Acceptable Accommodations Amazing Location

Stayed in renovated room. Nothing exciting about the rooms. Drab bathrooms. Food not worth talking unfortunately (even the local food is boring) about but plentiful. No alcohol allowed on premises but smoking is allowed everywhere. Wifi only at reception area. Pool seems to have under repairs for sometime.

Overall wonderful experience. My daughter picked going here again over other vacation in SE Asia. Just after booking the trip, my wife broke her ankle. The paths are not scooter friendly, but that was not a top priority when we were picking a vacation spot. She healed enough before we left that she was able to swim, and see her favorite animal, the sea turtles. Which was our top priority. Excellent local wildlife on land and in water. Very convenient snorkeling out your front door.

The resort and surroundings could be a bit cleaner. Food is average but there are a couple of other dining options a few minutes away. Land and boat transfer were poorly arranged by the reservation office but we managed to transfer by ourselves (very easy, lots of taxis and boats available at/from airport to jetty). The best part is the gorgeous beach with crystal clear waters…a dream come true!

The beach deserves 5+ stars - it is absolutely gorgeous. And people will keep going just for that. Staff is friendly and helpful. But the facilities, food, and service do not even vaguely match the level of quality the location (and price) deserve. The facilities were all quite dated and basic, which would be fine if at least some minor things were upgraded. A little attention to detail would go a long way to make this place heaven on earth! Rooms were basic but okay, with the main problem the front door that had a large gap underneath that animals could easily enter (full of mosquitoes). By the way, bring an adaptor or they’ll sell it to you for 5 times the price you’d pay on the mainland. 19 umbrellas and sets of beach chairs are not enough for a resort of over 100 rooms and nothing else to do but enjoy the sea; by 9 am there was none left (rude selfish people put their towels down at 9am to keep the chairs and came back mid-afternoon - they should not ve allowed and should be ashamed!). And by 11am not even beach towels were left! Garbage bags were left outside rooms overnight so animals stormed around digging in. Food was just not edible, despite the long menu. People migrated daily to resorts nearby for meals. That said, if you don’t mind overpaying for the lack of service, and still prioritize the quality of the beach, this resort remains a good option. Food aside, I doubt they’re much more refined in service elsewhere on the island.

Beautiful hotel grounds on a beautiful long beach.

We enjoyed our stay at PIR with it's beautiful long white beach fronting and forest backdrop. I especially enjoyed the watching the visiting dusky leaf monkeys munching leaves in the pretty garden in the mornings/evenings. The hotel room was a bit tired but the staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was pretty good. The restaurant food wasn't great but the hotel is within easy walking to some good restaurants on beaches nearby.

Great well maintained hotel on one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever visited. The room was great. Nicely appointed, large enough, beautiful bathroom with lots of hot water, and perfectly functioning AC. The breakfast buffet had a good variety. The lunch and dinner options that were not included were more expensive than other options outside the resort. The only thing that would make this place better would be the availability of alcoholic beverages. Would definitely recommend!

Great resort with beach so close, it’s paradise

What I love most about this resort is the closeness of my room to the beach. Pristine clear sea water, white powdery sands and the view to die for is very important to my beach holiday. The rooms could have been better serviced and cleaned, the restaurants could have done better with the food selection, but my first overall experience was nothing but praises to their friendly staffs. Everyone was all smiles and gave their best to all the customers.

A good resort with amazing private beach

Had an amazing time at PIR which is having it's own private beach with a brilliant view. I would surely recommend for people looking for a good break on a clear water, which sand beach. PIR staff was quite courteous and supporting through our four days of stay. While the conditions of the rooms, resort and other facilities were quite poor, but a lovely beach views compensates for all. Food is really not good, but smiling & professional staff members makes up for this gap. Break fast/lunch was disappointing, so ensure you have enough food packed with you for your stay. Arrangement for snorkeling, boating and transfer to jetty was very well managed.

Beautiful beach and surroundings!

