Tunamaya Resort & Spa
To say that Tunamaya Resort is a private retreat that's value for money would be an understatement.
The resort has a distinct feel of a secluded paradise, yet won't necessarily break the bank.
The tastefully designed and quality-constructed chalets look like they've been positioned with the beautiful natural terrain in mind; each unit being almost one with either the verdant jungle on one side or the beautiful beach-scape on the other.
Whichever takes your fancy, the vista is always stunning.

The grounds are immaculately maintained and the reception/restaurant/bar area is breezy and cool.
Tunamaya Resort is not just a retreat for lounging by the pool, because you can snorkel, scubadive, go trekking, even hike across the jungle to the next village.
That said, if you're satisfied with just a swimming pool, then you're in luck, because the pool here is an infinity pool and a pretty one at that.
Tunamaya Resort is quite a recent addition to Tioman and it's located on the blissfully tranquil south coast, great if you want to relish a few days away from the noisy city.

But keep in mind that its remoteness means there are neither little shops nearby to pop round for some groceries, nor family-run eateries for a simple meal.
Mind you, even though our stay was short and we didn't get to partake of the full range of dishes offered, cuisine-wise we had no complaints whatsoever. Quite the contrary. In fact, we've decided to return for a longer stay later this year.
Conclusion
Tunamaya Resort is a keeper, that much is sure. Tunamaya's offerings include beautiful surroundings, tastefully designed rooms, superb service, exciting activities, a divine spa, simply scrumptious dishes and, best of all, Tunamaya Resort is priced attractively.
Interestingly, the resort is great for couples out for a romantic stay, as well as for families with kids, because there's plenty of fun to be had for the little ones.
Tip: If you appreciate the soothing serenades of cicadas and rustling trees, then choose a jungle villa. You'll wake up to the sound of nature's music - simply fantastic
