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.

My most disappointing hotel experience

The hotel is in need of a renovation. The first day we stayed we got food poisoning, there are no other dining options that looked enticing nearby so we were forced to eat all our meals at the hotel and it is the worst food I have eaten on this trip. The towels are old and rough, everything is dated and although the team are nice, it cannot make up for the experience. The kids room is dark and dingy, the table tennis rackets etc are falling apart, the hand soap dispensers are broken etc etc

There's just so much good things about Taaras to be told that I don't think I can say everything here. Let me start by saying the staff are all very (I can't find a word for it)...they just make you feel like they've known you for so long like a long lost friend. Their attentiveness, always ready to help you with everything, their smiles, their friendliness. It's as if you're that one special guest that they've been waiting for so long. Kudos to the management for instilling that beautiful attitude throughout the entire team.
Thank you Amira for helping me out with the booking and all.
Special mentioning of Azimah for making my wife's birthday celebration a memorable one. Thank you Daniel and Suhaili for being so helpful and attentive through out the celebration.
Thank you all.

The beach, the sand, the wave. Just out of this world. My family and I come from the West Coast of Peninsula Malaysia and we know we've just spoiled ourselves as after this, we might be unfairly comparing the beaches here and in Redang.

We went for snorkeling too among some of the activities. First timers as we are, it's a lie if I say we were not nervous no matter how excited we were. But the moment you look down at the corals and the busy schools of fish, you will be mesmerized by them that you'll easily lose that sense of time.

Needless to say my family and I will definitely come back here, Insya Allah

Taaras high side is the Caribbean style location, white sandy beach, and nice transparent water.
The hotel is not like in caribe, a bit outdated (rooms) and some people may complain about cleanness, but if you trade off for the location and the fun outdoor activities this is an amazing place

Hits and Misses

We stayed at Taaras for my fiancé’s 30th birthday. It was a combination of hits and misses.

Whilst the hotel itself, activities and beach were amazing, as a luxury hotel it disappoints in terms of service and food.

Food is far below what is expected from a luxury hotel, for the price quoted. It was highly disappointing. Food tasted and we’re presented as more like canteen food than something to be served in a hotel carrying such a star rating.

Service at the restaurants and bar have much to be improved on. We’ve seen numerous occasions of chaos and disorganisation. The staff lacks attentiveness and we found ourselves hunting for attention from time to time.

We also noted that the paper that the hotel used to print our map of the resort had the receipt of a past guest on the other side of the paper (with name, address and all!). A huge breach from a PDPA standpoint and a definitely not something you’d expect from a luxury hotel.

Lastly, the hotel forgot to provide a cake for my fiancé in the room. I’ve emailed them before arriving and they said they will leave a complementary cake in the room, but it never arrived. It all falls back to my point above, ie lack of attentiveness by the staff. FYI - They know it’s my fiancé’s birthday from my emails and her passport info. Also, they even provided an arrangement on the bed stating Happy Birthday. This oversight is clearly clumsy at best.

Notwithstanding the above, the dive team was great.

Fun trip amidst COVID19 restrictions

We made a trip recently to this beautiful resort. It was a trip with 6 families with kids from 8yo to 1yo. We had a pleasant experience. Massage service was wonderful; we had a 20% discount at non peak period. Pool is very kid-friendly with plenty of shallow areas, so we are able to leave the kids alone under supervision from the poolside. Would like it if we have more deck chairs by the pool; it gets taken up quite quickly. Beach is clean, private, calm waters, plenty of deck chairs and shaded area. You can definitely swim around the area with the turtle bay just next to it. They have daily turtle hatchling release; where you pay a fee to release one on your own; else you can stand by the side and watch. I find that the Jojo Playroom is abit too cold for the kids; would like it more if there's more activities planned for the kids in the playroom. Probably my least favourite part of the trip is the food in the hotel; not all dishes to my liking and during breakfast time, the restaurant cannot cope with the crowd, therefore long line at the egg station. Weird enough, their beef dishes are always the more delicious dish during my meals there. You may also opt to eat out; there's one restaurant just outside the gate with more restaurants further down the road. Passenger transfer to jetty was seamless; impressed with their efficiency. Staff members in the hotel are always helpful and smiling. Overall it was a good experience and I'd visit again sometime.

