tioman - more fishes...and bigger too..but beach not nice...

batam - been ages ago..but cheap spa....heard that pedi + mani + hair treatment + body massage only $90

bintan - exp exp exp...beach not nice...sea water not blue...haha

Oh wow, thanks for the insight man. You provided more info that hours of searching on tripadvisor to really find out whats really going on.

Ok I hope you dont mind questions.

Does Redang have a night life? I heard Tioman dies off pretty early into the night, as in there arent like beach pubs.

Bintan expensive as compared to the other 3 or compared to singapore prices?
