Unpleasant stay at Paya Beach Resort

Reviewed By 226belindal

The hotel is not deserving 4 stars. Hotel room & amenities: Not clean, very old, the bed sheet got stained everywhere, the hotel has maintenance equipment scattered everywhere, the pool water was slightly green colour so we do not use it at all. There are water feature next to the KOI pond that made with paint buckets. Service: Bad service, the hotel manager Rama does not want to help when we encountered problem, and he assured follow up but never come back to us. Overall, horrible experience, will never go back.

Japamala Resort by Samadhi

JapaMala is Tioman Island’s only boutique resort, and one-of-a-kind in Malaysia. This small and exclusive resort of 13 rooms is hidden amidst 11 acres of lush tropical rainforest. A one-village-one-resort property, JapaMala has its own private and quiet beach. While some charming Malay village-style villas and chalets dot the jungle and beachfront, others nestle in the most breath-taking spots.Best described as an ‘eco-luxe’ resort, JapaMala transcends the experience of living close to nature by redefining it with a touch of luxury. Designed by natural streams, steep cliffs, towering boulders and where no trees are felled, the entire resort borrows from nature its elements to offer an exceptional sense of paradise, freedom from the real world. While serious relaxation is an elusive commodity for many, one can truly succumb to the healing effects JapaMala imparts through its holistic blend of sumptuous gourmet treats, intimacy between man and nature, unique spa experiences and truly unprecedented hospitality. Many say JapaMala is not just a place, but a state of mind.

As I imagined

Reviewed By Azian A

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Japamala Tioman and our vacation turns out as what we have imagined. We were fetched from the arrival jetty to Japamala which is only a short distance away on their speed boat and welcomed by their very friendly staff Bell and Zai and other staff already waiting at Japamala jetty which is their most iconic spot. We love the resort ambiance - feels tranquil, calm, serene and we could just lay down under the gazebo not realizing the time passes by quickly. We love love love our sea cliff chalet with the balcony overlooking the jetty. We enjoyed the daily evening drinks / cocktails served at the Mandi Mandi Restaurant cum the jetty and looked forward to it everyday during out stay. We have no complaint about the food / menu - selections from Tamarind and Tempio are equally interesting. We enjoyed the hike from Japamala to the nearby village which was not a walk in the park but was interesting and challenging nevertheless. We feel many parts of the wooden bridges should be repaired / change to make the trail safer. The only disappointment was that the trail to the view point is closed as we were told it was not safe as the wooden steps leading to the view point were broken. All resort staff were friendly and I had an enjoyable time chatting with Zai. We loved it here and we will not hesitate to come back here again in the future.

Not worth for the price

Reviewed By Tientien318

Not enough food provided during the stay. The room I booked and topped up (around RM200+) for part seaview (deluxe room) but got only part pool view. And I have been told most of the deluxe room is pool view, only 2 rooms are with a little seaview which is first come first served. I was wondering my room is similar to standard room (which stated in the information side with pool view), however the staff told me that standard room is far and without pool view, there are garden/hill view. It is a huge misleading information on website and to agent. The staff who served me is not friendly. I do not enjoy the stay, it does not worth for the money I paid.

There is room for improvement

Reviewed By hemanathanp2022

Had a 3D 2N stay , i understand that it is post pandemic now , i suggest that the resort hire more people to accommodate the incoming influx of guest. 1) Room service - Horrible , had to remind them constantly to clean the room. And the sheets of the beds were only made and changed every other day ( not daily ) ( apparently there is only 3 people working and it is difficult ) 2) Food - The menu and the waiting duration for the food at the resort café is ridiculous. The staff seemed over whelmed with the number of people and influx of orders. Apart from these 2 short comings - the location and the resort facility itself is good. will definitely consider another trip there. hopefully the food and room service issue is sorted.

Best holiday ever!

Reviewed By brendajm23

Great chalet. Clean and spacious. Delicious food..we had all our meals there...including afternoon tea...which was scrumptious. Every meal we had was tasty and did not have that sad hotel food taste. Had morning yoga with Bruce who was such fun and he was so very helpful at suggesting what else we could do ...and there were SWINGS on the beach! Nice big swings that we sat on every evening and morning and everytime we walked to the beach. We had also had the aromatherapy massage and that was simply lovely. The short snorkeling trip at pulau Renggis was great and the boatmen were kind and polite . Had a wonderful holiday and I hope to go back again one day

Sublime Experience, Best Place to Stay in Tioman

Reviewed By LarissaM3152

What a truly amazing place to stay. The people here are fantastic. They just couldn't do enough for us from the boat that picked us up at the jetty to the warm welcome on the beach. Eimah and the owner really take care of the guests. They went out of their way to cook special meals for our kids. It felt like we were staying in the home if an old family friend. Nothing was too much trouble. The rooms are simple but incredibly clean. The kids loved the bunk beds. We swam at the perfectly clean beach sorklled and went in the Kayak. They organised an excursion for us in their boat. Just a really really wonderful place to stay if you are going to Tioman this is definitely the best place to stay. Beautiful, peaceful, simple and welcoming but the warmth of the staff and the care they take make it a sublime experience

Enjoy the 3 days 2 nights stay especially with the warm hospitality of the staff. The lobby will be a good place to relax , with a drink and a book in hand plus the quiet environment. It will be good if can sell some snacks, especially needed after the snorkelling trip.

Peaceful Place for Those on a Budget

Reviewed By mar_loaded

Went there with family and friends. Those who dont like stairs, let them know in advance. The staffs are friendly, the beach is nice to relax, food is fine (just they have a lot of cats around the resto area). The room is not for fussy. But all good for me, coz most of the time we spent outside. They are rebuilding the jetty and its a bit difficult to climb up but fret not, u can do it!. The staff will help u. We took a 4d3n package with food and a 1 day snorkeling trip. On a free day, we hiked 10mins to ABC village and cycled all the way to tekek. And we did all this, with a 2yo baby. Totally worth it!

Spartan and fabulous - 4 days of perfect beachfront low-key living

Reviewed By ParkCity_UtahSara

Minang Cove's charms are many: location, location, location! Beach-front on tioman. Far enough away from the jetty to feel like its your own private island. Close enough you're not enduring an endless private boat ride after your ferry trip... The rooms are spartan. The food is mostly buffet - a blend of western and Malay. We have a picky teenage eater. He did fine. You don't come for the food. Great bar. Great service and staff. Why Tioman - and specifically Minang Cove: the crystal blue water. The perfect cove for kids to swim. Family snorkeling off of an extremely healthy reef right off the beach. Plus a certified dive master and boat straight from the resort at a super reasonable rate. They offered kayaks, snorkel gear, beach toys for kids. Plus the beach furniture was in really good shape - so you could actually relax beachside in comfort. We had a 16-year old, two 8 year olds and two five year olds and four adults. Everyone found their groove. The resort has a private freshwater spring - so the drinking water was filtered off of that. Good bathrooms and access from the beach. And the staff was so kind. They let my daughter play with the kitten near the kitchen. Sophia - the proprietor's daughter - was our amazing bar tender and child-entertainer. She had the kids doing jumps off the pier into the clear deep blue water. And the secret adventure of minang cove - the evening reef shark feeding - it dazzled everyone. (and we all felt very safe swimming in the water the next day.) THANK you Sophia!! A great four day family vaca. Loved loved it.
