Abdul's Chalets is a wonderful property located on Pulau Perhentian Besar. We booked the 3 nights 4 days package with one additional night and found this the right amount of time to enjoy the island. The booking was done through the property's website and email address, and the price was one of the lowest we could find for such a package. The staff orgnized two snorkeling tips for us, one around the island (Turtle Beach, Shark Point, Fish Point and Turtle Bay), and one to Rawa Island. Both were excellent. The food was great too, with a wide variety of fruits, juices, fish, and meat. You are able to find both local and Western food in the menu. The staff were very kind, they advised us on the schedule to the Kota Bharu airport and provided us with the return boat transfer tickets from/to the mainland as part of the package. The wifi worked very well in the reception area. We stayed in the Garden View Chalet, which had air conditioning, a private bathroom, a mini fridge, a fan and a very comfortable bed. We appreciated the ornate interior and spend quite a few hours at the terrace every day. If you are a hiker and want to experience the jungle, you could do a loop around the island through the jungle, visiting Teluk Kekek, Flora Bay Beach and Perhentian Island Resort Beach. On your way, you may encounter leaf monkeys, gekkos, and larger monitor lizzards. Good snorkelling is possible at a nearby beach of Teluk Kekek. Finally, Abdul's Chalets has a jetty just steps away from the reception. We were very happy staying at Abdul's and hope to return!
