“Could be better...”

- • Premier Beachfront Double or Twin Room

There is a problem with the room service - we had to ask for the cleaning twice. The sink in the bathroom was clogged, the maintenance team was not able to fix it and explained that "the pipes are old and stoned"... For lunch/diner you should visit restaurants in neighboring resorts - the local one is gloomy and expensive.
Comfortable bed, good location, beautiful beach, opportunities to snorkel, walks in the jungle, kayaks... Nice restaurants in neighboring resorts :-)

Mediocre food, both breakfast and a la carte. Worn out facilities, staff pretending to behave waaaay too official. For the price paid, even considering free room upgrade (end of season), disappointment was huge. Do not even consider rooms other than on waterfront- better look for other options on the island.
Beautiful beach, free room upgrade, clean water, impressive nature.

Nothing, everything is great.
I love this resort, located on the most beautiful beach of the island. If you go, choose the beachfront room: the view is amazing and you will sleep with the sound of the Ocean at night. The rooms are clean and well equipped. The staff is kind. Mus, from the Kuala Lumpur office, was very helpful in the booking process.

Bed was hard and very uncomfortable. Air conditioning unit outside was noisy. Room and bathroom were dirty and old. Not big enough for a family. Food was average and service was bad. Husband had to wait longer for his meal and drink order was wrong.
The beach was lovely and sea was warm and calm. Best beach on the island.

“Please do not stay here!”

Too bad to be true: big rats running on the dinning area and reception, cockroaches (living and dead) in the room, non-existent WiFi, some staff members are unprofessional and lazy (notably those who were supposed to assist you on the beach - it is usual to caught up them sleeping on the table during working hours). Cleanliness of the room was discusting. Restaurant stopped somewhere in the past - mouldy smell of the menu list, made our decision to have all our meals during our stay (5 nights) in other restaurants nearby (e.g., Barat). To go to the other restaurants, I recommend you to have a flashlight during the night. Completely overrated and overpriced hotel. Need an immediate and urgent refurshiment.
The beach, which is probably the best beach in Perhentian island. Nonetheless, please strongly consider to book any other hotel (even in other parts of the Island or in the other island) and spend the day at this beach. The cost that you will incur (e.g. taxi boats) will be insignificant when compared with the cost that you will pay/benefit that you willl get from this property.

Not what you pay for. The only good thing (and very good): the beach. The rest is just awful. Really mediocre resort. - Rooms really dated, falling apart and small. - Very very bad (or inexistent) facilities. - Stench from the toilet. - The restaurant is a joke: dirty, old, very bad food... even with plastic dishes! Guests have to go out of the “”“resort””” to get some decent food. - Wifi only in the reception. Really? - Neither bar nor alcohol in the resort. - Staff with no intention whatsoever of giving a good service. You may even have to set up your chair and umbrella in the beach (only if you reach the beach very early and there are still towels available).
The beach in front of the property is amazing.

“Nice but overpriced”
- • Leisure trip

- • Deluxe Heaven Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
We were told our room was recently renovated (Superior Room) and yet it was very very basic, not extremely clean. The A/C was making a terrible noise for the whole night but it was too hot not to leave it on. The window or the door would not shut completely, some space would let it in our room some bugs or cockroaches. For the price we paid (€140 per night) it was way overpriced. Food at the restaurant was not so great, better try other local restaurants in the area.
The hotel is located in a dream position, one of the most beautiful beaches on the Perenthian Islands.

Poor breakfast. Restaurant was not very good, we went out from Resort to have a lovely dinner. Common areas could have been treated better. We saw staff hanging around but not cleaning the area at all.
Clean and modern place. Comfortable beds. Daily cleaning. Very nice and professional staff. Extremely beautiful beach. WiFi worked well. We observed beautiful animals from our porch. Lot of choices to do - taxi and 2 trips in the Diving center. Would definitely stay there again.
