Great Place

Loved the natural ambience of the place. Very jungle like, with lizards, spiders and lotsa of ants! Staff were awesome! Look out for this guy called Vichan. He made our stay worth remembering. Masseuse was great. Her massages were out of this world. A great place to chill out and slack. Not for the weak-kneed (U gotta climb up and down a fair bit if u took the Sarang Villa which is high up but so worth it, with a plunge pool and all!). Suitable for couples and honeymooners but it didn't put off 3 young babes from having a fantastic time there. Bottom line - completely worth the money spent!

Luxury in the jungle

Tioman Island is not a place you go for luxury, nor is it a place for the faint hearted. The Japamala Resort Hotel is, however, probably the most luxurious place on the island. The rooms are clean and neat and air conditioning is available. It is located right beside the jungle and it is not uncommon to see monkeys and iguanas on your morning stroll to the beach. The hotel organises its own scuba-diving and snorkelling trips, snorkelling equipment is provided for free. Food is quite lush, but not that varied. Breakfast and lunch is included in the price. Staff are very friendly and helpful. It is more suited to honeymooners rather than adventurers. For the latter I recommend Zaid's place. Very cheap and very basic hotel on Salang beach.

Top Local Tips for Tioman Island

Bugs! It wasn't a huge issue, but bring mosquito repellant and after-bite lotion - the room is fitted with a plug-in repellant, but you might get bitten when dining in the evenings.

Book for a spa room as well as massage together when you book for a massage, tell them you wanna book the spa room as well because you are paying for it!! you should get it which was a disappointment for us because they were putting up backpackers in the massage spa room obviously because they could make more $$!!!

Flights to Pulau Tioman from Singapore Flights to Pulau Tioman from Singapore are cheap and ridiculously easy. If you have a short stopover in Singapore and want to get away for a while, I highly recommend grabbing a cheap flight on Berjaya Air over to Pulau Tioman and having a short break. The hotels in comparison with Singapore are much cheaper so, although you have to pay for the flight, Malaysian accommodation and food is much cheaper than most places in Singapore and Pulau Tioman is duty free so you may end up breaking even.
