    Hello I will be in KL for 3 to 4 days. So should I go to Genting islands or some other beach. I have three kids age 10 to 12 years. Where would they enjoy the most? Plus it should be affordable.

    Hi Roy,
    If you have at least 5-6 days, i would suggest you to do a combination stay in Perhentian and Redang, both islands are separated by 1 hour boat. In these two islands, you find mostly beautiful pristine beaches, stunning underwater marine life and laidback lifestyle.

    If there is only 3-4 days, Perhentian should be your ultimate first choice.
