Find Hotels in Tioman Island, Malaysia

Our annual trip to Tioman Island and will never missed out this hotel. This is one of the best place to be in Tioman Island. Restaurant staff are very attentive and they clean the table all the time and good service. Huge compound and perhaps need motorbike or bicycle to move around within the resort lol. Golf course, dive center and other resort facilities... Good for corporate retreat too.

Our stay at Coconut Grove was AMAZING!!! We stayed 3 nights this week at 1511 Coconut Grove, on the eastern/Juara side of Tioman Island. We had a total of 5 nights on Tioman Island, but our final 2 nights were booked on the western side of the island at the Berjaya Tioman Resort. I am pleasantly surprised to say that our experience at 1511 Coconut Grove exceeded ALL expectations and was far better overall than the much larger and commercialised Berjaya Resort. If you are looking to relax on Tioman Island and get away from the hustle and bustle of work life then I strongly suggest you book a stay at 1511 Coconut Grove. The resort has around 9-10 cabins only, all with direct sea views and situated just 5 metres from one of the most amazingly pristine beaches I have ever seen. The resort is clean and quiet, the staff are ultra friendly, the rooms are comfortable (not 5-star, but certainly acceptable for an eco-tourism kind of setting) and whilst most guests keep to themselves throughout the day, swimming and sunbaking on the beach, everyone tends to come together at the bar in the late afternoon/evening to interact with other guests and staff. This is a resort where quality staff certainly add to your experience. At 1511 Coconut Grove, staff make a point of getting to know you on a first name basis, and they are willing to assist with any requests (within reason) that could make your stay more pleasant. Food and beer are cheap. No spirits are served, but you can bring your own to the bar for a fee. Meals are home-cook style, tasty and filling. The owners, Andy and Colin, were amazing to meet and converse with - so friendly and full of suggestions for activities to help make our stay incredible. The other front line workers, Jana and Suren were fantastic too. I look forward to returning to 1511 Coconut Grove as soon as the opportunity affords itself. Don't hesitate to book a room here - you are in for a treat if you do!!!

Travelling with a 4 yr old and 8 months old to celebrate birthday at Tioman. Got free upgrade to 4 person room with 2 bathroom and a balcony attached. Super nice hotel and wonderful stay :) Pros: - Facility: Brand new hotel with trendy eco friendly design. Clean and comfy. Nice ambience.

Can just swim out from the shore. Saw sea turtle and eagle ray. - Food: nice breastfast. Reasonable price at hotel restaurants and super tasty. - Staff: Helpful and friendly with smiley faces Cons: - No WiFi given. (Saw the WiFi SSID but staff told us no WiFi when we ask for password) - No swimming pool where the ocean is our pool - Digi no service

If you are looking for a nice and calm place to stay on the Tioman island, the resort would be a good choice for you. It is situated directly on the beach and there are not too many people there. For malaysia it is normally clean and the food is also typical for the malaysian cuisine. Do not expect an european breakfast, lunch or dinner but for us the malaysian cuisine was very delicious. After seeing the other resorts and places on Tioman, i would always prefer the paya beach resort cause it has the best location and it offers everything you need for your stay on the island.

We could not believe that some people had scored the Selesa so low because we had a lovely 5 days there and couldn't fault the apartments. Yes they may be slightly dated but they were really clean, so so spacious (we had 2 bedrooms!) and the air con worked perfectly. The pool was absolutely beautiful and it was huge, and the hotel put a free shuttle on every hour into town. There is a private beach a 10 minute walk away or you are welcome to use the facilities at the Berjaya down the road, which is a luxury hotel right on the beach. The Selesa just needs to market itself better and it would be booming! We would definitely return and the Tioman Islands themselves are stunning! Best scuba diving we've ever done.

This is a delightful amazing place !!! Cosy cottages standing in the middle of the wild jungle of Tioman island, have a private shower and air conditioning. This hotel is suitable for people who like to enjoy nature. The room does not even have a TV, and that's a plus. Wi-Fi exists only in the common dining room. Good cheerful helpful staff. We will definitely visit this hotel again next time!!!

