If travelling by bus, make sure you arrive in Lumut, in time for the two hourly ferry to the resort. Be warned the bus will take up to 5 hours from KL (it travels via Ipoh). We decided to fly back from Pangkor, (the airline is Bejaya Air) and fly a 4 engine DH Dash-7, 5 days a week from Sebang (the old airport in KL).

Do not rent bicyles unless you are very fit (steep hills). A motorbike is a better option to get around the island.

The location is very private so we were not worrying about overcrowded beach even though it was the very peak season of the Chinese New Year when we got there. Transportation to the nearby town was a bit difficult since the Resort didn't provide charter service, but rely mainly on the third party cab and taxi service.

Travelled extensively by car throughout Malaysia, visiting Johor Bahru, Melaka, Kuala Lumpur, Fraser's Hill, Cameron Highlands, Langkawi and Penang. Regrettably the overall standard of discplined driving leaves a great deal to be desired and seemed to me to be the cause of many accidents. I would recommend that only very careful, confident and observant drivers undertake such a trip.

If you take a taxi from the Pan Pac resort, be sure to arrange a 'round trip', as taxis are hard to come by.

Pangkor is a quiet and paceful island. There are not much things to do besides water sports / water related activities.
The seafood served by restaruants within the Pangkor town area (especially the Ko Lou Restaraunt, just next to Coral Bay Resort)is excellent, in terms of freshness, taste and very very (extremely) value for money (would not like to use the word, cheap, because it does not make the food sounds nice).
Besides, the taxi drivers are all very friendly and the rates charged are very reasonable (especially for group of 4 and above). It was surely a good experience sitting in their cabs.

Going around sight-seeing on the island was quite easy with so many taxis (or vans) made
available. Besides the rental of bicycles,
hopefully vans/small cars or even motor-cycles can rented out as well so that one can arrange his/her own time going around the island more leisurely and enjoyable.
