Redang Island|2.97km from downtown
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)
