Pulau Ketam D'island Beds & Cafe: For Bass-Lovers and Sleep-Haters
If you're looking for a peaceful island retreat with sea breezes and tranquil nights… keep scrolling.
I stayed at Pulau Ketam D'island Beds & Cafe, and while the location is great and the seafood nearby is top-notch, the real highlight was the unofficial rave hosted by the downstairs guests. The party started at 9 PM featuring full-volume headbanger music, and continued nonstop until after I returned from breakfast the next morning. Yes, it was a 12+ hour EDM marathon. Sleep? Not in this timeline.
At 3 AM, I went downstairs to ask them to lower the volume. Multiple times. They responded with the kind of energy you'd expect from people who believe silence is a crime. I even called the host in desperation. The result? The music got louder. Apparently, my plea was taken as a challenge.
So if you're craving a once-in-a-lifetime insomnia experience, this is the place. Bring earplugs, noise-canceling headphones, or just surrender to the beat and join the party. Who needs sleep when you’ve got relentless bass?

Read moreMy go-to homestay whenever I'm in Pulau Ketam. Found out about this place from Pulau Ketam residents. They are always fully booked online so please book your stay at least 1.5 months advance. This homestay is very strategic located, just 1 block away from main street (Jalan Besar 1), super clean and managed by very honest owners. The owners even have their own grocery store called "Kim Chin Guan" on the main street. This is also where you collect your keys upon check-in. I learnt they have 2 blocks (homestay), the other one is beside "Restoran Ah Peng", a review I wrote months before. Super enjoyed my stay...
Read moreThis may be one of the best inn in Pulau Ketam. The owners are very friendly and explain very well about the check-in (you will need to get the key from their shop nearby 金振源). Overall, the room is clean; the beds and pillows are comfy; stable internet connection. They do provide the water dispenser in the facility. Totally recommended.The few downsides are: 1) the sound proof during raining days are terrible (the noise is so loud - suggest for the owner to add ); 2) there is no elevator of course (so may be challenging for those with...
