Review: I recently stayed at Redang Island Resort for 3 days and 2 nights, and it was a mixed experience. Positives: The resort 's location is great — close to the jetty and nearby food stalls where you can easily order meals. The staff were outstanding — friendly, quick to respond, and even provided a free ride to the marine park. The room was clean, the king-size bed was comfortable, and all amenities like the air conditioning, fan, and mini bar worked fine. The pool was large and clean, and there 's a convenient mini store for snacks. Areas for Improvement: However, the resort itself is showing its age. The toilet wasn't cleaned properly, with hair and grime around the drain. The shower pressure was weak, and the faucet became dangerously hot when using the heater. The wardrobe had a strong, unpleasant smell, and much of the furniture, as well as the chalet, seemed ready to fall apart. The air conditioning compressor was old and lacked a fan cover, posing a safety risk for kids. Rusted metal scraps around the chalet and stairs that appeared on the verge of breaking added to the concerns. The windows didn't close properly, and the door was difficult to lock. The sea view chalet wasn't worth the extra money; The view was disappointing. The restaurant was another letdown — food was expensive and tasteless. I recommend buying food near the jetty instead, where the quality is much better. Breakfast at the resort was similarly unimpressive, with limited and bland options. The mini store was often unattended, making it difficult to pay for items. Conclusion: Despite these issues, I enjoyed my stay thanks to the exceptional staff. However, the resort desperately needs more staff and major renovations. It 's a lovely location with potential, but it 's clear that the facilities need significant improvement.
