Suhaila Palace: what to confirm

Suhaila Palace is a place to stay at Tuna Bay on Pulau Perhentian Besar. Our notes describe it as mid-budget, but we found no official page. Room types, meal plans and season dates are not confirmed, so those are questions for the resort.

This page keeps what we know apart from what you still need to ask. Read it with the Perhentian Besar island guide and our island trip cost calculator when a quotation arrives.

What do we know about Suhaila Palace?

Suhaila Palace is placed at Tuna Bay, and our notes describe it as mid-budget. That description comes from a short listing, so check it against the written quotation you receive.

Cozy Chalet sits at the north end of the same bay, where a jungle path starts towards Teluk Pauh. That helps you picture the bay, but ask the resort how close its own rooms are to the beach.

Guests cross from Kuala Besut, and the crossing is reported as about 35 to 45 minutes ^[1]. We found no confirmed room types or child rules.

Who might it suit?

It may suit you if you want a mid-budget stay on a bay and plan to compare two or three quotations before you decide. A shorter stay can make a mid-budget rate easier to manage.

A resort with a clear official page may be a better fit if you want to read room details first. The Suhaila Palace vs Cozy Chalet comparison places it beside its nearest neighbour.

How do you get there?

From Kuala Besut jetty the speedboat takes about 35 to 45 minutes, according to a ferry route listing ^[1]. Ask which beach the boat drops you at, and how far you walk to the room with your luggage.

Read the Kuala Besut jetty guide before you plan flights or a drive, and build your day backwards from the boat time.

Details to confirm before booking

Put these questions to the resort or your agent, and save every reply in writing.

• Which room types are available, and do they have air conditioning and a private bathroom?
• What does the quotation call mid-budget, and which items are extra?
• Are snorkelling trips or island hopping included, or booked separately?
• What meals does the rate cover on each night, and on the days you arrive and leave? Are tea breaks, snacks and drinks charged on top?
• Which boat do you take, is the return trip priced in, and who do you call if the departure changes?
• Ask whether park fees are already paid in the package or collected at the jetty, and what the current amounts are.
• What are the child, infant and senior rules and rates, and how is the booking handled if the boat cannot sail?

When does it close?

Most east-coast resorts close during the northeast monsoon, roughly November to February or March. Exact dates vary by resort and year ^[2]. We have no confirmed dates for Suhaila Palace, so please ask for them in writing.

The Perhentian season guide lays out how this changes through the year.

How can you compare it with its neighbours?

The Cozy Chalet resort page lists what we confirm about its neighbour at the north end of the bay. Our Perhentian package inclusions guide shows what a Perhentian quotation usually includes.