The Reception staff couldn't be more helpful and give you lots of tips for getting around the island. This hotel is situated on the best beach in my opinion and its surroundings are beautiful. The rooms are built in the style of traditional Malay chalets, they're basic inside but comfortable. The only thing that lets this hotel down is the cleaning staff and the restaurant- eat elsewhere!!

Service absent. Vermin present. Location unbeatabl

Service absent. Vermin present. Location unbeatable. Upon arrival (we are return visitors), the bell boys just looked and smiled at us, while we were dragging our luggage along - a far cry from the times they come to pick you up at the boat! I am almost certain that the room was not booked the night before, judging not least by the damp smell - but it was not made available until official check-in time, just because that is the policy. Room service was sporadic at best - including removing full bin bags from bins - and then leaving them on the floor... when I asked for the possibility of late check-out, much as for check-in, I was given the rule book: possible, but at an exorbitant hourly rate... Vermin - still not sure if that was a squirrel or a rat rummaging through the room at night - I prefer to think it was a squirrel. As for the cockroach on the breakfast buffet, those, I recognise. Food was forgettable, as always - it seems like they have a competition to identify the person least able to cook eggs (!), who then staffs the egg station... Location is unbeatable, though, so one star for that.

Perfect, stunningly beautiful and relaxing setting! Amazing wildlife and peaceful landscape with spectacular beach and swimming! Snorkelling also convenient. Staff very friendly though respect for and sensitivity to turtles, especially during nesting season, should be improved through environmental education so as not to crowd so close and to refrain from touching and disturbing the mother turtle etc. Turtles are amazing creatures and the top attraction at this resort and eggs and turtles should be better protected from unscrupulous egg thieves.

twice the price but half as good as the rest

this is the second time we have been to the perhentians, which are stunning. this hotel, however is not. 1) it's twice the price, and half as good 2) blinds didn't work in room, didn't get fixed despite reporting it, meaning limited privacy and a 6am sunrise wake up cos of the light. the guy did come but couldn't fix it at that moment. then was never to be seen again. 2) bathroom smells of you can guess what. 3) light outside room stopped working, meaning a 5 minute fight trying to get the key in as when the power went off 4 times a day your phone didn't charge enough to use the torch. 4) the power went off 4 times a day 5) they didn't provide a torch despite asking 6) no umbrella, we didn't ask to be fair, but seems remiss not to put one in the room. 7) no tv or wifi. but don't expect any events to be organised. also no wifi means reception was always jammed with people checking emails, looks really quite bad. 8 the beach is great 9) the worst aspect. despite booking a return boat and land trip, they booked a one way land trip. this was discovered on check out. where their first instinct was to tell me why I was wrong. until I showed the email, then it was to say just get a taxi for more money, basically just dumping us at the Jetty. then they called up to arrange. which although stressful solved the problem they had created. they also made 20rm for their mistake, they profited from our stress. do not stay here, even for the beach.

Beautiful, comfortable, clean

The hotel was beautiful, old but we were in one of the newer rooms- the older ones didn't look so grand from the outside! The bed was comfy, room was clean, everything worked, lovely little deck, we really enjoyed out time. The tennis court is grown over with moss and the badminton court has no usable net, and I wouldn't swim in the pool but the beach and the volleyball are perfect! Hotel staff were okay, but the snorkelling tours that were promised by the hotel refused to take us out because there weren't enough people...so they sat around doing nothing instead. A little disappointing. The hotel food isn't great (at all) but a short walk over to Barat is worth it- would recommend the seafood BBQ! Keep in mind everything is expensive on the island, and PIR doesn't sell alcohol. Bring your own/buy from the store. Would definitely stay again!

Amazing location... But little else.

