Verdict
Berjaya Tioman Resort sits on its own beach at the southern edge of Tekek, the island’s main village. It has about 270 chalets and suites, from 32.5 m² garden chalets to beachfront suites, plus an 18-hole golf course, the Ayura Spa, a buffet restaurant, a Thai and Indian restaurant and two bars.
The basic rate is room and breakfast. A premium rate adds lunch, afternoon tea and free-flow drinks, including alcohol. Check-in is from 3 pm and check-out by noon.
The catch is upkeep. Guests have complained about the size of the pool, the furniture and the mattresses, and management has replied that renovations and upgrades are going on in phases. Ask which rooms have been refreshed when you book.
Good for
Families and groups who want a full-service resort, golf and an easy arrival at Tekek.
Not for
Anyone who wants a small resort or freshly renovated rooms.
