Even the flight from Singapore is a wind down.... Friendly folk meet you at the airport, a quick boat ride and straight to the sea view sarang....5 minutes later and cooling down kn your own pool, complete with waterfall. Good food, a very easily accessible reef (Nemo not here though), and nothing too hard for the staff. Wonderful!!!

OK not totally perfect but still an incredible location, well commented on by other reviewers. So nice not to be having to sign every time you have a drink, service impeccable in every way. Daily visits from monkey troupe fascinating, food excellent and ambience in the two restaurants wonderful. Natural attractions included a sea turtle that passed under the pier.... More

We staryed here last month in April for 5 nights for the last leg of our honeymoon. The location is beautiful, but the hotel is old, run down and in need of alot of maintenance. In our opinion there simply isnt enough staff to maintain the standard they are charging you for. The people who work there are lovely and... More

We have just got back from our magnificient holiday at Japamala and stayed at Tree Top No 12 from 29 April to 2nd May. Speaking from the bottom of our heart, it worth every penny spend at this beautiful & perfect gate-away resort. Words cannot explained our feelings having stayed at Japamala; a truly bliss 2nd honeymoon for both of... More

This is now our second visit to this truly wonderful Island. All the staff gave us a very welcome and remembered us fondly. The treatments, food, service and all staff were on top form and everything was done smoothly and calmly. There was a malfunction with the air con system a couple of times but it was rectified almost immediately... More

My husband and I had such a great time at Japamala. It wasn't action packed and full of exciting adventure jungle treks, scuba diving and day-long snorkelling expeditions but instead it was peaceful, relaxed and slow paced. Just what we were after. But, if you wanted more adventure, you could do that too (for a price!). The staff are wonderful,... More

Japamala is peace. There is literally nothing to do but relax and eat - and luckily the food at both restaurants is amazing! We particularly loved the Italian out on the very romantic pier. You need to understand that there are no attractions and not even any walks nearby! Our tip is to definitely book a room with your own... More

We just came back from Japamala today and felt I should write something for this service orientated place. The trip started when I was looking for a place for my wife and I before having a baby. Originally I was looking at Berjaya Resort but after my friend told me about Japamala, I went and did my research. The reviews... More

Not fancy or classy - just cool - the right place you are looking for when you want to wind down, relax and mind your own business for a few days. Two excellent restaurants - Italian food and Thai food - what more can you ask for? Staff had just the right attitude to it all - relaxed but alert!... More
