Considering this is one of the most expensive properties in the Perhentians you would expect something pretty special - and the beach is indeed fantastic but that is where it ends. The rooms are very basic and we have nothing good to say about the restaurant where the menu was very limited unless you love seafood and the quality of the food was a awful.
