Lock in a great price for Tuna Bay Island Resort – rated 8.4 by recent guests!

to get started.

- fine sand was awesome. We loved it! - food was absolutely amazing! Everything (and we tried a lot even the seafood) was so delicious! - great idea of tiny houses right on the beach (beautinful accomodation) - I appreciate own broom at the our porch and the water faucet infront of the house (to remove sand from feet), that was handy - few people (beach wasn't full of people) that's what I appreciated the most. - Tuna Bay Island Resort beach was very nice and clean <3 - it was super close to the beach

Miroslava, Czech Republic

Nur, Malaysia

Hot water in the shower, 20 min through the jungle you get a nicer beach with a better restaurant.

Vibeke, Norway

The breakfast was great. Lots of options, amazing waffles. The beach was good, beautiful coral there but it is not good for kids as it is hard to walk on and they cannot swim easily without someone by their side so we had to go to the beach opposite Abdul's chalets where the beach was amazing. So, in Tuna bay you get the two options nearby. we booked one snorkeling trip through them and it was amazing.

Omar, United Arab Emirates

Its a very peaceful place to escape from work! Just by looking at the sea, really helped me to ease my mind! I had a great stay with my husband! Plus, we just snorkeled around the beach, they have great corals too! Just bring your own equipment. Also, the food from the restaurant is delicious too, you don't have to go far to eat!

Farah, Malaysia

Staff are great but the accomodation is very poor for your money. Far better options around the bay for less

“It was very nice. I realized, that it is fine place even for children. I'd come again.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Deluxe Garden Chalet
- • Stayed 3 nights
- a lot of boats (the fact that in the water had to be the buoy-barrier) - it wasn't possible to buy drinks during the day (it was able only in the evening) - mess on other beaches near the property (that way from hotel to the shark point) there was such a mess under trees (it is place still visible from the beach - but it wasn't on the beach of the Tuna Bay Island Resort) - I didn't know about night entertainment - I don't even know that there was any.... :-( - the cleanliness of the public toiletes at the main house/common area (where the reception and restaurant are) was ugly late during the day (in the morning it was good), maid should go there more often, I know it is all about the people, and that is sad. - we weren't lucky with neighbours last nights of our stay (we realized high sound transmission of the common wall and under common door)

“Probably wouldn't stay there again by choice - at least not at the end of the season”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Deluxe Standard Chalet
- • Stayed 5 nights
Bar and restaurant run by 2 sullen elderly gentlemen. G & T n Margarita a bit short on spirits. Potentially brilliant place if they were friendlier and there was some good music in the background to encourage a bit of atmosphere - but big TVs and the bar manager eating his dinner behind the bar doesn't really cut it..... lots of the other staff were lovely, though. End of season worn out resort, perhaps? - they were tidying up ready to close up a few days after we left. (There were still lots of other guests, though)
Some of the food was very good. Lots of the junior staff were very pleasant and friendly. On a great beach beside other food and drink opportunities. Very easy to take a sea taxi to other beaches or Perhentian Kecil. Great snorkelling very nearby, in very clear water.

Some staff were not very nice nor helpful. Accommodation was a bit basic and could do with some updates but the main suggestion for improvement would be to offer water for refill. A lot of European customers would be very happy to pay a bit more to get free water to avoid crating so much plastic waste to help the environment.
Great location and great restaurant. Some of the staff were very helpful and friendly.

Everything was great. If I had to name one thing, the beds were quite hard for our taste.
We had a beachfront chalet. Absolutely gorgeous. From our bed, open the door and you are on the beautiful beach. Food was diverse and good. From Chinese, Malay, Thai, Indian and Western food. Breakfast was ok, nothing special but good enough. The coffee was probably the first proper one I had in weeks! Not an americano nor espresso, just a caffe forte which is basically caffe lungo. Perfect. Beach was clean too and comfortable beds. Even good for a bit of snorkling. Lots of pretty fish! Staff always helpful and kind. They also organise snorkling trips which was great too. Absolute good value for money!

The beach was clean, and the cozy enough for a snorkel. Food was good, staff was friendly, facility in the room was basic, with no TV or WiFi. WiFi is only available at the Cafe.
