Barbura resort: Tiomans Best kept secret

Me and my wife stayed here for 4 nights 5 days! This is a great place for tourists to stay at this resort they go the extra mile to make your stay a memorable one! If there is anything you want to do while in tioman they will accommodate you as much as possible and find the best deal they can for you! The resort was very clean every morning they would rake the beach in front of resort they show that even the smallest details are taken care of! They have a dive center right beside the resort as well for dive enthusiasts! You can also put on snorkel stuff and see many fish and some corals right out your door without having to book a boat it may not be as great as other spots on island but a great place for someone to learn to snorkel! all in all a great place!

Unique Quality: The thing that jumps out for me while on our stay here was thy went above and beyond to make it a great stay! I am an avid fisherman and love going fishing most places were around 400 ringitt so we decided to ask at our resort! She was able to find us a person to take us for only half that price! The guide she found was very nice and had much knowledge to share about the island! And if that was not enough once back from fishing the restraint at the resort cooked up the fish for us in a few diff ways! They will accommodate you with anything you want and if for some reason they can not will point you in the right place!

Happy Inn Resort: Genting Happy Inn - Exceeding expectations

If you are looking for a place to stay in Tioman, and do not know which to choose from the various resorts available on the island, try staying at Genting Happy Inn Resort.

The hosts are extremely polite and hospitable, and are willing to share a few tips on what to do on the island. Mingle around with them to learn more about the island, the locals and to soak in their carefree lifestyle!

Truly lovers of the sea and island, they are definitely not interested in cheating tourists of their money, thus their packages are definitely value for money!

At S$179 per pax, the package includes a SG-Mersing-Genting round trip, an all-day island tour with 2 snorkelling locations, 2 breakfasts, 1 lunch, 1 dinner and 1 BBQ dinner! Enjoy the freshest seafood that were caught on the day itself!

Unique Quality: The Happy Inn Resort has its own restaurant named Happy Inn Restaurant, which is the dining area for guests and offers a fabulous seaview. Sitting by the wooden balcony, enjoying the light seabreeze and eating your meals while the sun sets is definitely a memorable experience.

Needless to say, the food served were also very delicious and often more than what you can finish! Though there are less facilities such as pool and spa facilities, Happy Inn Resort has exceeded my expectations in terms of service and hospitality and is definitely a place to go for total rest and relaxation.

Sun Beach Resort: Budget option in Tioman

Sun Beach Resort is mainly for budget travellers coming to Tioman for scuba diving. Compared to other options in the island, you can definitely find better places than here. However, if you will spend most of your day out in the sea and just come back to sleep, this place provides a good choice. There are budget, standard and deluxe chalets to choose from. The food served is not satisfactory except the BBQ night.

Unique Quality: Close to jetty, reasonable price

Salang Beach Resort: Basic Accommodation at Salang Beach

Cheap and very, very basic. We stayed for 2 nights in a double and were charged RM110 per night.

It's very basic. I suggest arriving at Salang and checking out all the other places on offer. You can often get a better deal. We made a booking here via the net, but we could have turned it down after arriving. It's at the far end of Salang beach and the main bars, restaurants and swimming area is at the opposite end of Salang beach.

Berjaya Tioman Beach, Golf & Spa Resort: Fancy a Spot of Golf?

It's not the best place on the island, but the service is good and the restaurants were quite good too.
The rooms are by no means luxurious, so take the cheapest one and ask to be near the beach. We stayed in a "deluxe chalet", but there was nothing deluxe about it. the standard chalets near the lobby would have been fine.

Unique Quality: Snorkelling around Renggis Island was great!

Manana Chalets: the real travellers hang out!!

Manana Chalets that used to be in Juara,Tioman has open its new isolated private beach in Borneo,Sabah....finally after a year of absence the 'infamous' boys of Manana is back and kicking it in Sabah!!
I was there for their soft launch and only one word would describe its new venue and vibes...WOW!!!At the time of the launch only 12 units of various bungalows are ready and a funky restaurant and a bar run by a cute Greek guy too!!
Rooms from RM60 to RM180 and also the owner is building a private villa concept units that sleeps 4-5 with a private Balinese garden for RM320!!
Surf ,snorkel and traditional wooden kayak also available for rent.Diving center is in the process of setting up...
At night its a lively with chilled out music (Manana is famous for that) and cool Fire Twirling on the beach...
This place Manana has always created the 'never want to leave' feeling you get being on a beach espacially this one in Borneo....
Check out their web-site.....www.manana-borneo.com for further details...
......secret is out again....
welldone boys!!!

Melina Beach Resort: Really bad value for money

This Resort looks good on paper, but disappoints consistently; especially as prices are very high given Malaysian and Tioman standards.

Thumbs down:
Accomodation: room and sheets uncleanliness, terrible bathroom standard and hygiene, shabby room cleaning, stained and dirty mugs and spoons and glasses in the tea-coffee facility in the room which, by the way, were never replenished, broken stuff stored all about the resort, virtually no house-keeping, old, noisy and ineffective Air conditioning, no staff-on-hand many many times, awful general maintainance, etc.etc

Food: Very expensive, over-priced given the quality of cooking, repetitive, local food westernized, dinner has to be ordered by lunch time, or at breakfast if you are going away for the day. Breakfast(included) is OK, tea and coffee poor.
They say it is because of Tioman, but you to Paya or ABC and everything is only a couple of Ringgits more expensive than the mainland, so that is bad excuse for shoddy hotel? keeping

Penthouse (750 RM), TreeHouse (350-450 RM), extremely bad value for money. pay for a night for the novelty but you if you have 750, Japamala down the road (coast) is a true high-end resort.

It resembles more a poor quality boarding house than anything else.

Note: You might be woken up in the night by the owner(s) noisy partying and shouting...

Unique Quality: Has a turtle hatchery which kids might like.

There is a good house reef (but lots of places in Tioman have that).

You can get away for lunch by following the jungle track to Genting (easy but hot), Paya (more sternous but good tasty food at 1/4th or 5th the price awaits you at the end.
You can also walk to Genting along the beach at low tide. This is an especially pleasant walk.

Otherwise, stay away, unless you want to feel European by paying European prices for 1* B& B in Malaysia.
