Don't EVER stay here! I wouldn't think twice to say that this is the worst holiday experience I've had and it all caused by this resort. First of all, they gave us a room with bed bugs and when we told them the next morning, the girl behind the desk went over a first-aid box and gave me an ointment,... More

Stayed here twice in front row bungalows on beach. Only booked transfers, room and breakfast. Breakfast was very average but careful selection can make it better - such as selecting from food directly above the burners in the warmers . Even though the food is average it doesn't stop the overfilling of plates and waste by some ! And remember... More

Don't expect good foods & most importantly, better get yourself clear about the Snorkeling trip voucher as it will be a little confusing and we are not properly informed that we need to pass the ticket everyday to the snorkel center for our daily snorkel trip which is quite troublesome for safe keeping a little paper when you are there...

You can grab this place cheap out of season (we went at end of April) and had a great time. Awesome snorkelling straight from the beach - turtles in season and lots of small fish. Comfortable room and helpful staff. I liked that I could charge everything straight to the room - could just wander around in swimming togs all... More

I'm writing this review from the terrible breakfast of the hotel. The only good thing of this place is the beach. Otherwise it's not worth your hard earned money. The rooms are old and the bathrooms ugly. The service is pathetic. They needed 4 people to do a check in and half of them didn't speak English. The property in... More

The sea was clean, clear, beautiful and amazing. The turtle snorkeling point is just in front of the resort. The food was out of my expectation. Before reaching, I was expecting the food to be bad and awful as I read all the reviews written. However, comparing to Tioman Island, the food was just great and localized but they can... More

I went to Perhentian Island Resort on July 2012 and i enjoyed my stay there. The resort has its own jetty so it is easier for us. The setback of this hotel is only on the room and the food. the room is a bit rundown but comfortable enough, the plus point of the room if the 24hrs supply of... More

Resort: The resort area is clean and adequately kept, but it can be further improved. Cafe/ Restaurant: There is not much selection in the buffet served, but the cooking and meals prepared are delicious (To the local's taste) but I reckon international travelers may not be adaptable to the localized menu selections. Room: We stayed in a superior room for... More

We had a wonderful scuba diving experience at this resort. The dive center was equipped with well taken cared equipment and a fun professional crew. Unlike other dive resorts that pack as many divers as they can, this one split the groups with assigned dive masters. For Advanced Open Water course, instructor Rashid taught at our pace because we wanted... More