Honestly this was the best stay I have had on my travels, from the location, to the staff everything was perfect and exactly what I was looking for. Everyone was so friendly and it quickly felt like home, I had to move to other accommodation further up the beach half way through my time at Tioman and found my self going back their for my meals, drinks or just to catch up with everyone.

Superb in short! This is actually the 2nd time my husband and myself visited Japamala, basically we love everything about the resort, the nice and friendly staffs, especially the resident manager - Aruni. The resort contains only 13 rooms in total, therefore it's very private and not packed at all as compared to the other resorts in Tioman Island. We love to hangout at the Italian restaurant which is located above water and the sunset view over there is just amazing. Rooms are very clean and filled with whatever necessities. Perfect for couples or small family who wants to have a quiet romantic and relaxing getaway.

It was a great experience staying here. We were actuay coming three of us but we booked a room for 2 and when we came to check in, the staff offered us a room for 4 people instead. But we love the room so much so we chose to stay the room we booked. The place was 5min walking distance to the beach and 15min walking to the small islands for self-snorkelling. It was very nice, the staffs were friendly and we can eat halal food at the restaurant so don't worry! In fact, we got free breakfast for another person since we only booked for 2 people. Everything was great and i would definitely recommend everyone to come and stay here☺

I was really amazed this trip thanks to the kindful family !! If you come to Tioman Island to escape the people and to enjoy the real nature, this is the best place. Tioman has several points to visit such as Genting, Paya and ABC. Paya is also nice as a typical touristic place. But here, Mukut is very peaceful and quite place with beatiful ocean and stars. I thank the host family for the kind hospitality. Jun

A little paradise! The staff accompanied me to go for snorkelling each time. I was well taking care of by he staff. The highlight is to feed the wild baby sharks after dinner under the stary sky.This was the second best experience after the chase of the Northern lights. The half board package is worth it. The tranquil location was just I needed for a relaxed holiday. No wifi no TV, just the sea and books. You can walk to the local village and water fall. The resort owner , Tony, had asked his staff, Nora , to accompany me to the local village since I was alone there. I will be back to this resort again in April. This resort is at the Southern part of Tioman island. Far away from Tulai Coral Island, but can get more hotel guests to share the boat to organise the trip. This is the 3rd most expensive resort in Tioman. I had walked to Tunamaya resort, Bagus resort and passerby the Japamalla resort. I had made the right choice to choose to stay at Minang Cove. If you want to have party, this is not your place.

This resort is the most well run, well maintained, and best place to stay in Juara on Tioman Island, especially if you're travelling in a group. The rooms are amazing, they have great water pressure in the showers, cool & quiet air conditioning, comfy beds and you even have a kettle if you feel inclined to make tea. The food is impeccable. Delicious, tasty AND! really cheap. Not only that the staff here are really friendly. I spent a week here and I was treated like a king. Everyone was very kind and compassionate and I will miss them dearly. Not only that but the resort balcony faces the water. I mean what a view! Wake up and hope straight into the water for a swim then, your up at restaurant for breakfast. (I recommend the pancakes & watermelon juice) Thank again Juara Beach Resort for the amazing time :)

the beach right next to the hotel is great. the staff of the hotel is very friendly! if you're there the scuba tour the hotel offers for very reasonable price (we paid around 15€ per person, depends on how many ppl take the tour) is an absolute must. hotel also offers diving tour, but we didnt take it. we didn't bring a credit card and therefore ran out of money before our depature, thanks to the very friendly staff, we were able to work it out though. travellers are advised to bring either a mastercard or visa, maestrocard won't work on tioman island!

