BuBu Villa

The location, the food, the service, everything was superb. Much better than expected and we booked at a discounted price which was totally worth the money. We had a great server, his name was Waqa. The drinks and food were absolutely delicious! Our family loved it here and its definitely located in the best part of Long Beach. Entering the property, it felt like walking into a secret garden. If you’re into a peace and quiet holiday, Bubu Villa is the perfect place.

This was the holiday of a lifetime. A fantastic experience for all of us (2x 60+ somethings and 2x 20+ somethings). Carla and her entire team without exception were attentive, friendly, and each very interesting in their own individual way. From first impressions (the porter carrying a 25Kg suitcase from the landing boat up the beach to the hotel - on his head!!), through the welcome drink and Carla's very helpful introduction to island life, the food, and happy hour cocktails every day that you can set your watch by ready for the evenings activities along the beach (fire show, lots of excellent food, beach bars), will remain in our memories for a very long time - well at least until we return again!! The beach was a great blend of very clean, and lively enough to be interesting without overcrowding (the two weeks before Europe schools break for summer). So much to do too! We were here 8 nights and were busy right through, snorkelling with turtles, baby shaks (sic), little Nemo's and a whole host of other tropical fish. We were lucky enough to see, on two separate days, turtles come up the beach in front of the hotel to lay 100+ eggs (taken to a local sanctuary for hatching and release), and watch the mothers (Shirley Turts and Lily Shelby) make their way back to the water after dark. Amazing wildlife. A short day trip to Redang island was very worthwhile too - beautiful beaches. The boat boys (GreenBoys next to the hotel) were super helpful and friendly for all our excursions out to sea. We made a great number of ongoing social media friends on this trip. We used the spa on several occasions - June's massages were terrific after a long day in the sun and sea.

Lovely room and full of privacy but alas couldn’t really enjoy the outdoors ( the room has an outer wall and door and private garden) as at night there is an army of blood thirsty mosquitoes and we didn’t pack any mosquito coils. Room was fully equipped with all amenities and a safety box. Comes with free breakfast and also a cocktail and snack (4-6pm). A little pricey but it’s on Long Beach and with free beach towels and sheltered huts or so on the beach.

The hotel and it's facilities are amazing and very comfortable. Among the very best where I have stayed. The settings of the Perhentians Islands a re world class with amazing snokelling, coral, sharks and turtles. The thing that made it all stick together were the staff. Amazing service food and drinks and extremely welcoming. Couldn't recommend a better place to stay. Stayed as a family with 6 adults.

Well positioned on a calm side of the famous Long beach on the Small Perhentian, Bubu Villas exceeded our expectations. A nice central area welcomes you at arrival, after a pickup with the Bubu’s private boat at Kuala Besut. The bar/restaurant and lobby are located here. Our bungalow was on the back in a silent area with lots of green, you feel you are inside the jungle. Room very big and clean, personnel extremely gentle and accommodating all our needs. Very good food (by far the best on the island even if a bit expensive), we could do two marine excursions with snorkeling and good guidance. We recommend Bubu Villas, we will come again.
