Verdict

Summer Bay, formerly Redang Lang Resort, has about 110 rooms at the north end of Pasir Besar, sharing the beach with Sari Pacifica, and a long bridge out over the reef.

It has a PADI 5 Star dive centre, a large pool, a gym, a spa, the Seaview Cafe, an Asian-fusion restaurant and the Sunset Bar with a live band. The 2026 Holiday package starts at RM1,098 per person for 3D2N, twin share, with the boat, all meals, snorkel gear, a jungle trek, a snorkelling trip and the Blue Tears night walk. Guest reviews on Trip.com in 2026 score it 9.0 out of 10 and mention clean rooms, a clean beach and baby blacktip reef sharks on snorkelling trips.

The catch is the jetty and the extras. The boat runs once a day from Mangkuk, about 19 km by road from Merang, and room-and-breakfast rates do not include it. Packages add a RM120 fuel charge per person, a jetty fee, service tax and the conservation charge, and check-out is at 9 am. Some 2026 reviewers found the house reef poor and the service slow, and one who booked outside the resort’s own channels reported limited access to restaurants and activities. All prepayments are non-refundable.

Good for

Families, divers and first-timers who want the boat, meals and activities in one package.

Not for

Anyone heading for Merang jetty, travellers who want a late check-out, or budgets that cannot absorb RM120 per person in fuel charges.

Getting there

The resort boat leaves Summer Bay's own jetty at Mangkuk, near Kampung Penarik in Setiu, at 11:30; be there by 10:30. It is not Merang. Confirm the time with the resort, because parts of its own site still give older times. All routes to Pulau Lang Tengah.
