The Barat Perhentian Reviews

This resort is a gem on the island. It’s nothing fancy but clean, staff are friendly and provide a proactive service to guest. It is in a good location and offers snorkel trips, diving, beach towels and water taxi’s to get around. The restaurant service is good and they accommodate requests (making small item changes to dishes).

Absolutely relaxing break during the long week end. Great place to unwind. Staff is friendly and always willing to help. I stayed in standard chalet, which is basic but met my requirements at the price I paid. Located next to the jetty, it is easy to access by boats. I recommend this place for solo travellers as well as families.

Good location, food is the best in this side of the island. Room service and the condition can be improved,

Perfect holiday getaway. Booked the family seafront which was just completed in Apr24. Everything works well as the new unit, cold bottled water and cold room in a heated noon is a real blessing. Rooms are clean and good to have toilet separated from shower room. We use Cosmic Divers as it’s cheaper compared with Barat’s, not to mention additional 10+8% tax! Cosmic allowed us to choose our preferred dive spots and offer pick up/drop off.

Nice and clean 👍 like it Recommended in perhentian island 👍

Location is good and the food is nice

Started with family and had an amazing trip. , , the staff were really nice and helpful. Location is quiet while nearby restaurants are available. Amazing snorkeling only a few minutes away We used the hotel activities for snorkeling tour + scubba diving and the staff was great, really kind and knowledgeable so big up to them (Benny and Nick).

We went to barat perhentian during the school holidays. Check in was smooth. We arrived early and was given our room once it is ready. The beach in front of barat is not that great, but you can walk 10mins to perhentian island resort beach - the beach there is awesome. White sand, clear blue water and there are some coral & nemo at the end of the beach.

Pretty nice place! Takes 10 minutes on foot to the beach. Recommend!

Everything is relative. For perhentian, barat is one of the cleaner hotels around. But for the price I paid during super peak season, one would expect cleaner services. I waited hours for the room to be ready, which I can understand as the night before was fully booked and I arrived before the official check in time. However, when I was finally able to check into my room,, the shampoo packet from the previous guest wasn't picked up and the drain hole still had hair. Towels were also damp. Once we got over this initial disappointment, I was quite happy for the rest of my time there. Room was well equipped with a kettle, hair dryer, fan and super cool air conditioning, the latter was crucial to alleviate the record heat we are experiencing. Location was superb as well. You can go snorkeling at the beach outside the neighboring hotel, where you can see baby sharks hanging around the rocks. I was assured by the staff that momma shark don't hunt there. I guess they are right since I lived to write this review. Those a little braver can swim out to turtle point (life jacket recommended). Every morning, loads of boats arrive here to drop off eager snorkelers hoping to catch a glimpse of turtles. It's nice to have the option to go anytime at your leisure, staying at barat hotel nearby.

Their staff was very helpful and accommodating.

The room is nice and clean for the family. The restaurant's cooking is very delicious and reasonable prices. Snorkelling trips are beautiful with corals and crystal-clear water. Should not miss all the snorkelling trips, especially the shark trip and Rawa Island.

Overall, it's a good hotel, and the restaurant is also good. A wonderful place where you can find peace of mind.

Very good experience from start to finish. We came from another hotel and they checked us in early around 11am which allowed us to freshen up and take a snorkelling trip. We booked a standard but were given a much larger room. A/C, Fridge and shower were great. The hotels restaurant was very good and offered a very efficient service. Check out was quick and to get off Perhentian Besar, we got picked up at Barat's own jetty. It was an absolute pleasure to stay here!
