Where to start? Shari-La advertises that it has free wireless, but in reality, the wireless signal is extremely weak to the point of non-function whenever more than a couple people are trying to connect at a time--which is almost all the time. Forget about trying to use it between 8 and 10pm. When wireless wasn't working and we asked for... More

I booked 3 standard rooms for my friends and family who are not from Malaysia for 2 nights here with their family. I was skeptical about the room as from reading the reviews here deluxe are more worth it. But it's not that bad!! It's quite a small packed room, with a queen bed, 2 sofa near the door, 2... More

This is a fancy by the island standards. We stayed in the deluxe room. The room was clean but the toilet was very small. The shower was right opposite the closet so it ended up being wet all the time. Keep in mind that mosquitoes eat you up in this island. Over all, we had a comfortable trip. There are... More

I stayed in the Shari-La in March 2012, having been there twice earlier in 2010 - all three times in order to go scuba diving. The Shari-La is on Coral Bay, probably the best base for diving on the Perhentians, and is right next to one of the largest scuba dive centres. I stayed in one of the very cheap... More

We rented one of the budget rooms towards the end of February. The prices change depending on the season. While we were there, the prices of the budget rooms were as good as the other places that were open (only 3 other places were open). We had air-con, a fan and our own bathroom. We used the free wifi in... More

Stayed at the hotel and paid a fraction of the listed price due to off season. There was a special promotion till Mar 1st '2012 that's what the manager Mr. Rodhi told me. It was an average hotel with hotwater if you stayed on standard room and above. I found my room after meandering around the hotel pathway.I notice couple... More

Great as a last resort for a place to stay if you've got no where else to go to. Not worth the price. We had a semi chalet room furthest from the reception where we had to walk passed various chalets and this horrendous smell in the midst of the hotel compound which made me want to vomit. The bathroom... More

We stayed here for 4 nights and simply loved the place. We first stayed 2 nighs at Long beach but took a walk trough the jungle to the other side of the island and found this place. We asked to see the room and were surprised to find such a new and clean bungalows for such a decent price. This... More

Thr front office in the resort also very accomodating. As i recall the reception at that time call Suria. Locationwise the resort was perfect, only footsteps away from the... More
