2009-10-05 23:35:04   drmitha   Great for budget stays. So many activities in Redang that u go to the room dead tired only to sleep. Not worth spending mega-bucks on expensive resorts. Only downside was the food - if ur not keen on local grub, that is (as my son was). Having said that, the BBQ dinner was super. And so were the fresh donuts. But quite a few stalls with inexpensive food going around on the island.... KT and snorkeling transfers were smooth, and we went twice to Marine Park - which has the best underwater life. Saw sharks and a moray eel on the far side at the staff's guidance. Had 5 snorkeling trips in 4 days, and enjoyed each and every one more than the last one. Had a late Malaysian Airlines flight (travel only AirAsia to Redang as timings are synchronized to ferries) and the staff organized it all with a late checkout and ferry transfer to mainland. The icing on the cake was the access to great underwater cameras - RM50/day for 160 pics, and RM10 more for 160 more - including a battery recharge if required. All pics taken at 8MP! Will be going there very soon. Date of stay: 2009 Sep

2009-05-13 08:47:58   JDJT   It was my first time in Redang and going snorkelling. Overrall, the trip was very enjoyable! beach was so beautiful and clean. Will want to visit Redang again someday. Rooms- comfortable and clean. Had the room on 2nd floor, so not much sand in the room. Hotels provides tap to wash feet before entering the room. No TV in the room, but hotel provides alot of activities eg beach volleyball, football, card games, board games and karoke & dancing at night, so you won't need to TV in room! Hotel Staff- very friendly,helpful and multilingual. They can speak good mandarin,malay and english,some can speak cantonese. Snorkelling guides was also very helpful and fun. Stay with them if you want to have a good time and get nice underwater pictures & explanation. Food- you'll never be hungry! A lot of food provided, buffet style. Value for money! Breakfast, Lunch, Tea and Dinner provided in fullboard package. Tea/coffee and some biscuits always available in the cafeteria. Other matters- 1) Hotel had underwater camera for rent. Chargers per day: rm30 (40 shots), rm40 (80 shots) and rm50 (150 shots). Camera battery can only last around 8 hours, so if take pictures, don't preview and delete.. 2) hotel offers half day trips around Kuala terangganu if your bus/flight is at night on the day you check-out. Price rm20/pax (depands on number of people going). Tour includes Museum Negeri, Tmn Tamadun Islam, Cystal Mosque, Masjid Terapung, Pasar Payang, Chinatown. If enough time, maybe will go Batik shopping. Tour chargers doesn't include entrance fee to Museum Negeri (RM2 for Malaysian Adults, RM5 for non Citizens) and Tmn Tamadun (RM10 malaysian, 20 non-citizen). Date of stay: 2009 May

2007-06-18 16:43:42   cha   My stay was good & no doubt, it was a really nice experience being in Redang again. Beach & marine life are lovely but many corals are dead compared with my past trips few years back. Pelangi bathroom was clean and most of the staff are helpful. The good thing about Pelangi which a bit different from other resorts in Redang, are, the supplement activities (congkak, dam, etc) & its 24 hours unlimited drink, biscuits & bread. I find these supplement activities are very useful especially at night since some 'group of guest' love to conquer the karaoke pub & during my stay, they were so rude by shouting & singing loudly while my friends was karaoke-ing. how uncivilised. we felt so weird because the staff didn't do anything about it. Luckily there's a lot of clubs at nearby resorts & we left the uncivilised people & had fun in Laguna, Redang Beach Club etc. Hopefully Pelangi management could teach some lesson to rude guest by let them share facilities with monkey in the jungle. If the condition still the same, my advise to Pelangi future guest is 'take it or leave it'....have fun! Date of stay: 2007 May

2007-05-23 13:08:25   beetee   i went to Redang Island tis May.i felt good that staying at Redang Pelangi Resort. Although the trip needs to wait..i think it's worth for that. The resort has clean rooms especially the bathroom. The workers there all are very friendly, nice and humourous. They gave me a great impression.The food n beverage is also wonderful..they are very thoughtful and detailed. How i would said that? because they alwiz cook the suitable food 4 us..the food would not spicy & can be said 'cold'. it won't make us fall in sick after exposed to hot sun. But, i think the food suitable for chinese because the cuisine all in chinese style. So, i'm very satisfied with my trip at Redang Pelangi Resort. i also recommended this resort to my friends that wants to go Redang soon. U people done a great job..keep on it..if next time i were going to Redang, Pelangi will be my choice again :) Date of stay: 2007 May

2006-08-16 09:26:28   syazleen   Most of the small resorts are built on a beautiful stretch of white-sand beach known as Pasir Panjang, on the east coast of the island. Redang Pelangi Resort is a casual resort-style affair that offers two- and four-bed chalets. There's a full range of kids' activities on hand. Date of stay: 2006 Jul

2005-06-26 13:47:43   zaiferez   i went to redang island and stay at Redang Pelangi resort. The arrangement of the whole package and the flow of the activities were superb. We all arrive at tanjong bus station about 550 am and they pick us up at 630 am. They also provided us with a changing house for us to change our cloth before going to Merang jetty. We went to Redang island with boat and took us about 1 hour. All the food was quite ok but we had to rush for the food because it will ran out quite early. The management should make a coupon style or something. And the other thing is there is no leamonade as shown in the advert. When we ask for the leamonade they said it was for last year. So cuti team should be aware of this particular because guest can cliam for it. The activities we superb and they braunght us to very nice snorkeling spot such as Pulau Lima. And all the employees there are very friendly although we were minority there. Lastly we all hope that they will not gave us the same old room, the room was superb but the view of the room was extremely horrorful. They gave us the last room located beside a swamp or pond that was fill with rubbish. Next to our room was a diesel storage and we suffer from the smells of diesel. I hope that the management can coverup the ugly scenery for a better quality stay at Pulau Redang without soiling our vacation. Date of stay: 2005 Jun

2004-04-05 00:57:58   Patrick Wong   The Pelangi Beach Resort, Redang Island is extremely out of my expectation. It serves good, have a proper planning on our daily activities as well as the food. It seems you can eat and drink the prepared beverage anytime you want. Besides, for the airport passanger. They really take care of them. They even provide the place to rest and take bath in the mainland until your flight time. Pelangi Beach Resort I will be back again!

2004-03-20 10:36:00   Fee   Went there for a group trip. It is the best for anyone looking for best value for money, especially students. Service was not exceptional but satisfactory, all day supply of light food and drinks. However, the BBQ dinner had limited choices and by the time we wanted to eat , around 8.30 the food was almost all gone. They have a nice beach bar/mini disco and a beautiful beach. Recommended.
