I was highly unimpressed with the dangerous steps they have leading from the adjacent dive school to the toilets. A friend of mine took a bad fall. All this could have been avoided if the hotel had the sense to keep the door leading to the toilets unlocked. For some reason, they felt the need to bolt the easy access... More

It was such a pleasant unforgettable experience staying at Shari La Island Resort on Coral Bay which had a superb location, by the jetty on Perhentian Islands. The chalets are carefully arranged under the large canopy of trees and one of the few places that provided 24 hours electricity, hot water shower and air conditioner. Their staff was very friendly...

The Perhentian Islands are a beautiful set of Islands off the East coast of Malaysia. However, for better and worse, they have not been developed to the level of other islands in South East Asia. Shari La was one of the only reasonably priced accommodations that provided 24 hour electricity, hot water and air conditioner. And these features are important... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, the accommodation was great value and we had everything we wanted in a honeymoon destination. Unfortunately the dinner food service was painfully slow, except for the bbq, but the breakfast was so bad that we ignored our free breakfast and paid to eat elsewhere! Who wants ants in their cereal?!

Very disappointed with my stay here. Stayed I a dorm room. Trash was abundant in the room and overflowing from my locker. Staff did not respond to problem when I brought it to their attention. Bathrooms were filthy. Toilets had no seat and no toilet paper. Just gross. Stay somewhere else, this place was a miss

The room was a little far away from the reception but staff was friendly. Room for 3 ppl for 210RM was a little expensive. wlan at reception area only with a weak connection strength. Enjoyed the stay. On Long Beach the standard is way lower.

I stayed at Shari-La Island Resort for 4 nights, 4th to 8th March. Shari-La Island Resort looks idyllic but the rooms were disappointing considering the price. The toilet was small and the shower was often cold. Given the number of mosquitoes on the island the rooms should, at the very least, have been fitted with filters on the windows and... More

We arrived at the island during national holidays and could not find any budget place to stay. All the little huts near the beach were booked-up and for some reason we went to check this 'most expensive' place around Coral Bay. Surprisingly they had a dorm and some budget rooms for a price that was lower than any of those... More

For the price the rooms are below my expectations. After 3 months in Se Asia this place for the price was a big disappointment. The staff are uninterested in helping you beyond talking your money at check in. The Internet averaged 2-5 kb/s. The resorts grounds were a highlight of the island. The rest of the island was littered with... More
