The fact that reception had only one key per room: they had troubles with checking me in in a room I had to change to. They couldn’t find the lock for that key. It happened something similar to another guest as well. Also, the fact that to refill your water you had to pay, it was just a few ringgits (2 MYR for 1.5 lt / 1 MYR for 0.5 lt), but still, water is a basic need for everyone and specially in a so hot and wet environment. Therefore, I think is not right to charge the guests for this, it’s like you charged for using the toilet facilities. These are the only reason why I don’t give a 10 as score.

Just being in front of the beach, you walk down a few steps and you’re already there, it’s magical. The staff is lovely. Chill and wonderful place where I could recharge for the next travel days.

Don’t expect a good Wifi connection at the houses, at the Restaurant its fine though. Also, consider that it’s a beach Chalet. There will be some Gekos, Mosquitos coming into the room. If you don’t care about these things, you will be perfectly happy.

We absolutely loved our vacation at Beach Shack! We stayed there for 9 nights and we would have stayed a lot longer! We initally booked the A-Frame, but then changed to the chalet directly on the beach because it was bigger and the view was insaaaane an definitely worth the extra money. Best about Beach Shack is their staff – they were always so nice and friendly and helped us with taxi service, hiking tour etc. Also, make sure to go diving at Scuba Dive Academy which is located within the Beach Shack Area. My friend and I did the Open Water Diver Course and we can recommend it 100%! So, if your looking for a place to stay in Tioman - don’t google any further and book your beach chalet at Beach Shack!

Beach shack was great in all ways! The staff is very nice, the location is perfect and on a beautiful beach. We loved our room which was more then enough space for two to sleep and we really enjoyed having a little front porch. Breakfast is a lovely bonus and a sizable coffee or tea included. Best place to stay in Juara, and you can even enjoy a lovely taxi ride through the jungle and ride in the bed of the truck to see all the views! The common space/deck is pretty big and a great spot for book reading on a hammock

We loved the beach shack, we stayed here for 5 days and would happily have stayed for another couple of weeks. We used their taxi man at a cost of 60 myr for 2 people from the ferry port - he was great, we stood up in the back of his truck all the way and had the best ride, it was so worth it. Our accomodation was small (the smallest A frames) - just big enough for the bed, and hot during the day but the bed was comfy with a mosquito net, so we slept well. Bathroom is simple but it all worked well. During the day there is plenty of space in the chill out dining area with settees, chairs, tables and hammocks. Staff were fabulous, so friendly and welcoming, we felt very much at home. The location is fantastic, our small hut was just behind the bigger beach huts but the view from our bed was still of the sea and stunning sunrise - simply beautiful. Right on the beach, crystal clear blue sea, fabulous for swimming and snorkelling with a reef right in front of the property. Breakfast was quite small but most delicious. Food was simple and good and priced at 11myr for a fried rice (Oct '23), 6myr for a burger - slightly more if you wanted fries. We walked to both waterfalls nearby - a good sweaty work out walk and deliciously cool water to swim in when you get there. All sorts of fabulous wildlife to be seen here. Very little rubbish on the whole island - the beaches are pristine, this is probably one of our favourite islands in the world.

There was nothing we didn't like.

What can I say, the beach shack is a truly wonderful place. It's well ran, the staff are very friendly and they are extremely attentive. It has a great vibe, very chill and so peaceful although we were told it does get much busier in the high season. We stayed in a Garden View A-frame and it was exactly as described. If you like camping you'll love it, if you don't, then you probably won't. The beach front chalets offer more comfort if you'd prefer that, both are very good value for money. The inclusive breakfast was great and offered plenty of choice including eggs, porridge, pancakes, toast and roti. It also included a tea or coffee (the coffee was so good). There was also plenty of additional choice which was chargeable and the evening menu also had lots on offer. The food we had was really tasty and reasonably priced but the shack is located right in the middle of Juara village with some fantastic restaurants either side if you fancy a change. We didn't do any of the excursions on offer but they were popular and highly recommended by other guests. If your thinking of visiting Tioman we would highly recommend the Beach Shack, we wouldn't hesitate visiting again. Thank you for such a wonderful stay, keep up the good work.

Heaven on Earth! What a great location - best beach ever, we had been swimming day and night. The breakfast that is included was good and the restaurant serves excellent food lunch and dinner. And the icing on the cake is the super friendly and professional stuff - they made our stay very memorable. We stayed two weeks - and will come back for three weeks next year.

The taste of the food. It's not very tasty, but they do their best to try.

That they were very open to my diet requirements, what is very important for me. Also the beautiful beach and the chalets, they're so cute and more spacious than what I was expecting.

The location and the vibe

Stayed in June 2023

the staff weren’t the best, maybe a little bit rude and weren’t as attentive as other places we have stayed at with the same situation but I don’t know if that was due to the island itself as it is very chilled. just felt a little ignored when trying to order or talk to them. might be a little harsh but that’s how we felt at the time.

really sweet and simple. exactly what is expected for the photos and description. really great location for chilled beach vibes and so easy to just relax.

Small unit has only fan, therefore too hot inside

Amazing place, nature around. Big unit has air conditioner and hot water, amazing view from balcony

Very nice bungalow just near the beach !

The budget rooms didn't have hot shower, so if you're planning to dive it might be a good idea to top up more for that comfort.

Staff were very friendly and attentive, and gave lots of good recommendations on things to see and eat in the area.

Best place on the Island!!! Mantap!!! The staff is very kind and wonderful! Highly recommended!!!

The fans in the room were a little dusty. Nothing a quick dust wouldn’t fix. You are on a tropical island so bring deet.

Everything! The location is amazing and the A frames are so cute. We had a great time! The food is lovely and reasonably priced and the place has a great atmosphere. We are planning on coming back again. We loved it!

We stayed 2 nights in a garden view unit which was perfect. Right between jungle and beach, not crowdy at all, restaurant right next to the units. Breakfast included. The staff was just lovely, we were able to check-in at 9am already because we took an early ferry. They arranged a taxi service from Tekek to Juara in advance. Definitely would recommend for others!
