Highly recommend a stay at Japamala on the island of Tioman during any stay in Malaysia. Absolute bliss with accommodation amongst the rainforest overlooking a beautiful (and quiet) beach. Staff were very friendly, food in both restaurants was great, setting absolutely beautiful, surroundings relaxing and tranquil and to cap it off a lovely touch with complimentary cognac, chocolates, flowers and...

Stayed at the end of May 2013. Was a terrific end to our time in Malaysia. There are only 16 chalets so the resort never feels crowed and the staff:guests ratio is very high so you always feel like the staff (who were all fantastic) are attending to your every need. Because the resort is so small it does feel... More

Superb location away from the rest of the world. A dozen plus luxury chalets serviced by friendly dedicated staffs. i will try not to repeat what others have said. Great for couples since its almost feel like two stranded on an island. We went fishing and caught more than enough fishes for 10 people feast, which the chef at tamarind... More

My husband and i stayed at Japamala 20-27th May. We had the most relaxing week. It was a perfect end to our trip in Malaysia. The staff were lovely and helpful. We would recommend this place to anyone who wants peace and quite. We stayed at the Hillside and also seaview sarang. Both were amazing in there own way. If... More

This is a really tough review; does the resort warrant more praise or the staff? The resort is absolutely gorgeous. We had booked a tree top chalet, but the sweet and super efficient Aruni had thoughtfully upgraded us to a Jangle room. You get to your rooms by climbing bridges above the jungle flora. wE used to spot small and... More

We stayed here for a week in March/April 2013 and the difficulty in reviewing our stay at Japamala is where to start! The staff. They were wonderful. The manager, Aruni, as well as Bel, Mike and everyone else were efficient, friendly without being obtrusive, and at all times helpful. Nothing was a bother. The hillside sarang was lovely (and we...

Me and my friends went to Japamala resort, Tioman last February for a weekend getaway. Its was the ultimate retreats and the service was personalised. From start of the journey until checking out of the resort, Bell & Mike was so attentive to us thoughout the whole trip. Food in the Thai restaurant was so good that I left I... More

I love the place and the environment but the penghulu house that I stayed got me tones of bed bugs bite!! My wife got bitten and I was bitten the worst, I can't sleep at night due to the itch! Got at least 60 bite marks red swollen and itch! Never in my life of traveling I got this bites... More

This is is my second time and Japamala Resort and the team does not fail to impress me. A place like home I would say, cos all their staff were to friendly and very helpful. My friends and I enjoyed our stay here. Even the foods that they serve in their restaurant is just delicious. Not to forget their cocktails... More
