Halal food

Malaysia is one of the easiest luxury destinations for Muslim travellers: the big resorts serve halal dishes; look for the official Malaysian halal logo (JAKIM).
Ask the resort whether its kitchen is halal-certified or just offers halal options; the difference matters to some travellers.
Take care at upscale Chinese restaurants in Kuala Lumpur, some of which are not halal.

Practical tips

Book the resort early for December to March; the best rooms and villas go first.
Ask the resort to arrange the private boat and the Kilim tour; it's easier and the quality is more reliable.
Ride the cable car first thing in the morning, before the clouds and the crowds.
Read cancellation terms carefully; peak-season bookings are often non-refundable.

Entry and visas

MDAC arrival card: travellers fill it in for free on the official site within 3 days before arrival; it is not a visa.
