BuBu Villa

Bubu Villa provided the perfect base for our tropical paradise escape in the Perhentians. The food was so good we came back every lunch and dinner even though other options on the island also looked great. The snorkelling excursions matched the offer from other providers but it was practical to have everything organised for us and billed at checkout, and the guides were friendly and informative. The accommodation was super comfortable, air conditioned and clean. The spa treatments were a lovely bonus! Being part of the family friendly long beach community was great, in order to not feel so isolated and exclusive, and provide access to fire shows, shops, bars and restaurants along the beach, without it ever becoming noisy or rowdy. The entirety of the lovely staff were always friendly, helpful and chatty, making our stay exceptionally great.

We had a wonderful stay at Bubu Village Hotel! The staff were extremely attentive, fulfilling our requests within minutes, and the reception followed up diligently. A special mention goes to Nasser and Vaka. Nasser delighted us with an exceptional orange juice, while Vaka made the best omelette in the world. Their deep kindness touched us, and we looked forward to seeing them each morning to start our day in the best possible way. Thank you again for this unforgettable journey - we will gladly return as soon as we have the opportunity!

The private room is a real advantage! And the private garden too! Very close to anything and clean!! The staff was soooooooo nice and always ready to help! The BuBu Villa offers many private services like scuba diving and taxi boat only for their guest which is very comfortable! The food at the hotel was awesome: breakfast, lunch and dinner, anytime! The complementary services were also awesome! I will definitely come back!!

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.
