Is it worth it to go to Redang Island?
Redang is one of the most beautiful islands in the world and definitely has the best beaches I've been to in Malaysia. The waters are crystal clear and the sand is amazing. Resorts are a little high priced and like all Malaysian islands (except Penang) the food is terrible but truly an amazing stay.
