Ocean View Room”
Our room are facing the ocean. nice room and clean. Price room include breakfast. Breakfast quite ok but need to improve. We arrived quite late around 6pm, since Feb still monsoon season expected a big waves upon arrival. and when we arrived we being served with welcome drinks. The reception is nice to us giving all the information. They change our towels everyday and u can request to change bed cover to. They have a they own private beach and u can access to another part of island by walking 15 minutes. Nice beach and water so blue and clean. U can even snokerling in front of the hotel with beautiful coral view. Very2 suitable for family and couples who one a private vacation. Snokerling cost u about rm45 - rm60. Renting Snokerling rm10 per day. Kayak rm30 per hours. Boat taxi rate between rm5 - rm20 perpax. After 8pm price will be double. The only disappointed moment that we had is when we take a boat taxi to small island and when we arrived everything were closed. So don’t go to small island when monsoon season. The local said u can go there end of March until end of July. I had a good time there with my wife. Han & Vika 🇲🇾🇷🇺

Comfortable resort on a beautiful beach”
I stayed in a beach front chalet that has beautiful view and soothing sound of waves. The rooms are newly refurbished and are modern and comfortable. My room was very near the reception area so I could get strong wifi in my room. I could also get reliable 4G mobile data using Maxis. The beach in front of PIR is one of the best - it is long, with white soft sand, and the sea was clear and calm while I was there. Staff at the sales office, reception and sea sports centre were very helpful. This is my 4th visit to Perhentian and have stayed in different resorts - this resort is most well equipped and comfortable. Although the price is higher, I feel it is worth it. In terms of food, we only had breakfast at the resort. Our package did not include lunch and dinner as we could easily walk-in to other restaurants nearby that offer more variety and better price.

Great trip overall”
My friends and I put our expectations to low after seeing reviews on cleanliness and food issues, but we were pleasantly surprised! The chalet was all we needed and it was clean. Nothing out of place. Staff is as friendly as can be and all arrangements made went smoothly. For breakfast, the options were good and I’d rate the food at 3.5/5. No complaints! We decided to have dinners over at Barat and Coral View, across a bridge and some stairs. Food at Barat is better. Our main reason for going to an island is for the beach and sea, and that also happens to be the best part of Perhentian Island Resort. The sand is soft and beaches kept clean. Seawater is clear and the soft sand from the beach stretches far out into the sea. Like the title of my review, it’s overall a great trip :)

Amazing private beach”
The location was awesome. The best place for relaxation & unwinding after a hectic work life. Dry resort with no alcohol so very Muslim friendly. Nothing going on at night, you can ride water taxis to get to Long Beach (opposite PIR beach). Room & toilet was very spacious, bed super comfy, our balcony (Premier Beach Front) was literally 10-20m from the beach, awesome! Agoda says the rooms were equipped with wifi & tv in room, but no wifi & tv in room. Thank God we got a room 3 doors from the reception, hence free wifi lol, so we just watched tv from our iPad on our Unifi TV account. I have no idea why all the fuss about bad food in previous reviews. To me food is delicious and well worth the price. For breakfast, you get to choose any 2 kinds of eggs, or asian food such as stir fried noodles. The portion was very large, you eat at 9.30am, you will not be hungry til 2-4pm. There are unlimited buffet table of breads & cereals too, plus refillable juices & coffee. Good enough to fill me up early in the morning before jumping into the water lol. A la carte dinner was awesome too, delicious tomyam noodles & fried rice, with LOTS of seafood inside. Price was worth the portion. Yuummsss. Overall, amazing stay. Totally recommended to unwind & relax. Love love love. Will repeat next year. Thanks PIR!

Walk a couple minutes from your room and swim with sea turtles--where else are you going to do that?”
Somehow this resort has managed to keep several sea turtles (adult and adolescent) happy swimming just off their beach even though lots of tourists snorkel around them and boats from all the other resorts come here to show people turtles. The resort is good in and off itself, staff very helpful and responsive. The food in the restaurant might be helped with higher quality cooking oil, but the breakfast options are good. Also, there's a lot of amazing fish to be seen in the water just off the beach. I've never seen ocean wildlife like this that wasn't in some remote place far from any lodging. We want to come back again, but next time stay longer than just 2 nights which was too short.

A place to unwind and relax”
If you want unwind and relax this is the place to be! The place is not crowded, serene, and not much people. Beach is clean, same with the water. Room and toilet are decent. The staff are accommodating and nice. Though most guest are families, still you wouldn't feel awkward if you want to have an alone time. Only con is there's only 3 nearby (about 10mins walk) eateries/restaurant. Still Definitely recommended, and will surely be back here.

A gem! Will come back”
PIR has the best beach at Perhentian. Stay is so relaxing. We just lounged at the beachfront whole day long, dip at beach, lounge, dip, snack, dip, lunch.. then repeat up to sunset :) The property is also huge, the chalet is huge. Breakfast has many choices. There’s even a pool but we didn’t use as we can’t get away from the beautiful beach. The lounge chairs need some repairing though and will be lovely if it’s cushioned :) the abundant trees are the best shades while lounging and the breeze feels cooler. Will definitely book again!

