    Amazing location just by the beach. Rooms are simple but very clean and have AC. The staff is friendly and will help you out if you want to go on a snorkeling trip, or have diving lessons. The cats 🐈 <3 Highly recommended.

    Nothing. Only recommendation would be to have a floor or table fan in the rooms. The weather was pleasant so the AC wasn't required always but a fan will help with ventilation.

    Staff was very accommodating - they help you organise snorkelling and diving tours. The property is beach facing and it's a great place to stay to just relax on the beach.

    We stayed here for a week and what a great experience it was! We initially messed up the dates but I got in contact with Rudy and he sorted them out for us with no problems at all. The staff are all amazing and there is a real community feel. Waking up to the beach every morning is also a highlight! We will definitely be coming back here and highly recommend! Thanks so much!

    I love the people there! Amer and Rudy are great Dive Masters and you feel like part of the family in seconds. I could have spend much more time with them. The rooms are nice, directly next to the dive center and establish with everything you need.

    - mosquitos at night. couldn't just enjoy laying in the bed and let the doors open at night. - Sliding doors are see through. No total privacy where people walking by can still see you inside the room. It is especially not a pleasant condition for Muslim ladies like us. We need to cover ourselves in the room while enjoying the sea view with the drapes open. Tiongman, please consider putting on the tint where you can see outside clearly but people from the outside can't see you inside. I would have given 10/10 rating if it is not for this and if only there is a hair dryer provided, trash bag for the dustbin, mosquito coil, some hooks in the shower to hang towel & clothes. - location wise, there are not a lot of restaurants to choose from nearby and they are not open all the time. We arrived for check-in at around 3pm after a 2-hour ferry travel and took a rest. We hadn't had our lunch and couldn't find any open restaurants nearby at that time. We were starving! We got a bike and roam along the road and finally found place to eat. I think it is the only restaurant opens early. We had our meals at around 6pm at Juara Ocean Cafe which is at the end of the other side of the village. September is not a good time to go to Tioman because the weather is bad. For those who wants to go for snorkeling just by the beach, I suggest to stay at the other side of the island. Not Kg.Juara because it looks like beaches in Juara are wavy. Even there's no snorkeling point indicated in the map you get when you paid the marine conservation fee at the Tg.Gemok jetty.

    We stayed in Deluxe Double Room with Balcony and Sea View and the sea view definitely worth it. I love chilling in front of my room and just enjoy the view, the sound of the waves, cats keeping me company. The resort location is more secluded and less busy with people walking around compared to the side along The Barat. It is quiet. In the room, you get a medium sized fridge, small bottles of soaps and shampoos, electric kettle and mugs, towels, hanging rack, water heater in the shower. Drinking water are available at their dive center beside. Restaurants and mini mart are just nearby in a walking distance. For breakfast, you can get easily from the restaurants just beside Tiongman. Bike rentals places available behind the resort. To get to the resort, you need land transport from Tekek jetty. The resort offers 4x4 pickup transfer with a price RM35/person per trip for locals. As the resort name itself, of course they offer scuba diving activities. Unfortunately for us, we can't go for a discovery dive because the water are too rough. Can't even snorkel so we don't get to see any fish & corals in Tioman. We don't have the time to catch to join snorkeling trip. We went for waterfall hike instead on our own. Last but not least, kudos to Mr.Rudy from Tiongman for giving us a welcoming feel. He picked us up from Tekek jetty. He is amazing. Friendly. He gave us some guide and tips of staying there and shows us around.

    We were not diving and thus might have been better off staying at a different place, as they obviously specialize in supporting and helping divers.

    Overall it was great! There were just some garbage leftovers (waterbottles, paper) from earlier guests, but they were hidden under the bed so maybe they werent seen while cleaning. Maybe not good for people afraid of cockroaches or bigger spiders, but if you dont mind roommates then its all fine :)

    the people at the lodge & scuba dive area were such amazing people - really open, friendly and try to make your stay as perfect as possible. The room itself was good, I liked the space! :)

    Its not too much of an issue for us. But pls note that since its in Juara beach, the property is on the other side of the island so you need to pretty much arrange your 4x4 transport which incurs extra cost.

    The beach front lodge was pretty cosy. Waking up with the sunrise right in front of you is pretty amazing on its own. Staff and all dive masters are very friendly. Highly recommended.

    Climate super humid so be prepared that clothes not dry fast :) check if the pillows etc has mold dots. I got an allergic reaction. Staff changed the pillow immediately when I noticed and asked. It seems like there is darkened windows in the room and curtains that give privacy. Check night time the visibility from outside. I realized that having lights on in my room, one can see in the room even curtains are there.

    Extremely helpful staff!! Ac worked, hot water in shower. Really calm and clean beach.

    Brian and his team are really welcoming and laidback people. They let us take part in their family life and were adorable with our little daughter. We felt very much at home and had some amazing diving! Amer is a very experienced diver and patient and funny instructor. The rooms are clean, the beach is beautiful and the company awesome - what more could you wish for!?

    The location close to the beach is amazing! The staff was really nice and super helpful with everything, including transport and activities like snorkeling trips. The room itself was nothing special, but definitely enough and you can't complain at such rates. We had a great experience and can definitely recommend staying with Rudy!
