Verdict
Mimpi Perhentian is a 75-room resort on Long Beach, the busiest strip on Perhentian Kecil, beside the Long Beach jetty.
Room types run from Hillview Superior and Ocean View Deluxe to Family and Premier Suites. There is an all-day restaurant, a snack bar, a salt-water pool for adults, a spa, a dive centre and a guest lift. In November 2026 it scored 8.1 on Booking.com and 8.5 on Agoda.
The catch is that its scores trail the BuBu properties a few minutes along the beach, and its official website still carries template filler and sample prices, so do not rely on it for rates. Its boat must be booked three days ahead. Like most Long Beach resorts it closes for the monsoon; check the dates before you book.
Good for
Groups and families who want a pool and a dive centre in the middle of Long Beach.
Not for
Anyone who wants a quiet bay, or who relies on the resort’s own website for prices.
