“Tuna Bay - thanks for a perfect holiday”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed in early February and the weather was great (what monsoon season?). Our beach side chalet was perfect for relaxing whilst looking out over Tuna Bay's white sand beach. The snorkeling directly off the beach was great and we are still dreaming about the delicious BBQ's at night... oh, and the cocktails from the Tuna Club. Most of all it was the staff who made the stay perfect. Such warm and friendly people, with a special thank you to Jimmy in the Tuna Bay office in Kuala Besut for helping us out when we were a bit stuck. The only problem with our stay was that nothing after Tuna Bay was good enough!

Room Tip: Spend the extra to get a beach side chalet, its worth it.

“Excellent but expensive location”

We enjoyed Tuna Bay, which has an ideal location right on the beach and is perfect for families. We had 2 interconnecting rooms in the garden, which were clean and comfortable. The beach is nice and it is fantastic with access to the corals and fish right from the beach. The restaurant had good food and the staff was friendly. We had some lovely snorkelling trips with sharks and turtles.

I like the Tuna Bay resort, though it was a bit expensive. We were used to very cheap backpackers hostels, so that explains...

The houses are nice, very comfortable bed, nice bathroom, safe inside, not much to complain about! The air-condition was very nice too. Our room didn't have any view, and we didn't spend any time on the porch because of this. It was pretty much right next to the main building/restaurant.

The beach by the resort is beautiful and offers good snorkeling! If you walk a little bit further (if you face the resort, you would have to walk to the right and keep on walking), there's a beautiful beach too, with overhanging palm trees... gorgeous!

Breakfast was delicious! It was included in our room price. We went to the restaurant once at night, then we discovered it was way too expensive, so after that we just went to the very tiny restaurant right next to the resort (on the right if you are facing the resort), which served good food and good portions, for cheap prices. This place also offers soon cheap snorkeling trips that are very nice!
