Dont bother staying at Redang Island Resort.
1) Overpriced. RM510 per night for a room that is old. Not worth it.
2) Far from beach/ restaurants. The nearest beach is a 1 hour walk. And they dont provide complimentary transport service to the beach. Poor.
3) Nosiy. Everytime the person staying upstairs walks, you hear it. And the connecting door to the adjacent room cannot be locked. And one night the person next door accidentally opened the door to our room. WTF.
4) Staffs. Giving contrasting info. Not helpful.
In conclusion, dont stay here. Even the dive instructor that we talked to said there are other better options out there.
Hope this is helpful for you guys. Cheers.

Redang Island resort was one of the first resorts in Redang and has a great view on the hill overlooking the main harbour / port. Whilst not directly on the beach it does offer morning snorkel trips (10am to 1) and an evening transfer to long beach for dinner options (6-10pm), both of which should be taken up since the highlight of Redang is its snorkelling and beach vibe.

Dinner at RIR was not great with an uncooked fish and chips (also missing the lemon noted in the menu as there was none in stock) whilst the beef burger was not great. Maintainace is clearly an ongoing issue with the room having problems with its shower & hot water whilst the pool was not fit for swimming (irrespective of the snake we saw both mornings by the loungers!).

On the more positive side the transfers were well managed whilst the staff were keen to help albeit constrained by what they could actually do

Rooms on the sea side are significantly better than the forest side given views and light.

Rating is a generous average (3stars) but it deserves better than poor (2stars)

The food selection is very limited and tasted horrible. There is no hot water in the shower and it is just overall uncomfortable staying here. There is only one transport to long beach at 6 pm and can only go back at 10 pm. I feel like I am living in survival mode. What was supposed to be a relaxing trip was very dissapointing.
