Verdict
Tenggol Coral Beach Resort is one of the two resorts on Pulau Tenggol, on Teluk Air Tawar, the bay on the west coast. It sells full-board dive and snorkel packages, with rooms that range from male and female dorms and a concrete Standard Room block to beachfront chalets and hillside and seaview villas.
It has a PADI dive centre, a 1.5 m pool, a restaurant and a free guided hike to Sunset Point each evening at 6:15 pm. A 3D2N snorkel package with two trips starts at RM830 per person (four sharing a Bayview Chalet, weekdays, before 8% SST); a 3D2N dive package with four dives starts at RM1,050, for certified divers only. Snorkel gear comes with a RM50 refundable deposit; a full set of dive gear is RM90 a day. The food is halal, and you can bring your own alcohol for RM30 corkage.
The catch is the terms. Everything is non-refundable, including when the weather stops the boat, and the resort’s own pages disagree on whether you can change dates. The boat is extra, and staying over a Friday or Saturday adds about RM110–120 per person. There is one boat a day each way, and it leaves the island at 8:30 am, so check-out is at 8 am. Phone signal is Celcom only, in patches, and internet is paid satellite at RM15 per GB.
Good for
Divers and snorkellers on most budgets, including groups happy to share a room or a dorm.
Not for
Anyone who needs a refundable booking, steady phone signal or a slow last morning.
