Its too many monkey and they steal our food. The restaurant food choice is not much. Some weird smell in the toilet near restaurant and swimming pool seems like less maintenance. The view and beach is nice

The Tunamaya I went on 2017 & 2018 is definitely not the same as I went now in 2024. The place was once so lively and enjoyable now it’s seems like it’s dying. The rooms were okay but the toilets’s cleanliness is questionable as the seats were old, had to use slippers in the toilet. Now there’s monkeys going around stealing food and things and they might get violent plus they travel in groups. The food was expensive as expected and the taste was super average. Some days they just simply cook your food which may taste bland. Had to complain to the kitchen to bring a better meal. The beach was full of dead corals and rocks, unable to play much in there. Swimming pool was big and clean. But the hiking towards the waterfall was so good and the snorkelling activity was great.

A Serene Escape at Tunamaya Beach & Spa Resort, Tioman Island
Our recent stay at Tunamaya Beach & Spa Resort on Tioman Island was nothing short of spectacular. The resort boasts stunning scenic views of the bluish turquoise sea, perfectly contrasted by the majestic, mountain-like hill inland. The natural beauty of the surroundings provided a serene and picturesque backdrop that set the tone for a truly relaxing getaway.
Visiting during a period of low occupancy added to the peaceful ambiance, allowing my wife and I to fully unwind and enjoy the tranquility. The resort offers a range of sea-related activities, ensuring there's always something exciting to do. One of the highlights of our trip was night snorkeling – a unique experience that allowed us to explore the underwater world without the worry of sunburn. It was an unforgettable adventure that added a special touch to our stay.
While the resort has only one restaurant, the variety and quality of the food exceeded our expectations. There were numerous choices to suit different tastes, making each meal a delightful experience.
Overall, Tunamaya Beach & Spa Resort is an excellent choice for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. The combination of breathtaking views, peaceful surroundings, and engaging activities makes it a perfect destination for relaxation and rejuvenation. We left feeling refreshed.

Stayed 5days 4 nights its a great escape from the cities. People are so friendly and full of hospitality here. I have been travel for over 50 times alone this place makes me feel refreshed. Empty my mind and fully recharged. Do not expect this is a perfect resort and pla check in with a neutral mindset. The smile of all staff especially the manager are infectious! Highly recommended
4.2
Excellent location nice staff this is for a quiet time out of the hectic city . The area is limited in activities and a max of 4 days would be enough to spend there. Some of the cottages are a bit run down . Definitely worth doing
4.2
This is a remote sight to enjoy the beach, relaxing and to just slow down. And you can go diving or snorkeling from the property. Very enjoyable.
4.2
amazing setting. beautiful beachfront room a few metres from the beach and sea. all of the team looked after us so well and are having to work so hard to get everything up and running again as tourism opens up again in Asia. Thankyou so much for a wonderful week.

Great experience

I would recommend this resort. Breakfast was just ok. However, my lunches and dinners were very tasty and well presented. I enjoyed swimming at the beach and pool and the reef off the resort was surprising good. Better than expected. There were some maintenance issues around the resort but with less revenue coming in, to address these issues, due to travel restrictions over the last 2 years I can forgive same. But one thing I do take issue with is that the resort recommended that I book my transfers through Blue Water Ferries. Please ignore this request. Blue Water Ferries boats are poorly maintained, dirty and overcrowded. Many of us questioned how Malaysian authorities still allow this business to operate. Instead take Cataferry. These boats look better maintained and comfortable.
4.2
Wifi signal very low, However, if you forget your daily work, bustle, or busy days and want to relax as much as you want, there is no place like this.
4.2
Really nice place, very remote, on a gorgeous strip of island.
4.2
Truly appalling experience.We left after 1 night into a 6 night stay. And NO REFUND
Very poor food. No veggie option on menu.Terrible service (grossly understaffed) although the few staff that were there were very professional
Zero connectivity, 0.02 mb/s download speed in lobby. We accept this is a retreat but being able to use WhatsApp would be nice
Finally. There had been an oil spill 3 days prior to our arrival so we came out of the sea looking like Dalmatians.
Avoid until they get their act together.
The location is truly idyllic. Shame about the experience.
4.2
Nice facilities and the people are very accommodating