PIR undoubtedly had the best beach on the Besar Island. You could swim out to sea turtles, the water was clean, blue and calm and the sand was picture perfect. Most of the people on the island (and from Cecil) came to the beach in front of PIR because it was the best spot to be. However, that is its obit upside. Food was terrible (not much better on the island though except for the Thai food on the other side of the island), rooms were run down and not cleaned throughout our stay and the service was just average. A very minimal stay on a beautiful island and that's it. Can't beat the location but I would try another hotel next time considering everyone uses this beach anyway and it is very accessible. No need to stay here.

Lovely resort on a fabulous beach. Restaurant a little pricier than some nearby and not worth the extra money so we didn't eat here much. It's just a short walk over the bridge to get to 4 or 5 other resorts/restaurants so well worth doing, don't bother with the water taxis as they seem expensive but you'll need them to go to the furthest resorts. The snorkelling off the beach is amazing but I would absolutely recommend to do the 'special' snorkelling trip (50 RM per person) and you will see them most amazing coral and assortment of fish you can imagine - it is awesome!

The location is without a doubt the best on the island!! Crystal clear waters, beautiful coral, exciting fish, lush jungle and the simple life. You don't have to go anywhere except swim, dive,snorkel and get a tan. I also want to say a massive thanks to all the staff at the resort, they really do try to make your stay special and go out of their way to help every time!! My wife loved the surprise cake and card from all the staff, that was amazing and we really appreciate it! Our regards to all the staff!

Resort overall overpriced

The most beautiful beach on Perhentian Besar, quiet for families and couples, no parties, unless you are during the Ramadam there is plenty Muslim woman with children so its loud. We got update for 1st 2 nights to the beach view apartment, later we had a standard room booked as no other rooms were avail. We moved to other apartment which was lovely as it was more modern and all standard apartments are renovated so they are very nice. They were in 2nd row from the beach and near jungle and there was more animals you could see like lizards and monkeys with babies running on or below the apartments which is extra plus if you want to see some wildlife. Overall really clean and nice. Recommend diving centre in the resort as prices are lower than in the resort opposite and Susie and Vanessa staff are great instructors. Breakfast was ok - in general Malaysian food isn't great. Normally there are French fries or wedges, some noodles or pasta and variety of eggs. Internet doesn't work great in the reception or the rooms. Dinner buffet option very expensive so we glad we didn't buy full inclusive considering that food wasn't great. Its cheaper to go to the restaurants on the opposite beach or Perhentian Kecil for 1 day/afternoon as food is cheaper and there is better choice. Also internet works in these restaurants but speed on island is very slow.

Great location, terrible service

The one and only thing this resort has going for it is the wonderful location. With a private beach that is superb for snorkelling and swimming the location is excellent. The snorkelling is some of the best I've ever done. Unfortunately, this is the only good thing about the resort. The check-in was painfully slow (30 mins) only to find they gave us the wrong type of room. The restaurant is the worst thing about the resort, the service is slow and the food is terrible. The staff are young and untrained and don't seem to speak much English making communication very hard. If you want something decent to eat you have to cross the bridge over to the neighbouring beach and restaurants. The bridge, however, does not have lights so make sure to take a torch! Be aware that the resort and most of the neighbouring places do not serve alcohol, so don't expect a beer with your dinner! The rooms are very dark and dated, but overall were clean. The boat transfer from the jetty to the resort can be very rough and bumpy, be prepared if you get sea sick! I would not recommend this resort due to the poor service and quality of food, but the beach and snorkelling are a must see!! Such a shame that the owners of this resort cannot see what a gold mine they are sitting on and do something about it!

Great location with fantastic seaview

The location of the hotel is quite good with fantastic seaview. The turtle point is just outside the beach so that it is easy to look for the big turtle. Besides, the coral is very beautiful and lots of fish can be found. Besides, can join snorkelling trip to beautiful different points. Special snorkelling trip is recommened as it is very beautiful than normal trip. It is recommended not to have full board in the hotel as the food is not quite good. Luckily there are several hotels nearby so that we can try the food in other hotels. Furthermore, don't forget to have an half an hour walk jungle trekkling as the way will go to another beach which is very very beautiful. I love Perhentian island and i'm sure I will come back in another years.

