Hotels near Redang Long Beach, Redang Island

We extended our stay on the island for one day, but all the hotels were complete, this was the only one with wide availability, then we realized the reason for it, our night was a hell. The resort is old, but is not treated in the most absolute way. It consists of some wooden boxes with axles so badly put, that from the floor you see the underground ... invasion by waste and then by animals. Among the boxes there is one with the gleamed roof ... is that where the staff sleeps (see photos). The bathroom is the worst thing: dirty, full of muffle, small (the shower is above the toilet), with the dirty and red-wheel toilet box, which makes it stupid just to see it, imagine touching it. Of course it smells to be bad and there are problems with the swamp, which is badly discharged and continues to emit sinistre noises (I swear, all night). The wooden boxes have a kind of soft ... we didn't get up from fear, as the first floor was already INVASO by GIANT RAGNI. For all response, the staff laughs in the face of the client, saying that there are insects on an island is normal. And they give a spray, which has no other function, but to stain the rabbits and make them move inside the room (we couldn't kill them, they were too big). The receptionist (a girl who speaks a sneaked English but always laughs in the face) told us and other customers that it would rain from there a little bit, so the animals would be out. It was never seen rain, but the animals, they are. I remember that we stayed 5 nights at Sari Pacifica just a little further, where we didn't even see a insect. Linen and towels only on request, dirty. The sea sticks not even talk about it. All this for €82 per room, not even little. Sure, because they know that who books there has an alternative to sleep on the beach. Thought us well before booking here. Redang is a Paradise, but it risks becoming a hell. You're changing period, or island, and this place, as it is, should be closed.

The resort and the entire staff are just amazing. If you are looking for an island get away - this is the place to be. The private beach is stunning, and no needs and demands were left unsatisfied. The rooms are clean and tidy and the beds are extremely comfortable. Just bear in mind that the island pretty much consists of this resort, especially during monsoon season. There is not much else to do (except for snorkeling and diving) - it’s overall beautiful if you’re looking for relaxation in paradise.

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.
