Great location, really good service. The pool is not there anymore, but the beach is fine and crystal clear water. They could improve the menu with a daily special as the a la carte is good but limited and get a little boring after some days. But all in all highly recommend. Last comment, limited ferry service to and from the island.

Wonderful. We have spent three outstanding days in this resort. Right in the heart of a jungle, deep in the nature, quiet, elegant. The staff is amazing… there is an extreme attention payed to the details. Restaurants are just perfectly blended in this relaxing scenario. The highest volume sound you’ll hear are the waves… Strongly suggested if you want to find peace and be back in harmony with nature. Wellness along the sea.

Are you tired of big resorts with swimming pools and lots of guests, vendors and jet skis – Travel to Tioman Island and the rustic Jambamala resort and experience the tranquility, crystal clear water and very good food from breakfast to dinner. Jambamala has sustainability and recycling as its guiding principles so the jetties are partly made of recycled wood but the accommodation is very high standard with everything you could need for a perfect stay. Jabamala offers snorkeling trips and jungle walks to waterfalls but there are also plenty of exciting fish at the jetty. The hotel and beach can take a maximum of about 35 guests and there is therefore plenty of room for everyone. We had 5 perfect days and would love to come back again. The staff keeps the beach and surroundings in very good condition and always has a smile on their faces. The effect of ebb and flow is quite large, you can always swim from the jetty but this means that the boats to Tioman depart a little unevenly due to the flood. As the chalets are beautifully situated on a steep slope surrounded by jungle but with a beautiful view of the sea, you should have full mobility as there can be a lot of steps to manage. No major problem as you probably prefer to spend your time near the sea, the food and the good drinks

A very beautiful place, a very wonderful place-- so thank you very much. Living as we do on the other side of the world, we looked carefully for somewhere where we could be quiet after a busy week of work in Singapore, longing to walk into the water and see its wonders. Bali was possible, but at a friend's suggestion, we chose Tioman Island. The Japamala Resort satisfied every hope, known and unknown. The sea and sand was all we imagined and needed, our room was creatively curated in a Polynesian style, the food was different and unique (and tasty!), and the staff were exemplary. Mike stands out in his role overseeing the hospitality, characteristically eager and kind, able and willing to do anything needed to make our time a pleasurable one. Everything from the restaurants to the masseuse to the watermen who helped with the snorkeling, we were grateful for each one. Do we recommend? Yes, and yes again! Washington DC

We starved because of the bad cuisine

The staff is scarce and it is very difficult to get hold of them. The majority seems poorly trained. The cuisine was simply horrible. The same group used to have a restaurant in Singapore where the same dishes were superb, however in Malaysia they were unforgivingly poorly made
