The reception isn't open 24/7 but we noticed them about our late arrival, and someone was there to greet us.
The view from the room is amazing. We sleep to the sound of the small waves.
The dive center is right on the property, it was super convenient for us divers to just walk out of our room and get ready for dive trips.
Hi, thank you for your excellent review! Glad you had a great time relaxing on Tioman. We look forward to welcoming you back someday
My boyfriend and I recently went to Tioman Island for a few weeks on a diving trip. Great and affordable accommodation right at beach and close to the dive centre. Friendly staff always willing to help, breakfast was just perfect to have prior to diving and location is also great!
Our family of four spent five nights in April at this beautiful and friendly place, situated directly on the beach. Our kids aged 5 and 7 assessed Tioman their favourite part of our month in Asia.
We rented one of the terrace rooms and had fantastic days snorkelling directly from the beach, walking to nearby restaurants, looking at the funny monkeys in the backyard and going on excursions to other parts of the island.
The staff of mostly women are super friendly and for example advised us on transport from Singapore (to where we flew in from Sweden) via JB and on to Tioman. Highly appreciated when you are new to a region and travelling with children.
I had some sand fly bites, but the rest of the family were just fine.
It’s part of the paradise. We stayed one cabins one water front on the beach for e and my wife, and another for our three children in July 2018. Very nice with wonderful memories. Our cabin was next to the Dive Center as we had our dive certificates. Very high recommended.
I was lucky I stay both in the sea view Bungalow and Chalet so here are the pros and cons.
Bungalow BA2
Lots of room inside and on the deck.
Bed roomy and comfortable.
Lots of light coming into the room.
Big tree in front provides shade but does block the ocean view slightly, stone throw from the water.
Very quiet location.
Downside no AC only fans a little warm at night yet I slept decent.
Chalet A5
Enough room inside though bed was smaller and not as comfortable.
Excellent view of the ocean stone throw from water.
Very dark inside but has AC
Cons
Monkeys jumping on roof early in morning, dive shop next door partying the noise effected at least two other chalets.
Not sure which one I will pick next time?
There is a beautiful reef just off the beach spent a lot of time in the water.
The people that run the Swiss Cottage are helpful but please read the booking details so your not surprised as it is a layer back basic place which is great.
Breakfast is simple and on the smaller side....
I will finish on this note if you come to snorkel and dive and chill out and aren’t a high needs diva you won’t find a better place to stay in Tekek!
Hi, Thanks for your great review. We appreciate your input, its always good to know where we can improve. Haha the monkeys, yes they drive us crazy sometimes, and we do try to deter them, but when you live so close to the edge of the jungle these encounters are sometimes inevitable. I think the diveshop you are referring to is the one that is on the property of the neighbouring Hotel, and you must have caught them on a particularly busy weekend because they are usually very quiet. Overall it sounds like you had a great time, and we look forward to having you back sometime soon!
