What is Travellers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
BuBu Long Beach Resort stands out from the crowd for a number of reasons. The Resort has 38 hotel-style rooms, most with their own balcony and all with en suite bathrooms. Our Deluxe Rooms, located on the first and second floors, come with either a sea view or a side sea view – so you can look right out onto Long Beach and the clear blue South China Sea beyond. Our slightly larger Garden Rooms on the ground floor can accommodate up to three persons (ideal for families). For larger families or groups, our Deluxe Garden Rooms offer two double beds for up to four adults or children. All Garden Rooms have direct access to the garden area of the resort, right outside your window, with easy access to the restaurants, other resort facilities and of course the beach. Established since 2001.

Ross guided us to the best snorkeling places I have ever seen. I saw more fish than with diving (have an Open Water with PADI and SSI and did some trips in Europe and Thailand). We explained a lot and even showed us his favorite pet.. the moraine.

Very poor quality price, for a basic hotel, super expensive. Quadruple rooms are very small to the point you cannot find space for your luggages. The bathroom smells bad and the shower has a lot of moistures. The beach is public and adjacent to the port jetty with a lot of trafic. The hotel is not quiet at all. The positive point is the island. Kecil is a little paradise with great beaches and many points for snorkelling.

We absolutely loved our 3 night stay at Bubu resort. You are equipped with all you need, we had a premier deluxe room with a view of the ocean. The resort has day beds and it’s a few steps into one of the nicest beaches with white sands and clear blue water. I ate many meals at Santai restaurant because the food was amazing. The service throughout the resort tops it all off for a wonderful stay. The spa treatment was super relaxing. I highly recommend Bubu for a stay in Malaysia, it’s a way to really relax. We booked our boat transfers with the resort and it’s really hassle free and all well organized. Thanks to the team at Bubu for an amazing stay on the Perhentian islands

Positives: Location, the rooms, the complimentary cocktails, the A/C, French female receptionist, Pakistan waiter, the main Barista Negatives: Unstable wifi in garden villas, expensive, no vibe/activities or anything to help meet other guests NOW. To the main reason for this review. In my 17 years of global travel, visiting 52 countries, I’ve never ever ever met someone so rude as the male Indian receptionist. His front desk is disorganised chaos with papers abs receipts everywhere. He won’t smile. He won’t make eye contact. Nor any communication or human skills. He sneaks away to smoke his vape. When we mentioned our wifi wasn’t working he just said “someone will come” and then walked away and never returned or explained what was happening (whilst we awkwardly stood around waiting at reception for 15 minutes). We booked dinner at 6pm, but no one set up our table or greeted us with menu’s until 6:40pm. Because the Indian guy didn’t record our booking into the booking sheet. All of this and no apology. You can’t have this man at the customer face of your resort. He is not fit for a customer serving role. He’s damaged the BuBu brand/image and due to this one man alone, we won’t be returning. It’s a real shame as the rooms were really luxurious. Get rid of him! …

What we liked: nice and helpful staff. Comfortable sun beds front sea. Very appreciated the free drink at 4-6PM every day. Very big shower in the bathroom. What could be improved: for the high asking price of a room, the quality is not so good. Rooms are very basic (don’t even have TV) and lack of nice details. Service room left us empty bottles in the rooms instead of throwing them away. Breakfast service is very slow, there is just one barman which has to prepare both coffee and juice for all the guests, while to speed up the service it would be nice to have also someone to bring you coffee/tea/juice at the table instead of having to que and wait up. It’s a pity that air conditioning and lights are always turned on (when they clean up the room they leave everything on) and there is no suggestion to the guests to save energy / water. It could be improved a stronger “green” and sustainable culture. Given the very high price we paid, we expected a free taxi boat for the Resort guests from/for Kuala Besut Jetty to Bubu but it was available only for charge (higher price than local taxi boat…) Overall, they manage a very nice place and could really transform it in a Luxury place just putting more attention to details.…

Very good stay at Bubu Resort. We stayed 4 nights and had nearly all our meals at the Santai Restaurant which has good choices. Prices are a bit inflated compared to the rest of the island but we always had good service and good food. Nice breakfast included and cocktail hour every day. We had a room on the top floor with a nice view. We didn’t do any of the snorkelling activities through the resort as they are about 50% more expensive than just a few meters down but I could hear they give really good briefings for the snorkelling and life jackets so I am sure they would have been good. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend!

I put 2 stars only because of the free cocktails during the stay… The service was poor and disorganised for all our stay, room wasn’t cleaned for 3 days in a row even though I’ve put the sign… I’ve been to many resorts but never experienced this. The sunbeds are always full by non-visitors of the hotel and when I brought up the problem to the reception the response was: “Yes sir you can go tell them”…. In addition to it in the morning (after 10AM) there are never new towels! The beach is presented like a paradise but when you arrive you will be greeted by 20+ boats near the beach at less than 5 meters from you, a Cargo ship infront of everything and a guy that goes back and forth with his 1900’s tractor that emits more smoke than a burned stake on the grill. I even payed for a “Deluxe” room that was super small! I can’t image how the small rooms are!! Overall the structure is managed by people that from my point of view never worked in this business, for example during the cocktail hours I had to wait a very long time only to order while every other guest was served on time. The guy taking the orders didn’t even know what was on the menu and refused my order thinking that it wasn’t possible to make, and as I said before the cleaning was outrageous. The towels were never changed but only re-put on the holder, without changing them with new ones. The only one from the crew that knew how to work was the guy making coffee and drinks in the morning. My stay was luckily saved by the amazing restaurants OUTSIDE the resort, without them it would have been a complete waste of money!…
