Hi there,
Pretty general question....
I'm thinking of staying on the island, most likely Long Beach, for about a month or so.
I was just wondering if anyone could give me the average cost per night, applicable to the cheapest and most basic accommodation available?
Thanks,
Loz

Hi,

Is there many (or even any) rock climbing sites in perhentian? I was thinking of going for a snorkel n rock climbing trip soon.

Hi, i intend visiting long beach around mid october and was wondering what the chances were of the weather still being ok and tne accomodation being open as ive read many places close towards the end of the dry season?

thanks

Hi All,

Am planning to head down to kecil this weekend. I really like Panorama but i understand that they do not accept advance bookings. Are my chances of getting a room there good if i just walk in?

If not, will i be able to get accomodation on long beach if i do not make any bookings for this weekend? Any idea on how to confirm budget accomodation?

Thanks all!

Can someone tell me what Senja Bay Resort is all about with regards to accessablity?

I'm partially disabled so I can climb stairs but it's quite difficult. Also I'm a tad worried about the bathrooms since I did not have a good experience when I went to Tenggol Island. Their toilets were disgusting.

I'm planning to go between late July and early August with some friends. If you have any tips that would be so great!

Thanks heaps!

I was wondering if you had any available rooms for the 20 of may to the 25th of may ? To girls.

cheers Linda

I'll be visiting Perhentian next week and I plan to leave perhentian directly for Singapore. I want to take the train cause it seems to save more time than transfer at KL by other ways. The problem is that the train station is not at Kuala Besut but at Tanah Merah. I wonder if anyone knows how to get Tanah Merah from Kuala Besut? And how long would it take? Thanks a lot:)

Hi!
I'm planning to visit Perhentian on 16-22 October this year, and I'm affraid the raining season will start by this time.
Does anyone know, if it will be still possible to visit the island at this time (I mean if the boats will be still operating) and what is the weather like at this time?
Thanks so much in advance!

Can anyone give me the phone numbers for Express Budaya or Mahligai Express & Mutiara Express? I'm trying to get transportation to Pulau Perhentian from KL. Thanks in advance.

Hello!

Going to Perhentian Kecil in late August/early Sept and wanted to ask whether there are places to store valuables (like lockers) safely in the island? Do hotels/hostels have lockers and are they safe? I would hate losing my passport while snorkelling! Are there any alternatives?

Thanks in advance!

I will visit Perhentian kecil during 8 to 10 May, 2007. according to my research, kecil is better than besar island, and the hotel locate at Longbeach is better than another bay, so I think Lilly chalet is not bad. let me experience.
About dive, only charge 80rm per time if visit the island have not book a backage, traffic can concern with http://www.perhentianisland.com.my/
Maybe will visit besar island from kecil but stay in Kecil is quiet and confortable.

Does anyone know the coach's timetable from kuala besut or jerteh to kuala lumpur?

Hi..!

How about Lily Chalet? Will be going to the island on May. Comparing this to matahari,panorama,mohsin or others budget chalets... Is it a good place n comfortable to stay?....help plssssss...


Thanks!

Hi everone,

I have some questions regarding the perhentians, hope you can halp he,

first I know perhentian kecil isn't opened for tourism all year long. I want to go there by the start of april, is it possible?

I was on the perhentains before, long beach on kecil island, it was about 1.5 year ago. then I payed 15 RM a night for the dorm at, I guess it was, blue lagoon (i suppose it was the name,.. they have a restaurant up the hill with a great view on long beach). Do you know if it's still possible to stay on long beach for such low rates?

Thanks in advance!

hello!

we are looking forward to visit perhentian islands. we were already at d'lagoon in 2001 and it was very quiet, nice beach and beautiful snorkelling. can really recommend it for a relaxing holiday! have seen turtles laying their eggs at night and met nice people.

we first thought to go to redang this time, but after a research on internet we saw that perhentian is fitting better for our holiday.
we like a quiet, relaxing accommodation where you have nice possibilities for snorkelling and just lay lazy at the beach and read a book. in the evening we would like to enjoy good food, and if there is the possibility, drink a glass of wine. we saw that on most resorts alcool is forbidden.

the first ten days of our trip we are going to sabah, then KL, after that we want to go right to perhentian islands.
we plan to go to turtle beach creek for 4nights, then perhentian island resort, and at the end impiani resort. has anobody been at one of these resorts?

or can somebody recommend another resort?

thanks everybody for your answer!!

greeting from switzerland!

Hi ya all!

Does anybody who has been to the Perhentian Island (Kecil or Besa) know if there are any companys/ boatmen who arrange snorkel trips to Redang, Lang Tengha or any good snorkel spots off the islands?

We are planing to go to either Perhentian or Redang but would really like to go join and go on snorkel trips around the islands.

So if someone knows anything about excursion trips on and off Redang and Perhentian please post some information on here, please

I plan to visit Perhentian Kecil from 29. Sept to 01. Oct.
Do you know how the weather might be then? I hope sooo much, that the raining season will not begin..

Hello,

we are going to Malaysia in a few weeks. First we are in Taman Negara for a few days before getting back on the train (jungle train) and going over to the east coast - to the perhentian islands.
So, I know that there is no ATM on the islands. How can we make it? Do we have to bring all the cash to the islands for over than a week???

Is there any chance between Taman Negara and Perhentians to catch a ATM??? And how much do we need for one week? I hope itīs not dangerous with all the money in the pocket...

any advice appreciated

Thanks Andrea

hey there!
any advice from anyone much appreciated - first time travelling solo!

i'm arriving in the area on 10th july...travelling alone for this leg and really want to head to the islands to learn to dive. Keen to meet new people/ backpackers, so i understand long beach on kecil is the place to head? However, bit worried that it sounds like i may not be able to get accommodation at this date....is it likely to be packed and should i stay away for now...?! I read that i can only pitch up and try, but arriving late afternoon and dont fancy sleepin in the jungle..!

Anyone recommend a good/ friendly dive operator as well..

advice much appreciated!
