tioman island reviews

Me and my wife enjoyed our stay in Berjaya Tioman resort. Very nice surroundings! The room was a little bit less than may be expected by the pictures on internet. Good breakfast- buffet.
Highly recommendend to go by boat. We went to Tioman island as a little break in our world-trip to relax. As we suffered some problems in India before we where really wanting to relax.
The pity was the airplane to Tioman island from Berjaya air. This is really an old plane and we had a whole day delay > 8 hours. and missed this day in the resort. The planes are very old and the parts for repairing are not always there. Our plane was broken down and they "repaired" it. Also be warned that this is an 10 kg allowence flight for your luggage. On the airport are lockers so you can leave something behind and pick it up later.
It happens more often flights get cancelled, sometimes it last 3 days.
The other option is to go by boat. We had not done this, but I think this is the better option, also for your luggage.
When you go to this island, I can highly recommend the round-the-island private trip by speed-boat. If you are with 4 persons it is almost the same price per person as the big organised trip thing on an old boat and with a lot of people on the same spot.
Have fun!
