3 days 2 nights exclusive trip to Tunamaya Beach and Spa Resort in Tioman Island

Tioman island is one of the beautiful and nature island which is closer to Johor state at the east side of Pennisular Malaysia. This is one of the island which I won’t get boring despite how many times I visit, beside the crystal clear water, the island also has many jungle trekking and hiking trails.

I was invited for the 3 days 2 nights trip to Tunamaya Beach and Spa Resort (N2.72072 E104.15162) on last month November 2014, it was a all-in exclusive package and total relax trip offered by the resort. We were the privileged few to experience the new package which officially launch on 20th December 2014. The package included the 45 minutes private chartered flight (Cessna 208B Grand Caravan) from Sultan Ismail International Airport Senai to Tekek Airport Tioman Island, that made us excited because it was a inaugural flight from Senai to Tioman. (90 minutes flight from Subang to Tioman island)

The trip was excellent, all of us enjoyed very much!
The resort was clean with lush of greenery surrounded, employees were really helpful and friendly, all the basic facilities available within the resort and a ‘bearable’ speed of wireless internet service accessible around the reception area. Mr Paul Cheah, the Resort Manager of Tunamaya said, please feel free to enjoy the facilities and relax in the fantasy island, don’t always check or look into the smart phone and Ipad…that’s the reason of the ‘bearable’ speed of internet access in the resort. Well, we AGREE!

We had a chat with the friendly resort owner – Mr Gan after the dinner. Understand that Tunamaya was built from scratch 2 years ago, the partners of resort chose the piece of land because of the mystical ‘Twin peaks’ as a backdrop of the resort.
As the ‘Tunamaya’ was named by the reason of one of the partner owned another ‘Tunabay’ resort in Perhentian island, and the followed by the word ‘Maya’ means mystical in the national language of Malaysia.

It is a hassle free, relax vacation compare with other rushing tour. Relax yourself and choose each activity within the island as you wish, rather than rushing from places to places with limited time from early morning and exhausted-ly back to hotel in the late evening, some of my friends wisely said…

I will definitely visit Tunamaya again!

*  All the detail itinerary will be update soon! Stay tune!

The first serve to us is this, Okonomiyaki. While serving to us, we can see the movements of Bonito flakes, the taste was far better than I expected.

Second was the Takoyaki, I believed most people’s are familiar with Takoyaki. While here is same with other’s Japanese restaurant, taste was ordinary.

Tobiko Sushi, here we can taste a little different.

Kani-Karaage, this also we known as soft shell crab, while this was my favourite, a little crunchy and little ‘hot’ serve when the time we eat, is an added value since hardly we can taste serve with hot Japanese food.

What we can seen from pictures below, maybe is just an ordinary Nasi Lemak serve with rice, sambal, water spinach (kangkung), few slice of cucumber and a fried egg. The sambal and the rice are the main character for Nasi Lemak over here, taste good and you can smell of the Nasi Lemak rice over ‘miles’, and the sambal is hot and spicy, taste good!