Great Location, Comfortable Stay

This Hotel is located perfectly on the beach at Perhentian's Larger Island. It's right off the jetty and the Hotel staff will take the luggage for you as you get off your boat. We got there around 1 O'clock but found out that the check in time was 3. (That's how it is with most Hotels in Malaysia) So we decided to instead head straight into the emerald blue waters... Its a beautiful beach and the waves are gentle. We hired some Goggles and Masks from the Diving centre of the Hotel and snorkeled all day long. The Resort is built right around the thick forest on the Island and so one can see quite a bit of wild life within the Hotel premises. We managed to see Iguanas of various sizes, monkeys, and even a snake :) The Dive Center of the Hotel is quite good and the Staff are very friendly and warm. I'd recommend this Hotel for a good vacation.

Beautiful beach full of garbage!

Dirty area and rooms with little service, pricy low quality food, full of mosquitos bred in the dirty ponds behind the rooms. Exptremently unprofessional and useless staff. In the restautarant when you call the server then argue among themselves who should go to answer you. The staff started to take group photos when the clients were there.

The best location

The Perhentian Island Resort is definitely in the best location on the island, we stayed for 4 nights recently. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and although the room was a bit worn it was spacious and clean, the bathroom was also a pleasant surprise with a great shower and bathtub. The rooms were cleaned every day and clean towels, bottled water and tea/coffee replenished, the A/C also worked really well. Only negatives were a large pile of rubble left outside our bungalow and a lack of grounds keeping, also the pool was closed for maintenance for the first two days of our stay - but with a beach like this one who cares about the pool! Highlights were the PADI dive tours, eating at the many different restaurants (especially Mamas), and swimming/snorkelling in the amazing blue water - awesome!

Amazing surrounding environment

The hotel was acceptable, average condition in general but some of the rooms were in poor condition. However it doesn't really matter since the time you will be spending in the room is very few compare to the time you will be spending hanging around in this wonderful typical postcard environment: transparent water, snorkeling along the sea, swimming with the turtles, rays and many other kind of fishes. Highly recommended for a peaceful gateway!

Not much going for the resort, beach is great

The pool was a filthy green bio hazard and was closed, this should have been disclosed to us while we were booking. The room was run down, mouldy shower curtains and drippy air conditioner. The only good thing there was the beach.

Did not live up to our expectations

This hotel was a real disappointment - certainly not the island paradise we had been expecting. We arrived early in the day and the hotel did kindly let us check in but the room they gave us was disgusting - old, dirty, unbearably hot. The air conditioning unit (so essential in this heat) was ancient - it did not work and was very noisy, and the vents were filthy. The bathroom was dirty, there were insects splatted all over the wall. The swimming pool had clearly not been used in a long time, it was green, smelly and full of insects. Despite the problems with the rooms, the main issue at Perhentian Island Resort was the complete lack of atmosphere – there did not seem to be many other guests staying there and many things weren’t available e.g. the bbq dinners were not running. I’ve already mentioned the swimming pool was not available. This meant that it was a depressing atmosphere and not somewhere we wanted to relax and spend time in the evenings. It was also very expensive to eat / drink at the resort. We ended up walking to nearby resorts for dinner every night and found a much nicer environment and better and cheaper food. Finally, I could not believe how rude and unhelpful all of their staff were to us during our stay. We did not understand why – Malaysian staff elsewhere on our trip were wonderful. It really felt like they did not want our business. I would definitely not recommend this hotel to others – there are far better options on Perhentian Besar.

Good hotel with minor weaknesses.

