It was a good thing that we arrived after dark and could not see the "resort", otherwise I probably would have asked my wife if we could leave on the same ferry we came in on. We booked Panuba Inn based on the photos at the Mersing Ferry Terminal after a last-minute decision to travel to Tioman. Boarded the last... More

Panuba resort is in a beautiful spot, and our room had an amazing view. However, it is difficult (if walking) - and expensive (if by water taxi) - to get to other parts of the island. This means you end up spending all your time and money at panuba. The food was ok, although the breakfast left a bit to... More

Why did I stated the above title? Was because this is the resort that had me pledged and swear off Malaysia's holidays for a very long time because of their continuity poor hospitality and service. I went there 2 years ago but I still want to give my reviews maybe due to the anger that I still have towards this... More

Its my first trip to Tioman island and we stayed in Panuba Inn Resort which is good in location, rooms and service. Good place for couples and family, for sure kids will play and enjoy. For bachelors its somewhat dull but you can enjoy the nature, snorkeling etc.. We took a package of 3 days and 2 nights which is... More

I stayed here with my family for four days. The beach were amazing, and we spent hours with beautiful fish few meters away from our room. We spent the same on four nights here, as on one night on a fancier resort, and the food were better here. The breakfast were a bit boring, though. I still think the television... More

I am planning for a second honeymoon with my wife in early February. We chose Panuba Inn as our stay at Pulau Tioman. We take a bus from Kuala Lumpur as early as 9 am. Arrive at Mersing Jetty in at 2.30 pm. We went to the office Panuba Inn for check-in. We provided a ferry ticket with 2 pieces... More

Went in June 2011. End up in Panuba to spend our 1st day and 1st night in Tioman due to unavailability of room in Tekek. We chose Panuba based on the review and also the spectacular view. The resort is huge overlooking the beautiful sea. I'm a bit sad when I found out from the previous reviewer that many of... More

1. A third of the resort was burnt down together with BALI HAI dive centre and this was not advices in advance when we made booking. This was unacceptable as business ethics. 2. Priority of meals goes to those who come with it. So for a la carte meals to be served we have to wait for the kitchen to... More

We stayed there for 5 days this october. We had originally booked a D room but decided to upgrade to a SD after discovering a very sad/depressing room on arrival! The location and view from the hotel is amazing. The snorkelling is ok (got lucky enought to spot a shark and a turtle). But the food is very average, the... More
