Beaches are gorgeous, water is clear, hawker stalls serve great seafood, but expect sudden downpours. Three nights was just right.
Book island hopping from Pantai Cenang early in the morning, haggle the price, and bring your own snorkel, tours often skimp on gear.
Very humid, mosquitoes relentless. Beaches are lovely but crowded at peak times, we were surprised by the tourist stalls.
Getting around felt slow if you expect city efficiency, but the unhurried pace was part of the charm. Not ideal for tight itineraries.
Nice chill vibe, perfect to unplug. Not much nightlife though, we left looking for more culture after four days.
