The Barat Perhentian Beach Resort

The Barat Perhentian Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay in a Family Seaside Room with our 2 teens. Spacious and comfortable, strong AC. Wifi worked, hot shower, comfortable beds, mini fridge. Basic amenities. They gave 4 water bottles and a new roll of toilet paper per day and beach towels were available at the front desk. We enjoyed the chairs on our porch and the amazing view of the other island. The way the island is set up, there are only beach paths which cut through all the hotels so you do get a lot of people walking in front of the room along the path - not the place for you if you want something more private (or pick a room farther in the back without a view). We loved people watching along the jetty and enjoyed the vibe. It was quiet for sleeping times. A quick and easy 5 minute walk to Coral View beach and another couple minutes to PIR beach. Just breathtaking beaches! Clear water, amazing snorkeling right off the beach. Restaurant on site had great food, took credit cards and we loved hanging out there for the evenings but the service was hit or miss. Get there early or wait for a table for a long time. They forgot part of our order on 3 occasions and we had to ask, after a 40 minute wait. Also more expensive than other places as they add 20% tax/gratuity. Overall, we kept our expectations low as the islands aren't very developed or luxurious but we were comfortable, felt safe and left feeling very happy. The Perhentians are incredible and this hotel made for a great home base during our stay."

The water is wonderfully clear and warm, making it great for all water-based activities. This is also when all the resorts, restaurants, and diving centres are fully operational, ensuring you have the widest range of choices and the best service.For those planning a romantic getaway, the shoulder months of March, April, September, and October can be particularly appealing. The weather is still fantastic, but the island tends to be a little less crowded than during the peak summer months of July and August. You'll find it easier to secure a quieter spot on the beach or a more intimate dining experience.Families travelling with children will also find the March to October window ideal. The calm waters are great for young swimmers and beginner snorkellers, and the consistent sunshine means more time for beach activities and exploring.
