The location is convenient to the Dive Shop which is practically on the same grounds. I stayed in cottage 110 and 112 garden side. Both very basic and served the purpose of affordable accommodation. 110 had more water pressure and a bucket, as well as some nails on the walls to hang things. 112 was in overall better shape, but...

Stayed in a Sea View Family chalet. Pre-booked with no hassle at all over the phone / email. They have an office on the mainland who do the bookings. Room clean (sheets, pillows, mattresses, towels all good), 2 double beds (for 4 of us), bathroom clean, aircon, fans, etc. Wardrobe, chairs, dressing table. Nice 'smelly' contraption in room which 'puffed... More

A very good budget option on Besar. Rooms with AC or fan, sea view or cheaper options behind sea view bungalows. Good food, cheap, although no alcohol, but no worry 5 minutes walk is a place they serve cold Tiger beer. Every night a fresh BBQ is prepared. There is a wide variety of beaches, great scuba diving place plus... More

Stayed here last July. Booked a family chalet coz that's all they had that was on the beach which we wanted rather than further in. Price was decent for that humble but large room; we weren't planning to go backpacker style, we wanted to be comfortable enough to enjoy the entire stay without bugs and crawlies haha. Price was also... More

One of the few budget option on Besar. I initially wanted to stay around Tuna Bay. But Mama turn out to be at a much better location. Around Mama hotels are not packed on a small beach, but spread evenly on a long beach. Snorkeling spot and nice white sand beach in front of PRI are a mere 5 minutes... More

Another one of the popular places to eat on the island. We found the quality of the food and the pricing to be good. From the appetizers to the entree to dessert, we enjoyed it all and came back on a couple of occasions (although it was often crowded). The service was good but not exactly clear on the process....

I stay here for 3-4 days. The service here was very poor especially at their restaurant @ cafe. I wait for almost 1 hour but no one comes to serve me. For the second day, I came and sit, then a waiter gives me the menu. After I made my decision of food, I called them but suddenly they saif... More

In contrast to many other of the medium-priced Perhentian resorts, Mama's doesn't seem to have raised their prices much over the years I've been coming here. Aziz gave me the last room in the place (I was a refugee from watercolours next door, great restaurant; awful rooms). I was so happy to get a room on the beach, and it... More
