my gf coming to malaysia in 10days...
we've been to langkawi, now wanna try to go to redang or perhentian.
which one is the best?

I vote for Redang.

and the reason is............?

More privacy, clean

oraite. thanks

Perhentian only for angmoh. Over rated actually compare to redang. More nicer resorts in redang compare to backpacker al cheapo chalets wth sub par acc in perhentian. Nevertheless angmoh luv perhentian bcos the whole place full wth angmohs. Redang more asian

As stimix said, redang more asian, perhentian more ang moh.

Perhentian you can walk in choose your accommodation if no peak period, food sendiri cari as many restaurants along the beach. Redang mainly all sold in packages include food, ferry, accommodation, snorkeling trips by the hotel.

Redang resorts are better quality. Perhentian resorts more basic style.

Redang long beach has quite some happening stuffs at night, but Perhentian long beach is more happening. Perhentian has a few beaches, so you can choose which beach to stay. Redang has one main long beach and a few hotels on more secluded beaches.

Anyways, both Redang and Perhentian is very very different compared to Langkawi.

means redang full of asians? never been to redang before nor perhentian.. i would like to like if just stay one place, no need transport to go here and there

I prefer perhentian kecil.

al right, thanks for the feedback. what i see, redang is more peaceful than perhentian aite? more relaxing?

You want relaxing, go to Perhentian Besar island or go to one of those resorts with more secluded/private beach on Redang.

Redang has better resorts.perhentian has better choral reef when u go snorkel.if gf adventurous go perhentian.if gf sked toilet cannot pump, go redang.

tioman win
then perhentian
then redang

redang for party. Perhentian for peace and quiet.

May i also suggest Pulau Rawa. Gooding place. abit over price and never go on friday saturday sunday. singaporeans will come party. very loud and annoying.

personally i go beach to relax and enjoy the sea. away from rubbish hitz fm edm. perhentian over redang.

ur gf from where ?

im going to redang next month..never feel so sad..

what about shopping ... redang or perhentian

redang uolls. feels like dun want to leave. but so expensive so leave fast fast

Yea wanted to go to redang... But it looks like fully booked already for the time period we wanna go

What about Tioman?
Its so great I go there every year despite not been to Redang or Perhentian yet.

Got any recomended travel agent? Or the place to stay there?

This is where I often stay the last time, and they don't dissapoint.
Cater to Singaporean travellers on a weekly basis, and iinm belongs to a Singaporean owner, so you can be sure that the standards are really high. Surprisingly, I find that the price isn't too expensive.
Food spread is really delicious, especially noon lunch.
Chalet is really nice, and has that local touch. Beds and chairs are mostly handmade out of wood and bamboos right behind their resort. Beach is amazing!
And its very nice to stroll along the beach where shops and houses and scuba centers are abundant. At the end of the walk, you have the jetty to hang out and just enjoy the breeze or watch the fishes clear as crystal under the water.
Night time is lively with local shops selling some burgers or ala-carte food at reasonable price. Expensive? Definitely not, just slightly by a few cents compared to mainland.
I can talk all day about Tioman...but I guess you just have to see for yourself.

PAYA BEACH RESORT

How about lang tengah? between of perhentian and redang. LEss tourist.. and non of that disco thing in redang. But if you want nearby and nice.. can do a bit extra.. try koh lipe. Also nice.

wow, you really love tioman. i never been there, will go there IF still got any room available. haha. btw, thanks for the recommendation.. you made me wanna go there, haha.

redang no room available laaaa

koh lipe looks really really nice, but how to go there?

mabul kapalai... best...

Best thing about Redang is you can actually fly there.