The hotel's location is really great, and with one of the best beaches on the Island. If you get too tired of the ocean, you have the opportunity to do some nature exploring in the sorrounding area. The condition of the hotel was ok, but it could be a bit better when taking the price into consideration (guess you pay for the location)! The restaurant is pretty expensive compared to other places i Malaysia and on the Island. They mostly serve buffet (do have other dishes) and they then charge 10% extra for service - we almost had no service, so being charged this amount + 6% tax was a bit "greedy"! Overall, the hotel is good (clean etc.) but the staff could be improved.

Best hotel in Perhentian

It's the best hotel in Perhentian. There are big territory, flowers and a lot of animals. you don't need to go anywhere to see squrrels, gecos, birds, turtiles, sharks etc. you can go snorkling near the hotel (corals, a lot of fish, turtils), no need to go anywhere. Clean room, everything in the room you need. Tea, coffee.creamer is complimentary recharged every day. you can take drinking water from dining room freely, no need to pay for water. it's big plus. There is teapot in the room, you can make tea and coffee for yourself. very calm and nice to rest with children even with very small one. we staied with our baby (1 year 9 month) and it was good, no noise, everything ok. we saw all hotels in this island and Perhentian island resort is the best. We visited it second time because first time we like it very much! I recommend this hotel, but you need to book beforehand because it's full on weekends. On weekdays it's almost empty, on weekends it's full. The price in expedia is better then in the hotel itself. Book and enjoy nice holiday.

Hotel en un paraíso que debe mejorar mantenimiento

El lugar es un paraíso si te acompañan días de sol. Cuatro días son suficientes para relajarte y disfrutar de la isla, ya sea a través de jungle trecking o con los taxi boats. La gente es muy agradable y sonriente. El hotel tiene que renovarse, las habitaciones están avejentadas en su mobiliario y requieren mejor mantenimiento, aunque son lo suficientemente cómodas para dormir que es el único tiempo que pasas allí. La climatización en nuestro caso funciona perfectamente y hay frigoríficos con agua de cortesía que enfrían perfectamente. El buffet es muy limitado y no es de calidad. El paraíso del lugar y su ubicación en una playa paradisíaca disimula las carencias del hotel.

Hôtel sur une belle plage mais mal managé

L'hôtel a un super potentiel car il est bien situé (très belle plage) et les espaces sont bien pensés (restaurant avec vue sur la mer/belles chambres). Cependant la piscine est hors fonctionnement depuis le mois de février 2024 et cela n'est pas mentionné sur les sites de réservation. Globalement cela manque de gestion et de maintenance. Le jardin à l'arrière n'est pas entretenu (déchets non ramassés). Un management laxiste qui forcément apporte un manque de service et ne donne pas satisfaction.

Le buffet du soir idem pas beaucoup de choix, cher pour ce que c’est, Extra bed surfacturé.. 90rm par jour, Personnel tout de meme sympathique, mais pour diner le Barat un peu plus loin est sympa La plage est chouette aussi, la superette hyper cher preferez celle vers le barat moins cher

PIR is probably the best hotel on the perhentians, considering the wonderful beach closeby populated by the most beautiful wildlife and the nice location of the bungalows themselves. There are many activities available. The room is well-equipped and beautiful, very-well cleaned, although not perfectly.

Nuestra experiencia en el Pir después de leer los comentarios fue mejor de lo esperado. Tras leer las opiniones de otros huespedes ibamos preparados para pasar hambre y dormir entre ardillas pero nada mas lejos de la realidad. Lo mejor: la playa, sin duda la mejor de ambas islas. Hacer snorkel y ver tortugas, tiburones pequeños y miles de peces a unos metros no tiene precio. Tambien destacar a los trabajadores: amabilidad, sonrisas e infinita paciencia (la liamos con la caja de seguridad) Lo peor: la calidad precio es muy muy justita. El sitio es una pasada pero ni las cabañas(a pesar de dormir en una renovada) ni las instalaciones se ajustan al precio A mejorar: El restaurante. La comida no es una delicia, vale, es cara, si, pero no es tan mala como he leido por aqui. El desayuno bastante bien. En resumen: al ver la playa se olvida todo
