Tuna Bay Island Resort

The perfect escape holiday. The resort is right on a beautiful beach that has many snorkelling spots. The water is clear and gentle. The rooms are well kept and food is good too. Great for families and couples. Best to book bed and breakfast and pay for food separately. They have a pretty basic but good menu.

We had an unforgettable stay at this wonderful hotel! I want to express my sincere gratitude to the entire staff for their attention and care. The hotel's location is ideal for those who want to enjoy nature and the ocean, as well as for those who are drawn to the beauty of the underwater world. The COSMIK DIVERS dive center is located right next to the hotel, within walking distance. It's an excellent dive center, with a very interesting program of dive sites.||The transfer from the hotel was organized perfectly, which made the journey to the hotel much easier.||The cuisine was delightful with its variety and flavor. Every day there were new dishes, prepared with love. But most importantly, the staff. Everyone was incredibly welcoming, responsive, and ready to help in any situation.||I'd especially like to mention the hotel owner, Mr. K.K. Lee. I'd like to express my sincere gratitude and thanks to him! He personally participated in all matters and showed genuine concern for the guests. It was clear that they truly strive to create the most comfortable conditions for their stay.|| If you're looking for a place to relax your body and soul, enjoy the beauty of nature, and feel right at home, this hotel is the perfect choice. We'll definitely be back!

Don’t be fooled by the reviews.The location is beautiful yes, but it is generally very overpriced for what you get.The rooms are quite small and old,some towels have stains on them,and there aren’t much amenities provided inside the room.No tv,no chair,no hair dryer,no iron.For paying 400rm per night, I’d expect at least something provided. And then the food..overpriced again.The breakfast doesn’t have any varieties,and the food isn’t fresh.Their lunch and dinner menu is also quite oily and doesn’t sit well in your stomach. I personally wouldn’t stay here again, I’d recommended taking your money and spending it somewhere worth it.I’m only giving it two stars because the staff can be accommodating and kind.

I visited in May 2024 on a 4D3N full board package. The resort was mostly occupied by foreigners at that time. The room was in reasonable fair condition and the food was ok but lack of varieties. Dinners were particularly generous, featuring chinese cuisine with 3 dishes and a soup. The most amazing aspect of the resort was the abundance of marine life , corals are located just few meters from the shore. I enjoyed snorkeling and taking photos of the special sights I encountered.

Stayed at Tuna bay from 17-19th Oct. Had to choose a place near to Universal Divers and Tuna Bay seemed like the nicest place. It definitely exceeded my expectations. I chose the beachfront room and it was clean and comfortable. I had no idea that there was a snorkelling reef at Tuna Bay and it was a pleasant surprise. Snorkels are available to rent for 10MYR/day. There are many fish and coral to see. As it was the end of the season, all other food options were already closed, but Tuna Bay restaurant was great. The small breakfast spread was decent. I’d definitely recommend getting anything from the BBQ for dinner. Had the satay, grilled fish, prawns and was all good. I had multiple fresh coconuts everyday. The bar only opens in the evening but the margarita was great. The service was good. Some room for improvement for sure. The resort needs some basic maintenance like painting. There is a vent in the bathroom where bugs can enter the room. Only body wash and shampoo was provided, no conditioner. There were not enough beach umbrellas. Would be nice if we could get food and drink service at the beach. You need to book the water taxi a day in advance which doesn’t leave much room for spontaneity. The timing for boat transfer to the mainland was ok except for a gap between 12 and 4pm. Overall I was very happy and would definitely come back.

Tuna Bay is a hidden gem in a beautiful paradise. The fantastic beachfront cottages are amazing. You can walk straight from your cottage onto the beach, straight into the sea. There's also a beautiful house reef where you can snorkel wonderfully. You'll see lots of fish without having to venture|far out to sea.||The staff is also incredibly friendly, helpful, and kind. Special|compliments to Saffia, Nik Kob, Ali and Jimmy, who always made our visits to the restaurant extra enjoyable. The food in the restaurant is quite diverse and we had several delicious meals.||You can also easily book a water taxi from Tuna Bay to reach Perhentian|Kecil or the beach at Perhentian Island Resort in just 5 minutes. While|snorkeling at Perhentian Island Resort, we saw large turtles and white mini-sharks.||The boat transfer to and from Tuna Bay is also very well organized. At the|office in Kuala Besut, you'll receive a warm welcome and be escorted on a|short walk to the harbor. The boat was also great, and you can be on the beach at Tuna Bay in 45 minutes! I usually get seasick easily, but this time I was fortunate enough to experience virtually no discomfort on both the outward and return journeys. Our suitcases were also neatly unloaded, brought on board, and taken off again.||Tuna Bay, thank you for giving us an unforgettable week! Who knows, we might even come back. It would certainly be worth it.

Beautiful spot with a nice beach! Food options are great, best breakfast I had in all Malaysia (even though other hotels were 3 or 4 star) and quality is much better than expected. Rooms are outdated, beds are hard and bathrooms are small, but you'll only use your room to sleep in so who cares

Tuna Bay Resort holds a special place in our hearts. My husband was diagnosed with dengue fever just before leaving for the resort. He was quite ill. All the staff (from office, reception, restaurant and watertaxi) went above and beyond to help us and still let us enjoy the beauty of Perhentian Besar. |The resort's surroundings are beautiful! White sand with palm trees, clear water teeming with colorful fish (snorkeling right from the beach!) and jungle just behind the wooden chalets. We stayed in a family chalet on the beach, with a spectacular seaview. The chalets are clean and equipped with all the basic necessities: comfortable beds, good air conditioning (plus a separate fan), storage space, a refrigerator, a nice bathroom and plenty of space. You can request for daily cleaning and clean towels (including beach towels) were always available. Laundry service was also available.|We enjoyed a generous breakfast buffet every day (included in the room rate). The selection for á la carte lunch and dinner is also extensive and excellent. We're big fans of the sizzling beef, satay with naan and the various fruit lassis! And for Western food lovers: the pizzas, sandwiches and fries are also excellent. Oh, and there's a free-of-charge mineral water tap available 24/7.|Unfortunately, we weren't able to do everything we had planned, so we hope to return someday!
