We have spent three outstanding days in this resort. Right in the heart of a jungle, deep in the nature, quiet, elegant. The staff is amazing… there is an extreme attention payed to the details. Restaurants are just perfectly blended in this relaxing scenario. The highest volume sound you’ll hear are the waves… Strongly suggested if you want to find peace and be back in harmony with nature. Wellness along the sea. ##### SERGIO LUIGI Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elaine May 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Den beste ferien!

The majority seems poorly trained. The cuisine was simply horrible. The same group used to have a restaurant in Singapore where the same dishes were superb, however in Malaysia they were unforgivingly poorly made ##### GIUSEPPINA Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven Dec 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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!

De accommodatie was ruim, luxe en heel erg schoon. Het personeel is ontzettend vriendelijk en behulpzaam en het eten ter plekke erg lekker. Er is een Italiaans en Aziatisch restaurant op het resort, met erg goede chefs. Gelukkig maar, want het is door de ligging niet gemakkelijk buiten het resort te gaan eten. We hebben al op heel veel plekken in de wereld gereisd, maar nergens zo’n geweldige service en vriendelijke mensen getroffen. Je kon gratis snorkelspullen lenen en vanuit het strand en het paviljoen zo de zee in met redelijk mooi koraal. Op 10 minuten varen ligt Renggis Island waar het koraal erg mooi is. Daar hebben ze schildpadden, haaien en clownfish (Nemo) gezien. Ook op het resort zat veel wildlife: varanen, apen, (vliegende) eekhoorns. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marco Aug 27, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bella esperienza La definizione di "rustico-ecologico-lussuoso" del gestore è assolutamente appropriata.

Blue water ferry from mersing to genting was an awful experience and I didn’t feel safe ..all resorts on tioman depend on the ferry for guests so in their interest to put pressure on ferry company to up their game .. everything from getting ticket to chaotic boarding to the boat itself being tatty and well below par ...and I didn’t feel safe I would gladly come back to japamala but not until the transfer from mersing is better The japamala resort used to have their own speedboat and so I was expecting that when I booked ... the website should make it clearer that you have to arrange your own transfer from mersing to genting on tioman. There is a new boat for japamala coming soon apparently .. the sooner the better ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Alexander Jan 26, 2019 Disliked: Staff & service #### Tragiskt En ren katastrof, vi upplever hotellets vilja att att gå kunder till mötes obefintlig. Tvärtom har dom mage att påstå att vi som nygift par som bokat in vår vistelse på deras hotell skulle ljuga. Bakgrund: När vi kom till Malaysia fick vi höra att vädret på Tioman Island vid denna tidpunkt på året är mycket instabilt. Vid kontakt med svenska ambassaden bekräftades detta och för att ytterligare vara säkra innan vi ändrade resmål ringde vi färjeterminalen man utgår från på fastlandet innan man åker till Tioman Island vilket för övrigt ät enda sättet att komma dit då Beryaja Airways sedan år 2011 lagt ner sin flygtrafik till Tioman Island. I vilket fall så konstaterade färjeterminalen att vädret är instabilt och att hälften av alla färjeavgångar behöver ställas in. Då vi behövde kunna lita på att hinna med vårt flyg hem tvingades vi att byta resmål i Malaysia och åkte till Langkawi där vädret vid tidpunkten var bra. Då vi känner oss besvikna över att vår smekmånad behövde bli på detta sätt har vi kontaktat Hotels.com och fått stor förståelse för vårt problem. Handläggaren behövde bara ringa och bekräfta med hotellet att en återbetalning var ok och det är här problemen börjar. Japamala påstår att vädret vid denna tidpunkt (januar 2019) varit bra och vägrar göra en återbetalning. Vi kan bara konstatera att detta hotell måste ha mycket stora ekonomiska problem som värderar 8 000 SEK (bokningens värde) högre än det tapp i PR man kommer få av detta inlägg. Tragiskt. ##### Alexander Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### HIRO, TOKYO Jan 18, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 最高のロケーション、最高のホテルスタッフ ##### HIRO Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mitch Jan 13, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Can not say enough Good Things!!
