We had the standard chalet and I’m sad to share that the condition was not good and it didn’t match the pictures from the website. The rooms could definitely use some renovation and the cleaning standards are very poor. They also have newly renovated rooms, that unfortunately were not available when we booked and probably are in better shape.
The island is very beautiful and 5 min walk from the resort there is a beautiful beach.
Wowza! This was one of the best 5 day asian island resort experiences we've had on our travels.
The resort has gone through a full refurbishment in the last couple of years, so we were delighted to see that most of the negative feedback has been listened too and actioned. Do not hesitate to book.
All the staff - reception, restaurant, cleaners, concierge, footmen and management - are so friendly, helpful and enjoy a sense of fun, whilst all being totally professional. Our room was clean fresh with clean linens and towels.
Sometime it takes an issue to truely rate an experience and we were absoultely blown away at the attentiveness and resolution. It turned our experience from 5 star to 6 star.
We will definitely be back!!!
Very basic place to stay but nice and clean. You get free water everyday. The bathroom is very basic, i wasn't expecting 5* so i wasn't disappointed with what we got. Short walk to the beach from the room we had. Trees over head full of fruit bats that screech during the night and early morning but not bad enough to disturb us too much. Overall happy with our stay.
Basic place with a big price. Doesn’t have a real beach either.

Liked: Staff & service
The Barat is in a lovely position on the beach and has lots of large shady trees which make it very beautiful.
The older accommodation at the back needs some repairs. Still a lovely place.
Lovely place to stay, close to activities. Great shuttle service. Would recommend!

Cleanliness issue after long closure; poor wifi
Beautiful seafronting setting. Dedicated pontoon jetty for easy arrival. Granted early checkin which was nice. Wifi was terrible and barely useable. Main issue: cleanliness. There were dead bugs and roaches in the bathroom which could have easily been hosed away before handing over the room to guests. More importantly, there seemed to be minor bed bugs from the mattress. My partner and I both had uncomfortable bites. We are still nursing the itches currently at home with cream/ointment. Pretty disappointing from an otherwise pleasant stay at The Barat. Hope the management can have a look (our room num was 322).
We stayed in the 4 bed dorm room with attached bathroom and toilet, which is really nice to have. The room however, gets quite cramp when there’re 4 bags in it, and there isn’t enough table space for things. Nevertheless, we like the tidy grounds and quality food at the restaurant.
We were at a round island swim event. Rooms clean & comfortable, staff friendly. The food and coffee was pretty good. We hired a private boat & had a great snorkelling trip. I’d stay again.

Oasis in the sea
The Perhentian islands are an oasis in the sea about a 30 to 45 minute high speed boat ride from Besut off the north east coast of Malaysia. Well worth the effort to get there because it is truly a little paradise. Beautiful sand and seawater that is as blue and green and fresh and salty as you would expect of heaven. It’s not for everyone, those with a wanderlust and experienced travellers will definitely be rewarded. The Barat Resort itself is basic but very functional and well managed.

The Barat @ Perhentian
The dorm room had thin walls, so you can hear the rooms beside you. The shower was just about acceptable. We left our luggage in the locker, however this was not locked and controlled hence anyone can enter at will. However a convenient stay for accessing coral view beach, a very good snorkelling site.
I've been to other hotels in the Island and definitely the Barat is the best one:
- Best location in the Island. Walking distance to several beaches and restaurants. Kayak and taxi boats always available next to the hotel
- Small but clean room with AC and fan
- Great service, the front desk girls are really nice and always trying to help
- Free beach towels
- The food in the restaurant is really good. Great breakfast options! (You can use credit card)
