눉Food ok but short stroll round the bay to more options. Certainly it is grand for breakfast. Omelettes are great! A few ants in bathroom but no big deal and quickly sorted by the management.
눇The beach is stunning with the incredible privilege of a few turtles who swim and feed regularly in the little.bay - made for fantastic snorkeling. Deck chairs/beds have mattresses and towels. Very luxurious! Air conditioning and plenty of water a real treat. We stayed in the garden premier and I felt the accommodation was good.

“If you don't get one of the new bungalows, it's not worth the money”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Deluxe Heaven Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉Most of the bungalows are not rebuilt so they're quite old, there was lots of ants in the bath tub. The food wasn't too good, and to get a beer you have to walk 15 min to the other beach, which wasn't written anywhere in the website. Wifi only in the lobby and it's really slow.
눇The beach was beautiful and not so crowded. They bring your bags from the pier to the front desk. Beds and AC are quite good.

눉Food. Breakfast fair, need another worker manning the egg station. Ate all of our meals at the Barat (other hotel). Pool table unusable. A bit pricey for Indonesia (spa, etc.).
눇Nice room, nice staff, comfy "real" bed. Can't say enough about the water. Clear, perfect, sea turtles, amazing snorkeling. Monkeys, monitors lizards, awesome. Great milkshakes. :) Location location location!

“Amazing place but do not get a water taxi at night-near death experience!”

눉The one and only thing I really wish we had been warned about was getting a boat to another island in the evening. We got a small water taxi to coral bay one evening-the sun was shining and the water v.calm. We paid 20mr and had a lovely meal. What we were not prepared for was the weather changing (it rained for about 15mins an hour before we set off back to the resort) and the journey back...when we got on the boat in coral bay it was pitch black but looked calm so we thought it was fine. I do not exaggerate when I say I genuienly feared for my life...it took 40mins to do a journey that took us 8 to get there, we were thrown around all over the place, 2m waves crashed on top of us, we were holding each other tightly and questioning our plan of action if the boat sank (it took on a lot of water) or we got thrown out (the guy driving the boat asked if we could swim and although I competitively race 10km in open water I was questioning if I could survive in the conditions) we were soaked through to our underwear (which was genuinely the least of my worries)...we did make it back to the resort and I burst in to tears...I struggled to get over the experience the rest of the holiday. We noticed the weather turned like this most nights and we just wish we had been told/warned and we would never have risked it...
눇Amazing resort in paradise! The sea was really clear-we swam with turtles just off the beach on two of the four days that we were there. Room was comfy and cleaned every day. Good choice of food at breakfast but it's also worth knowing there are quite a few other options if you go over the bridge towards the other resorts/hotels.

“Fantastic - we didn't want to leave!”

눉The restaurant lacked any ambience at all and really lets down what is otherwise a fantastic resort. However, having had one dinner in the restaurant on our first night, we decided to eat elsewhere on the other three nights and found great alternatives.
눇The beach is the best on the island - we snorkelled with turtles just off the beach on our last day which was very special. All the staff were amazingly helpful and the facilities and layout of the resort were great.

“Lovely hotel with tourtels”

눇It were lovely 4 days in Perhentian island resort. Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful, explain everything nicely. Hotel is clean, room not very new, but for staying on the island good. Shower room is small, but if u stay like a couple (without children) it's enough. There were few ants in the room, even in bed. Beaches just amazing, actually we booked this hotel for good snorkeling right on the beach, and got what we expected! Sand is white, clean (except some sand flees). The only thing hotel is missing nice beach chairs (beds), it's never enough! Beautiful fish and corals in front of our room. Lovely tourtels in front in the water! In the morning beach full of boats with tourists, but after 1pm they leave and u can swim with turtles alone! In the evening baby sharks (not dangerous) and stingrays in shallow water. Food was not very good, poor choise. So luckily we had only breakfast. For dinner we went to lovely Barbat restaurant next door.

“Great Location, poor service”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Deluxe Heaven Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 5 nights
눉If you can accept that the location is perfect and ignore the negative points, then I would still recommend Perhentian Island Resort. Initially we were disappointed because we expected perfect service, but this is not the case. The room is clean, but the service was very poor. Only if you saw the cleaners could you ask for new coffee, shampoo etc. If not you came home to find the beds had been made, the towels changed, the floor swept but nothing else done. Toilet roll we almost ran out of. They did not replace a near empty toilet roll, luckily we had 2 rooms so we could steal one from the other room. We asked and reminded but this was to no avail. The food is bad. Hard to understand why, in a country with such food pedigree, they cannot serve a good buffet. We had breakfast included in our package. We tolerated breakfast but never ate anything else there. Many complained and criticised though. Breakfast service personnel stood around, watching but never checked if the butter / fruits / toast had run out. You had to ask and remind them. Then they were friendly and did what they had to do. Otherwise they just stood and did nothing. Somehow they seem to think that loud radio music at breakfast is requested by the customers. Asked to turn it off each morning. The radio seemed to be for the benefit of the service personnel who were standing around doing nothing. The WiFi. Just forget about it. Only available in reception. Incredibly slow. Unless you are there by yourself at 22:00 then don't bother trying to do anything. I said in the first sentence the location is perfect. The hotel has a full deck overlooking the beach but does almost nothing with it. A few cans of drinks, a menu which they don't have anything left on. To eat anywhere in the hotel you need to be appropriately dressed, which means you cannot go from the beach and eat or drink something. You have to change. Not so convenient if you want a beach day.
눇The location is perfect, the beach is the best from the ones we saw. The Dive Center is very good on this beach, but have no comparison to others. The transfer to and from the hotel from the main land were faultless. The chalets on the beach front are definitely worth paying the extra money for.
