A tropical paradise tucked in a private beach on Tioman island. We stayed 2 nights in the Sarang tree house, was treated with absolute warm and welcoming hospitality. Perfect for couples who wanna be “stranded” on an island getaway.

Overall the resort meets expectations, but can be improved when it comes to additional offers given the steep price of the rooms.

All rooms are wooden houses built on the same mountain, with a total of 16 rooms, very private, no children making noise. Help to clean the room 3 times a day, the room layout is very delicate, all using natural elements, the service is also very good. The Malay restaurant and the Italian restaurant are very delicious, highly recommended, much more cost-effective than Semporna. The sea water is super transparent, with all kinds of beautiful fish, and the hotel can snorkel.

Japamala is a resort that I love so much that I am afraid to write a review for fear that more people will know about it and I won't be able to book it. Distinctive style design, private beach, wooden villas (large and comfortable enough), essential oil spa, barbecue, snorkeling; great breakfast; I have to mention that the staff from top to bottom are very friendly and polite. I came here with my friends for three days and two nights, and I will bring my family back. I recommend staying for 4-6 days to really enjoy the slow life.

The hotel is on a separate beach. Only the hotel's guests can enter the entire beach. The staff are also very enthusiastic. Every time they see you, they will greet you enthusiastically. The hotel's free breakfast is very rich and delicious. It's a pity that the weather was bad and we didn't go snorkeling. But when we left, we saw a lot of fish at the hotel's pier. It was very suitable for snorkeling. The captain was also very enthusiastic. There are trees behind the hotel, and there are a lot of small ants.
