Verdict
Tunamaya is a 54-room resort on Tioman’s south coast, between the villages of Nipah and Mukut. The ferry does not stop there; the resort’s own boat fetches guests from Genting jetty, free for anyone arriving on the public ferry.
Rates come as room and breakfast, or as packages with buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner and activities. Families are welcome, and children 12 and over pay the adult rate. Dated guest reviews show it taking guests through October 2026.
The catch is the food and the beach. Meals are buffets with no à la carte, so you eat what the resort serves, and a guest in October 2026 found the bar poorly stocked. The beach is reef, good for snorkelling but not for swimming. The resort’s own website was down when we checked in November 2026.
Good for
Families and couples who want a quiet resort, snorkelling off the beach and a simple ferry connection.
Not for
Anyone who wants to swim off the beach, eat à la carte or walk to a village.
