Where to stay & Where to eat/hang out :
In Kuala Lumpur :
Reggae Guesthouse : from 60RM to 70RM for a double/twin room – they also have a dorm. Quiet and friendly guesthouse. Open 24/24. Free breakfast and free coffee/tea all the day. All the rooms are with AC.
In Penang/Georgetown :
Tipsy Tiger Party (20, Stewart Ln, Georgetown): dorm 35RM, Double room 80 RM. All rooms with AC. Free breakfast, free water, free tea/coffee all the day and 2 free drinks during happy hours at the Tipsy Tiger bar. For sure the best party guetshouse in town. Not quiet for thoses who wants to sleep early but that’s still my favorite in Penang.
75 traveler’s lodge (75, Lebuh Muntri, George Town, Penang) : Really wellcoming, clean and quiet. Open 24/24. 45RM for a double room.
Red garden Food Paradise : The famous Georgetown food court.
The Daily Dose restaurant (36, Stewart Ln, Georgetown): The house BLT breakfast is amazing
The Weehlers Café (67, Lorong Love, George Town) : a good value for western food.
Where to stay in Perhentian Island :
The Oh La La guesthouse is well reputed for the quality of stay. They provide electricity almost 24/24 each day but they do not have wifi. If you wanna dive they gives you discount on the accommodation price. The team is welcoming and really serious. They do not accept booking in advance and they are ideally located at the middle of longbeach on the small island. And the best is that you have the sea view when you go out of your room. The price for a night is around 40 RM, less if you dive : 25 RM.
Some of my friends decided to stay at Matahari Chalets and Restaurant. They enjoyed their stay. The restaurant is really good and it seems that they provide a free breakfast on the morning. But the chalets, Bungalows and dorms are behind other restaurants so you do not have the beach view.
What you must not miss in Longbeach :
The beach bar - you can not miss it after the sunset. A fire show will catch your attention each night.
The chill out reggae bar (and wifi) - Just be aware that they do not serve alcohol.
The Oh La La beef Burger (and they have beers and drinks)
The Yoga Class on the beach with the sunrise at 6:30 am each morning. If you are still sleeping because of the party the night before, you can join the evening class at 6 pm. The couple who provide the Yoga lesson are really nice and helpful. They adapt the lessons and often focus on deep breathing exercises to increase you abilities to dive. I recommend it.
The romantic beach : you reach it by walking 15 minutes from Longbeach. This is a really nice place, quiet and perfect for snorkeling.