Beautiful place but watch out for the monkeys!

We had a lovely time here however there were a few disappointments. Did not see much social distancing and the breakfast was too crowded with many not following SOP procedures. Some guests crossed the barriers and qere taking their own food from the buffet. Not enough staff to handle the crowd and food was either too salty or bland. The worst was when monkeys got into our room and ransacked our snacks and no one had the courtesy to inform us of the incident. No phone call or note left. We only found out when we got back to the room at the end of the day...we thought we had been robbed! We had made sure and double checked everything was closed tight and locked before we left as we saw the monkeys in the morning but hotel insisted they were in the room by the time housekeeping got in. I have no idea how they got in and the hotel could not explain either. When asked if it had happened before, they didn't reply. I didnt get any apology until i raised the same issue at check out. We weren't so upset about our things going missing, it was more about how the hotel dealt with the situation. Service at other places like the beach bar, turtle and recreation centre was good though. Just Keep all your things hidden and locked, dont have high hopes for breakfast and you should be able to have an enjoyable time!

Beautiful beach and clear waters. But ultimately undone by strange policy to charge for water at the beach bar, and to offer a banana boat ice cream without bananas - right outside the hotel there are shops selling combs of bananas.
Not allowing external transport to enter the lobby was also strange, as if the management did not see the island-wide tourism ecosystem as partners.
Given we were here on promotional rates, I would not recommend at peak prices.

Paradise beach

Taaras is beautifully located in a bay with crystal clear waters and the most gorgeous paradise beach! The property itself is luxurious and well maintained. The staff was very attentive and always eager to please. I was stuck at the beach bar one evening during heavy rain and the hotel sent a (covered) buggy to take me back to my room. But the best part was that I had forgotten my room number and the driver patiently drove me around until I recognised where I lived! On the downside, we wandered out one evening for food and found that the surrounding area could do with some maintainence. For instance, there is a strong odour due to sewage treatment (?) just beyond the the resort gates. Then, it's a little unfortunate the nearby \"kampung\" village seems so detached from the resort. Perhaps one can organise traditional arts/crafts-based activities to engage with visitors more? Still, what a wonderful family holiday! We will never forget it! Thank you Taaras (and the turtles)!

Perfect getaway

Making a trip to The Taaras was the best decision I made for a short get away. The service provided was excellent and I truly want to thank the staff of The Taaras for making my Redang experience memorable, special thanks to Fatimah and Zulriati (the ladies who helped check me in and out) for taking care of me and made an extra effort to make my stay comfortable since I was pregnant. I will never forget their warmth and hospitality, they are the reason why guests would come back to stay at this resort.

The only downside is the food, it needs improvement and would be nice if the price is reasonable. They are expensive and for the most part, tasteless but edible.

Overall, I highly recommend staying in The Taaras, you will be mesmerized by the beauty of the beach and enjoyed the hospitality from all the staff.

I think she needed more training or not suitable to be in the frontline. Other than that, my family had a great time in Taaras.

The hotel is fantastic and the staff all very kind and helpful. Resort has a very nice private beach and lots of activities. Highly recommend the snorkeling with sea turtles boat trip.
Also at the hotel is a sea turtle research centre we were lucky and got to release a baby turtle into the sea.
Drinks are expensive at the hotel. But happy hour go from 9pm to 11pm Food is too but there is a very nice local restaurant about a minute walk from the front gate.
Breakast buffet served in the mornings with lots of variety.

Wonderful resort that is extremely family friendly. The staff at all levels was amazingly friendly, accommodating and helpful. The location is gorgeous, with crystal clear waters, serene private beach and plenty of activities you can sign-up for and enjoy and your own leisure. Rooms are very clean and the beds are very comfortable. Meals on-site are high quality as well.

amazing stay at the most beautiful beach

We had an amazing stay at The Taaras celebrating a birthday - we stayed there for 4 nights, 2 nights at the garden suite and 2 nights at the cliff bay suites overlooking the beach. The view from the deep soaking bathtub from the cliff bay rooms are absolutely amazing, the best view ever. Rooms are spacious and well equipped, food is ok but the beach brasserie has good quality food, and if none of the options suit you there's a local place right outside the resort which has good seafood at a much cheaper price. The resort has lots of water sports facilities, you can even get your PADI license there, but just a note that some people may react badly to sea fleas which my boyfriend did, which is out of the hotel's control. There are great snorkeling sites just off the coast and most importantly crystal clear waters and white sand beaches! Service is amazing, everyone is kind and we had a wonderful time there. Thank you, Taaras!

