This place, as the LP says, has one of the best parts of the Big Island's beach with soft white sand, clean water and pretty satisfying snorkelling off the shore. We took a package with food included for 3 days - the food got a bit samey, like all the Malaysian places who use this system, but in general we... more

Had a great time -staff very nice, sometimes rude but wondering how they can cope with so much to do... very relaxing and fantastic value for money ! Restaurant is very nice and cheap too. Can go for fantastic fish on barbecue at dinner time for a bit more. Highly recommended ! more

My boyfriend and I chose Tuna Bay Resort for our first trip to the Palaus of Malaysia not realizing how much the culture there revolved around diving rather than relaxing on the beach. The rooms were as described: simple. We had a garden chalet room, which is plenty close to the beach and restaurant. The disappointment is that like most... more

Whoah long review, sorry. Even after reading all the reviews on here, i didn’t really know what to expect, some say rooms are great, others terrible, service great, service terrible etc etc Perhentian is a lovely island, although make no mistake its remote. If you stay at tuna bay your kinda stuck at tuna bay. There are water taxis that... more

We stayed at Tuna Bay primarily to do our PADI Open Water course as the dive centre is right next door. The chalets are pretty basic but no worse than most in Malaysia. We had warm water and aircon and the rooms were cleaned daily if you wanted. The beach is amazing though, with crystal clear waters and a coral... more

We enjoyed our stay in Tuna Bay Island Resort and will definitely go back again. Rooms though simple, basic and tired-looking, all other things that really mattered e.g comfortable beds, clean sheets, warm showers, lights, aircon, toliet flushing system and ceiling fan works pretty well. Rooms facing the sea got to be booked way in advanced. However, it's just a... more

We travelled to Tuna Bay in March 2009 (two couples from New York) and absolutly loved every minute of it. It is excellent value for money. The rooms (and bathrooms) are very clean (so important!!). The walls are not indeed so thin as I had feared from reading other reviews. The rooms, while not elegant, have pleasant decor and lighting.... more

Local staff employed in the restaurant were excellant ESPECAILLY Jimmy. However three members of staff from KL had a real attitude problem towards guests and were constantly complaining to guests about the owners of the resort and how badly off financially they were. Service was irratic depending what kind of mood they were in - quite rude at times .... more

Very relaxed, (shoes off in the dinning room and bar,) small and extremely friendly place to stay. Beach front / rain forest backed location, so no roads, a swift ferry boat transfer to and from this beautiful wild and unspoilt Island. The sea was blissfully warm (30c) with a good house reef, for those of you, like me, who spend... more

my stay at tunabay was fantastic! I absolutely love the resort. Although there were complains by other people that the staffs are rude esp to local malaysians who stayed there. Well, all i can say as a local malaysian, throughout my stay there, the staffs were really nice and friendly. They greet me when they see me or will at... more
