Any tips to take taxi from Kota Bharu Airport to Kuala Besut Jetty ?
Around how much ? Only Airport taxi available ? Anything to share is good.
Thanks.

How many people? You can always ask around whoever else are going and share taxi cost with them. Or you can arrange for transfer beforehand if you have quite a number of people.

Hi guys,

I'll be traveling to Perhentian next 2 days. Still deciding which place is the best to stay.

Prefer quiet and clean beach. Budget would be RM150 per night.

Anyone here can enlighten me ? smile.gif
*
RM150 per night is quite alright. I'm sure you can find many within that budget.

You have to decide Perhentian Besar or Kecik. If Kecik, can go for Coral Bay beach. It's quiet and you can walk over to Long Beach for partying at night.

Otherwise, can just head straight to Besar for a quiet and peaceful beach. Besar is cheaper too.

But I heard Coral Bay beach wasn't that soft ? Is that true ? And for Besar, is that under budget for RM150.
*
Besar is cheaper. Can try Abdul Chalet, it's one of the good value for money ones.
As for soft beach or not, if you ask me, nothing compares to Redang. I guess Long Beach is not too bad, but it's no where near quiet and clean there.

East coast all monsoon. Tioman is open but it's monsoon season. Better you go East Malaysia or Thailand or Indonesia or Philippines.

Too many. Depending on your budget and what you are looking for. Whether you wanna stay on small or big island. Depending you wanna party or you wanna chill or you wanna backpacker style.

Guys im torn between redang and perhentian, 3D2N stay.
For perhentian besar, recommend me a good villa/resort for couple with clean beach view. Budget about 3-500 per night

This one is quite new and looks really good too. Not sure about the price per night. But with your budget, it's on the above average side already.

Guys, I'm planning to go Pulau Perhentian with my parents next month(3 of us) but after reading about it here, I have more questions than answers haha. So I need some recommendations from you guys on where to stay. Here's a little info

Pax : 3
Budget : RM 600/Pax
stay period : 3 days 2 nights
Snorkeling : I prefer shark point & Pulau Rawa
Location : Pulau perhentian or Kecil ( I'm fine with both)
*
Might want to head to Perhentian Besar if you are with parents.
Try Abdul's Chalet. Rooms were spacious and pretty decent for the price paid when I was staying there in 2013.
