Just back from Redang last week. These are a brief description of the trip and hopefully it can be useful for those who plan to visit there for the first time. Please correct me if the info i have posted is not accurate.
Kuala Terengganu Bus StationOne can travel either by Bus or Plane (Air Asia) from KL to KT. Plane 2 hrs & Bus 8 hrs trip. I had to catch a bus at Putra Bus Station (near PWTC) at 11pm since most of the coaches travel mostly at night. Ticket is RM 29.00 one way for Transnasional coach. Others may vary. I would recommend Transnasional as they have better driver. My journey back from KT to KL with Sani Ekspress was not a good one. Anyway, 8 hrs of bus ride is torturing and would recommend to travel by plane if you dont mind paying a lil' bit extra.
Merang JettyReached KT at 6:30am and was taken to Merang Jetty by the Resort coach. Journey from KT bus station to the jetty took about 1 hr. The coach will also pick those who travel by plane at the airport to the jetty.
Hawkers selling souvenirs at Merang JettyIf you intend to buy souvenirs, buy it HERE. Those selling at Redang are expensive.
Laguna Redang Resort The resort i stayed at. 3D2N standard room is about RM380+ per person incld buffet breakfast+lunch+dinner and 3 snorkeling trip and boat trip from jetty. Very nice resort and probably one of the most popular in Redang. One thing i didn't know is that the block for standard room is about 3 mins walk from the main lobby. The others more expensive rooms are nearer. The room is not too bad. Equipedwith air-cond, ceiling fan, hot water, hair dryer, TV.
Hotel LobbyAs you can see, the place was crowded with guests waiting to check in. We reached the resort at about 10:30am but had to wait until after 12pm to be able to check-in. A bit lousy on the timing there. The lobby was bloody hot and i was tired from the bus ride, hungry and uncomfortable with the moist and sticky body. Buffet lunch was served at 12pm. Managed to check-in immediately after lunch.
Standard Room BlockNot as fancy as the more expensive room but still acceptable.
The GardenThe lil' garden in the resort. Nothing fancy.
More More Tea InnThe famous More More Tea Inn now a convenient cum souvenir store. Located right next to the resort. It was relocated from its original spot to make way for the resort.
The Swimming PoolIt has a big pool, children's pool and a jacuzzi.
The JacuzziAnother angle showing the jacuzzi.
