This was the first time I've stayed at Abdul's Chalet although I've been to Perhentian Islands 5 times. We took the last room available (Triple Family Room) and although it was located on the upper floor, it was OK. Huge room and bathroom, very good shower pressure and hot water. No complaints at all. The restaurant serves very good food and it's really the cheapest in that stretch. We ate all our meals there. The staff are excellent and friendly. Special shout out to the coral reefs right in front of the chalet. The beach is superb with fine white sand but what's in the water is more amazing. My mom who is a first time visitor can't stop remarking on the crystal clear sea. While snorkeling, I saw a "cleaning station" just a few feet away from the water edge. Really couldn't believe my eyes! Went nearer to take a look but unfortunately, there was a titan trigger fish nearby (darn those bad tempered fish!). I will definitely choose Abdul's Chalet again.
The stay in ACh was indeed amazing. The locationas well as the chalets themselves create a wonderfully tropical ambiance and feel. When it comes to the quality of accommodation and the surroundings I missed absolutely nothing and I think the place really deserves 5 or even 6 stars but still, let me break it down into two parts anyway.
Pros
So as mentioned above - excellent location + accommodation
The chalets are equipped tastefully and are super clean
The bed is ultra comfy and I had wonderful sleep in them - I seriously felt rejuvenated after each night - falling asleep and waking up with the sound of waves that's something I can't get never enough of
Turquoise waters right in front of the chalets (sea view option)
Calmness and serenity
No annoying mosquitoes or other insects except for a few flies here and there
Fantastic weather
Good breakfast with plenty of coffee
Cons
A reading lamp wouldn't go amiss but okay, this can hardly make me complain much
Wi-Fi only available for a couple of hours - breakfast and dinner time
The fact that they say coconut has finished while they are surrounded by coconut palms is beyond me,but okay, you can get it elsewhere
Overall, I would like to definitely come back. I love this place and will seriously miss it. I actually didn't feel like leaving at all. Terima Kasih.
All the best and keep up the good work.
Ps: Get some strong, handsome pal from your team to collect a few coconuts. It really belongs to such a place:)
We spent 4 days 3 nights at Abdul's in search of some R&R and found it. Our beach front chalet was large, clean and comfortable. The beach has good shade from trees growing along the shore and the sea is beautiful. Plenty of fish to see just a few metres out. The food they serve is of generous size, but not some of the most refined, all tasty though.
We went on a snorkelling trip booked through Abdul's and we went to all the key snorkelling spots but so did everyone else so it was busy.
Abdul's has all the comforts (AC, 24 hour power, wifi) you could need but is also a great place to relax. The wifi did not work particularly well on iphone for some reason.
This place is a true jem. Location is brilliant, snorkeling just a few steps from your room if you take a sea view room. The restaurant is great. And the people from the hotel are really nice, friendly, helpful. We ended up eating only at Abdul's and booking all of our tours there. Enjoyed every minute of our stay. Hope to visit again soon.
If I do have to give some constructive suggestions how as to make the stay even more comfortable they might consider putting a bin in the room. Our sliding door needed fixing as it didn't completely close and the WiFi was down every night at random hours.
But these are no deal breakers for us to be honest. We would surely want to stay here again.
Love this place.
Modernised since we were there 20 years ago (hot water, aircon, 24 hour electricity, wifi!), but still maintains its low key character and affordability.
Stunning beach with a pontoon to jump off and great snorkelling off the beach.
Good restaurant with a few other eating options nearby.
Note: Abdul’s is dry, so if you need alcohol, bring it with you!
