The Barat Perhentian Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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!

Nice enviroment and staffs. Close to beach and nature. You can literally hear the sound of Sunda Flying Lemur. Will coming back surely.

Very nice beach

The staff are very friendly and nice. Love the food there! The BBQ is a must try for dinner. The room is nice and cozy, highly recommended for a short getaway.

The staff very friendly and helpful

Super good place good restaurant with location for activities and affordable boat taxis

The rooms are clean, there is a small refrigerator, hair dryer, kettle, no tea, coffee. Water is brought every day. Towels are changed, but to do this you have to throw them on the floor. On the last day, clean towels smelled strongly of mold. The air conditioner periodically turns off, to turn it on you have to press a button, in our room the air conditioner did not cool well. The food in the restaurant is more expensive than in other cafes and plus to this in the final bill they add another 18%, so we went to eat in a neighboring cafe, where the staff is very nice and the prices are normal. Next to the room grew a mango tree and every day langurs came to eat. The hotel beach is not very good for swimming, there are a lot of dead corals in the water. But it is 5-10 minutes to walk to the beautiful PIR beach. Overall, the hotel is not bad.
