Bandar Penawar Holidays

The place, the bungalows and the staff are very nice but the generator (frim the hotel next door) is making a terribe noice 24h/24h. Not possible to relax on yiur terrace and impossible to sleep at night

A very beautiful place, a very wonderful place-- so thank you very much. Living as we do on the other side of the world, we looked carefully for somewhere where we could be quiet after a busy week of work in Singapore, longing to walk into the water and see its wonders. Bali was possible, but at a friend's suggestion, we chose Tioman Island. The Japamala Resort satisfied every hope, known and unknown. The sea and sand was all we imagined and needed, our room was creatively curated in a Polynesian style, the food was different and unique (and tasty!), and the staff were exemplary. Mike stands out in his role overseeing the hospitality, characteristically eager and kind, able and willing to do anything needed to make our time a pleasurable one. Everything from the restaurants to the masseuse to the watermen who helped with the snorkeling, we were grateful for each one. Do we recommend? Yes, and yes again! Washington DC

Loved the beach and the snorkelling was so easy to arrange. The food was good. The rooms are a bit dated however.

Stayed at minang cove resort for 5 days as part of a family (teenagers) holiday and absolutely loved it! Superb staff, mix of relaxation and activities, good food and drink, and of course shark feeding from the jetty at 9 o'clock every night!
