We arrived early. They even give us an early check in whenever the rooms are ready. Our room doors is stuck. They replaced the door straight away. They send all our luggage and stuff to our room. Staff are friendly. Like the surroundings, hammock and the view.

The staff are very friendly and helpful with everything. We had 2 bookings due to the availability of the rooms and they help us to check out and check in very fast. The transfer provided from/to Kota Bharu airport is great. Good restaurant and diving center, although the restaurant is a bit pricey and very crowded during dinner time.

- Jetty right in front of the hotel made arrival and leaving a breeze - Awesome staff from reception to servers to housekeeping - Best restaurant on that side of the island - variety and very decent price - Chalets were comfortable with two queen beds and shower and a line outside to dry your wet clothes (very useful) - Hotel booked us ferry travel, and when we left, we asked for a private shared van from Kuala Besut to Kohta Baru airport and they booked that for us too.

That's no TV channel, not even a local channel example RTM3, NTV9.
It locates on the stretch of beach with less population. Maxis and Unifi are available. Despite both are 3G, I can watch movies.

I should've stayed longer.
Staff at reception were always happy and smiling. Such a pleasant atmosphere. Restaurant staff were great too. I read reviews that the restaurants next door were better and cheaper, but after trying three of them out, I always preferred The Barat, and ended up eating all my meals there. Yes, you pay a little bit more, but the food and service are far better. Dive crew were very knowledgeable and professional for my 2 fun dives. Snorkel crew were great. Ended up doing 3 boat trips to various places, flooding my Facebook with tons of photos.

The bed and pillows are terrible. In 2 nights, we had 5 power trips that we had to walk to the reception to get someone to fix. It was very inconvenient and frustrating especially while we're asleep.
Not much, food is good but very pricey.

The room that we stayed in was quite basic. But is still has everything you need: air conditioning, fan, bathroom etc.
We would definitely recommend this place! It’s on the bigger island. We stayed here for 5 days. The location is perfect. A really nice beach is at 5-10 min walking distance (we saw sharks, turtles and a lot of fishes there)! There are some diving and snorkeling tours available at the Barat. I recommend the snorkeling tour B (to the small islands), it was really nice. The food here is amazing! There aren’t many restaurants on the island, but this was also the most recommended place. The rooms were quite basic but got everything you need. The staff was really nice and helpful.

“Huge disappointment on this trip”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
*this is my second trip to the barat and this current review is as conparative to my first visit in april 1. Your waiter for this current employment (one guy) was so rude... it masked all of the other nice waitress 2. 2nd visit to your dive centre was so much of disappointment.. not welcoming, not helpful and maybe because im a malaysian who brings ringgit rather than dollars or euro? Very2 disappointed 3. Room was infested with red ants in the toilet and right side of bed which i got bitten in the night but it was rectified by the housekeeping only for a while where the ants came back after tht , my aircond was a waterfall in the middle of the night on my first night there pouring on the tv and it was hot.. rectified by mechanic after tht and ok the next night
Nice location, reception was so good to us,good food (tad bit expensive but worth it)

“Snorkel in the aqua sea.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 3 nights
Employees witnessed throwing cigarette butts and rubbish into the water was disappointing. We paid additional to upgrade to different room, initial was very musty/mouldy and uninviting. New room smelt better but very small and with various broken items - cost significantly higher than previous very nice properties we had stayed at on the mainland.
Snorkelling close by, however obvious coral death, lack of large predatory fish and occasional rubbish had a negative effect on the experience. Great mask and snorkel to hire. Reception and wait staff attentive and friendly. We took a water taxi across to the village for great affordable street food and yum coconut shakes.

Cannot swim in front of resort due to many dead coral, afraid it will hurt your foot unless you wear slipper The food is pricey and we dont have other choice better to bring your jajan from mainland No any activity at night except spending at restaurant for dinner/ BBQ The room sometime blackout itself but luckily the staff turn on the electricity. So every time need ON the aircond
The location is strategic not to open sea The relaxing facilities (chair, table) is plenty The jetty for boat transfer its ok but bit far to walk through

The foods taste are bad. Mee goreng mamak taste good, but the maggi goreng tastes sucks & aglio olio tastes burnt. When we ask the cashier about the taste, they answered “this is how the foreigners like”. Are you kidding me? This is Malaysia, it should taste like a Malaysian food. A simple dish took time too long, even its not a peak hours.
We arrived early. They even give us an early check in whenever the rooms are ready. Our room doors is stuck. They replaced the door straight away. They send all our luggage and stuff to our room. Staff are friendly. Like the surroundings, hammock and the view.

About the resort: nearly nothing to complain. Some rooms are noisier than others and sometimes you have smells from nearby fires. But that’s to be expected on a tropical islands. What bothered us the most: the lack of respect by some tourists for the staff and the nature. If you go snorkeling/swimming please do not litter, do not touch the corals (or even step on them) and do not touch fishes or turtles. This has nothing to do with the hotel, though.
The staff was impeccable: always friendly and helpful. The rooms are small yet well equipped. Note that most accommodations on the Perhentian islands are rather basic, so is this. Snorkeling and diving trips can be organized directly through the resort. A bit more expensive than other providers but worth the price. When we did the snorkeling tour, there was only one other family on our boat. Much better than the boats with 20+ people racing between spots.
