Paya Beach site is very crowed but it has nice beaches and a lot diving shops. The resort was fine, it has all you can think of in the rooms and in the resort. The welcoming was nice presented and the people was wonderful, always with an smile in the face. To get there, i recommend to take Cataferry with AC and you get your own seat.

Nice dive sites and dive facilities

The resort was nice place to stay but they have to maintain some work on the property and they must keep the property more clean.
3.7
Bedsheets and towels were stained and overall cleanliness is very poor
Development is very old and needs maintenance
Rooms are small and can see others room very easily no privacy
Tioman is nice and that’s what made our stay good not the hotel so much
3.7
The location is amazing and set in a beautiful shallow beach which is stunning. The hotel itself is run down and in need of an overhaul. We are not overly fussy and enjoyed our time swimming and just hanging around but don’t come with high expectations of a 4 star resort.
3.7
Unique location and good variaty on activities. The place could do with some new paint here and there, the staff is very nice (issues in the room were taken care of immediately). In the restaurant we were forgotten several times. Had to ask more than 4 times to be served, point of improvement.
3.7
We had a great time at Paya. As expected (from the reviews) personnel wasn’t great but certainly good enough. Food wasn’t bad and we were glad we had some options in the Kampung. The location is excellent and the scuba services were fine. Snorkeling is great and we made a few delightful hikes.
3.7
Excellent if you wanna be away and secluded from the crowds
3.7
The location is sensational - right on the beach with easy access from the jetty. The staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating, with great customer service. The place is a little run down - not surprising after Covid - and needs a bit of TLC, but the management are working hard to bring it back to its former glory and it just needs more guests to help fund their efforts. The food isn't the best, but everything else makes up for it. Highly recommend.

For Indians, they need to provide more vegetarian options

Great place to stay with my family for a week. Close to some decent snorkelling from the beach, a good (if sometimes a bit busy) restaurant. The deluxe suite we stayed in was spacious and we loved the outdoor bath!
3.7
The place is lively and pleasant overall. The rooms are quite spacious and clean. The restaurant serves a very good variety of food and wine.

I enjoyed the whole stay. The staff were friendly. The place was super cleaned and well maintained eventho the place being vacant for along time due to pandemic. I went there few days after the interstate travel was allowed. Just the experience with the ferry wasn't pleasant.

Papa beach resort is one of the resort's in the Tioman Island. Tioman Island has one or two resorts in each stretch of beach. This one has rooms very close to the beach. Staff is helpful. I suggest 3 night stay to enjoy the resort, the island and take great opportunities for snorkelling and diving. Rama the manager is extra helpful, talk to him for any support

Receptionist are friendly, hope can have more choice for breakfast

Do not have a nice beach and beach activities. Most ofcthe buildings are old and need upgrading.
3.7
Upon checking into our room, we had to request to immediately swap rooms due to the uncleanliness of the room, and the lack of a 'beach view' which we had paid for - the view was blocked by another building and a digger making a lot of noise. We were also greeted to rubbish on our porch/leftover food remains as we entered our room.
We were allocated a different room, and while we could just see a bit of the beach, the room is still extemeley unclean.
There are black hairs on the floor in many places, the room is worn and dated, the cold tap does not work on the shower making it extremely uncomfortable to shower. In addition the windows in the bathroom do not close.
There are bins overflowing throughout the resort

I like the pool.
The breakfast is okay, but could be better by adding a few more varieties.
The staffs are great, keep reminding us about the ferry schedule.

Great location by the beach. Welcoming and friendly staff, although not always the most attentive. The beach bar area was made exceptional by the service from Robin and Rodriguez. Robin never failed to chat with us and was very attentive, friendly and welcoming. He couldn't do enough for us. Excellent service.

No complains for the location and the kind staffs!
But the hotel needs more efforts for cleaning, especially bathroom.
I think there are some difference between photos and the real conditions.
Anyway I had a good time in Tioman at the resort
3.7
Don’t go to Tioman during monsoon season! You may be stranded on the island and everything is closed. Wind and waves cancel ferries.
When you book your stay make sure you get a stay at the beachfront.
Nice staff, helpful.

Chalets are infront of the beach. Best view. Staff is effecient and friendly.

The amenities of the resort were great.
Food was beyond amazing, i ate the Paya nasi goreng thrice during my stay as that's how delicious it was. I highly recommend it.
Since i was solo traveler, the staffs at the resort went beyond their call of duty to recommend me things i could do by myself, as most of the activities require at least 2 people or set to the price of 2 people.
Many of them were kind enough to recommend dishes i should try at a very cheap rate, guess cuz i was alone, and joined me while i was eating or drinking at the bar at night, i really found that very sweet
Also, please DONT hike on your own
The only issue were the 3G/4G but its not their fault; I was irritated for awhile, as i had of emails to reply, ironically you can get good 3G/4G at the beach.
So, i decided to set an auto-reply saying i am in a place with no 3G/4G don't expect any immediate responds. Took my phone, stuffed it deep down my bag pack, forgot about it and just enjoyed the island has to offer. And before i slept, walked towards to the beach and cleared my mails.
Besides the beauty of the island, the people was one of the key highlights!
Will definitely 100% return

we have few rooms at the end of the hotel.which is not suitable for lady to stay.and during day time open burning and the back of my room and the smoke /smell come in to my room.cannot rest .

Upgrade since last 6 year visit .... but tel and internet worse
3.7
The first room that was allotted to us was pathetic.. Seeing the condition, we went for an upgrade to a suite. That was OK, but certainly not to a suite standard.. The walls had stains, and paint peeling off from here and there.. Bathrooms were moldy.. Bed linen had a horrible perfume.. As far as outside facilities were concerned, swimming pool was dirty.. Reception area had a perpetual stink.. The rates were high, compared to other similar hotels in Malaysia, but the facilities were sub standard... Wifi was not available as a standard option.. It was chargeable.. Free Wifi was available only in reception, but that was ultra slow..
3.7
Overall had a great time. However the check-in and check-out was quite frustrating because the resort wanted to charge me :-a. breakfast for my only child upon check-inb. for my child stay We booked a deluxe seafront chalet that comes with one king sized bed and one queen bed for our family of 2 adults + 1 child (aged 11 years). Don't understand what had caused the blunder during check-in and check-outWhen I emailed the resort earlier, I was told that only 4th guest would be required to pay an additional of RM200.Therefore the entire process was not pleasant

Food not so nice

Breakfast was acceptable.
