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

Excellent service staff. Hotel and amenities not as expected. Food was good as well.

Because it was the off-season, there were only two couples in the entire resort, so we were given an annual fee to upgrade our room to a sea view room with a great view! ! ! Due to the weather, we did not go snorkeling and only went out to sea to fish. Although we caught fish, the hotel made a mistake. The fish served for dinner was not the fish we caught ourselves! I have to say, the chef’s cooking skills are really good~

we've been travelling South East Asia for over a year and have stayed at over 150 hotels - THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST - set on a private beach between crystal clear sea and lush verdant jungle this is the destination we were hoping to find - RUSTIC LUXURY - traditional kampong style wooden villas with comfy western living - we don't use this term lightly but the staff are truly amazing and you get a wholly personalised service !! - the food and drinks are top notch (malay and italian) - make sure you BOOK DIRECT to get extra complimentary benefits !! - these include: anytime breakfast, afternoon tea and snacks, evening cocktails, turn down with chocolate and port wine - SHOUL

Very special place for relaxing holiday, extremely friendly and helpful staff! We felt super pampered and comfortable in our beautiful room surrounded by jungle. The food was incredible, big portions, fresh ingredients expertly cooked by their chef. Big thank you for Bella, Edwin and the other staff in the hotel! Can’t recommend this place more! We will definitely come back here with our family!

We stayed a whole week at the resort and enjoyed the kind and gentle attention of it personnel. Despite the heavy rainfall, they kept their smiles and remained attentive to our every needs. The rooms of the resort are beautifully furbished and the bedding is really comfortable. This is an absolute quiet zone - no other access but the sea!

Where to begin! What an incredible stay. We recommend reaching the island with Cataferry, premium cabin. Transfer time from Singapore to Mersing was 2.5 hours (contrary to the resort’s advice of 5 hours!) and 4.5 hours for the Mersing to Kuala Lumpur leg. We found our own private taxi services which were much cheaper than other quotes received and we’d happily pass on their contact details to any future travellers. The speedboat from Genting to the resort was a quick 5 minute journey. We were in a seaview room which whilst it was lovely, became unbearably hot at night even with the fan on, and this combined with animals (frogs/lizards) inside the room, didn’t make for great sleeping. The housekeeping team were helpful at removing the animals but it appeared that general wear and tear enabled their entry. A storm one night also had rainwater pouring into the room, which again was quickly investigated by the team the following day but wasn’t ideal at 3am! The permitted usage of a drone by other guests was pretty intrusive (and actually appears was in contravention of Malaysian law). The spa was unavailable as they don’t have a therapist, however we were able to obtain a massage at another resort. The sundowners were lovely but the night it was held in Tamarind due to bad weather was actually more enjoyable than some of the other extremely windy nights at the jetty bar - it would be good to have the option of sundowners at either? Per another review, we also noticed there is zero flexibility r.e food/drink adjustments, and minor requests (e.g no mushrooms) often fell on deaf ears (we think this was often due to a language barrier issue, especially at breakfast). Again more flexibility in general wouldn’t go amiss. Lastly, I came down with stomach issues for the second half of our stay which put a dampener on things but at least my partner was unaffected. Let us caveat all of the above with the following. The service was absolutely second to none, and the staff could not have done more for us. They truly make Japamala what it is and John and Edwin in particular are an absolute credit to the resort. We were always overjoyed to find out if John would be serving us each day, and remember our chats with him very fondly. Edwin took us on a snorkelling trip which was superb and helped us swim with sharks and turtles, and also took us on a sunset trek. Zahaim (apologies for any misspelling) in the Lobby was another friendly face. Having heard that we hadn’t seen monkeys yet, both John and Edwin separately came and found us on our last day to show us the monkeys. Similarly on our last day, John ensured our afternoon tea drinks order was ready and waiting for our arrival from snorkelling - it’s the little touches like this that make such a difference, and is what really separates Japamala from other resorts. The level of personalised service we got there was the best we’ve received anywhere in the world. The two restaurants were amazing and exceeded exp

A very beautiful place, a very wonderful place-- so thank you very much. Living as we do on the other side of the world, we looked carefully for somewhere where we could be quiet after a busy week of work in Singapore, longing to walk into the water and see its wonders. Bali was possible, but at a friend's suggestion, we chose Tioman Island. The Japamala Resort satisfied every hope, known and unknown. The sea and sand was all we imagined and needed, our room was creatively curated in a Polynesian style, the food was different and unique (and tasty!), and the staff were exemplary. Mike stands out in his role overseeing the hospitality, characteristically eager and kind, able and willing to do anything needed to make our time a pleasurable one. Everything from the restaurants to the masseuse to the watermen who helped with the snorkeling, we were grateful for each one. Do we recommend? Yes, and yes again! --- Washington DC
