The Barat Perhentian Beach Resort

The Barat Perhentian Resort is a newly refurbished 71 room beach front resort with restaurant, bar, diving, snorkeling, kayak and retreat.

The Staff at The Barat is fantastic.

Reviewed By Jimmikoldenborg

The Staff at The Barat is fantastic. Always smiling staff, and always ready to help you. We joined several snorkelling tours, which were very nice. The food at the restaurant was good, and the prices where reasonable. The room we stayed in was simple but clean. The PIR beach is nearby, and is a more beautiful beach, than the one in front of The Barat. It takes about 8 minutes to walk to PIR beach. We stayed at the resort for 7 days, and the only thing that we can think of could be improved is, Please keep your water, cokes etc cold!! Not just semi cold?. I think it’s because they are turning off the fridge at nighttime?. Compared to the price, this is a very nice place to stay. Don’t expect a 4 star hotel, but the Service is 5 star! Without doubt.

If you come between June and September, you might get lucky and see giant green turtles laying eggs along the beach.

Review of restaurant only Big restaurant that can accommodate large groups of people. We had lunch and found it average. There are enough options on the menu to choose from, including some western ones. Restaurant was under staffed but the waitress was friendly. The overall venue looks nice but has some signs that maintenance is due. No issues with temperature though - enough shade and fans! View from the restaurant is not amazing as it is not very close to the beach… not that this is a hard requirement because after your meal you can simply go to the beach and enjoy. Top tip - do NOT do a snorkeling trip to swim with turtles. It’s like 10 people 1 turtle being desperately chased. If you are a fine swimmer just go from the beach, enjoy some ALONE time with the turtle and go back. Respect nature.

wonderful place

we spent four days with our 2 daughters. Rooms are good for the price and the welcome is perfect. The hotel is conveniently located to the beach, which is never crowded. There are several restaurants around where we have eaten and most of them were very good

Suhaila Palace

Great place for burgers, nasi lemak and snacks

Reviewed By wshooi

We did not stay here but we had our lunches here everyday. It was so easy and great to grab a burger / nasi lemak with some refreshing freshly blended juices after diving with the dive center next door. They also have keropok lekor, fries, wedges, etc that they will fry only upon order, ensuring that your snacks is fresh, hot and tasty. The people were friendly, and the views from the restaurant is just awesome.

Perhentian Tuna Bay Island Resort

Perhentian Tuna Bay Island Resort is located on the south west coast of Pulau Perhentian Besar (Big Island), a quiet, untouched part of the island surrounded by tropical jungle, on a broad expanse of powdery white sand. The resort commands a breathtaking view of Pulau Perhentian Kecil (Small Island) and the South China Sea, right on your doorstep. All chalets are just a minute's walk from the beach and are tastefully built with wooden furnish.

Went for dinner

Reviewed By AEDAMA

Goodness! Went from our hotel by boat over to tuna Bay. It was very busy on the beach but we were looking for an early dinner with the kids. The waiter was so rude! Lots if food not avaliable. Our sons dinner never came. They were even rude when we came to pay the bill. You would think it was an inconvenience to give them money! Nice location but food pretty rubbish and you don't go out to be treated so badly!

Beach Box Perhentian

Quaint 9 room boutique hotel located on Pulau Perhentian Besar. It fronts the turquoise blue sea with view of the local village on neighbouring island and has the green jungle at the back. Personally designed and built by the owner giving the hotel a unique feel with elements of the ocean. Equipped with amenities for a comfortable stay. Enjoy your meals at the 3 Fish Restaurant.
