Verdict
Melina Beach Resort is a small resort of chalets and sea-view rooms on its own beach, in a cove between Kampung Paya and Kampung Genting on Tioman’s west coast, with jungle behind.
Rooms are simple and air-conditioned, with mosquito nets and hot showers; guests single out the beachfront chalets. Breakfast is a buffet, and the resort restaurant serves lunch and dinner. Staff run snorkelling trips in the resort’s boat at extra cost. 2026 guest reviews on Booking.com and Trip.com date from March to September, and Booking.com scores it 8.7 from 271 reviews, with staff rated highest.
The catch is isolation. Booking.com guests score the Wi-Fi 5 out of 10, and a July 2026 guest found almost no phone signal. Dinner must be ordered hours ahead, guests say the menu repeats after a couple of days, and the villages are a walk along the beach or a jungle path away; a September 2026 guest called the sea taxis expensive. Booking.com lists cash as the payment method at the resort, so bring enough.
Good for
Couples and families who want a quiet beach, simple chalets and a few days offline.
Not for
Anyone who needs reliable Wi-Fi, wants a choice of restaurants or plans to explore the island every day.
