Stayed at Hyatt Regency Kuantan - Pahang, Malaysia.
|
Hotel very conveniently located near the Kuantan city centre and nearby beaches such as Berselah and Batu Hitam. Was able to enjoy a mix of shopping, jungle trekking (in Pandan Waterfall), 4x4 driving (in our SUV) in Sg. Lembing, and of course strolling on the beaches. Food generally inexpensive. Restaurants to recommend include Pak Su Seafood (famous for its stuffed crab), ikan bakar (grilled seafood) at Tg. Lumpur, Satay Zul just 5 km from Hyatt and even the food court (very cheap) also abt 5 km from Hyatt just behind Satay Zul.

Tioman is the right place for jungle trekking as well as snorkeling. It offers some nice diving spots. Coming from KL, I recommend to fly to Tioman. The flight takes about 40 minutes and costs are only slightly higher as for transportation to Mersing plus ferry/speed boat (takes 6 hrs min.).

Tioman Island is an idyllic unspoiled place to visit. The Berjaya Resort has everything available for entertainment, golf, riding, tennis, scuba-diving, snorkelling trips (the corals of the area are uniquely beautiful), windsurfing, nature treks into the tropical jungle. There was free transport to get around the resort, and also bicycles for hire. The beaches were almost empty, (because of the monsoon) and the sea was warm, though a bit rough on occasion.
The wildlife is fascinating, huge monitor lizards roam free, monkeys run loose, but we were never bothered by insects. There was little need to venture out of the resort, as everything was on site. Even the building of a Casino didn't bother us or interfere much with our pleasure.
On venturing out we were sadened by the poverty apparent in the very small villages. The only regrettable thing was that alcohol was a little expensive in the resort, (although Happy Hour was good value!), wine particularly, and as it is a Muslim country no alcohol was available in shops outside. Cigarrettes were particularly cheap! The only tour taken was a snorkelling trip, which was great fun, and interesting.

Wonderful island with good swimming and delightful corals and fish life.
The snorkling trips were well run and good value for money.

Lovely island.........coral reefs are deteriorated, but still well worth snorkeling around. (the one right in front of the hotel is quite nice, even)

Tioman is a beautiful island, with absolutely crystal clear water. The snorkling was incredible - right up there with Hawaii in my eyes.

Tioman is a beautiful island and the resort is very good located.
Diving is nice but in August visibility is no more than 6 meters.
Very simple but typical and good food restaurants(thai, chinese, grill) and cheap outside the resort reachable by free bus.
Suggestion:offer the possibility to reserve tables at the restaurants not only at 7 pm.

As a pilot, flying Barjaya Air to the resort was an interesting experience in itself. Once at the resort, the snorkelling, scube diving, and bike rentals were a lot of fun. The resorts pool areas were great for laying out and had restaurants nearby to grab a snack or lunch. At night, there was good food and bars right on the beach to go to after dinner.
