Verdict
Coral View Island Resort sits on Coral View Beach, on the west coast of Perhentian Besar, between Perhentian Island Resort and The Barat. Its Trip.com listing gives 90 rooms and an opening year of 1991.
Rooms run from Standard to Superior and Deluxe garden-view rooms, garden-view family suites and a Premium Pool Villa. Rates are room only, and the resort sells no alcohol. On 11 November 2026 it scored 8.4 on Trip.com from 68 reviews. Recent guests praise the snorkelling and turtles off the beach and the reasonably priced food.
The catch is upkeep and contact. Reviews from 2026 often mention mould, old and noisy air-con, broken fittings and unhelpful reception, and some were caught out by the walk from the pier and steep stairs to some rooms. The resort has no official website we can link to and publishes neither its boat fare nor its monsoon dates, so confirm the booking and the boat before you travel.
Good for
Snorkellers and families who want a quiet beach on Besar and do not need a bar.
Not for
Anyone who wants well-kept rooms, a drink with dinner, or a resort they can reach directly through its own website.
