Redang Island Hotels with Pools

The hospitality service was great. There was a buggy ride to intro the resort before checking into room Our Garden Suite was huge and clean. The king bed can sleep 2 adults and 2 children. The beach and surrounding was beautiful. We took the 2 stops snorkeling activity. Managed to see the turtles and the coral reef with lots of fishes. Overall a pleasant and relaxing stay for my family

The resort and the beach are both beautiful. Everything went smooth till for check in. After arrived at resort, 11.30am-they served welcome drink-need to register. Later, we can eat lunch 12pm while waiting for the room groom. After finish room is not ready yet while other guest all got their rooms. We got our room at near 4pm. then need to check out before 10am tmr. Can you imagined waiting at lobby for couple hours. Bcs of that, we missed our first snorkling trip, since trip begin 3.30pm. Snorkeling trip too crowded. Packed with ppls. All guests are snorkeling at same check point at same time. Including other hotel's guests. For meal, they recook unfinished food. Morning-lamb grill, lunch-lamb black paper, dinner-lamb black paper mixed with vege. Same goes to their baked beans.

”Sari Pacifica” a brand that USED TO instill so much confidence and standard in the past, has now succeeded TREMENDOUSLY into throwing my expectations into the mud. My 4 days 3 nights stay with my friends and family during the end of March 2022 has made us questioned, whether this is truly the ”Sari Pacifica” we used to know, or did we accidentally checked into a BOGUS hotel in Redang? Mind you, we stayed at the apparently the best option it has to offer, the SEA VIEW Villa. The only FACTOR that allows this ”resort” to have a 2-star rating from me is PURELY AND ONLY because of the friendliness of their staff members, who despite limited in their capacity, tried their best to help us in overcoming the shortcomings of the ”resort”. Upon arrival at Pulau Redang, while other hotel operators have provided staffs to wait and help their guests to carry their baggage into the truck, we were standing BLUR on where we should be going for a while. The 1 and ONLY 1 staff who was waiting for the 20 of us, was only able to help us carry 1 or MAXIMUM 2 rounds of our baggage with his 2 hands. We could only watch with ENVY, the guests of other hotel operators, as me and my wife carried our 1 year old girl under the hot island weather, for no less than 30 minutes, while the staff sent the first 10 of my friends to the resort and then came back for the rest of us. If the definition of a Villa is that of its size. Then KUDOS to ”Sari Pacifica” for indeed, the Sea View Villa is huge in its size. But my friends and family as Guests... did not appreciate such a BIG, yet Sandy floor, stained blankets and bed sheets. The en-suite toilet is HUGE with a bathtub that we did not dare to use. I agree though, the view from the Villa is as good as it gets in Pulau Redang. The aircond in my first villa was not working well, and I managed to shift to another room the next night. The food, while I truly did not expect much, having stayed in Redang a few times over a few different resorts, and YET it fell far below my ALREADY low expectation. The first night, we were served grilled BBQ without lights and fans at our tables. Can you imagine? After feedback, the next day onward we were given permanent table position under a WORKING CEILING Fan. There were only 2 or 3 in the entire eating area. You have to feel bad for people who were not so fortunate. A special credit for the F&B manager who tried to make up as best as he could to us, and prepared a steamboat dinner for us on the last night. Overall: Staff: 5 Stars Cleanliness: 2 Stars Value: 0 Star. We paid RM1200 per person for 4 days 3 nights for those staying at Sea View Villa. You can judge for yourself if based on what we have experienced the good and the bad, whether it was value for money. Recommendation: Food: Pelangi resort has good western food in my opinion. Cleanliness: Coral Redang, Pelangi Resort, Redang Beach, Laguna Redang. Value: Anywhere but Sari Pacifica Redang

Located in an isolated part of the island it is best suited for those seeking a quiet time. One 3km paved road leads to Teluk Dalam beach. They do offer a boat service to Long beach. General boat services are very expensive. I found all the staff friendly and helpful. I made a prepaid booking two months in advance and was allocated one of their best sea view rooms as a result. The resort overall is still in pretty good shape given its age. My room was modern looking and decent size. Fitted out with a wardrobe, desks and chairs. The aircon, fridge and TV (with english movie channels) all worked just fine. The lighting was adequate but poor over the work desk. The bed had clean linens and afforded me a comfortable sleep. The bathroom had a segregated shower with hot water and decent watet pressure. As you would expect, toiletries were provided. The balcony had a table and two chairs. Nice to sit and relax particularly when there was a slight sea breeze. The food at the restaurant was okay albeit pricey. I found it amusing that at the free buffet breakfast the Malaysian guests would pile in but come dinner time no where to be seen. Overall, even though this resort was not my first choice, I think it was a blessing in disguise as Long beach was packed with tourists.
