Breakfast
Visitors to Perhentian Nemo Chalet should plan ahead for breakfast as the establishment does not provide this service. Guests need to explore options outside the chalet, such as nearby restaurants, for meals. Alternatives include taking a taxi boat to Aluna Resort for breakfast and dinner experiences. However, it's noteworthy that the chalet's café, which could serve as a convenient spot for guests, remains closed, adding a layer of inconvenience for those hoping to start their day on-site. For a hassle-free morning meal, guests should anticipate making additional arrangements.

Beds
At Perhentian Nemo Chalet, guests have shared mixed experiences regarding the beds. Many visitors found solace in the comfort of certain beds, describing them as super comfortable and a welcome retreat. However, the overall feedback suggests a journey of varied bed quality. While some appreciated the good bedding and comfortable mattresses, others pointed out challenges such as hard and uncomfortable beds and worn-out mattresses. A particular concern among guests was with the condition of some bedding, mentioning issues like broken beds and pillows in poor condition. Despite these varying experiences, the availability of a hairdryer upon request is a useful service to note for those planning their stay.
Cleanliness
Perhentian Nemo Chalet offers a mixed bag when it comes to cleanliness. Many guests have appreciated the chalets for being super clean and well-maintained, with rooms that are tidy and smell fantastic. The spacious and clean nature of both the rooms and bathrooms has been positively noted. The chalet itself is described as clean, and the beach and sea nearby are also appreciated for their cleanliness. However, there are concerns that detract from these positives. Some guests have highlighted areas needing improvement, such as the underwhelming cleanliness beneath beds and in bathrooms, which are considered basic with some lacking shower gel or shampoo. The surrounding beach and village areas also fall short in terms of cleanliness. A recurring theme is the need for renovation in both the rooms and bathrooms, which could significantly enhance the guest experience. While the location is excellent for those seeking peace and quiet, a consistent cleaning routine would help elevate the overall experience.
