Coral View: what to confirm

Coral View Island Resort is south of Teluk Pauh on Pulau Perhentian Besar, on a rocky peninsula. We found no official page for it. Room types, meal plans and season dates are not confirmed, so those are questions for the resort.

We have split this page in two: what is confirmed, then what to ask. The Perhentian Besar island guide and the island trip cost calculator help you check each answer.

What do we know about Coral View Island Resort?

Our notes place Coral View south of Teluk Pauh, on a rocky peninsula. A rocky shore may change how you enter the water and where you snorkel, so ask what the shoreline looks like at your room.

We could not find an official page, so we cannot say how many rooms it has or what kinds. The only description is the location.

Guests cross from Kuala Besut, and the crossing is reported as about 35 to 45 minutes ^[1]. We have not reviewed the resort in person.

Who might it suit?

It may suit you if you like a more separate spot and are comfortable with rocks and a shoreline that is not a long sandy beach. Confident swimmers may feel at ease there.

A place on a sandy bay may be a better fit if you travel with toddlers or anyone who is nervous in the water. The Coral View vs The Barat comparison compares it with another Besar stay.

How do you get there?

From Kuala Besut jetty the speedboat takes about 35 to 45 minutes, according to a ferry route listing ^[1]. Ask where the boat lands, and whether the walk to the room includes rocks, steps or a steep path.

Read the Kuala Besut jetty guide before you plan flights or a drive, and build your day backwards from the boat time.

Details to confirm before booking

Put these questions to the resort or your agent, and save every reply in writing.

• What does the shoreline look like at the room, and where is the nearest sandy swimming area?
• Which room types are available, and how many people does each take?
• Is snorkelling gear provided, and is there a safe entry point for children?
• Which meals are included each night, including arrival and departure days, and are tea breaks, snacks and drinks extra?
• Which boat do you take, is the return trip priced in, and who do you call if the departure changes?
• Ask whether park fees are already paid in the package or collected at the jetty, and what the current amounts are.
• What are the child, infant and senior rules and rates, and how is the booking handled if the boat cannot sail?

When does it close?

Most east-coast resorts close during the northeast monsoon, roughly November to February or March. Exact dates vary by resort and year ^[2]. We have no confirmed dates for Coral View Island Resort, so please ask for them in writing.

The Perhentian season guide lays out how this changes through the year.

How can you compare it with its neighbours?

The The Barat Perhentian resort page lists what we confirm about the other Besar stay in this comparison. Our Perhentian Besar island guide describes the island.