View from the beach is simply breathtaking.”
Opt for standard room is still good, especially when you spend time outdoors. Simple deco, well maintained rooms. Beach location is great, you have spot for snorkelling around corals. Section to swim in comfort and calm waves almost like swimming in pool. The advantage is you are able to spot “resident turtle”, medium size stingrays, near the jetty around surrounded by various kinds of fishes. Young and old are able to enjoy the activities safely, precaution taken too as there is no lifeguard on duty. Breakfast spread is good with selection and reasonable choice. You can walk over crossing the bridge to other resorts Coral Bay View, the Barat for dinner. Staff here are warm hearted and friendly, courteous too. They will follow up on your departure to confirm boat rides back to Kuala Besut Jetty. I’ll look forward to another stay here in Perhentian Island Resort, it reminds me so much of Maldives.

Absolutely repeat”
Room : Great and clean. Environment : Good but (not ok when people from outside can picnic all along the beach - also they used resort gazebo when raining). Restaurant : The taste doesn't have standard to serve at "Resort". Staff : Very friendly and helping. Overall, I just love this resort because of crystal water and comfort chalet. Maybe will repeat

We enjoyed our stay. We will definitely stay here again. ”
Restaurant Staff was friendly and helpful. They help us to go to the clinic at the nearby village with the resort boat with no charge. The resort is clean. House keeping was very attentive. Beautiful beach. The curry mee was delicious.

Nice resort but not privacy”
the resort is nice, beautiful with white sandy beach, can snorkel just in front of your chalet, got nemo and sea turtle too. Everything was so paradise and like heaven on earth and suddenly the day trip tourist comeby and destroy all the happiness. They came like alien invasion and use our beach and facilities and leave trashes behind. We were scared and my children even run and screaming when they arrived. What a holiday. Is just if the resort can avoid all of the day trip tourist coming to the beach, this place would be a tremendous destination holiday.

Memories Worthy”
PIR has the best beach and facilities. Even the tortoise n sea creatures like stingrays can be seen at the beach. Bring bread to feed the fishes and magical feeling. Other resorts brought snorkelling groups to PIR. NO TV, WIFI but I still insist on ocean view as you can hear the waves 24/7. Breakfast is nothing like the 5* as they need a lot to improve. The spa was awesome after a day in the ocean. Definitely need to return.

BEST TRIP EVER”
I had stayed here for 3 days 2 nights for the anniversary celebration. I like the environment, its so comfy and the beach is freaking crystally clear to see the sand and it's suitable for kids to play around. Its freedom to choose any package offer such snorkeling, canoe or even to rent the life jacket and google. You can manage your own itinerary instead of your choose packaging, which the time is quite tight. The room and staff service are top notch. Very recommended

Very good resort, I highly recommend it to everyone”
Resort has a very nice beach (compared against others that we've been to at Perhentian islands), staff is amazingly friendly and helpful (upon arrival we had an issue with leaking handshower - it took 10 mins for someone to come over to see the problem and next 10 mins to fix it by replacing it with a new one). When doing the booking ourselves, we noticed people raising 2 issues: quality of food and cleanliness. In the resort we ate only breakfasts and these were great (big variety that will fit everyone's tastes). When it comes to cleanliness on a daily basis our room was nicely cleaned up. Overall we are very satisfied with our stay at this resort and if we come back to Perhentian Islands (which I very much hope for!) then we would definitely stay at Perhentian Island Resort again.

Fabulous ”
Gorgeous place to visit. Staff were great, friendly and helpful. We had a couples spa treat and the massage and facial was amazing. Dive centre on site made easy work of booking our snorkel trip which is a must, we saw reef sharks and our tour guide didn’t give up finding turtles. Gorgeous beach with towels and loungers. One point: if the sea is choppy, sit at the back of the boat unless you love a roller coaster ride.

The Family Resort at the Big Island”
I love the seaview chalet we had. The place, as many reviewed, is the best family resort at the Big Island. However, with the price we paid, normally resort provides TV, hair dryer and slipper in the room. But this place doesn’t. For those who stays here for a long period, TV and hair dryer are necessary. Anyway, I will still repeat this place in future. I love stretch of the beach in front my chalet.

HIGHLY recommended”
Many many reasons 1) Superb chalet.. facing directly to the beach 2) Strategic location - for snorkelling. Tourists from other places came here to snorkel 3) Great facilities .. waiting lounge, restaurant, beach chairs and umbrellas available 4) Have own beach and own jetty. Staff will carry luggage to the jetty and arrange boat transfers In all.. a highly recommended resort...suitable for families seeking retreat

Probably the best beach and resort you can find on both perhentian islands”
Most beautiful beach just in front of the resort. In my opinion the rating of the resort is underrated. Whether on besar or kecil we didn't see a place like this. Very friendly staff, cheapest boat taxis on besar and food was also really good.
