Hotels With bar in Terengganu, Malaysia

We had an overall great stay at the Perhentian Marriott Resort. The property itself is beautiful, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the island is absolutely stunning. The snorkeling experience was incredible and one of the highlights of our trip. Breakfast was also excellent every morning, with a great variety and quality of food. I also want to give special thanks to the manager for arranging birthday decorations in our room. It was such a thoughtful surprise and made the celebration feel extra special. We truly appreciated the effort and hospitality. Unfortunately, the dining experience was consistently disappointing on both nights of our stay, especially for a 5-star Marriott resort. We made birthday dinner reservations in advance, only to be told when we arrived that our reservation was no longer available. After finally being seated, it took over an hour for our food to arrive. We were also told that cocktails were not being served. When I asked the manager why, he didn’t know the reason either. After he spoke with the restaurant staff, they suddenly began serving cocktails, which made the situation even more confusing. To make matters worse, our waitress forgot part of our order, and overall the dining staff seemed disengaged and unwilling to help. The level of service simply did not reflect what I would expect from a Marriott property. It’s unfortunate because the resort itself is outstanding. The beautiful location, excellent breakfast, amazing snorkeling, and thoughtful birthday room decorations made our stay memorable. However, the food and beverage service needs significant improvement to match the quality of the rest of the resort. I hope management addresses these issues, because this property has the potential to deliver a truly exceptional 5-star experience.

On our first day, the coffee machine wasn't working, and the bed sheets had a few stains. We mentioned it to the staff, and they immediately came to fix the coffee machine and replace the sheets. The issue was handled quickly and professionally, which gave us confidence that they genuinely cared about their guests. Throughout our stay, everyone—including the hotel manager—was incredibly attentive. They regularly checked in to ask if everything was okay, whether we needed anything, and if we were enjoying the food. We always felt well looked after. Before arriving, we were a little worried because we had read some rather mixed reviews online, especially considering the price. However, our experience was completely different. The food was excellent, the facilities were well maintained, and the staff went above and beyond to help us with everything—even assisting us in finding a nearby clinic when we needed one. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and felt very comfortable throughout. We would happily recommend Peridot Resort to anyone visiting Redang Island.

We had a wonderful stay and were truly impressed by the hospitality. All the staff were attentive, friendly, and always ready to help. The resort offers a beautiful view and is the perfect place for a beach getaway. The breakfast was delicious, although the selection was somewhat limited. We also enjoyed dinner at the restaurant by the river, where the food was excellent. Special thanks to Chef Ann for recommending some delicious dishes. There was a minor issue with our room during the stay, but it was handled professionally and resolved promptly by the hotel team. We greatly appreciate the efforts of all the staff, especially Mr. Ong and Ms. Liza, for their exceptional service and warm hospitality. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so enjoyable. We look forward to returning in the future.

The customer service and hospitality are very good from the driver that took us from jetty, the receptionist and those at the restaurant. However, I must say the food was terrible. The food had no taste. Especially if you are having dinner at the restaurant, I felt the food was heated from morning menu. It didnt taste fresh. Coming from local, I would expect the food from island resort would meet an expectation of international tourist who wants to enjoy local food. I would not recommend the restaurant.

The hotel having a lounge at Terengganu Airport is a huge plus! Upon arrival, the lounge staff were incredibly helpful and quickly arranged our transfer to the jetty. Once we reached the island and checked in, everything was meticulously organized, with staff collaborating efficiently to manage all our bookings. Saiful, the restaurant manager, thoughtfully added me on WeChat to arrange our themed dinner, which was a very nice touch – thumbs up! Our customer relations manager, Hamdan, followed up throughout our stay, assisting with activity arrangements, answering all our questions, and checking in daily to see how we were doing, making us feel right at home – another thumbs up! Finally, I have to mention the fantastic location of The Taaras! The private beach view from our cliff suite was absolutely stunning! The room was spacious and well-laid out; our whole family loved it! With all the facilities at the hotel, there's no chance of getting bored. A tip for future visitors: the hotel has its own private airstrip on the island. Next time we come to Redang, we can fly directly from Kuala Lumpur with Taaras Air, saving us the hassle of the boat journey! All in all, The Taaras is the top choice for Redang Island!

The facilities show that the hotel is quite old, which is evident from the wooden doors and furniture. It's roughly equivalent to a 3-star hotel in China. Hygiene: It was just okay, as there were still black marks on the sheets that hadn't been washed off. The restaurant serves Muslim-style food. People from China might not be used to it. You could try eating in the nearby Chinatown instead. Service: Excellent! In the morning, we were taking too long to get a Grab, so we asked a staff member to call a taxi for us. They immediately found a taxi that arrived in five minutes. Many thanks!

The hotel os great, if you want that sea view, you will be walking up a lot of steps. Being an all inclusive, we took the basic all inclusive package. The food was delicious. Good selection for lunch and dinner. Breakfast was ok. The sunset bar is available if you miss lunch. Good facilities. Staff were great, special shout out to Athira at the sunset bar, she is lovely and the lunch/dinner staff. A few hiccups with the reception, but was all sorted by the manager. Double check room prices for extensions, boat prices etc. I would recommend this hotel. It is quiet and wonderful for couples. Water taxis are readily available to move around the islands tor day trips.

The room is large, with a courtyard, and a little bit of a Maldivian feel, but no hair dryer was found. The food is good, the taste is OK, the ingredients are fresh, and it is slightly more expensive than other nearby restaurants. The service is still quite enthusiastic, especially the on-demand food service staff for breakfast, who are very enthusiastic and proactively ask if there are any dishes that need to be ordered. Proactive service is precious and feels very good. However, the front desk service is perfunctory, seemingly enthusiastic but not solving the problem. After waiting for a long time, no one took the initiative to tell us that we can check in. We went to the front desk to ask, and a few chatty waitresses smiled and said that it was ok now. When we left, we missed the boat because the front desk arranged to wait for the water taxi. Obviously, we were very anxious and asked many times, but the front desk told us that there was no problem. The boat is often late. I asked them to call the shipping company to inform us that we have not boarded the boat yet, and I guess there was no communication. I was speechless. The service to customers should not be just superficial enthusiasm. I hope to really solve problems for guests instead of creating problems.

The hotel facilities are comfortable and well-equipped, providing everything a traveler might need during their stay. The location is excellent. Although the waterfront area is reserved for boat mooring, one of the most beautiful beaches on the island is within walking distance, where you can even spot sharks and sea turtles. The staff are outstanding: always friendly, cheerful, and able to create a very relaxing atmosphere. The restaurant offers a varied menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the dining area boasts incredible views, making every meal a memorable experience.

By Redang standards, this is an affordable option. The room needs an update, especially the toilet and shower. I understand the hotel has a new owner who is gradually renovating the rooms. For a family of 5, it's an excellent room – plenty of beds and a two-level layout (the kids loved it), clean bed linen, a well-functioning air conditioner, and a small terrace by the room where you can dry clothes. A mini-fridge and bathroom amenities (shampoo, soap, etc.) were missing.
