My stay at The Barat Perhentian Beach Resort had its ups and downs. While the dining experience was pleasantly surprising and staff (like King and Sina) provided great service, my room unfortunately suffered from several issues, including air conditioning troubles and noise problems.

The location is fantastic for beach access, just a minute's walk away. but the beach itself was disappointing. There was significant coral debris making swimming unappealing, and the beach area showed signs of erosion.

Dining

5.0

Dining options were available, and some of the food was decent, such as local dishes at nearby resorts. but the prices were steep compared to outside restaurants. The service during meals could also be improved significantly.

Facilities

5.0

Facilities like daily housekeeping were nice touches, but the unstable floating jetty was a concern. and the overall ambiance wasn’t relaxing due to noise from nearby events when the sun went down.
