Guest UserOverall, it was great value for money. We booked a family suite, which turned out to be a connecting room with a king-size bed and a living area, plus a standard twin room. The room was incredibly spacious – listed at 79 square meters, but it felt even larger – and had fantastic views from the window. Soaking in the jacuzzi tub was pure bliss. The hotel service was also excellent; the shuttle service was always waiting for us ahead of time. Although it's a 2012 hotel, it's very well-maintained, and the room facilities don't show their age.
The only two things we found challenging were the mattress and the dining options. My husband and I are used to firm mattresses, and the hotel's beds were a bit too soft for us to get used to. As for dining, there's only the hotel restaurant, and nothing else to eat nearby.
Overall, we were very satisfied.

Mel1A Resort with Great Potential, but a Very Disappointing Stay
Peridot has one of the nicest, quietest, and most beautiful stretches of sandy beach in Redang. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives ended for us.
The resort has tremendous potential, but it is let down by poor maintenance, limited food choices, and pricing that simply doesn’t match the overall experience.
Our biggest disappointment was the villa. Despite paying over RM1,000 per night, the spacious villa was fitted with only a single 1.5HP air-conditioner. The room was unbearably hot throughout our stay. We had no choice but to drag our beds directly in front of the air-conditioner just to get some sleep. We made repeated complaints over three nights, but unfortunately nothing could be done.
On our first day alone, we had to request repairs for the leaking bidet, faulty shower head, rain shower, and several other maintenance issues. While the staff responded promptly and were always polite, there is only so much they can do. The underlying problem lies with the overall management and upkeep of the property. Even the reception aircond is leaking 🫣
The swimming pool also deserves immediate attention. It is widely known among visitors staying at other resorts in Redang that Peridot’s pool is often dirty and murky. Ironically, the seawater at the beach looked much cleaner than the pool itself.
The restaurant was another letdown. The menu was very limited, yet prices were among the highest on the island. Even the breakfast selection was disappointing and did not reflect the premium rates charged by the resort.
What surprised us most was that many neighbouring resorts, despite having beaches that are not as beautiful as this one, felt much more vibrant, lively, and better maintained.
After travelling to many countries around the world, it is genuinely disappointing that one of our most memorable negative hotel experiences happened in our own country.
I sincerely hope someone from the company reads this review. This resort has enormous potential but requires significant investment in maintenance, facilities, food quality, and overall guest experience. More importantly, it needs an experienced hotel manager who can revive and properly manage what could easily become one of Redang’s best resorts.
Malaysia is well known for its hospitality. Please don’t let such a beautiful property tarnish that reputation. With the right management and commitment to improvement, this resort could truly become something exceptional.

Felix1368This was my first time staying at (Redang Island Resort), and while the accommodation was okay, the bathroom was a major issue. The showerhead kept falling off when I tried to adjust it, and when I rinsed the corners of the bathroom floor, a lot of dirt came out. The soundproofing in the room wasn't great, probably because it's a wooden building. It's not a lively area. Compared to Laguna, it's a world apart. Renting a motorbike for RM60 a day isn't worth it, as there's nothing much to see around here anyway. All the food stalls outside are 'mamak' stalls, and they charge exorbitant prices. The food options at the hotel are also limited. You're pretty much confined to the hotel grounds. To get to the beach, you have to go down a flight of stairs, which is definitely not suitable for elderly people with mobility issues. I won't be coming back next time. If you're looking for a quiet place, then this resort might be an option. My advice for anyone coming to Redang Island is to stay at a hotel in the Laguna area, as there are so many food choices, and it's much livelier with more activities. Most importantly, an all-inclusive hotel with three meals a day is ideal, especially on an island. You don't want to come all this way just to eat at 'mamak' stalls; it's not worth it. I have a lot more to complain about, but I'll stop here.

The hotel is satisfactory and near to Kuala Trengganu.Even though we checked in late but the hotel’s staff is easy to contact. The cleanliness is very satisfactory. The price is reasonable. We checked out early in the morning and easier to us just drop the key inside the box.We were in a hurry to get to the jetty..Stay 1 night there for a walk around KT before going to redang island.

Guest UserSo happy to have spent my time on Redang Island at De’Rimba. Thank you to the wonderful staff who are the friendliest people i appreciate everything they have done to make my time here the best i could have imagined!
My room was one of the top huts which had a comfortable queen size bed, TV, iron and ironing board. The bathroom was a bit smaller than what i was expecting in that i thought there would be more room to shower in, but it was fine by me as i was able to use it with no problem. The hut has a balcony which is nice to sit in and chill after coming back from the beach.
The food was so tasty and i was so relieved that they accept card payments because i forgot to take out money from the ATM before going to the island.
100% coming back to stay at De’Rimba in my next trip to Redang :)
