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 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven 5 Dec 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!

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 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jan-Michel 28 Mar 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Es war ein wunderbar mystischer Ort der Entspannung in nahezu unberührter Natur.

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 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marco 27 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bella esperienza La definizione di "rustico-ecologico-lussuoso" del gestore è assolutamente appropriata.
