Top Redang Island Hotels

The hotel is located in a bay, surrounded by mountains and forest, facing north-east, that''s why access to the island tracks is limited. Nevertheless the hotel is offering several hiking tours to see more of that "small" island. More spectacular are the boat-tours arround the island which you can combine with diving and snorkelling, which makes Redang Island attractive for professional divers as well as for beginners on snorkelling. <BR><BR> Other restaurants than as those within the hotel are far away and the way to those locations does not invite for a night-walk at all. Besides, the restaurant inside the hotel is offering great food, Malaysian as well as Japanese, Western and Intl. cuisine. My suggestion, go for the Malaysian food.

The resort''s own beach was immaculate, but one cannot say the same about the rest of the island, especially the main jetty. The water in the bay was full of floating litter and flotsam. Clearly maintenance and environmental attention has not kept up with development. <BR><BR> Also, it was criminal to see other groups of snorkellers behaving badly e.g. even standing on coral to have their pictures taken!

It is a shame that the ferry takes so long. It does NOT take 45 minutes (or 1.25hrs). It takes virtually 2 hrs, far too long. The Round -the -Island snorkelling trip was excellent. It would be good if there was something els efor the children to do when it rains. Bowling? Maybe videos? The golf greens should be better. A lovely course but bad facilities and no one else at that hotel. There should be water-skiing. And even jet-skiing. More Revenue fior the hotel. There should be boogie boards too; they are mentioned but there are none. There should be a far better supply of wine. There was very little available. The coffee was disgusting. As most of your visitors speak English, the waiters should speak far better English. That is half the problem.

If you are a diver, snorkler, or wanna-be diver, the diving is excellent. There are 19 sites around Redand Island, and a marine park. You can also body board (bring your own) and windsurf.
