Tioman Island is shaped like a drum stick with the fleshier part to the south. The most developed town on the island is Kampung Tekek. Nearby is the airport and the main jetty for ferries from the mainland. There is only a stretch of paved road that covers part of the west coast. It connects Kampung Tekek with Kampung Bunut, Kampung Paya and Kampung Genting. Kampungs are rural Malay villages characterized by wooden houses on stilts. The western part of Tioman Island is dominated by kampungs while the eastern part is mostly uninhabited, with Kampung Juara and Kampung Dungun as the only villages on that side. |
For Tioman Island, due to the number of resorts available, the only beach resort that we consider adequate is the Berjaya Tioman Beach, Golf & Spa resort. Although the resort is a 4 star, the rooms are definitely not considered 4 stars though they are adequate and clean.
