I have been here 33 + 35years already- and surely a lot has changed! But one thing is definetly still the same: the beautiful location😍 lovely beach with really nice snorkel experiences:blacktip-reefsharks ( small ones ), stingrays and plenty turtels… just to name the highlights of the beach, right in front of the resort🐢🏝️🤩 The accomodation could be better, a bit cleaners, just like the whole resort. With obly a little touchup it could gain a lot of class. As for the food: better go to one of rhe other places closeby! Breakfast feels like a canteen and tastes like that as well. Staff was very friendly, can not agree with the other reviews. Prices are pretty high for what you get. Knowing all this upffont already, I still booked PIR because location wise it is for me still the best place on beautiful Perhentian… Having known all this upffont already, I still booked PIR because location wise it is for me still the best place on beautiful Perhentian Besar🥰 Guess I still would come again….😉

We got the beach front chalet. location is top notch, water activity experience very good (corals, fishes, baby sharks and turtles just right outside the hotel!) Food not bad, accommodation and spa was great!
The aircond took a while to get cold and there was no hot water in our shower. There were a couple of blackouts but it was sorted quite immediately (apparently it’s very common). There is no wifi in rooms so make sure you bring a pocket wifi/dongle from mainland and make sure it’s Celcom.

Snorkelling straight from beach. Swan with turtles from the beach every day. The buffet breakfast was fantastic. Lots of choice for different tastes.
Karaoke room closed, swimming pool lacked beds to lie on, in disrepair. No entertainment for evenings when can’t swim anymore. Shop on site was very expensive.

The beach where hotel is perfect, no stones, sandy, good for kids. There are few places for dinner or lunch close to hotel. Better rooms are in the first line to the beach, others are bad.
The hotel is not renovated for ages. It is not possible to use swimming pool. Rooms are not clean. There is no much option for breakfast, food is not tasty.

We had an amazing stay with direct access to probably the best beach on the island. You can see turtles, baby sharks, and fish swimming just a few steps from the shore. Our room offered a stunning sea view, and the bed was very comfortable. The staff was kind and helpful.
While the beach is truly amazing and the main reason to visit, the rest of the property is outdated and poorly maintained. Our room, though cute, was full of dust and not well cared for. It’s unfortunate because with a bit more attention to cleanliness, like changing the stained, worn linens, this place could be perfect. Also, be aware that there's no Wi-Fi, and given the remote location, an internet connection might be necessary."

Location was great as resort had whole beachfront! Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were well positioned and right near beach! Jungle walks were worthwhile with wild monkeys, squirrels and goannas in their natural environment!
Ferry transfer to the island due to rough weather was dangerous! Disembarking at the jetty was very difficult and no staff were there to help us disembark! Breakfast was adequate but didn’t change from day to day!

Amazing quite place with hardly any children, the beach was empty most of the time with sunbeds been avalable throughout the day. was a fantasic stay with boat ferrys avalable all the time and for a very resonable price. the sea was incredable, very very memrable please
The pool was closed for renervation with no notification of this, wasn't really required as the sea was cristal clear and a perfect tempriture. I wanted to go snorkling but the group was fully booked, so make sure you book in advance. the food is mainly a buffet but there is an alacart menu. Also it a none achol resourt

The room was clean and comfortable. Since this is the only property available at this side of island, you will need to add on for breakfast/lunch/dinner unless you are planning to go to the other side of island (which is via boat). They have both ala carte and buffet menu. The food was great. My kid love their breakfast buffet! They have variety of food. If you want your money worth, book the front beach view and request room near the lobby. Nearer to their restaurant as well. The beach was clean and we are able to see baby shark and turtle !
We requested for early check in and we even checked with the hotel management prior arrival. However, when we arrived they couldnt prepare the room. We had to leave our luggages at luggage room for us to start our activities.

The beach is absolutely gorgeous. I cannot fault it. Beautiful place. A bit far from the other hotels but great locqtion
The staff seemed not the politest and weren't very compromising. I found the staff a bit off to be honest and I always rate the staff highly in other places. Especially one member on kitchen floor was rude. Never mind . The food isn't also the best in the buffet

The location is great as the resort is situated on a lovely beach. There are snorkel and dive trips arranged at their centre and you can also snorkel on the small reef off the beach with quite a good number of fish to be seen. It is quiet and relaxing once the tour boats have left. They seemed to come from 11 am-2 pm every day. We had 2 Premier Garden rooms which had been renovated and were clean with good water pressure for the showers, good aircon and good hot water supply from the heaters. Staff were friendly and quick to respond to any request we had for help as much as they could.
The quality of the food available for breakfast buffet is not great. The sun loungers need to be replaced. They are old and wooden with varnish and paint flaking off, rusty nails sticking out and so heavy it’s hard to move them.