The start of our journey to tioman island was not very good, we reached mersing jetty around 11:00 am only to find that the next ferry to tioman island is at 5:30 pm, the ferry timings change every day based on demand and tide levels, we reached tekek village at around 7:00 pm which is the third stop of the ferry after genting and paya, from tekek to juara village is a 20-30mins drive on a 4/4 for which you will have to pay about 25-30 RM per person, the drive through the forested hills was thrilling and had an eerie feel to it as it had become quite dark, we could see fireflies in the dark! We reached Tamara resort finally at around 8pm and discovered that the hosts were not expecting us as we had not called them to inform about our arrival, they temporarily asked us to sit in the dining area (which has a wonderful ambience ) while they readied the room for us and gave us a welcome drink (mango juice), it was their way of saying "we are sorry to keep you waiting" Dinner was prepared in about 20 mins and by the time we had freshened up, steaming hot fried rice with fried chicken was ready for us. I must mention that from the dining area you can hear the sea and see it too on a clear starlit night. The seashore is just about 200 meters away, after a sumptuous dinner we went down to the beach, the whole beach was empty, it was all ours. The host are very friendly especially Zaidi and Nazarul. They will provide you with all the info you need and even arrange for trips, rent a bike for you etc. The rooms are quite basic but clean and tidy, the air con is quite good, the bathroom s are again quite basic with some rooms having no geyser, but then you do not come to a village to soak yourself in a hot bath! The place is good for people who like to spend their time in a quiet and peaceful place away from the hordes of people who come to this island. They are expanding their capacity by building more chalets and their dining area.

Marine Bay was brilliant for me and my two teenage children, with basic, clean accommodation. Genting has a fantastic, chilled atmosphere - but a word of warning - cards are not accepted outside the dive shops and one restaurant we found, and there is no ATM in Genting, so you will need cash for your entire stay. We didn’t bring enough but the proprietor was a star and helped us out without charge. Highly recommend.

We absolutely looooved our stay at Bagus retreat. The staff were so lovely and couldn't have done more for us. The scenery is out of this world and the ocean is beautiful. The kids loved jetty jumping and snorkelling. Just be careful of the monkeys! they can get into the fridge and they love chocolate milk and baby milk powder. Beaut location off the beaten track - there was only 2 other small families there when we were there. One thing that would make me return quicker would be if Bagus offered their own boat transfers from Mersing. The ferry from Mersing to Tioman and vice versa was an experience in itself - trying to volley for seats! All in all awesome place :) but a different boat to get their would make it a little more easier to access especially with young kids.

The location is great, the staff are kind, but there were a few too many cockroaches and ants for my liking. Killed 5, maybe 6 cockroaches within 10 minutes of arriving. When I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I had ants crawling all over the bathroom which obviously surprised me while half-asleep. The room looked neat on arrival, but there were some cracks in the floor in places... On short-notice, if available, it will do

Stayed here only two nights to take a short trip diving. Wished I stayed longer. First of all, the staff learns your name and pretty much greets you by name throughout the duration of my stay. That's a nice touch that made me feel very welcomed. Second of all, this place is extremely clean, has a large bathroom with a rain shower. The rooms has a AC, a sizable flatscreen TV with a DVD player, and a wide selection of DVDs for use in the front office. The hotel is linked with B&J Dive Shop and they are currently expanding their dive shop/reception area. If you are going to Tioman Island, you cannot go wrong booking your stay here and using B&J for your diving needs.

Simple but sufficient accomodation. Value for money is unsatisfied but for Tioman Island quite okay. The resort area was simple and a bit loveless arranged behind the Paya Beach. Nice receptionists and good malaysian breakfast. We would recommend the other Resort which at the beachside and looks much nicer than the Paya Resort and offers more typical hotel services (restaurant, all-inclusive-buffet, WIFI and pc-rooms...)

When we arrived on Tioman, night was beginning to settle in and what we noticed was that everybody appeared to have speedboats to their next destination. We had not been that organised and had forgotten to contact the hotel. A friendly local used his phone to contact the hotel and in 30 minutes a speedboat arrived as our taxi. It took 30 minutes to get to the hotel and we could not believe our luck- right on our own private beach with an owner that greeted us with the best hospitability. He showed us to our beach cabin and said dinner will be ready in 30 minutes! We had not ordered anything but low and behold when we were settled we received a shout that our dinner was ready (the food was excellent- fresh fish and a chicken dish each evening) for only 11 ringet per person! Uncle Sam did all the cooking so it was a real family run place. What was incredible about pure paradise was not only the breath-taking views but the owner Tam- he made our holiday! This was a cheap hotel but not cheap service, we visited a 5 star hotel a few weeks later and we thought this was miles above it! So well done Tam for making our stay the best ever (WE WILL BE BACK)!
