The big, polished, family-default resort on Long Beach (Pasir Panjang) — and on Redang, where almost everything is sold as an all-inclusive package, that default is usually the safe first-trip choice. Laguna is the island's largest mainstream resort: 222 rooms and suites in traditional Malay-style longhouses set back from a long white-sand beach, with the most complete setup on the island — a big outdoor pool, a separate kids' pool and a jacuzzi, landscaped gardens, several restaurants and bars, and a PADI dive centre. Its house reef is a short swim or boat-hop away and the package snorkeling trips run from its own jetty. The trade-off is the flip side of its size: Long Beach is the liveliest, most built-up stretch on Redang, shared with day-trippers and a row of other resorts — so book Laguna for the reliable, kid-friendly, everything-in-one-place setup and the easy reef out front, not for a secluded castaway beach.

Our independent tip

Two things worth knowing before you book. First, the cheapest Standard rooms sit near the dive centre and away from the sea — if a sea view or quiet matters, pay up for a Deluxe Sea View or Premier rather than taking the entry rate. Second, the price is a package built around fixed snorkeling-trip departures and buffet mealtimes, so it suits people happy with a set rhythm; if you want to roam, dive independently or eat off-resort, you will get less from the all-inclusive than a flexible traveller expects. The pool and kids pool are the real difference here versus the smaller Long Beach resorts.

Indicative rate

Sold as per-person packages, not nightly rooms — a 3D2N snorkeling package is typically around RM 600-1,200 per adult on twin-share, including the return boat transfer from Merang, full-board meals and the snorkeling trips. Sea-view rooms, suites, weekends and the Jun-Aug peak cost more; children are charged less. Indicative bands from the resort and booking sites — always check the current package rate.

Frequently asked questions

Is Laguna Redang Island Resort good for families?

Yes — it is the most family-ready resort on Redang: 222 rooms, an outdoor pool plus a dedicated kids pool and jacuzzi (most Redang resorts have no pool at all), a gentle stretch of Long Beach, and all-inclusive packages that bundle the boat transfer, meals and snorkeling so there is little to organise. It is the common first-trip pick for families.

Does Laguna Redang have a swimming pool?

Yes — an outdoor pool, a separate kids pool and a jacuzzi in landscaped gardens. That matters on Redang, where many package resorts have no pool and rely entirely on the sea; if you want a pool to fall back on between snorkeling trips, Laguna is one of the few Long Beach resorts that has one.

How do you book Laguna, and what is included?

It is sold as per-person packages (2D1N, 3D2N or 4D3N, snorkeling or diving) rather than room-only nights. A package typically covers the return boat from Merang jetty, full-board buffet meals and the guided snorkeling trips; dive packages swap in scuba. Book direct on the official site or through a Redang package agent, and check exactly which trips and meals your rate includes.

Is Long Beach too crowded?

Be realistic: Long Beach (Pasir Panjang) is the busiest beach on Redang, lined with resorts and visited by day-trippers, so it is sociable rather than secluded. The upside is the easy house-reef snorkeling and the most facilities. If you want a quiet, private bay, The Taaras at Teluk Dalam is the alternative — at a much higher price.
