Nice place to stay :-) on the beach!

Review of Tioman Cabana
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 17 Feb 2017via mobile
Thanks for a few nights in this amazing place!

The accomodation is very basic, cold shower, very simple room, but we LOVEd that place for amazing people who own it, for great atmosphere, delicious breakfast and a room in the fridge for our rum and coke with lime :-)

They also have a perfect taste of music, from reggae to Coldplay :-))

So if you you dont mind little bit of noise in your room and cold shower, go for it! ❤

      Originally we had anticipated staying at a place not far from our home of the week but (luckily), unable to get in touch, ended up on another doorstep. It is called Tioman Cabana and is run by a man named Sham who has put his whole heart into building the place up from nothing but the sand on the beach. Every detail will tell you a little more about what you have come in to, from the musical instruments on the patio to the surfboards hanging from the ceiling. It is a place that is simple, but has everything you need.

      Hungry? There's a restaurant that has a menu for all kinds of taste buds.
      Need privacy? Chill out in your room.
      You want be social? Hang out on the patio.
      Want to play an instrument? Sham is always down to jam.
      Want to be in the water? This place is BEACH FRONT.
      Want to do water sports? Snorkeling, paddle boarding and surfing can all be found here.
      Ferry not running and you need a place to stay again? You will be welcomed back with open arms (as long as other haven't booked the place up, of course)
      Even the rain doesn't stop you from having a full and enjoyable stay there.

      Aside from everything there is to do there, Tiomana Cabana staff and friends are truly kind, helpful, and chill. From the moment we met Sham, he was always projecting good vibes. For someone who runs an accommodation establishment, his generosity makes up for so much more than what he charges for a room in a night, and extends beyond than just for his guests. During our stay, we met plenty of people staying in other places, either bored or not getting the information they needed from their own hosts, that found themselves drawn to Tioman Cabana. Sham helps and welcomes everyone to hang out and enjoy time together without ever asking for anything in return. Not to mention, the guy is pretty smart. Although still young, he has accomplished quite a lot in his days and is full of knowledge and advice for anyone in need. From his earlier career to accomplishing his dream that is Tioman Cabana, he also has various other projects like fostering coral reef growth out front of his home, organizing a yearly music festival, making can crushers for the neighboring establishments and other eco-friendly developments, and helping friends getting experience or recognized for potential career advancement. With Sham, you don’t just get the feeling you're renting a place from him for a week, you feel like you've got a new friend.

      My husband and I have been traveling in Malaysia for about 3 weeks now and of all the places we have explored so far, our time on Tioman Cabana was not only the most enjoyment we have had but also the most comfortable we have been in this country. There it doesn’t matter what color your skin is or what religion you practice, as long as you don’t mind a bit of sand and go in with an open heart, you can be sure your venture out there will be well worth it.

      Enjoying our stay there, love the view, the owner and crews are very friendly, attentive and observant. Even hanging out around the cabana chatting with them is fun enough. Love the food. The cabana beach lodge is kept clean and tidy. That is very important for us. We didn't put any high expectations when we went there but the experience we got is far more than expected, we even feel sad to leave Tioman Cabana. It's relaxing, fun and would definitely looking forward to go there again.

      This place is MAGICAL. The people amazing. Sham makes you feel at home from the instant you arrive. He works hard to ensure his guests are happy and comfortable. You feel safe and taken care of. The rest of the Cabana Crew are terrific as well. Sweet, friendly, great service and best of a made to feel part of clan. Simple island fan huts, PHENOMENAL live music, healthy fresh cooked food. I'm genuinely sad to be leaving. ❤️❤️❤️

      I stayed 3 days in Tioman cabana, and I really had an amazing time there. The location is perfect, on a beautiful and peaceful beach just 10 minutes walking from the Tekek jetty. But the best part was the atmosphere there, thanks to a great team. They make you feel at home, they play some nice music, and they cook really good food.
      So if you're looking for a place to relax, on a beautiful and quiet beach, where you can stay for a few days or just a meal, and meet nice people, that's the place to go !
