Great location, friendly staff, cozy, private. Although they have set menus and set times for meals, the staff bent over backwards to feed our children at odd times. Lovely beach, our children didn't want to go anywhere, you can snorkel right there. We are definitely going again!

A jewel of a resort, a wonderful location, peace and quiet. My wife & I and two children (13 & 16) stayed for 3 nights and 4 days in April 2013. We have visited very many islands off Thailand & Malaysia and we enjoyed this resort hugely. Would certainly suggest to fly instead of taking the ferry. From the greeting... More

I chose the resort for our short getaway in April 2013 because of the reviews from trip advisor. The resort has one of the best locations on Tioman. The water is very calm & crystal clear & the reef just off the beach is all you need. The hotel is small & can only take around 36 guests total, which... More

Small friendly place in the middle of nowhere. Untouched nature with wild animals and a wonderful diving surrounding. Just amazing! Charming staff - one for each guest. Bungalows are just typical cozy and simple but relly nice.

Ive stayed for 2 nights and TOTALLY regretted it! The rooms provided are very basic, muddy and murky seawater and the price for the rooms damn damn expensive. Theres not much activity can be done there except snorkelling and watching them feeding the sharks every night. The boat transfer fee is damn expensive as well. I will never return here... More

In response to your review lzdyhar82. You Said your stay at minang cove resort was in January 2012. This can not be so, as we are closed for the monsoon from end of October to beginning of March, every year. Either you have your dates mixed up or you stayed at another resort. If however you have got your dates... More

Minang Cove was recommended to us by friends and we couldn't have had a better location on the island. From management to family to staff, all were naturally friendly and helpful. We only left the resort for a short walk to acquaint ourselves with the environs as we enjoyed using the resort facilities. Snorkeling off the beach was excellent, plenty... More

Rolling out of our cool, en suite room to the sound of monkeys, strolling down to a lovely breakfast with the beach and the sea just a few strides away....swim followed by a read of one of the books from the library .....boat to a coral island for a snorkel.. back in time for tea and home-made...

Minang Cove is, by far, one of the most relaxing and idyllic places we've ever been. The location is fabulous- an isolated inlet on the southern trip of Tioman Island. No internet and a speedboat trip away from the larger villages means unadulterated relaxation. Food: fabulous- a hearty breakfast and dinner, plus an afternoon tea with cookies and fresh baked...

We didn't spend much time researching where to stay on Tioman but boy did we get lucky with Minang Cove, and we were even fortunate enough to have the whole place to ourselves for 2 days, which just made it even more special. The accomodation was perfectly sympathetic for the location - we stayed in a sea view deluxe cabin,... More
