Service was impeccable. Staff was super attentive to our needs, generous, polite, friendly. Food was equally excellent - something that surprised me because hotel food arent usually as good as this. Kudos to the chefs and F&B team. The environment was so peaceful & tranquil. Beautiful sandy beach. Rooms are large and spacious, full of character. Housekeeping team did a wonderful job of cleaning the rooms so very often and making sure they were always sparkling clean.

Being on the quiet coral beach.

Brilliant trip from the moment we arrived. Kenny is the best resort manager I have ever met, he makes every visitor feel welcome and has time for everyone. His team are excellent, looking after holiday makers with a smile on their faces. The most idealic location ever. 100% would recommend this place, total tropical paradise.

“Recommended, was recommended to us, would come again.”

Small, private resort by the beach with decent snorkling. Bigger fish due to protected area. They arrange snorkling and diving tours at competitive prices, providing snorkling equipment, fruit, water. We tried a trip to Renggis Island, very many fish, recommended. Massage was professional. Competitive pricing. We stayed 6 nights in a Seacliff Chalett with balcony and sea view. Clean, checked several times a day, incl. drinking water. Comfortable bed, working aircondition and fan (needed), separate wash room, bathroom with access to balcony, balcony with private feel and great view. Visits by birds, squirrels and monkeys, which were friendly - dominant male needed a show of power at day one and since then we agreed to mutual respect. 3 restaurants were open: Malay with western options especially for breakfast. Italian, and finally a grill restaurant for evenings and sundown drinks on the jetty. Great breakfast, many options, free juices and lassies, fruits, incl. nice details such as homemade yoghurt and toasting your bread over coal. Tried the Italian restaurant once, all dishes were superb. Grill restaurant offered fresh fish but also classic grill menu with burgers, and angus steak, spid, etc. and sunset cocktails. Diet: All staff very observant re. glutenfree for one person. You can walk to Genting, a bit tricky due to lack of maintenance of pathways/bridges, and easier continuing on to Paya. Took taxiboat back - got booking help from the restaurant right by the jetty. Also, worth walking a short but steep path up to a view site, just above the resort. Professional operation by Kenny and team. Very friendly staff, always ready to help, personal touch. Many small details increased the personal touch - I won’t mention them to allow you to have the full experience.

“Lovely weekend getaway from Singapore”

Nice private location, and very lovely staff. Kudos to Kenny and his wonderful team for taking good care of us. The food options were great too.

“A beautiful resort with thoughtful and helpful staff”

The location is beautiful, with its own beach and jetty. From the moment you arrive to when you leave, the Staff went above expectations. The room turn around in the mornings was fast, invisible, and thorough. The staff remembered preferences for coffee and where we liked to sit in the restaurant. The extra add-on package we purchased was completely worth it - the afternoon tea was a lovely break after relaxing or swimming, the sundowner cocktails where tasty and different each day, the turn-down service each evening was such a lovely touch with the bedtime cookies and small drink. Tea selection in the rooms was great, and the plunge pool / verandah area was cleaned and tidy each day. We also went diving and the dive leader was knowledgeable and safe - we received a safety brief prior to each dive and assistance with equipment. Overall, I wish we could have stayed longer at this resort. Super relaxing and also private with cabins scattered about the jungle property without line of sight to each other.

“You won't regret it, exceptional and unforgettable”

The staff was caring, the best room i ever hard !

“Overall, it’s a decent place, especially in the high season, when the island’s nature and services are likely at their b”

A small, charming hotel on the coast with cozy little villas. Breakfast is excellent, with a menu to choose from, and lunch and dinner can also be ordered à la carte — no buffet lines, which is a nice touch. The hotel operates even during the off-season, which is a big plus! You can book excursions or arrange services outside the hotel. Staff meet you by boat from the ferry, adding a touch of convenience. Keep in mind, though, that life on the island really starts to pick up only after the monsoon season ends, around March 25.

“Perfect location for recreation and enjoying excellent food and lovely nature”

We spent 11 nights here at the beginning of the monsoon season (mid-November) and were lucky as it only rained for the last two days, otherwise it was sunny and hot. The hotel is a very lovingly designed small complex that blends in perfectly with its surroundings and almost disappears into the rainforest. Great importance is obviously attached to sustainability, which can be seen from the building materials to the rubbish bins (no plastic bags). The water quality in the restaurant and on the island is excellent and the water is safe to drink, even for Europeans. The rooms are detached, large, comfortable and lovingly furnished huts that are connected to each other and to the centre of the resort (reception, Tamarind restaurant, spa...) by wooden walkways. There are different categories - from those that stand "in the back", i.e. in the middle of the rainforest to those that are enthroned above the cliffs and offer a magnificent sea view to particularly large chalets with their own small infinity pool situated almost directly on the beach. The staff is extremely friendly, helpful and courteous and cater to guests' every wish. There are three restaurants in the resort. Due to the season (monsoon, few guests), the small restaurant directly at the end of the jetty was closed. In the "Tamarind" restaurant you could enjoy Italian and Malay cuisine. There is a very long time slot for breakfast from early morning to mid-afternoon. As there were so few guests present, there was no buffet but breakfast was served instead. First there was toast with butter and jam and a platter of tropical fruit, plus coffee, tea and various fruit/yoghurt cocktails. Then you could choose from a large selection of sweet and savoury "main courses" for breakfast, from French toast to crepes, waffles, eggs in any style, sausages, bacon, ham and cheese to even a Malay soup pot.

“Peaceful stay with excellent staff”

Beautiful beach and friendly staff

“In love with Japamala Eco Resort”

We loved absolutely everything about this EcoResort. The room had a very nice and neat decoration, the bed was very comfortable and the air conditioning worked very well. The entire team, without exception, has been super friendly and we feel that they have cared for us throughout our stay with love. The food at all 3 restaurants was delicious, especially the fresh grilled fish and seafood. The beach is gorgeous and perfect for snorkeling (you can see lots of colourful fish). Definitely one of the best hotels I have been to and I will surely return.

“Excellent, everything he had hoped for”

A stunning resort and location, situated on the beach, next to the jungle. It is real castaway territory. The staff could not have been more helpful and the food was remarkably good given the isolated location, with 3 choices to eat; a local Malay restaurant, a small Italian restaurant and a BBQ on the jetty, all excellent.

The food was amazing and the hospitality was great!

“Serene and calm”

Beautiful setting in the jungle overlooking the sea
