Reviews of Beach Shack Chalet - Garden View Aframe Small Unit

For the prive de paid the apartment was good, the better thing about this property is the location. I believe it is the best place on the island to stay. It is really clean and beautiful. Additionally, the staff was really kind and helpful, always trying to make your stay better

Breakfast, lunch and dinner were excellent. The host was really kind and helpful. We were there for the low season and she still managed to help us doing activities by gathering people and letting us know the way to the waterfall. Very available and cool, we had good time here and I really recommend this place if you want to have a quiet and peaceful time in Palau Tioman !

You are literally on the beach. Choose the other rooms with AC and balcony and it’s really nice. They have a restaurant with an amazing view and good food.

This comment is for the small room (they have other types of rooms). It’s really small. There is no bed, only a mattress on the floor. It’s very very hot and there is only a fan that is not enough.

Just being in front of the beach, you walk down a few steps and you’re already there, it’s magical. The staff is lovely. Chill and wonderful place where I could recharge for the next travel days.

The fact that reception had only one key per room: they had troubles with checking me in in a room I had to change to. They couldn’t find the lock for that key. It happened something similar to another guest as well. Also, the fact that to refill your water you had to pay, it was just a few ringgits (2 MYR for 1.5 lt / 1 MYR for 0.5 lt), but still, water is a basic need for everyone and specially in a so hot and wet environment. Therefore, I think is not right to charge the guests for this, it’s like you charged for using the toilet facilities. These are the only reason why I don’t give a 10 as score.

We absolutely loved our vacation at Beach Shack! We stayed there for 9 nights and we would have stayed a lot longer! We initally booked the A-Frame, but then changed to the chalet directly on the beach because it was bigger and the view was insaaaane an definitely worth the extra money. Best about Beach Shack is their staff – they were always so nice and friendly and helped us with taxi service, hiking tour etc. Also, make sure to go diving at Scuba Dive Academy which is located within the Beach Shack Area. My friend and I did the Open Water Diver Course and we can recommend it 100%! So, if your looking for a place to stay in Tioman - don’t google any further and book your beach chalet at Beach Shack!

Don’t expect a good Wifi connection at the houses, at the Restaurant its fine though. Also, consider that it’s a beach Chalet. There will be some Gekos, Mosquitos coming into the room. If you don’t care about these things, you will be perfectly happy.

Small chalet with a bed Sound of the waves are super calming at night Provide adequate breakfast

We loved the beach shack, we stayed here for 5 days and would happily have stayed for another couple of weeks. We used their taxi man at a cost of 60 myr for 2 people from the ferry port - he was great, we stood up in the back of his truck all the way and had the best ride, it was so worth it. Our accomodation was small (the smallest A frames) - just big enough for the bed, and hot during the day but the bed was comfy with a mosquito net, so we slept well. Bathroom is simple but it all worked well. During the day there is plenty of space in the chill out dining area with settees, chairs, tables and hammocks. Staff were fabulous, so friendly and welcoming, we felt very much at home. The location is fantastic, our small hut was just behind the bigger beach huts but the view from our bed was still of the sea and stunning sunrise - simply beautiful. Right on the beach, crystal clear blue sea, fabulous for swimming and snorkelling with a reef right in front of the property. Breakfast was quite small but most delicious. Food was simple and good and priced at 11myr for a fried rice (Oct '23), 6myr for a burger - slightly more if you wanted fries. We walked to both waterfalls nearby - a good sweaty work out walk and deliciously cool water to swim in when you get there. All sorts of fabulous wildlife to be seen here. Very little rubbish on the whole island - the beaches are pristine, this is probably one of our favourite islands in the world.

What can I say, the beach shack is a truly wonderful place. It's well ran, the staff are very friendly and they are extremely attentive. It has a great vibe, very chill and so peaceful although we were told it does get much busier in the high season. We stayed in a Garden View A-frame and it was exactly as described. If you like camping you'll love it, if you don't, then you probably won't. The beach front chalets offer more comfort if you'd prefer that, both are very good value for money. The inclusive breakfast was great and offered plenty of choice including eggs, porridge, pancakes, toast and roti. It also included a tea or coffee (the coffee was so good). There was also plenty of additional choice which was chargeable and the evening menu also had lots on offer. The food we had was really tasty and reasonably priced but the shack is located right in the middle of Juara village with some fantastic restaurants either side if you fancy a change. We didn't do any of the excursions on offer but they were popular and highly recommended by other guests. If your thinking of visiting Tioman we would highly recommend the Beach Shack, we wouldn't hesitate visiting again. Thank you for such a wonderful stay, keep up the good work.

There was nothing we didn't like.

Heaven on Earth! What a great location - best beach ever, we had been swimming day and night. The breakfast that is included was good and the restaurant serves excellent food lunch and dinner. And the icing on the cake is the super friendly and professional stuff - they made our stay very memorable. We stayed two weeks - and will come back for three weeks next year.
