X Rector Finest

Our stay at X Rector in Tioman was incredible! Before arriving, we saw the glowing 4.9-star reviews, but once we got there, we totally understood why. X Rector, run by Wee and his family, is a peaceful gem in the quiet kampung of Genting. It's much calmer than the busier Paya village nearby. Wee, a free diving and snorkeling instructor, runs X Rector with his parents. His mom, "Wai Po," made us feel at home with her delicious cooking, and his nephew, Gabriel, took us on a lovely sunset walk to Gua Gelamin on our first day. The real highlight was the snorkeling! Unlike past experiences where we were just thrown into the water, Wee took time to teach us everything we needed to know, making the whole experience fun and safe. The 1.5-hour lesson really boosted our confidence. Then, during the trip, Wee personally guided us, pointing out all the cool sea creatures and even bringing us into a cave. And Wai Po? At over 70, she’s still diving and swimming with turtles—amazing! We loved it so much that we went snorkeling again the next day. This trip blew all our previous travels out of the water (literally!). We can’t wait to return to Tioman and X Rector!

Cosy and very clean homestay next to the beach. Very kind and friendly owner and staffs. Next to humble stalls selling delicious local home cooked meals. We had the most memorable snorkelling trip. The advance snorkelling taught to us really help us to explore and enjoy the beautiful corals and sea creatures around Tioman island.

Great experience! The accommodations were clean and comfortable. Mr. Wee provided knowledgeable guides and safety instructions, ensuring a great experience even for those who are not good in swimming. Overall experience was fun and enjoyable. Highly recommended for snorkelling enthusiasts!

The owner, Mr. Wee, and his family are exceptional. If you want to visit or snorkel on this island, Mr. Wee is extremely knowledgeable and serious. He provided us with the best snorkelling tours. Furthermore, we had a big problem with transportation to leave the island and Mr. Wee's help was invaluable. We will forever be extremely grateful. It is a basic hotel but it is highly recommended. It has everything you need and it is clean and cosy.

This is my third times travel to pulau tioman kg genting and third times i stay at x rector minsu,pulau tioman.The room still same as i stay before (4 years ago)tidy, clean, everything is convenient. The most special thing is provide advance snorkelling lesson. For those who are not good in swimming , that one is a good lesson before snorkelling. From my previous snorkelling experience, location snorkelling very attracted me.
