    “Honest staff and an honest review”

    As a non snorkeler and scuba diver, 4 nights was plenty for me. We did trek to a nearby waterfall which took up part of 1 day - well worth the visit. Paddling in the sea and chilling out on a sun bed was enough to recharge batteries. The food was more than decent - do try the Italian restaurant. There was free flow of snacks around 4pm with tea / coffee then free flow of drinks between 6pm and 7pm at the jetty. What really stands out from our visit was the excellent service throughout. Mike leads the team for food / drinks and nothing was too much trouble. The front office staff were always available and helpful and finally, even the Bangladeshi workers were kind and took time to greet you with a smile. Prices at the restaurants for dinner were reasonable, not so for massage, MR380 for an ordinary one hour oil massage is a little steep, but then again, you are in a remote area with limited access. You are basically on the edge of a jungle, so their are insects of sorts in the cabins but nothing too frightening. The air conditioning sometimes needs to be switched off and then back on again if the on site electric generators stall during the heat of the day, but it didn't seem to happen during the cooler nights. We drove up from Singapore to Mersing, stayed 1 night before catching the early 6.30am ferry to Genting terminal on Tioman. Be warned, Mersing hotels are not very good. The ferry ride over and back was pretty calm and the car parked at the ferry terminal was secure. Make sure you have the ferry tickets printed out as showing the tickets on your phone didn't seem to be acceptable and also, you will need to buy some kind of visitor tax coupons at a counter across from the ferry terminal at RM30 per person. Would I go back? If I snorkeled or dived, yes, absolutely. As a non diver, probably not, but not because of any failure on the part of the hotel. If all you want to do is chill out on a sun bed, this might just be your cup of tea.

    Dear Keith, Thank you for your feedback and your honest review of your experience during your holiday. We really appreciate the comments about the airconditioning and the insects in the room and while our location may contribute to this, we are actively looking at ways to prevent this sort of experience from happening in the future to the best of our abilities. We have also re-launched our own ferry service from Tanjung Gemok to offer an improved arrival and departure experience as well as to provide better timing than the constantly shifting public ferry schedule. Yes, there is a tourism tax for non-Malaysian guests and a sustainability taxes for all visitors and tourists to the island. Depending on your booking method, the tourism tax may already be included in the rate, so it is important to check this prior to leaving for your holiday. Thank you again for coming to stay with us and for providing us with this critical feedback so we can continue to improve our services.

    “Unbelievable every time....../Unglaublich jedes Mal.......”

    What more praise can I write about the resort than in June 2022. It is simply brilliant and can only be recommended for people who want to take the time to relax and want to be well looked after. Not cheap, but very EXCLUSIVE location without a trace of hectic. It certainly won't be the last time, many thanks to the entire team! Was soll ich noch mehr Lob über das Resort schreiben als im Juni 2022. Es ist einfach genial und einfach nur zu empfehlen für Leute, die sich die Zeit nehmen wollen, einfach mal zu relaxen und auch noch dabei gut betreut werden wollen. Nicht billig, aber dafür sehr EXLUSIV gelegen ohne eine Spur von Hektik. Es bestimmt nicht das letzte Mal gewesen, vielen Dank an die gesamte Mannschaft!

    “Awesome getaway!”

    Once we landed, we are immediately hosted by knowledgeable Kenny, who explained the rich heritage of Japamala. They are careful with details and we received a pleasant surprise when we reached our treetop hut. The sundown was awesome as we viewed the breathtaking scenary with awe at the jetty. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Ryan was meticulous and helped to take care of our needs. Overall a 5/5 experience at Japamala. Will definitely return for another getaway next time!

    “Above expectations ”

    Great island retreat if you looking for some quietness. Adult only - very friendly staff - exceptional food - needs some renovations and renewal here and there, but this doesn’t affect the overall very good experience

    “Beautiful resort in Tioman”

    I loved the place. The rooms are beautiful and spacious. Lots of thoughtful details. It's also great to have unlimited access to the snorkelling gear and the kayak, which allowed me to visit nearby beaches. The coral reef is just there. Free flow of sundowners at the jetty was fantastic. Staff were quite friendly too! It is, however, quite isolated. Hiking routes are hard or impossible to reach by foot. In Tioman, in general, hiking paths are not well kept or well marked.
