A basic cottage on the beach with a good veranda with great views. The beds are old but the room feels clean and its good for the purpose on the island. If you want luxury then choose something else. The people running it are sweet and the restaurant is good. Can recommend their snorkelling trip. More

The rooms at Maya are indeed nicer than other rooms in the price range on Coral Beach, however, even on the surface, I'm not certain that the glowing reviews here are warranted. The price is right, but the rooms weren't very clean. Please note that I am a backpacker, so I'm not one of the people on here expecting to... More

We had a wonderful stay at maya guesthouse, we stayed for 6 nights and wish it was longer. The rooms are basic (50 ringit a night) not sure how much the beach front ones are however, but our room had a sea view from our little balcony so we were happy. The beach is lovely right in front of the... More

It was a pleasure to stay at Maya's during my trip in the Perhentian Islands. The room was big, with bathroom inside, for just 40 RM a night ! Also the food was amazing, the best milkshake on the island ! We took a snorkeling trip twice, half a day, for only 35 RM. I recommend this place with all... More

A lovely stay here for 3 nights with a 40RM bungalow with views straight out onto the ocean. Nice staff, great food and well priced. Be aware that many of the bungalows/resorts in Perhentians ar Muslim owned, and not all of them will let you bring alcohol into their restaurants, let alone buy it there. There are other restaurants to... More

Stayed here for 5 nights in September. The bungalows are right on the beach and perfect if you want a quiet time to chill. They are basic but very clean (incl linen etc) Maya is in Coral Bay, which is the quiet side - if you want to party go to Long Beach. The food here is incredible, they have... More

After reading other trip-advisor reviews, we decided this was the place to stay in Coral Bay on Perhentian Kecil. Unfortunately, it was fully booked for the first 2 nights of our stay, so didn't get to stay here until the 3rd night, but it was worth it. The room was 50 RM (malaysian ringget) which fitted within our budget of... More

It's a decent place and cleaner than some of the other dumps on this island, but it should have a lower rating. The staff wasn't that helpful and the room we stayed in was infested with ants. Still, it could be worse... More

Having read the reviews we went to Maya. The rooms were pretty basic but the seafront chalet was ten feet from the water's edge at high tide. The staff were really friendly. The snorkelling trip (35MYR) was brilliant. The chalet was 100MYR. We actually chose not to stay here due to the lack of a safe and we went to... More
