Budget guesthouses on the Bukit Peninsula are often tucked away in the inland hills away from the ocean, so factor in the time and cost of renting a scooter for daily trips to the surf breaks. You can save quite a bit by checking in on weekdays, when owners are much more open to negotiating rates than on weekends. Before booking, check recent reviews to make sure the air conditioning runs cold and the fresh water pressure is good.
