Best Tips for Choosing Accommodation on Perhentian Island: PIR vs CV

We’re gearing up for an exciting summer vacation to Perhentian Island with the family—two adults and two children. So far, I’ve secured a Premium Beach Front (Deluxe Seaview Room) at PIR and a Premium Garden View (Deluxe Garden View Room) at CV. The room at PIR is 24 square meters, while the one at CV is more spacious at 54 square meters.

From what I’ve read on Xiaohongshu, PIR boasts the most stunning beach, but CV offers superior accommodations. With four of us, I’m concerned that the PIR room might be too cramped, especially if we add an extra bed. However, I really don’t want to miss out on that beautiful beach. I’m reaching out to friends who have visited these places for their insights—what would you recommend as the best option for our family?
