Peridot By The Sea Redang

A 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.

We had such a great stay at Peridot by the Sea! 🌊✨ The team went the extra mile by preparing beautiful birthday decorations, which made our celebration even more special. Every staff member was warm, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. Thank you for making our stay so memorable. We truly enjoyed every moment and can’t wait to come back! 💙🎂

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.
