You have to walk 25 minutes to Coral Bay to get more "action" which is easy doable. But the beach is not as nice and you have more Restaurants but the food is pretty much the same. Room is a bit run down.

I stayed at three different dorms on this island (also Coral Bay and Long Beach) and this was by far the best one. Staff friendly, beds really comfy, aircon, really easy to meet people, towls for showering and the beach, lown snorkling masks. Best beach I've been to on the island.

The shower could have been better. WiFi was spotty and unpredictable - but this is the Perhentian Islands in general.

Very friendly and welcoming staff. Food was good. Situated in a convenient location near Coral Bay.

Nothing But you couldn’t buy alcohol there but it was only a short walk to buy some Also you could take your own and they didn’t mind you drinking it there

Location was fantastic

Not much food options probably due to Raya holidays. The beach facilities (swing, hammock etc) need some upgrading and cleaning. Wifi not strong in rooms. Data has 4G, I am using Digi.

Location - Secluded and peaceful location, around 20 mins walk to long beach. There are several places for food within walking distance. Service - TIP TOP SERVICE !!! Very friendly, approachable staff and reasonable price of food. Customer service replies instantly on WhatsApp. You can trust them with your fun dive and PADI open diver course, very professional and attentive instructors. Rooms - No problem with electricity and water supply. Beds are new and clean. Floor sometimes sticky, overall cleanliness is acceptable.

Diving The private beach

The AC of the bedroom downstairs was very noisy, so it was difficult for us to sleep well.

Staff very nice, restaurant very nice, place very convenient

We waited over an over for our food and after complaining about it they brought us raw seafood from the barbecue which we returned to get back on it. So waited even longer. My burger wasn’t ready either.

I wanted to have a day to myself and do and meet nothing and no one. It was super calm there and relaxing. The trees helped to stay a bit in the shadow and it was a really nice vibe.

nothing much, we have to take a boat if we have to go other island and main party area. but that can be forgotten considering we get a private clean beach, isolated.

Compared to rooms in the mainland, room in this resort in a remote island is way better. Come with a mindset of visiting nature not to enjoy luxury.

Rooms could be cleaner (many insects), although it was acceptable.

Amazing location, quiet with a private beach. Restaurant was ok and the place had a small shop with suncream, drinks and snacks.

The Family Room was way too high up the stairs for our comfort, and one who needs help with stairs should opt for chalets(when available), and the Family rooms are high up. For the Scuba as we were a big group, we could not do much diving, and hence would recommend going in smaller groups. (Would have expected to have more instructors to have smaller groups for the dive).

A good property, expect what is described by the owner. The beach/cove is great for snorkeling and relaxing. Clean rooms and Bathrooms. You may bring in sand with you, so make sure you dust it off before you get into bed. Would highly recommend this place. We were a big group (10 Adults, 7 Children), and giving a heads-up to the restaurant, helped us to have timely service. Unlike other feedback I read here, we had a very good experience with them right from the start till the end. They helped us plan our snorkeling and scuba trip.

The bathroom set up was fine, but basic. It’s an island, important to being an island attitude and not be fussy.

Amazing location on what feels like a private beach. Totally different from the rest of the island, just a little chunk of utter paradise. Lovely family run resort with excellent food and helpful welcoming staff. No alcohol, but that is to be expected in Malaysia, and adds to the lovely quiet feel. Fret not for there is a cocktail bar 5mins walk away at the neighbouring resort. Air con worked well.

Really expensive for a dorm. Sometimes mosquitos in the dorm. Mosquito nets would help.

Super nice staff. Beautiful area.

They have only a few more chairs at the beach, there could be some more. Beside the area of the Chomel is litter (as on many places when walking on the island)...

The Chomel Chalet is located at a really nice beach in walking distance to Coral or Long beach. You can do snorkling at the beach (you see some fish and corals) but the also offer good snorkling trips. We liked our room close to the forrest. The food was good.

We really enjoyed our stay at Chomel Chalet, mainly because of its location and staff. The beach in front is practically private, with only hotel guests, it's beautiful and great for snorkeling. The food was also good and the staff very friendly. We are not giving ten stars because the hotel needs some maintenance/modernization, but we understand that this type of service is not easy to hire given the location.

Chomel Chalet is the best place to stay in the Perhentian Island We caught water taxis to other parts This was far the best Staff are wonderful Snorkeling was excellent straight out the front Of Chomel Chalet Loved it that much stayed a extra two days

The dorm room is a bit basic and the bathroom could do with a bit of TLC - but you’ll spend most your time out the room so it doesn’t make much of a difference.

The location is incredible - own private paradise beach! Staff are lovely and nothing is too much trouble. And the price is very competitive compared to alternatives on the island.

Hot water in the shower was broken but we got a discount on food to cover for that. Location is a bit too hidden (taxi boats to go there are expensive). There is no pier on the beach unlike in many other hotels in the Perhentian islands so getting on and off boats can be difficult. Lots of lizards and ants inside the rooms, rooms are a bit unclean but toilets are ok compared to other hotels in the area. The stairs to rooms were very slippery during/after rain. Only few sunbeds that were very hard, a few nice soft ones would be amazing. Breakfast is small.

Nice private beach but not the best one I’ve seen at the Perhentians. Food was ok, staff is very friendly.
