigen zu lassen. Und es gibt zwei ganz neue, die unbedingt wert sind zu buchen, wenn möglich. Das Essen vom buffett ist eher einfach, aber man kann sich für wenig Geld Gerichte von der Karte bestellen, was ebenfalls lohnt. Und unbedingt die Wanderung durch die Anlage machen, toller, anspruchsvoller Weg mit -zumindest in der Regenzeit- beeindruckendem Wasserfall. Das Permai lohnt für ein paar Nächte auf jeden Fall schon wegen seiner Lage und des Ambientes.

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.

Not worth the prize, terrible food

A film crue or what not was camped just next to our treehouse and made quite the noise. The next morning some group started to play loud music on the beach at 7am. Quite hard to sleep in those circumstances. Dinner was terrible, tried it the first night and after that went straight to the food court at Damai central. Breakfast wasn't better. Treehouse was a good sized, hasn't had maintenance in a while, but was ok. Toilet seat wasn't attached properly so the whole room smelled like pee. Airport shuttle driver was 1/2hour late from our booked leaving time. Jungle trail was nice, not so well kept as the one in Santubong National Park but preferred it that way.

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.

Belle emplacement.

Super emplacement en bord de mer et en pleine jungle. Par contre, pour le prix, les bungalow sont équipés du minimum et sans aucun confort et au niveau de la restauration du soir en demi pension, les quantités étaient trop juste ! Par contre, le personnel était très agréable. Privilégier les maisons dans les arbres !

Ein Baumhaus mitten im Dschungel und den Strand direkt vor der Tür, was will man mehr. Für Naturliebhaber einfach einzigartig. Wir genossen die Natur und vorallem die Ruhe (wir hatten Glück und waren fast alleine dort, zumindest hat es sich so angefühlt) . Das Personal war sehr freundlich und auch die angebotenen Speisen sowohl zum Frühstück als auch zum Abendessen waren einwandfrei. Am liebsten hätten wir mehr Zeit dort verbracht.

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.

Resort in the jungle

Went to permai rainforest resort for the real jungle experience. We saw a lot of exotic animals and the staff were so nice and showed us the animals who visit. The location were really nice if you just want to relax in the jungle. The cabins were old and beaten. But perfect for you who looking for the jungle felling and relax. Not luxury. They don’t have alcohol in the resort so bring with you or go to Escobar a bar in a resort 15 min walk away. I really enjoyed it!!
