The Barat Perhentian Beach Resort

Good value for money, with very professional staff. It’s located 5 minutes walking distance to Turtle Point, one of the best spots in island for diving/snorkelling. Pretty good (and affordable) restaurant, you will really appreciate it as the restaurants offer in island is quite limited. Hotel is becoming old, and rooms need a renovation, but can make its function if what you are focus on is to enjoy island and diving more than on staying in the room. We definitely recommend this hotel

Hotel bien ubicado en Perhentian Besar, a 5 minutos de una fantástica playa para el baño y el snorkeling. El hotel tiene muelle propio. Personal amable. El restaurante es genial, gran variedad de comida, muy buena y a precio razonable. Habitación limpia con lo necesario y camas bastante cómodas.

Es un bue hotel de playa, con una piscina muy agradable con vistas al mar, pero la habitación está bastante vieja y descuidada y necesita un lavado de cara de forma urgente.

El entorno esta fenomenal, la habitación cómoda y limpia , esta perfectamente situado para todo tipo de actividades y para comer y cenar.Admiten tarjetas de crédito en el hotel para las comidas y desayunos y para el pago de la habitación.

We stayed in the 4 bed dorm room with attached bathroom and toilet, which is really nice to have. The room however, gets quite cramp when there’re 4 bags in it, and there isn’t enough table space for things. Nevertheless, we like the tidy grounds and quality food at the restaurant.

We were at a round island swim event. Rooms clean & comfortable, staff friendly. The food and coffee was pretty good. We hired a private boat & had a great snorkelling trip. I’d stay again.

The Perhentian islands are an oasis in the sea about a 30 to 45 minute high speed boat ride from Besut off the north east coast of Malaysia. Well worth the effort to get there because it is truly a little paradise. Beautiful sand and seawater that is as blue and green and fresh and salty as you would expect of heaven. It’s not for everyone, those with a wanderlust and experienced travellers will definitely be rewarded. The Barat Resort itself is basic but very functional and well managed.

This resort for those who want to have dive will more suitable

The dorm room had thin walls, so you can hear the rooms beside you. The shower was just about acceptable. We left our luggage in the locker, however this was not locked and controlled hence anyone can enter at will. However a convenient stay for accessing coral view beach, a very good snorkelling site.

I've been to other hotels in the Island and definitely the Barat is the best one: - Best location in the Island. Walking distance to several beaches and restaurants. Kayak and taxi boats always available next to the hotel - Small but clean room with AC and fan - Great service, the front desk girls are really nice and always trying to help - Free beach towels - The food in the restaurant is really good. Great breakfast options! (You can use credit card)
