I'm not giving this five on one point - the food is shocking, and everything that you buy at the hotel is expensive/ overpriced. This isn't a problem though, you get everything you need just round the corner 5 minutes walk, and the accomodation and location more than make up for it. The beach is the best, and there's quite... more

We were first going to stay at Watercolours - checked in and then 3 hours later checked out and checked into the Perinthian Isalnd Resort. Beach fantastic - just not enough loungers on the beach but had mats so no problem. Hotel fantastic with monkeys, lizards, squirrals and bats all around. The rooms need a bit of up grading but... more

We had a fantastic stay at the resort. The staff were very friendly if a little bit laid-back at times. When we arrived there was no-one there to meet our boat and our driver had to resort to shouting at the guys on reception to get their attention. In the end we got ourselves off the boat which wasn’t a... more

A couple of friends from US and Vietnam came to visit me an we decided to go to Perhentian Island, even as a local I haven't been there before. So, started our trip on the 15th and was a 3 days 2 nights affair. Check in took more than half an hour, and after all the hastle, finally we got... more

For the amount I had to pay plus the expensive transportation, I'd rather go to Tioman. The same waters but half the price. I stayed in Paya beach hotel in Tioman. If you must go to Perhentian, try Coral View Island resort. For Rm 210, you get a beach front room and a clean one to boot! more

We were there 01-04Aug09 with 2 other friends and was at the coffee house while waiting for the slow receptionist who stuggled in English. Was greeted by an unhelpful who insisted us to order and pay at the counter before they would serve you. We were terribly shocked on the exorbitant pricing on the menu. To top it all, the... more

This place is definitely three times over-priced (we paid USD130 inclusive of bfast) and it's only selling point is it's perfectly situated on the best beach of the 2 perhentian islands (soft sand, and clear waters, less traffic - it's the last stop for boat taxis, but then also a popular spot for snorkellers from other parts of the island,... more

Disasterous 1st night - we opted for a 'superior' room that was behind the sea-view rooms towards the rear of the resort. In the middle of the night, we were woken up by loud shuffling noises inside the room. To our horror, we discovered a huge rat scurrying around. Unfortunately there is no one on hand in reception overnight, so... more

This hotel should have been really nice but it is the past. It really does not worth the price they are asking for. It is settled on the best beach of the island but it is its only postive point: - The service is almost inexistant - The room are spacious but old - The environnement is not well maintained... more
