Mersing District Holiday Rentals

"A new low in ‘hotels’. Avoid. Not a hotel but some rooms above an all night cafe. To be fair, the room appeared to have been cleaned and the bedding was clean. Problem was the building and rooms themselves were so poorly maintained and there was a problem with mould in most areas. Holes in walls. Tarnished mirrors…the list goes on. I even had to go downstairs to ask for toilet roll. Door security was poor - weak lock and broken latch. I arrived late, was only staying one night and off very early in the morning for ferry. Otherwise I would have left and slept in my car if no alternative. I have stayed in similarly cheap hotels in Mersing which were clean, pleasant and had at least basic amenities. "

"Not direct beach front, need to walk"

"We absolutely loved our stay here, it's such a beautiful resort and the service is excellent. The pool is wonderful and always plenty of sunbeds. The food is great, with two restaurants to choose from and a good variety on the menu. The buffet is quite expensive compared to the a la carte menu. We enjoyed the pool bar and beach bar and selection of cocktails. We loved our trial diving and our snorkeling trip, where we saw small sharks and a turtle. There's a buggy service to take you anywhere around the hotel at any time. I also enjoyed the free yoga class next to the sea. Service everywhere is always brilliant."

"We enjoyed our stay at the Barat, and thought it was good value for money. We stayed in a family room, it was clean and comfortable apart from a few ants running around. It was great to have a pool, but the pool needs a bit of maintenance as there are tiles coming off and the sides look like they could do with a clean. We used the sun loungers around the pool which are a bit hard but there seemed to be enough of them as the pool was never over busy. The restaurant had a good menu with a wide choice of meals to cater for most tastes including western options. We also walked out to a lovely local restaurant for several dinners, Almond Beach. Overall a nice place to spend a few days."

"The hotel was nice and the staff were lovely, and extremely helpful. The breakfasts were great and there was a great choice of food for other meals. The dive centre was brilliant and extremely accommodating. We had a fantastic week. Thank you. "
