We spent 4 days/3 nights at X Rector . Mr Wee met us at the jetty and as it was around lunch time , suggested a few venues for our lunch . X Rector itself is a quaint , well thought through place . Rooms are spacious and comfortable with a decent sized bathroom. Water pressure in the shower is a bit low but we have found that to be quite common on most islands . There is a tea room with cold drinks and fruit available for purchase ( including cold beer and cider ) . There is also a games room with free coffee and tea , plus some snacks and instant noodles which can be purchased . Wine bottles are also available for purchase . For your wet clothes , there is a spacious drying area so no need to worry about where to place your wet swim suits or gear ! The highlight of our trip was the snorkelling . Mr Wee takes safety very seriously so even if you are an experienced snorkeller , you need to go through the safety training . The snorkelling itself , through the caves and immense coral reefs were amazing and highly recommended . Mr Wee and his parents are lovely people and will make your stay extra special ! …

Stayed 3D2N at X Rector Minsu with my family, I can said it’s a hidden gem of Kampung Genting Tioman! I personally been to Tioman Island few times and stayed at different site(Juara, Paya, Genting), but this time, the experience is so different! If you wanted a peace and quiet retreat with your family & friends, this is the right place! The room is simple and clean, everything you needed is provided. The owner & family is dedicated and thoughtful. Can see they put in effort to provide as much as facilities in the property. There is “playroom” that allows the guest to chill, eating & singing inside. Drinks & fruits in chill is provided and no need to buy from outside because the price is the same. My family is so in love with the playroom. The difference part of our stay compare to other resort/hotel is the advance snorkelling experience. As the owner, Wee is instructor of diving, snorkelling & free dive, so we’ve been trained by him for tactic of advance snorkelling. The highlight of the trip and amazing part is the snorkelling site that Wee brought us to, the experience is different from other places. We saw many special sea creatures, closer look at turtle, shark & etc. Overall, it’s a happy and enjoyable experience of our stay in X Rector. Highly recommended! Lastly, don’t forget to order dinner with Wee’s mum, it’s nice home cooked food!…

Had a great time staying at X rector. Mr. Wee is a great host and will make you feel at home. The room I stayed in was very clean, and I would definitely recommend taking the advanced snorkeling training + snorkeling trip with Mr. Wee. There are also lots of great options for home cooked meals nearby!

We really enjoyed this snorkelling experience. The morning was spent learning/mastering some essential skills and then snorkelling around the local reef. After lunch, we headed out on the boat and had the most amazing snorkelling experience! We saw turtles, reef sharks, squid, an amazing variety of fish and lots of coral. Going with a guide meant that we went into areas that we likely would have never seen on our own and we were able to explore and enjoy at our own pace. We felt it was a much better experience than a tour that just drops you off at different spots. We also were snorkelling in areas that were less busy - we were usually the only group in the area. With the guides experience with free diving, he was able bring up different things for us to look at. The small group size (max 8) and having a company that specializes in snorkelling rather than diving made a big difference in the experience. Our 9 and 13 year old kids loved it! It was hard to get them out of the water at the end of the day. In total, we spent about 7 hours with our guide and felt it was worth every cent! It was a unique and memorable experience. …

When we arrived at Tioman, Wee and his parents received us with a lot of hospitality. The place was clean, beautifully decorated and the beds were comfortable. The next day, we did a full day snorkelling trip and it was absolutely amazing! We saw beautiful coral, turtles, baby sharks and puffer fish. To top this all of, the amazing mother of Wee cooked us a very tasty fish as dinner! Thank you for the amazing time we had here, we wish we could stay longer. Greetings, family Sikkink