I stayed at Tunamaya with a friend. It was a great trip especially because the activity offer is quite broad. In general tunamaya is good for trip with friends but also as a Romaric getaway.
4.2
Nice island location, transportation not so convenience, Service imporve little will be best
4.2
A beautiful, remote place to unwind and relax. The beach is perfect, white sand and turquoise sea, a bit rocky to enter, but there are rock-free spots too (water shoes are recommended). Great for snorkelling (sharks included, but don't expect to see many, I saw a baby one and one other person saw the adult one). The resort organises snorkelling trips to other places which are worth exploring.
There were some hiccups with communication with some of the staff (English is not their first language) but overall they are all very friendly and helpful. Purified water is available free of charge and the place is kept clean and tidy at all times.
The nearest village is about an hours' walk away through the jungle (with another hour away to a waterfall), both worth visiting. If you're looking for night life and exceptional culinary experience, you won't find it here. But if you like reading, walking, swimming, snorkelling, beach tennis, volleyball and beautiful scenery - this place is perfect.
4.2
Amazing. Loved the quality of the hotel, the beach (saw baby sharks and rays everyday ) Coral is amazing, staff above all were excellent.
Highly recommend

Second time at Tunamaya for us. Surrounding area is magnificent. The resort is situated beautifully at Southern end of the Island. Staff is really making everything in their powers to satisfy your needs. Very natural, happy and eager to ensure your stay is the best.
As everything in this climate it takes its toll on buildings and rooms and with sandy beach only 10m from your room entrance of course some sand is brought with you but staff do it’s outmost and it’s always kept tidy and clean. So quiet and enjoyable. We will for sure be back again.
4.2
Very relaxing and quiet getaway. Resort staff very helpful and friendly. Beautiful grounds and clean well kept rooms.

The staff at Tunamaya Beach & Spa resort were very genuine, friendly, informative and efficient.The service could not be faulted. We enjoyed the food immensely as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our time staying in the beautiful location and the resort gardens were so nice. We enjoyed snorkeling in front of the resort. Had a great holiday. Thanks
4.2
Very quiet and nice view. Beach is super beatiful and good for kids.
Hotel stuff is very kind.
Food is also good quality but less choice.
One of room got aircon spoil but night time is cool so no need.
Recommend to stay

Lovely place to relax and enjoy the views, or get active with swimming, snorkelling and jungle treks.
Great snorkelling right off the beach. We also booked a 1 day boat trip from the hotel and went to two fantastic snorkelling sites.
The two-hour trek to Asah waterfall is well worth the effort.
The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, excellent views from the bar and restaurant and a good range of food and drink choices, to suit all tastes.
The infinity pool is a great place to swim and sun bathe if you don't fancy going into the sea.
The monkeys will keep you entertained, but don't leave your doors open unless you want visitors!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here - highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beach holiday on a beautiful island.

Nice place but it's far and too isolated. Need to go by boat to visit the villages. Hotel food not so appetising especially for long stays. Not much facilities. No gym.

Great location and welcoming staff. All round was a great place to stay and would recommend. Only place I have ever stayed that you can snorkel in front of your room and see a turtle and unbelievable marine life!!!
Only concern I have is service at restaurant is slow and they get orders confused. Sometimes your table will get main meals all at different times. Maybe something they will work on.

Wonderful place to stay, amazing service, not over-populated. loved it!!

This is a fantastic spot.Its quite a trip to get to Tioman Island, but worth it for the 5 night stay we had. Tunamaya is secluded - a magical Tropical Island spot. Given this, the villas were excellent and staff very helpful. Despite the tropical setting there were no biting insects!Snorkelling is easy and worthwhile in nearby coves / coral islets reached by boat - good tuition if a beginner.Food in the restaurant was of a high standard (especially given the limitations of bringing everything in), and varied enough for a stay of several days - excellent pizza as well as local food!

I personally informed the front desk one day before that our ferry (Cataferry) was to depart from Genting Jetty at 230pm on the 19 June 2018 and the resort offered two departure time which is at 11:45am or 1:30pm, we chose the 1:30pm slot and the reception told us to be at the lobby at 1pm on the day of departure. On the 19th June 2018 approximately 12pm, I gave a call to the reception to confirm our departure time and the receptionist told us they are well aware of it. At 1230pm, we were all at the lobby already and Alvin was there to check us out. At 130pm, the resort boat has yet to arrive and I spoke to Alvin and he told me the boat is on the way and there is a slight delay as the boat was moving against the huge waves. By 230pm, the boat has yet to arrive and we suspected that we might missed the ferry back to Tanjung Gemok and I approached Alvin, and he told me the ferry might be delayed as well as there are huge waves surrounding the island. Finally, the boat arrived at 245pm and we were taken to Tekek Village jetty as this was the main terminal. The weather was fine and the waves was calm when we were on the boat, we felt odd as it was not as what Alvin told us. We arrived at Tekek Jetty at around 325pm, and to our disappointment, the ferry has left and the person in charge of the resort boat, Brian offered us a solution, to purchase a new ferry ticket (4pm) to Mersing and take a taxi from Mersing to Tanjung Gemok and he will reimbursed the cost to us.

Enjoyable time with friends and families.
