Resort Perhentian Island Resort

Beach. This property is either next to the beach or will have its own private access.

Resort Office, Pulau Perhentian Besar, Daerah Besut,22200 Kuala Besut, 50250 Perhentian Islands, Malaysia –

The location is great and the beach is big and very nice for swimming and snorkeling,boats have their specific area for parking and moving away from swimming people which is great

Michael, Egypt

Breakfast was good and the nature around resort (there are several monitor lizards living nearby the pool!)

Andrey, Malaysia

Location is over the top. When you picture perfect island with the perfect beach in your head and than you see it in reality. White sand, turquoise sea, colorful fishes...

Vanja, Croatia

Meals might offer more local fruits, vegetables and preparation. Always friendly and helpful staff

Hands down best beach on the island. Perfect place to go on a family get away. The resort is very peaceful! We got the ocean front villa and we truly enjoyed it. We got to see monkeys and flying squirrels. The staff was very nice and always went the extra mile to help out. We were always greeted with a warm felt smile! We loved it so much we ended up extending our stay. We will definitely be returning!

Prior to our arrival, I sent as email enquiring about the property rooms and got an email.bavk saying the management were on holiday and no one could actually step in!! Breakfast was very poor, food heaters didn't work, there was very little variety and the coffee was very poor. We came back one night from long beach and had no water. When we asked the girl at reception , she jokingly said we should drink the rain water. It later turned out that the water dispensers in the restaurant had water but we found that out ourselves ! Staff made mistakes with our bill at the end and made it so difficult to sort Our air-conditioning did not work well and when my partner wanted to speak to the manager , we were told they were on holiday and won't be back till after we checked out. No one could help !!
The beach on the right side had some great coral and even sharks, the snorkelling masks and live vests worked well and were very reasoably priced. Some wild life like huge monitor lizards and squirrels kept us entertained and the jungle walk from the hotel was very interesting .

The resort doesn't include snorkelling in their package. For the price they take, they should include snorkelling. Most of the other resorts offer snorkelling.
The breakfast was good. The location was nice however you have to take sea taxi if you want to travel to the other islands where there is more night life. The beach is less crowded as the resort has it's own private beach.

“Bad, patronizing and poor management ”

1) I had called the hotel 30days prior my booking and requsted for a beach facing room and i was promised I'll get it. We reached and they said its not. Issue is when you make a promise, keep it 2) We got garden facing room. It was raining the day we reached and at night our room was filled with insects and moths and then each time we stepped out of our room we saw atleast 2 iguanas. Now to many it might seem normal but, not everyone is familiar with them. It was terrorizing us for days. The staff took this extremely litely. 3) Our room had 3 lizards which use to make sounds at night, imagine 3 together. When i complained about it, i was told how lucky we were and how expensive toke are. That was not my point! 4) We stayed for 4 nights, our package included breakfast. We eat the same breakfast for 5 days. Not kidding.. 5) We were told that there was a bbq buffet and is a must try, we did and it was beyond disappointing. Chewy meat, prawns which were not deveined and chicken over done. 6) There road to our rooms was dark. Pitch dark. Imagine walking on a pitch dark road to your room and you know there are at least 3-4 hugeee iguanas around. 7) Our AC was leaking. So at night if we were lucky enough to fall asleep there was ie cold water dripping over our head. When complained they took 2 days to get maintaince team to get the job done. 8) The rules seem to change since an year. Alcohol was never served but drinking your own alcohol was. Suddenly they have restricted guests from drinking in their restaurant. Thats a bad choice. All in all this stay has been extremely disappointing. Just an year ago we visited the resort and the service was exemplary. There use to be a head chef eveytime at the breakfast buffet who use to ask for suggestions and actually change the menu accordingly. The staff takes everything litely and are actually at time patronizing. I'm no sure what changed so dramatically in an year but they definitely are not doing things the right way.
The house keeping staff did an amazing job when we told them about the lizards. The font desk dint take us seriously so we told the house keeping staff and they helped us alot without being judgmental and patronizing. Thank you guys !

Food was poor quality and choice. But there are excellent places to eat a short walk away. The resort had a no alcohol policy which was not highlighted when we booked, again the resorts around the corner can fix this for you! You had to pay extra for everything such as kayak hire, however snorkelling trip was very reasonably priced. Not deal breakers as the beach was so spectacular.
Excellent location and beach, perfect for spotting turtles, snorkelling and swimming. Good sized room with a balcony.

The breakfast looked awful. It wasn't good. The dining room looked dirty. There was a rat literally jumping on the food. There were bedbugs in the chalet. The chalet itself had terribly looking walls. It needed renovation. Overpriced and annoying if you think what quality of service you get for the same price in other places. The beach kiosk opened at random hours. One day it was at 11 another day at 12 with expensive soft drinks in comparison to other parts of the island. There is a construction site next to the chalets.
The location. In my opinion it's the most beautiful beach on the island. Quiet and clean. There is a turtle point near by. Sharks and many other fishes in the water. Water sports facilities such as life jacket rental which is very useful if you want to snorkel a lot. You can do a discovery dive with a nice, professional instructor. The staff were in general very nice and helpful. The place is a jungle with monkeys, flying foxes and monitor lizards. Wonderful!

We came here as it should be the best resort in perhentian besar, Rooms are not clean,so dated and looks like they built it in the 90s and never renovated it. Some more expensive rooms are renovated but our deluxe heaven room is not,there were cockroaches in the bathroom ,lamps are dirty with spider webs on it, walls are woden and u can see the layers of dirt and dust on them, shower is broken and taped ,it was barely working. The worst part is that they don't clean after the guests are checking out. The huts we we're in is like 2 rooms next to each other so u can hear everything and 2 times guests next door we're checking out the staff came only for 5 min. The toilet looks like it wasn't cleaned for months. It's disgusting. We had breakfast which was the worst breakfast I've had in any resort in any country,didn't risk trying lunch and dinner d trying that breakfast which is included in the rate,so there are good restaurants close like the barat resort restaurant. Wifi barely works it just keeps disconnecting every 5 minutes,only 1 electricity plus other than the minibar 1,should be for kettle and rooms here doesn't have TVs ,when I asked about a converter or usb outlet for my European phone charger they said I have to buy from the gift shop which is 25RM for a cheap converter,price of 57$ per night is rea
The location is great and the beach is big and very nice for swimming and snorkeling,boats have their specific area for parking and moving away from swimming people which is great
