Wonderful place . Quiet and peaceful. Right on the beach. Hire a snorkel and just off the beach you can find the sea turtles en right from the jetti you can find beautiful underwater life.

“While the resort excels in location, beach access, and convenience, improvements to the food quality and chalet maintena”
The resort’s location is well situated. We got a whole beach with good amount of beach chairs. The sea at Perhentian Besar is much better for swimming. We liked how there was a pipe right outside our chalet to wash our legs etc before getting into our room. We appreciated the luggage being brought to our rooms directly coming off of the boat. The pricing of the snorkeling package was also quite worth it when bought through the hotel.

Pros: Excellent location on a very beautiful beach. Perfect for those seeking peace and quiet. No music, no fun, no TV and no Wi-Fi in the rooms. Cons: The resort is quite dated and needs renovation. Furniture and bathroom facilities are worn out. The staff (with a few exceptions) is just "okay" – they do their jobs but lack a proactive approach. Verdict: This place has huge potential due to its location, but it desperately needs investment.
