Glad you liked the pictures! It really is a pretty area. To be
honest it is even nicer than the pictures show!

The only expensive part is flying out to Malaysia, so I guess you will
have to ask you local travel agent about that. The capital is Kuala
Lumpur, from there I went by train which was cheap but I think for a
bit more you can fly not direct to the island but to a near by city
and then catch a boat from there. Transport is generally very cheap
in Malaysia and living expenses too. As for accomodation, when I was
on these islands I was on a budget (backpacking) so it was really
cheap, 60MYR (Malaysian Ringets) per night for a double room, which is
around 7 or 8 USD if memory serves correctly.

However, this does not actually get you something very nice on the
island itself (the Perhentian Islands have some of the worst value
accomodation I have ever seen, particularly in comparison to the rest
of Malaysia) so it is better go a bit more upmarket. I think if you
search on the internet you can find the resorts and their pricing on
line. It is really worth it though as the area is really beautiful
and to spoil it by staying in a run down beach shack (that was my
mistake) would be a real waste! For one or two hundred MYR I expect
you could get something reeeaaaally nice!

Hope this helps! If you have any more questions feel free to ask!
