Kampung Telaga Mengkudu Vacations from NT$4,891

The beach was clean and pristine. The hotel has a variety of sporting activities you can sign up for and you can also take part in baby turtle release. The hotel staff are friendly. Hotel breakfast buffet is so so. The only downside is the beach has lots of sandflies, two weeks after our return the sandflies bites still itches. Indeed the use of insect repellent is necessary. The hotel does provide repellent near the beach. We stayed in the two-bedroom hillview deluxe room. The room was spacious for my family consisting of two adults and two children. The room does come across as dated and needs some renovation. Some parts of the room (e.g the bathroom countertops) was also not well cleaned so housekeeping needs improvement.

The property is very close to Jetty and they have a van that will drop and pick up from the jetty to hotel. This is the only good part about the property. The property itself is very old and the rooms are sub standard. We had 2 rooms and one of the room AC did not work properly but luckily the ceiling fan was enough for our stay. We had a connecting door between the two rooms and so the AC in other room helped to some extent. The other issue is that the property is very far from the beach. The beach is near the Taaras resort property which is about 4.5 km away and can only be reached if you rent a scooter. The breakfast, as others have mentioned is very bad. We even tried the ala carte lunch but we were very disappointed with the taste and food quality. For the two days we stayed, we actually ate at another resort hotel which was called De rimba resort and they had excellent food. There was another small bakery close to our property called Pink restaurant or cafe I think which is at the entrance of the Jetty and their carrot cake is highly recommended. The property itself is very clean and quiet and the hotel staff was very nice and welcoming. We also had a massage booked but the massage too was just ok for the price. I have had far better massage treatments. Overall, it was an ok stay, nothing that I would remember or recommend if I ever visit Redang island.
