A budget-friendly resort with direct access to the beach like many of the other resorts on the island.
A bunch of friends and I (6 people) only had a weekend to spare and Redang Bay resort was the only one that was willing to modify the 3D2N package to 2D1N. The staff handling their communications(both in Facebook and on call) was very approachable and helpful. They do offer pick up and drop off from/to the Shahbandar Jetty for a price included in the package. But the timings are fixed. Pick up is at 9 AM and drop off at 11 AM the next day- which means we had just about 26 hours in the island. They offer a free Snorkeling trip with the package - we only pay for the rental of the snorkeling gear which is 25RM/head. Snorkeling was fun. The dive centre at the resort also offers Scuba diving. Since, we weren't certified, we had to settle for a shore dive that cost us 190 RM/head. We got to see a lot of underwater life and everyone in the group was happy with the experience. The crew had our backs, literally, and were very helpful and ensured we had a wonderful Scuba experience.
They do have a volleyball court by the beach - you can get a volleyball for a nominal deposit. We had a blast playing it with great views and cool weather and fellow tourists -...A budget-friendly resort with direct access to the beach like many of the other resorts on the island.

The dorm rooms were clean, had Aircon. Towels/body-wash were provided. The WiFi was available but none of us got the chance to use it - so, can't comment on the service. The toilets weren't western style and it seemed like they had just 4 showers for about 20+ people. The resort wasn't crowded so we didn't have to wait but do consider it when visiting during a busy period.
The live entertainment in the evening, the bar, cafe within the premises, the food that came with the package - all ensured we had a relaxed, fun-filled day. There's a souvenir shop too. They don't have lockers in the dorms but they let you store your valuables at lockers with their receptionists.
Sure, the facilities could have been better but for the price we paid,I would definitely recommend this one.More
