If you're looking for a getaway from the city and thinking of going on a holiday, this is the place to be. Have been here 3 times already and will keep coming back. The whole experience is just great with very affordable rates and good vibes. The people are very friendly and always willing to help.
Staff, food, location, cleanliness and experience was simply perfect. We had a group of 6 of us and our memorable stay will be life lasting. One of the highlights of our trip was our snorkeling trip provided by the resort. I have spent time with dive shops around SE Asia and this is one of the best for making a day in the sun fabulous. Imogen and Din are both so knowledgeable, patient and kind!!! We took a trip to Coral Island and WOW! Imogen taught one of our friends to swim and she built confidence in him to do so. Another party in our group was uncomfortable with the water but by the time our day was done, they both became swimmers and have so much more confidence in the water. Imogen and Din, thank you so much for that. Also the food and drinks provided was a wonderful bonus! We had some choppy waters but the captain was amazing and made us all feel safe.…
The Beach Shack is located in Juara, Tioman. A few friends got together for a diving trip and decided to stay at the Beach Shack since our dive operator @Juara Scuba Academy is located in Beach Shack. Athirah, the owner of these chalets are awesome. Her staffs are warm and helpful in everyway and we felt at home during our stay. We stayed in the humble A Frame accommodation with a bath attached. A waffle/coffee/juice stand @driftwoodbeachcafe is located right next to the restaurant of beach shack. A must try waffles with tea/coffee by Mr. Memo, a cool surfer dude.
Right on the beach front are situated these two storey shacks. upstairs have air con downstairs doesnt. linked is the adjacent restaurant and cafe. there is a real laid back vibe with friendly helpful staff and this is a great throwback to hippy travelling days. great place to relax and kick back and enjoy a magnificent beach. strongly recommend the juices and shakes.
My girlfriend and I stayed one week at Beach Shack, on our second day I wanted to take a coconut from a palm tree next to our chalet but a person started shouted from a small house 20 meters far, at the beginning didn't think was shouting at me but then I saw the person waving then I approached and was shocked with his grotesque insults, but still came closer to talk and clarify the reason for his insults. A man came out of the house with a machete in hand shouting bunch of bad words at me, it was a local person quite drunk, it was a very intimidating situation but I chose to try to calm him while he kept threatening me claiming that all the palm trees belonged to him, I apologized for tryingtto take the coconut but didn't work. My girlfriend noticed the situation and came quickly to calm the violent man, we moved away from the scene and were shocked for a while. We did not know who to go to report what happened since most of the staff of Beach Shack are very young people and we didn't want to put them in danger. Days later we met the owner of the hotel, Mr. Tim, a very kind person to whom I informed what happened and agreed to go later to clarify the situation, a couple of days later he told me that he would talk to the subject later because he was not at home when he had gone. I hope that Mr. Tim has taken action on the matter. I decided to write this review hoping that no traveler is going to be in danger for this man, I honestly believe that the situation should be put in knowledge of the authorities of the island to ensure the safety of travelers. Apart from this awful episode I can tell we had a great time at Beach Shack.…
