Amazing location with crystal clear water. Wonderful service! The staff are very helpful!”
l would strongly book the Taaras hotel with tranfers as well. They are very organised and their lounge is wonderful. The staff are well trained and are always friendly and willing to assist at all times. The beach is just Amazing with a capital A. The breakfast is nice and there are options for lunch and dinner. If you book a half or full board, just keep in mind that it excludes all types of drinks. Breakfast does have some juice to choose from though. Overall, Redang lsland is amazing with the Taaras providing great accommodation.

PERFECT!”
Love the warm hospitality! From the airport lounge, to boat transfer & during the stay, hospitality was superb! All staffs were super friendly and ready to assist you anytime.
A private beach just for resort guests and not overcrowded. Super clear water, you can see some small fishes swimming by the shore.
Recreational activities arrangement were very smooth & professionally handled.
Gave 4 stars for cleanliness as our room bedsheet, pillow & towels have some stains on it, even right after housekeeping.
Other than that, I will definitely come back to stay at Taaras!

Still the best in Redang”
Wonderful private sandy beach. Besides the pasta which was tasteless, the burgers & pizzas was especially excellent at the beach Bayu Bar Restaurant. Breakfast selections not bad but can always be better. Dinner at Brasserie was quite good. Staff was very attentive and well trained. Many thanks to Mr Zubaidi - F&B Manager who was very splendidly friendly. He really made the difference from my last stay in Aug 2008. Will definitely come back again.

Gorgeous beach, beautiful hotel, but must improve the food”
We've just returned from a 6 day stay at the Taaras. What a gorgeous setting this resort has! One of the finest white sandy beaches that easily compares with the Maldives, except the waves are stronger. The Taaras has got the powder-sandy beach where turtles are easily spotted to the right AND a beautiful reef to the left where you can easily spot reef sharks, rays, and many colorful fish! The rooms overlooking the bay and sea are absolutely fantastic and kept very clean. Unfortunately we were expecting to play tennis and due to renovations happening at the resort right now, we weren't able to do so and weren't warned that the tennis court was unavailable. This should have been mentioned as we had contacted the hotel several times prior to our arrival. Also, the food is a big problem: much shortage on many items due to problems with suppliers it seems, or management... really we couldn't know. Unfortunately some items were always missing from the constantly changing limited menu!

Legend of The Blue Sea”
Pro:
1. Wonderful resort with very friendly staff.
2. Private beach is heaven! Super fine white sandy beach with crystal clear blue sea water. The best beach in Malaysia in my opinion.
3. I stayed in the Sea View Premier Studio suites, room condition is way better than those pic in the web. The management need to update the lame website.
4. Good wifi conection within the resort.
5. Excellent facilities like gym, buggy service, swimming pool, recreation centre etc
Cons;
1. Price at restaurant and beach bar quite expensive. Rm15 for soggy oily potato wedges. Seriously? Even my RM 42 chicken burger patty was wayyyy overcooked and bland. Really disappointed with the food.
