Hotel Dengan bar di Terengganu, Malaysia

An exceptional stay from start to finish. Perhentian Marriott Resort & Spa exceeded my expectations in every respect. The resort is beautiful, well maintained and situated in a stunning location. The room was spacious, comfortable and thoughtfully designed. What truly sets this property apart, however, is its people. Every member of staff I encountered was warm, courteous, professional and genuinely helpful. It was obvious that the team has been exceptionally well trained and takes pride in delivering excellent guest experiences. The food was consistently good, with a wide selection and quality that complemented the overall stay. As a frequent traveller , I can confidently say that the service culture at this resort stands out. My stay was relaxing, seamless and memorable. Highly recommended, and I look forward to returning. Just a note, in order to get to the 2 beaches, there are stairs and as such, you need to be fit!!! The beaches are pristine , sapphire coloured waters and one could snorkel here. It's beautiful.

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.

Everything was great overall, except for the bedding. It rained on the first night, and the room felt quite damp. The pillow had a strong musty smell, almost like it had been used for years, and I couldn’t sleep properly because of the smell. I’m not sure if the room service changed the bedding the next day, but the following night it didn’t rain and there was no smell. Other than that, everything else was great

The resort at another site of the island, resort itself is good.But one thing is no water supply in certain time, this is the issue you really need to take notes. Very inconvenient even though they will send the water in normal barrel size to the room.but it is really not convenient, especially if the family got children. Please take noted. Service and staff there are good. This is a plus.

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.

I would say the service is improved and much better when compared to last year 2025. I enjoyed staying here, great location and the family room type is comfortable for 2 people because of big bed. However the room no. 611 there are 2 times issues because of the main door broken and got locked from inside, also the bathroom door as well got locked inside because of the door slide.  The foods as restaurant is decent and good potion, a little bit pricey for service taxes 10% and another additional taxes more 8% which mean after your meal you must pay 18% taxes.

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.
