Tioman island - all beaches

We had an amazing time here for a special occasion and the team at Japamala Resort truly made it a memorable day! The level of hospitality we received was unparalleled and the service was exceptional. The private bay where the resort is situated is well-maintained, adding to the exclusive and intimate atmosphere. Watching the sunset from the pier, enjoying homemade Gin infusions, indulging in exquisite dining at the authentic Italian restaurant, and staying in a room nestled in the forest, surrounded by nature and carefully designed, created an unforgettable experience. If you find yourself in Tioman, this is definitely a place you should consider adding to your itinerary.

We didn't actually stay at this place, but we came to grab a bite to eat. However, they weren't serving their regular menu and only had specials available. Since there were no other options open, we ended up eating here. For our meal, we ordered two beef burgers, fried calamari, and a chicken chop. It took about 30 minutes for our burgers to be cooked, which was understandable considering they had a larger group to serve as well. The burger was delicious, seasoned with Maggi, ketchup, and mayo. The squid was served hot and crispy, accompanied by a side of mayo. Unfortunately, the chicken chop never arrived, but we were already full, so it wasn't a big deal. The orange juice was incredibly refreshing when served over ice. Additionally, we had a friendly cat meowing for some of our squid for quite a while 😅🐱 (This seems to happen everywhere). Should you come here? Well, if you're staying in Juara, you may not have many other options. However, the food is good, the staff is friendly, and the view is breathtaking. It seems like the satay skewers are also delicious, so I'd definitely like to give them a try next time.

This quaint seaside town boasts a plethora of diving centers, perfect for those seeking an underwater adventure. However, the limited selection of restaurants may leave foodies wanting more. Additionally, the lack of nighttime activities may not appeal to those looking for a lively nightlife scene.

This beach is the best on the island! It has a really relaxed atmosphere since it isn't too commercialized or crowded. The sand is clean and soft, and the water is clear and tranquil. Highly recommended for watching the sunrise!

We decided to stay at this resort because it was more affordable for our family of six, which includes two teenagers, an 11-year-old, and three adults, compared to another resort. The ferry ride to the resort was convenient, being the second stop. We were pleasantly surprised by the local and high-quality food. The accommodation was satisfactory, with an outdoor shower and toilet. We were amazed by the abundance of tropical fish at the jetty, eager to be fed. The sea water was crystal clear.

The lodging is conveniently located near the pier, just a short 2-3 minute walk away. There are also several amenities nearby, such as a restaurant, souvenir shop, supermarket, mosque, and clinic. The room is clean and comfortable, with a pleasant atmosphere. The best part is that it overlooks the beach, providing a stunning view of the sunset if you're lucky enough to catch it. If you opt for the full package, meals are included and they are both plentiful and delicious. Additionally, the staff is friendly and easy to approach.
