Permai Rainforest Resort

It is a great place close to nature. We stayed in cabin 15, and we need to walk about 800 to 1,000 steps from the reception area to our cabin. They do provide buggy services to ferry you and your luggage to and fro your cabin but you may need to wait coz there are only 1 buggy serving the area. The cafe has very nice view, buffet breakfast is decent with choices. The room is big and cosy with basic amenities, beds are firm and comfy. Monkeys maybe spotted if you are lucky. Overall, we enjoyed our stay there.

Amazing stay in nature – unforgettable experience We had a fantastic time at this resort! The rooms were beautiful, spacious and surrounded by the lush forest — every morning we woke up to the sounds of birds, wind in the trees and the waves of the sea. It was peaceful, relaxing, and truly immersive. The breakfast was delicious, with both local and international options. The resort also had two nature trails right on site — both scenic and well maintained, perfect for an early walk. Just a few minutes away there was a cultural center with shops, local restaurants and access to several trekking routes. A perfect mix of nature, comfort and local charm. Highly recommended!

Overall very disappointing but in fairness there are some positives - interesting accommodation in the trees surrounded by the jungle and wildlife. Beaches are lovely.||Negatives:|- checked in at 3pm - arrived in treehouse (after a long journey) to find room not made up, dirty towels, bins full, etc. Had to walk back to reception and back (15 mins) to arrange housekeeping. Had to vacate the room again. |- no extra beds made up despite 2 children. Was rectified eventually. |- balcony door would not lock (required with youngish children). Maintenance did come and rectify.|- towels were heavily stained |- bathroom floods after a shower|- have to hire beach towels |- cannot dry clothes anywhere - an issue when in the rainforest and on day trips |- lastly we had by far and away the worst two meals of our trip so far (3 weeks into a 6 week SE Asia trip staying in a wide variety of accommodation). Service very very slow . Chicken rendang - two morsels of chicken full of bones left approx two mouthfuls left and the roti was dripping with oil and inedible. Breakfast was surprisingly even worse… |- despite having dinner included on the second night, we ate at the pool bar of the neighbouring restaurant. We were not the only family doing this.||The resort needs a big overhaul in my opinion.

It’s a great experience for one night into the nature. The room on the tree are very cute, but also rustic. Not fancy at all, be ready for getting into the forest :) We had dinner at the restaurant, food is delicious but it took 1 hour of waiting for eating so go early or book in advance ;)

Great rustic lodge on the beach with many opportunities to easily observe rare primates (proboscis), silver leaf monkeys, and crocodiles. Our family with teens stayed 2 nights in neighboring treehouses. Having visited ecolodges around the world, this is a great jumping off point for Bako, snorkeling, and the turtle hatchery at Satang. ||My picky eaters found things to eat. The food is fine and they have food allergy awareness, which we appreciated. We have peanut and cashew allergies amount our 4. We rented a car and drove ourselves to allow us to visit Bako NP on our departure day. They had breakfast early for us to allow for an early departure.

Slightly misleading marketing the accommodation was much more like a hostel than a hotel. Bed sheets were blood stained, not super clean and also hard to keep mosquitos out. Restaurant wasn’t great either. Location however was amazing saw monkeys everyday. I could overlook all the negatives if they served alcohol cause a cold beer in a beautiful location would have done a lot of heavy lifting. I think if you go in with the expectation of it being a hostel you will enjoy it but not sure the marketing matches that.

Never missed going here when in Kuching. I love everything about it, the scenery, the atmosphere, the nature.. You never know what you'll bump into when you're there. Though I have to say, they could do some renovating to the rooms and their training facilities as they are run down. It used to be a place to be when doing team building etc.

The resort is literally a piece of paradise. The location in the middle of the rainforest but somehow on the coast is just perfect for relaxing and taking a break from the busy life. The resort really tries and succeeds at minimizing its' impact on nature and so everything feels in harmony with the surrounding nature. It doesn't need a huge concrete building with 20 floors and I appreciste that immensely because it improved my experience to be so close to nature. The treehouse was GORGEOUS, spacious, clean, and well air-conditioned and it was definitely the right choice. The first beach is wonderful and great for swimming and activities.I would recommend staying for 3-7 nights. I will definitely come back and to me, it was worth every penny.
