We came here to dive, and this is a great place for that. It was not our first choice, we wanted to go to sipadan, but with recent dangers there, we decided it wasn't worth the risk. We heard from others while at Swiss Cottage that diving better in Indonesia, so we probably won't go back to Tioman. But if... More

4 of us stayed in a garden view room and a sea view room. The flush of the toilet didn't work well for the sea view room. There was air conditioning and a mosquito net for the garden room but it didn't stop the mosquitoes from getting to us. It's a cat-friendly resort. At any time you look, there's bound... More

Hi Chocolatelust, We are very happy to hear that you and your friends had a good time at Swiss Cottage. The cats all have their individual personalities and names, but as they are all sterilised the number should not climb above 16 :-) Glad you were happy with our service, we do try our best to keep our guests happy....

We stayed in a garden view bungalow 4 nights and 1 night in a seaview one. Actually we prefered the garden view because there was air conditioned so you can enjoy the waves sounds when sleeping while in the sea view we had there were only a fan quite noisy. Sleep under the mosquito net with the fan was not... More

I was lucky to meet Stella, the owner of Swiss Cottage and as soon as I saw her, I knew this was the perfect place to stay in for my trip to Tioman. She is a great host always ready with a big smile on her face! The cottages are wooden style and modern at the same time, this means,... More

Snorkelling and freediving with you has been a great adventure and I hope this is just the beginning. Swiss Cottage is without doubt a great place for those who just want to relax and jump in...

Tioman is a great destination if you are looking for a diving/snorkelling experience. Thrown in with it are some tropical rain forests all over the island and a trek across the island is an invigorating experience. We stayed 4 nights at the Swiss cottage. As with my previous reviews I'll put down the Pro's and Cons in me perspective. Pros:... More

We loved everything about Swiss Cottage and the island! The rooms are very nice, breakfasts were varied and delicious and people are very friendly in the hotel! There are a lot of sweet cats and monkeys around the area. Tekek (the nearest village) has a lot of restaurants and reall nice people too. I´d love to return some day ;)
