Hi Guy's best place to stay on Redang?

Hi Jaime and Suzanne, two notable good hotels on Redang island that I have stayed in are Berjaya Redang and Redang Laguna, and if budget is lower, Redang Tea Chalet is also good.

Check Berjaya Redang, as the last time, when I stayed with them, they offer a good accommodation package plus air package on Berjaya Air, which works out cheaper than booking separately.

Worthwhile to fly straight onto Redang island (flight duration:1hr 10mins-it is a small plane-Dash, departing from Subang Airport) as road journey is rather far,and need not worry about catching ferry transfer from Merang(which if you fly into Kuala Terengganu, you then need a taxi to Merang for the jump off point to Redang island).

We were in Redang in a group of 14 back in 2004 and stayed at the Coral Redang Resort. I believe it has a better ambience than the large concrete hotel that Berjaya is. Coral Redang offers both rooms and chalets detached/semi-d. We stayed at the semi-d chalets and they were great. Our group was a mix of Asians and Westerners and all agreed the food was great. Beach in front of Coral Redang is nicer and calmer as there is a small island directly in front.

The architecture of the chalets are typical Malay style. If you like large hotels then Berjaya is for you but Coral Redang is great for those wanting other than that. Flying from KL to Merang and catching the ferry to Redang is all part of experiencing the culture and savouring the views of the countryside and does not take that long. Go through an agency and you will be taken care of end to end but checkout more than one as prices do vary.

Checkout Redang at http://www.redang.org/ has lots of good info.

Hi Jamie and Suzanne,

I agree that Coral Redang is certainly better than Berjaya as the latter has rather insensitive management and poorly maintained rooms. (read the various complaints from TA especially during the water shortage crisis which was also reported in newspaper).

Berjaya has its own private beach and airport which is great if you are taking their flight package but you are cut out from the rest of the island hence the food option is limited to the resort.

Laguna is cheapest among the three but you will not enjoy much privacy as this resort is popular with large group of families and friends.

had a great time at berjaya (beach not spa) last September, but would suggest you try to get a chalet near the beach rather than be in one of the hotel type rooms. ROom was lovely, but had to trek up and down many steps to get to the facilities. Not a real problem, bu t did mean there was no nipping back to get anything quickly - more scout motto%26#39;s and being prepared.;

lovely private beach and good trips provided.

Hi Jamie %26amp; Suzanne,

For me, best place in Redang would be Coral Redang too. Laguna didn%26#39;t have the ambience of a relaxing holiday. I have written a review on Coral Redang %26amp; Laguna.

But if luxury %26amp; pampering is what you desire, you may have to forgo the azure waters of the islands and stay on the main land at the Tanjong Jara resort. It%26#39;s still a beach resort, minus the crystal blue sea.

However, if you want fun and adventure, I would suggest Club Med Cherating. Beach resort too. But the fun doesn%26#39;t include snorkeling like how you%26#39;ll experience snorkelling in Redang.

Hi Jamie and Suzanne,

I agree that if you look for luxury, fun and adventure, you could try Club Med or Tanjung Jara.

Club Med has mixed reviews but Tanjung Jara is one of the best resort in east coast plus you have the option to move around such as a snorkelling trip to Pulau Tenggol and visit to local markets and villages.

If you are into island escapade, staying 3-4 nights in Coral Redang may do the job.
