The location is excellent. It is so relaxing. The beach is just few meters away. It is a paradise. The only downside is the food. There are other hotels around with much better food.

Unbelievable beach and the water was incredible! You can snorkel right from the beautiful white sand beach. Buy (or bring) a good mask and you are all set. Head to Long Beach for some better food if you wish. Book the beachfront rooms if you can...it is worth the few.extra bucks. Pool is nice. You will not be disappointed as long as you don't mind a taxi ride from one of the close cities and a 35-45 minute boat shuttle! Worth the travel there 100%! Enjoy!

The location is paradise and great for a few days but the property is tired and needs a lot of work. The food at the restaurant was so average we went to the big island for dinner. If this resort was tidied up it would be a truely magical place to go as the beach is stunning with turtles straight out front .

3 night stay.

Warm welcome at reception and was allowed to checkin an hour before the official tine. Decent sized room. Could have been a little cleaner (hairs in bathroom on arrival). Towels provided. Little fridge although internet only available in restaurant area. Beach towel service and beach chair was excellent. Would stay again for sure.

The resort and surroundings could be a bit cleaner. Food is average but there are a couple of other dining options a few minutes away. Land and boat transfer were poorly arranged by the reservation office but we managed to transfer by ourselves (very easy, lots of taxis and boats available at/from airport to jetty). The best part is the gorgeous beach with crystal clear waters…a dream come true!

PIR is probably the best hotel on the perhentians, considering the wonderful beach closeby populated by the most beautiful wildlife and the nice location of the bungalows themselves. There are many activities available. The room is well-equipped and beautiful, very-well cleaned, although not perfectly. The only defect of the structure is the restaurant: the prices are quite high compared to the rest of the island and the food is average

Stayed in renovated room. Nothing exciting about the rooms. Drab bathrooms. Food not worth talking unfortunately (even the local food is boring) about but plentiful. No alcohol allowed on premises but smoking is allowed everywhere. Wifi only at reception area. Pool seems to have under repairs for sometime.

Overall wonderful experience. My daughter picked going here again over other vacation in SE Asia. Just after booking the trip, my wife broke her ankle. The paths are not scooter friendly, but that was not a top priority when we were picking a vacation spot. She healed enough before we left that she was able to swim, and see her favorite animal, the sea turtles. Which was our top priority. Excellent local wildlife on land and in water. Very convenient snorkeling out your front door.

Our view was fabulous! The restaurant was not great, we ordered prawns and they dipped snd fried small shrimp with the shell still on and served those. Awful! Most of the time we walked to somewhere else to eat. Our room was full of red ants we complained they did nothing. The beach was stunning!

Would definitely stay again

So, I loved this place. It was definitely worth splashing out for the ocean view room. The beach in high season was not busy at all. Best beach I’ve ever seen. Snorkling right on your own beach. Food was barely passable. Take a water taxi across to Long Beach to eat. They could improve this and it would make it much better. The rooms were a bit broken down but we didn’t mind at all. AC worked fine and we didn’t have any bugs and the beds were good enough. We were very happy here. They even have a tennis court (or what was once a tennis court). Staff were very sweet. Especially the male porters. Smiling and happy.

The beach where hotel is situated is the best beach on the island, and overal the hotel is better than I expected from reviews. Where things got really bad for me is: 1. No wifi and no reception (4G / 5G) coverage from my sim card in the room. I could not do anything in my room, had to go to the reception / restaurant area every time I needed to check anything. 2. Food in the restaurant was just horrible. I could not understand how a location in Malaysia could possibly make things like fried rice or noodles completely uneadible. It wouldn't even require extra costs to improve the food, just the bare minimal amount of effort and care

Room was a garden view room (Superior Double Queen room). Lots of insects like spiders, roaches (in bed), ants, etc. It’s adjacent to the jungle hence understand the amount of insects there, BUT they came in as the condition of the room was below acceptable standard: The bathroom was a catastrophe as the door frame was rotten away and allowed the insects to enter the apartment from the bottom. Also big gaps between front door and door frame. Same applies to patio doors. In general, the room required a significant amount of maintenance. Not worth the price we paid for it. There is lots of potential for this resort to be the best on the island but it is just not managed well enough. Staff were lovely though, at all times, always smiling and welcoming. Breakfast was okayish. Beach of course is one of the best we have seen so far, but it did not compensate for the bad condition of the room. We later changed to a Beachfront View room (we booked 2 separate rooms due to availability) and this changed the picture as the room was in a much better state than the Superior room we had.
