Anastasiia TaranFirst of all, I want to thank every staff member at Tunamaya for their hospitality, professionalism, and attentive service to guests.
Secondly, I'd like to express my gratitude to the wonderful chefs who cooked absolutely everything deliciously!
Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy fresh, grilled seafood!
Thank you for the themed evenings; you truly aimed to surprise us, and you succeeded!
I wholeheartedly wish you prosperity and many more grateful tourists.
Now, let me tell you about our stay. A vacation at Tunamaya isn't what you'd call a typical beach holiday, as popular with Russian tourists. But, of course, people don't come to Tioman for that anyway. The nature here is incredibly beautiful, with views of the jungle and mountains – every time I walked to the restaurant from our bungalow, my heart soared with gratitude and awe at the beauty! It truly is a vacation for the soul!
The resort also offers diving and snorkeling equipment, a glass-bottom boat, and kayaks. There's an outdoor sports area where my husband exercised daily. And, of course, the cool, scenic poolside overlooking the sea was a great pleasure.
We also discovered a beach near and beyond the second, currently inactive pier. It's perfectly fine for swimming in clear water and taking beautiful photos. The views of the massive boulders and monoliths reminded us of the Seychelles, only the sea there was always calm. My husband and elder son also hiked through the village to the waterfall, bringing back many beautiful photos and impressions!
As for suggestions – I'd recommend sprucing up and beautifying the grounds. Some railings along the beach path are broken, and there are old pieces of furniture lying around.
I also wasn't very pleased with the condition of the toilet near the pool; I sincerely hope you find the means to do some cosmetic renovations there.
A pleasant bonus of being on the island was encountering the mischievous monkeys and monitor lizards. Despite the repellents, they found ways to roam the grounds, and that's wonderful because we are guests in their home! They are the true aboriginals of Tioman.
Once again, thank you, Tunamaya, for a fantastic vacation! Wishing you prosperity!!!

ChaogeFigures 1 to 5 are the interior and exterior of the hotel. The location is a relatively secret bay. There are about 20 such wooden villas in total. When you check in and leave the store, the staff will queue up to welcome you, but all employees will not be a little Chinese.
The so-called own beach, the water quality is not as good as near the public pier. Anyway, swimming, snorkeling and fishing are not good. There is basically no signal on the mobile phone. Only the hotel's own restaurant can eat. There is white rice (pizza, burger). Dinner needs to be booked before 14:00, otherwise you can be hungry. The price is not expensive, dare to say that he is poor, 18 MYR popsicles for your reference.
For foreigners who want to find a secret beach, after eating a free breakfast, they will mix from morning to night with a free beer. This hotel is very good for foreigners who are sunbathing on the beach. But for Chinese families like us who want to go swimming, snorkeling, fishing, and eating seafood, the holiday in this hotel has become a robbery, and everything can be achieved by the recent paya.
For this, you have two options: working time on a water taxi RM350; like us in Figure 6, an hour and a half back through the virgin forest full of mosquitoes and snakes...
Thank you for giving the hotel a ”special forces survival challenge tour”, and collect more than 500 MYR environmental tax before leaving!

We had a great stay at this resort in Genting, Tioman Island. The best part was that our room had direct access to the beach, and the surroundings were peaceful and quiet. It’s an ideal place for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with a traditional kampung vibe.
One downside was that there were quite a lot of ants in the room, but I suppose that’s fairly common on a tropical island.
Genting itself is very quiet and doesn’t have much to offer. If you want to join snorkeling or diving trips, they usually require a minimum of six participants. We were traveling with a child and wanted to go snorkeling, and the resort staff went the extra mile to make it happen by arranging for us to join guests from another resort. We really appreciated their effort.
If you’re looking for more activities or dining options, you can take a scenic 30-minute walk through the jungle to Paya Village, which is much livelier.
Overall, it was an enjoyable stay. The friendly and helpful staff made a big difference

the_wanderlust_jellyEverything was great except communication which was practically non existent. We had a lot of trouble trying to contact the owners and decided to just give up in the end. The accommodation was located at a short walk (750m) from the Tekek Jetty. There are sign along the road that points to the accommodation. Everything there was great especially the local cats who kept greeting us. There was even a pair of kitties(orange - male and white - female) that kept making out in front of our room 😂 during our stay there. Do keep a lookout for them if you are staying here 😏. The photo of the beaches is exactly the view we saw in front of the accommodation.

Guest UserOverall, we had a good stay at Paya Beach Resort. We visited during the off-peak weekday period, so it was very quiet and peaceful—perfect if you’re looking to relax and avoid crowds.
One downside was the number of mosquitoes, especially when opening the door, so that’s something to be mindful of. Another small issue was the exit green light in the room—it couldn’t be turned off at night, which felt a bit unusual and slightly disruptive when trying to sleep.
On the positive side, the breakfast buffet was enjoyable with a good selection of options.
Overall, a nice and tranquil place to stay, with a few minor areas that could be improved.

Room was clean. Location was good. It's only a 5 mins walk to restaurants, dive shops and convenience stores. Papaya Resort does not provide transport to/from the jetty but transport arrangements can be made with Cheers Chalet located just opposite the resort.
