The sea view were excelent and the djungle track was good but we walked on pavement all the way so dont expect it to be a real djungle treck! The airplane... More

I've been to Tioman a couple of times but this is my first time in this resort. It was a short getaway with my husband. We chosed the room over the pond, in the day time it didn't look like much but at night the ambiance over the lake is really nice. The buffet breakfast was pretty basic, and is... More

Thank you for your kind feedback. For those who know about houseflies, they would understand that houseflies are very mobile and can travel quite a distance. As you have stated here, there are other hospitality establishments and food stalls outside Paya Beach Spa and Dive Resort. While we will not comment about the practices of the other hospitality establishments and... More

I have been to this resort last year but i noticed a significant improvement in the buffet spread in terms of taste and quality of food. I spoke to the Resident Manager Simon and heard that they have a new executive sou chef and have made many changes on the staff of the kitchen. Well done and keep up the... More

I was travelling alone and am glad that I decided to stay in this resort. It was nicely designed with big dining area, staff who are helpful and attentive and free wifi.

Well i get what I paid for. The room is clean and tidy, they do have some flying insects around but its an outdoor getaway anyway. The food is fine, enough to fill my empty stomach.

We stayed here as part of an organised trip through Malaysia and so did not directly choose it. I struggle with some of the complimentary reviews, and wonder if I was at the same place.
