room was basic, one big bed, small fridge, aircon, no TV, bathroom with shower and toilet together. door facing the beach, which was around 30 steps away. Water warm and clear, sometimes crabs stinging body. A few nice restaurants around, with sea facing view, just keep in mind some have breaks around 9:30, so if you get up late with kids, might miss breakfast. Noisy bats in the evening outside, fighting high in the coconut tree. Motor scooter rental available at the host's office. Host offered transfer from ferry at a good price. He was great and friendly guy. Overall my 5 days spent there were amazing, calm, not crowded, really enjoyed.

We loved our little beachfront chalet with a friendly cat who liked to sit on the porch with us as we enjoyed the beautiful view. The room was basic, but the bed was comfortable, the bathroom clean, the shower hot and the aircon cool...all we needed, at a reasonable price. However,if you like shiny surfaces, fluffy towels and crisp bedlinen, this isn't the place for you. Juara Village is quiet with a few local restaurants and a beach bar down the far end of the beach. Remember to bring cash with you, because there's no ATM on this side of the island and not many places take cards. Wifi is available at the reception area.

I give this place top marks, because it was exactly what I was looking for, at a very reasonable price. Those travellers looking for upper end luxury and service, this place not for you! I was met by the chalet manager at the ferry pier in Tekek, and he drove me (he charged a lot less than the taxi service in Tekek for the transfer) over the island to the property at Kampung Juara. Juara is a quiet beachfront village, a one lane concrete paved Main Street, beach on one side of the road, jungle on the other. There are two beaches, separated by an outcrop of rocks. Permai Chalets is roughly in the middle of the north beach, close to two convenience stores, (only one was open in January) and several basic restaurants . Each beach is a little less than one kilometre long. My cabin, one of several that all looked identical, backed onto the road, and faced the beach, literally 10 metres away, under a coconut grove. The cabin is basic, but comfortable: a porch with two plastic patio chairs, coffee stand, and a picnic table out front. Inside, a comfortable queen sized bed, fridge (small), small desk and stool, side stand, decent en suite with hot water, well functioning A/C. Soap, but no shampoo. (They don’t supply toilet tissue, if you bring your own, I wouldn’t risk flushing it if I were you!). A kettle and a couple mugs. Thats it. (all I needed!). No TV, no wifi, but there is a strong cell signal. I was there during the off season; many, if not most, of the accommodations were closed, and many of the restaurants. One of the stores was always closed when I went by, and the other did not have much to offer. Before you leave Tekek, ask your driver to stop at the ATM (you will need cash in Juara) or better yet, load up in Mersing. Also ask him to stop at the grocery store to load up on fresh fruit, bread, milk, instant noodles etc. (Plan ahead, make a list of what you like, and assume you will not be able to purchase it in Juara.) If you like a drink or two, ask him to stop at the duty free liquor store too. (Its next to the grocery store). I don’t think you can buy booze in Juara, although I did see beer advertised in the Chinese restaurant. Juara is a very quiet get away during the off (monsoon) season, and I can’t imagine that it could be incredibly crazy during the summer. Its just not developed enough to accommodate large numbers of visitors, and there is no day traffic.

We got a transfer from Permai Chalet from Tekek to the chalet, which was much cheaper, than the others. The driver was so nice and stopped at the ATM in Tekek and we could go for shopping. The room was basic, but really comfortable bed!!! The room has fantastic view (beach front), kettle, some coffe, and sometimes bugs (but it is "normal" in a resort also in Tioman) This side of the island is much more beautiful, than the western side! You can use you credit card in Bushman (over 100 rym) and Barat (without limit) but in the other restaurant and shop you can pay only cash on Juara beach. We stayed here 4 nights and we went to the other side of the island. That was a mistake... we shoul had to stay in Juara beach, because it was the paradise ;-)

I stayed here in september 2018, my 12 friends and i all received bites on our bodies. After washing all my clothes, dry cleaning them and throwing a few away. In 2019 i can still see bed bugs coming out into my house in a different country. My house is now being fumigated.
The bed sheets they use seem like they were thrown away by someone and reused by them.

Such a beautiful part of tioman Island. The beach was nice and quiet which I liked. The host was more than helpful and made our stay great. We did the snorkeling trip with them also and it was so much fun. The chalet itself is very basic but it adds to the experience of the stay and it was very clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend you stay here if you are going to Tioman Island.
