    We booked the cliff bay suites and the view was splendid. The room area was enough for my toddler to run around.

    The place is definitely not value for money. The food and accommodation are really overrated for the value it costs. We have experienced much more 5 star rated hotels that are more fairly priced. The food price for local food nasi goreng kampung and nasi lemak costing more than RM50 was totally unacceptable. A better pricing strategy would attract more visitors and be more practical.

    It was the best customer service ever experienced. The staff was extremely accommodative, lovely folks, and that actually really defined the wonderful experience, right from the time we arrived to the time we left. Special thanks to Melissa, Anita, Adiba, Yana and others who made out trip a lovely experience. 😍

    The food and drink was a bit pricey, and we wished there was a little more vegetarian options. The breakfast buffet was the same each day and we wished they could have switched it up a bit, but all in all, we were satisfied.

    The beach was amazing, the water and the view were also very impressive. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They even helped us with a small birthday cake for our son's third birthday.

    Being in an island, food outside the resort was limited. Being a 5 staff facility, I did expect better variety and quality from the buffet spread. Although they did offer to make any dish requested. Should improve in their cake and pastry quality. Also, if you are late to the buffet, some food and drinks were not replenished. The resort is also facing issues with sand flies. They are notices placed about it for us to understand. Unfortunately my family and I came back with bites all over our legs. Even after a week, we are still dealing with the terrible itch from the bites. Not a pleasant experience.

    Excellent facilities. Lots of activities for the whole family. Staff were wonderful. Very professional. All were very friendly, from top to bottom. View and location was amazing.

    Our stay at the Taaras resort has been 11 out of 10. Firstly, I would like to mention how beautiful the actual island is and the bay where the resort is located. Crystal clear turquoise coloured waters of the South China Sea, and the soft white sand can’t leave you indifferent. The beach is very well taken care of by the Taaras resort. Mind you, it’s a closed bay - for Taaras guests only; meaning no strangers, no crowds. The staff of the Taaras Beach & Spa resort have been beyond exceptional. Every single one of them. I was stunned by their friendliness, professionalism, attentiveness and their willingness to do their best to accommodate us. I did have some special needs due to health issues, and I received the best attitude. Anita, Florina, Samantha, especially Anita, have been assisting me virtually every step of the way, which was extremely comforting, I am very grateful for their kindness and care. Buffet breakfasts were included in the room rate, lunch and dinners were paid separately, the food has always been freshly cooked and delicious, making it way too easy for us to overeat. Speaking of our room, upon arrival the resort kindly provided me with an upgrade, and the room we got was just spectacular, very spacious, with a breathtaking view of the cliff and the beach. It was beyond amazing and it seriously contributed to our level of joy, many many thanks. The resort offers enough activities. I chose to do one-stop snorkeling, which was just ideal for me, not too short and not too exhausting to the point of irritation; I enjoyed it immensely. Our instructors who escorted us by boat, were super professional and alert, carefully looking after every participant of the trip. Overall, this was the exact experience and mental de-stressing I was looking for, and the Taaras Beach & Spa resort has generously provided it. Thank you so very much and wish you all the best.

    The karaoke to upgrade with more songs. The pothography session, there are room for improvement.

    First of all, I enjoyed the land transport from jetty to the resort. Then the welcome iced kalamansi drinks. Attended by dedicated Mr Saiful for the checking in part. I love the room. The beach. The bar. The dining place. The shop. The lounge. The buggy.

    If anything, a longer happy hour would be great :)

    I must say bravo to the Taaras staff! It's fairly common to meet a few nice staff, but in Taaras, most staff if not all are wonderful - well done! From the jetty to the resort was well organized. Checkin was quick and comfortable done at the lobby sofa. Room was ready even though we arrived a few hours earlier. Both rooms that we got were spotless. Strong Wifi connection. The casual wild monkeys roaming around the veranda was a fun moment for the kids. At the restaurant almost every time the kids will ask for chocolate drink which the staff happily made for them even though its not in the buffet menu. The yoga and Zumba session was brilliant, the kids and wife loves it. Again, massive thanks to the staff for making our vacation such a lovely moment. Staff at the jetty, buggy drivers, cleaners, front desk, restaurants, and to the organizer of the new year celebration - you guys rocks!

    since I set foot on Redang Island, I have been treated very well by the executive manager named Cik Syeda. She has given a very clear description of the situation around The taaras. The most meaningful is that cik syeda remembers each and every one of the client that stays there. At Asean Cafe, I was greeted by Cik Azimah who was very concerned about the food while we were there. The sand on the beach is very fine like powder and the water is very clear which anchors my family's heart. the room’s given is also very beautiful with the beauty of the seaview which is very beautiful
