  • Perhentian Island travel guide on choosing the best accommodation on Perhentian Island.
    If you are planning a trip to the Pulau Perhentian Kecil, and don't know where to stay, watch this video!
    We are travelling on a budget and many of the resorts or hotels are extremely expensive, but we did not want to camp since we heard that the tent can be hot, mosquitoes can be a problem, and it can be harsh during rainy days. We had our electronics so we didn't want to risk it.
    So we searched three of the cheapest accommodations on 3 of the most popular beaches in Perhentian Island.
    We stayed at:
    Crocodile Rock Villa at Rainforest Beach
    Senja Bay Resort at Coral Bay
    Seahorse Diver Guesthouse at Longbeach
    Check out our video for the chalet tours and reviews. We hope this Malaysia travel guide and Malaysia travel vlog will help you plan your trip to Perhentian Island. Don't forget to watch our other Perhentian Island videos so you can get idea on things to do on Perhentian Island. If you plan to stay in Terengganu before hopping to the Island, please watch our Terengganu travel vlogs for more Terengganu travel guides and things to do in Terengganu.

    🏝Perhentian Island is expensive‼️
    But we found 3 different BEACHFRONT acommodations on the 3 most popular beaches on the island. They are the cheapest we found that are not camping!
    Which one of these places would you choose?🏝

    I like the aircon one. I like to sleep in cold room, lol esp when the weather is cooking hot !
    I stayed at Cocohut and had to walk up the steps and slope... not for old folks, lol. But the chalet is comfortable wt ac. We know the owner there.
    The other place we stayed at was The Barat Perhentian resort. The food is VERY GOOD, and chalet/room is ac. Place to sit and lie on the hammock, and that is where you can see the flying squirrels.
    I would recommend The Barat Perhentian resort.
