like that , i'm stuck at teluk kalong at nite lo.. happening o not there?? later bored to death..

i m staying redang beach resort. HOw is the night life there?

no one willing to help with my question posted at previous page?

Onizuka:

1) Understand June & July is peak season, how abt during August? in term of pricing & weather?. august weather is fine. pricing is still the same as in jun/july

2) If v going by plane from LCCT - Redang is Kuala Terengganu airport and Perhentian is Kota Bharu rite? yes thats right

3) Does travel agency package include transportation from the airport (shuttle) and (speedboat) to and return from the island? usually it comes seperately in the package. optional. if you want them to pick you up, just add additional about RM 20 -30 from kt to merang and RM 80 from KT to kuala besut

4) Which beach are great for snorkeling? Redang or Perhentian besar or Perhentian kecil? its almost the same everywhere. corals are dying though

5) Which beach are happening during day & night? Redang or Perhentian besar or Perhentian kecil? perhentian kecil long beach, redang long beach

6) Which beach are more peaceful & relaxing ? for me i prefer lang tengah island

Redang Pelangi is ok . not bad and nothing to shout about. Its located beside Redang Bay and Coral Redang. Has a cafe cum pub cum ktv and two small huts selling stuffs. The beach is better then the other side ( Laguna ) because laguna that side has more dead corals on the beach and also the waves are bigger.

About the food no idea.


BBQ normally pre-prepared by the resort which u stay with. Laguna itself has a in-house Disco and KTV which is located behind the reception. Other then that. you could wonder to Redang Beach which is beside Laguna which has a open air cafe like HALO CAFE whereby got ppl sing songs. There's Beach Disco at Redang Bay and also Redang Holiday and also so called pubs in Redang Reef and Redang Pelangi.

just came back from lang tengah last nite.....stayed in redang lang resort.....next time dun go during peak season, too crowded and it's crazy.....the marine park was so crowded tat it actually looks like the movie titanic when it sank and all victims floating on the water with life jackets XD

the beach too much dead corals and painful when walking barefoot...but the sand really soft and white....especially where the blue coral resort was closed down, the sand were like untouched....

will post some photos soon....

...

how much that you spent on your trip?

alot....

package = RM290
peak season surcharge per nite = RM40 x 2 nites
land transfer 2 ways = RM20
marine park ticket = RM5
snorkeling items = RM20
bus tickets 2 ways = RM63.60
underwater disposable camera = RM34.80

not including the tidbits, medicines i bought, and toilet entrance fees they charged

oh.. the blue coral close down already? they arent doing very well when i was there last year. hmm....

yes you are right about the crowds.. i think the waters around the marine park is so thick with diluted sunblock lotion that the corals are dying for sure

yeah closed down already.....although the website said it's closed for maintenance or something, but the place were very run down dun think they are opening back anytime soon...

the water around marine park kinda murky and not nice to snorkel.....and we kept on knocking on other people because it was too crowded.....

may i ask where did u get the underwater disposable camera?
do you have some sample photos u taken? thanks

May I know what to do at Pulau Kapas?

How to go there?

Is the beach as nice as Redang?

any camera shop got sell.....27 exposure only.....i haven't send the camera to develop the photos. they are in film though.....

Pulau Kapas beach is nothing special.. The beach is juz like any other beach although the senery is quite nice... Corals there are not up to standart compared to Redang....

Compared to Redang, Kapas losses out...(although Kapas used to b nice years back)... Probably due to the low mantainence....

Well Pulau Kapas u need to go to Marang to go there..(not typo..Is Marang... )
Merang is where u go to Redang....

Anyone can compare Redang Berjaya Resort n Laguna?

I want to go Berjaya, then my frens said it is very expensive n is not worth, nothing to do, all u can do is same in Laguna...

so...anyone can give me more info about these 2 place?

Just back from perhentian trip. stayed in perhentian island resort. very beautiful beach + clean and clear water. accomodation also good. But the customer service so-so only la

Berjaya is more exclusive(n more expensive,well u can say its the most expensive of all).... Nice But kinda boring as it is the only resort on the beach...They have more facilities la compared to Laguna...
Laguna less exclusive abit than berjaya but Laguna more fun 2 me coz along the beach got other resorts to visit....

yeah.. ijust got back from Redang!! 1 word to describe.. PERFECT

i stayed at Bahtera resort, fairly new resort just beside laguna,5 min walk to long beach via laguna, 5 min walk to teluk kalong.. it's in between teluk kalong n long beach!!.. the price is very very resonable too.

it's a quiet resort wif kampung style karaoke system,outdoor pingpong
table, carrom ...

the thing about staying at small resort is, u get to know each n every staff there up close n personal, tok cok wif them, n request extra toiletries, extra lunch, extra snorkeling session without additional charge..

unlike laguna, or other big famous resorts, when go snoakeling, the group is so huge, sometimes have to go in 2 big boats, bahtera has smaller group, so we go snorkeling using speed boat,

it's truly an unforgetable experience!!

Actually I also wanna know more about Berjaya, because I have a free room for 2 days, but only room, not included food, snorkeling package, etc. Not sure how much gonna need if stay at there. Anyone had experience at Berjaya?

Yeah if u stay at smaller resorts u get to kno the staff better... But even for big resorts u can get to kno the staff well also...

Well... Big resorts usually bring u to better snorkelling place... Well.. usually.. Haha..
Anyways go snorkelling in large group is fun.. U get to kno more ppl...


Berjaya if im not mistaken(coz havent been there in 2 years) they have buffet, ala-carte n food court area...
Well i dun think i need to tell u the buffet n ala-carte r expensive....But the food quality not bad though...
Food court is for budget lor..