Amazing beach

The journey was pleasant. We took the public ferry from Shahbandar jetty. Was fetched from the kampung jetty, right on the jetty. Despite arriving early, at 1230pm, we were allowed for early check-in. The check in was quick. Was served with cold refreshing drink and cold towel upon arrival. Room was clean. We choose the bayview room and the view was breathtaking. In room service was ok, food wasnt that great. We went for snorkeling and turtle watching. Brought my 3 years old boy. He was ecstatic to see them turtles swimming around.

Beautiful beach. Hotel pretty bad

Room was dirty, mini bar didn´t work, security box didn´t work. Food menu very limited, service pretty bad, breakfast was good, food and beverages are very expensive considering prices in general in Malaysia. Not to mention that my wife lost her wedding and engagement ring that she left in the room.

Nice hotel close to the local good food

I think Taras is too overrated. Too expansive but very basic still. I’ve been places, the hotel could offer more than this. Front lobby staffs were not that courteous as I even witnessed a foreigner whom had was bitten terribly by sand flies.. instead of showing her courteous she just told her to remain seated. When one is attacked all over her body, swelled up.. no instructions shd be given. Must show empathy only then they will listen to u. Always handle their emotions first.

Lovely Beach

Extremely attentive staff. But the main selling point of this resort is the untouched beach - we had the whole place to ourselves! Food is a bit pricey, but I think that's what you expect from such a resort :) Would definitely recommend if you are in the area and want to just chill by the beach!

Best beach resort in Asia we have ever stayed in.

We were given a room upgrade with amazing views of the beach.
Room was 5 star, beach was incredible.
Resort facilities however were a little dated.

Good resort on a spectacular beach.

We had read bad reports about service at this hotel so were prepared for the worst. We are very pleased to report that other than some very minor glitches, which happen everywhere, we couldn't fault the service at all. It was always very friendly and prompt. It seems that they have recently employed some new staff from hotels in Lombok, and we assume that this must have had something to do with the improvement in the service.

The best feature of the hotel is the beach, which is spectacular. It is pure white fine sand, and slopes down very gently, so I suspect would be perfect if you had kids with you. The rooms are very nice. We had a cliff view suite which was enormous and had a great view of the beach. Large balcony as well which we always like.

The food selection at the restaurants was a bit limited, but not really enough to worry us at all.

One thing that everyone who comes to Pulau Redang needs to be aware of is that there are no ATMs on the island at all. Don't believe anything that Google Maps tells you. We personally visited the patch of grass at the edge of the jungle that Google Maps believes is inhabited by an ATM. It isn't!! The lack of ATMs seemed to catch a few people out other than us. The resort will give you cash on your credit card, but they charge 10% for the privilege.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay here. Very very peaceful and relaxing.

Nice Hotel on a Magnificent Beach

Hotel is located on a superb beach. Friendly staff and great rooms. Normally for a 5 star resort, you don't have to pay for non motorized water sport. It should have been included in the price. The external fascia of the rooms on the hill really needs a good coat of paint.

The welcome lounge at the airport is a plus. The hotel speedy boat is quite bumpy without AC. The public ferry to my surprise is quite stable and comfortable with AC although 15 slower. The room is quite run-down with a humid smell. The fan is swinging... It is not as good as the picture shows and does not worth the price. The hotel food is average. Will not come back again.

Beach is great. There are many activities for adults and kids organized by the hotel to keep you busy. Room is old and run down. It does not worth the price.

Short Getaway to Redang Island

Very clean, comfortable and spacious room. Amazing beach with crystal clear warm, calm aqua blue water and soft, white sand. No seaweed or rocks. Breakfast has good variety and is more like a brunch/lunch. Staff are friendly and helpful. Would definitely go again.

Some renovation and staff training = 5 star resort

Simply stunning location. A little hotel renovation (rooms and landscape upkeep) needed. Despite this, highly recommend.
