We booked directly through the hotel website for a 4-night stay in March in a Deluxe cabin facing the jungle and also booked water transfers at the same time from Kuala Besut. The check-in was very efficient at the office in Kuala Besut - we just took our luggage to jetty and checked in for the resort, although the hour... More

This was the 5th consecutive year that we visited Tuna Bay Resort. What we like is that the Perhentian Islands do not change much from year to year unlike other places in Asia where changes go so rapidly that you are disappointed when returning. Also Tuna Bay does not change much although small refurbishments take place every year, keeping the... More

We booked this trip based on previous trip advisor reviews and found this resort to be exactly as described. Besar is a very quiet island but Tuna Bay and the beach it is located on is definitely the pick of resorts. The rooms were spacious, clean and basic as you would expect for a island that is run on generator... More

We just returned from Malaysia where we spent over a week on the island of Perhentian Besar in Tuna Bay Island Resort. We consider our stay to be fully successful. It was a good decision to spend this time in Tuna Bay. We also visited all the other beaches on the island as well as Long Beach on Perhentian Kecil... More

Went there 4 years ago and decided to go back again this year. Booked two rooms in garden (family room), food is great (barbecue fish is fantastic), breakfast (included in the price) not so varied... Staff is fantastic ! Got land transfer to avoid mad taxi drivers there - way in was fine but way back was like racing...only disappointment.... More

This is not a 5 star resort and it does not pretend to be. Rooms are 3 star in size, layout and decor, but everything works ! And that includes enough lighting to read at night, while many so called 5 star hotels don't do this properly. Black out curtains also work well and you can sleep during the day.... More

Lovely place where we spent 4 nights with friends - so peaceful, friendly and clean. Prices are reasonable and the islands are just stunning. Snorkeling and see turtles are a must. The food is awesome and not too pricey - at the resort restaurant or at the "Coconut" place.

The resort taxi was waiting for us at the airport and the driver gave an interesting and informative journey to the ferry office. The transfer from the office to the jetty was very quick, a few minutes walk and we had waited less than 10 minutes. It all went without hitch. A fast boat ride to the island but we... More

Nestled in the Perenthians islands which are probably one of the most beautiful places around thanks to gorgeous beaches and easy access to Coral and sea life, the TIR hotel is a great choice for people seeking convenient access to what the islands have to offer. It is also great for familly with children because you can organize your activities... More
