Tuna Bay Island Resort

This place has such a good vibe. It is friendly, the staff are great, and what it offers is authentic. The food is excellent with a huge choice. Stand out dishes were the Tom Yam soup and the claypot prawns. Mango lassis also to die for! Special mention to Ali who looked after us so well in the restaurant, and also to reception staff who were so efficient at organising boat trips and ensuring the bar was restocked with our favourite wine when they ran out.|The rooms are spacious and basic, but with good air con and balconies. The water pressure is almost non-existant in the showers but who cares really when is as lovely to stay here as it is? The beach is lovely with white sand and turquoise waters, and the sea is like a warm bath. Plenty of fish nibbling your toes. Enough sun loungers for those who wanted them while we were there too. |We stayed for 3 nights in a beachfront room, and then we liked the resort so much we increased our stay for another 5 nights and upgraded to a deluxe beachfront room. Although the upgraded room was more spacious and had a bigger balcony, we actually preferred the cheaper one for the view and less mosquitoes but both were lovely! The garden rooms looked fine from what we could see, but there is nothing better than a seaview so if they have them available, go for it. The view is sublime.

Amazing resort, stayed with family for 3 nights, and had a brilliant time. Food was top notch, local and global dishes were done to perfection. The service was super helpful, especially the owners and the barman. The beach is lovely as well, with beautiful corals and wildlife, and the snorkelling, boat taxi, and scuba diving people in the area are very professional and provide excellent service! The rooms were great as well, with great views and the beach on your doorstep Would 100% recommend, and would love to go back soon

Great Hospitality & Amazing Snorkeling Spot! I didn’t stay at Tuna Bay (my friend did), and honestly, I regret not booking here! I visited to see my friend and wanted to rent a snorkeling mask — the staff kindly let me rent one even though I wasn’t a guest, just because I had a friend staying there. They even let me chill on their beach chairs, which was really thoughtful. Their beach is honestly one of the best spots for snorkeling — the water is super clear and clean. My friends and I had a great time swimming and relaxing there. According to my friend, the rooms are clean and comfortable, just basic but nice. The water taxi boatman from Tuna Bay was also very friendly and helpful. He brought us to Turtle Beach, then picked us up and took us to Long Beach for lunch, and later brought us back again. Everything was smooth and well-organized. The service here really stood out — so warm and welcoming. Definitely booking here next time!

Gorgeous beach, good snorkelling just outside the resort, lots of tropical fish and we even saw the clown fish (nemo) but even better on the snorkelling trips, We saw Napoleon fish reef sharks and turtles. Food in the resort restaurant is great, people so friendly and good service. Rooms are basic, but clean, shower curtains etc. Strongly recommend the beachfront chalet - it’s worth the extra cost and the 3/4 day snorkelling package .

We were a small group of 5 families, totaling 20 adults and 2 children. Here is how I would rate the resort's service team if they had housekeeping service, restaurant service, reception and water rentals. Housekeeping was great, they really listen to you and get the job done. We had two complaints, first the air conditioner wasn't working properly, second there were bugs on the bed. They immediately replaced it with a new air conditioner and checked the bed by taking a video which showed no bugs and said it could be a skin allergy. We accepted the explanation. The staff at this restaurant are not very friendly. They were also not nice to us during meals (sour faces). During the tea break, my friend asked for a glass of ice and she rudely refused, we wondered why? Can tea breaks only have hot drinks? As the resort has no common areas, the restaurant was the only place where we could gather together. However, it was too restriction. The receptionist was friendly and kept us informed and provided useful information during our stay. The water sports rental staff were also friendly and made the service very convenient for us.

A great location with beautiful beach suitable for families! Resort is popular among foreigners. Suitable for snorkelling! Great BBQ in restaurant. Breakfast is not that good though. Beachfront chalets are really nice , Wifi available , AC and fan available. Have been here for 5 times and will definitely come again !

A Relaxing Stay at Tunabay Resort – Beautiful Location with a Few Trade-offs We recently stayed at Tunabay Resort, Malaysia for 2 nights and 3 days, booking two beach-facing chalets directly from their website for our family of four. The experience overall was pleasant and memorable, with a few minor trade-offs. Staff & Hospitality : The staff and management were approachable and helpful right from the beginning. A special mention goes to the lady from the accounts team—she was incredibly warm, cheerful, and welcoming. Her guidance through the ferry boarding process and her willingness to assist made us feel at ease, especially as international tourists. Location & Accommodation: The resort is located in a stunning, secluded area, right in front of the sea. As we approached by ferry, we were greeted by crystal-clear blue waters and a beautiful beach view that instantly set a vacation mood. The beachfront chalets offer the best views and are definitely worth booking. The rooms were clean, well-maintained, and came with a welcome drink upon arrival. The staff also took care of our luggage and check-in process efficiently. Food Experience: We had opted for a meal package that included lunch, dinner, and breakfast. As vegetarians and being from India, we found the food a bit bland and lacking in basic spices—clearly tailored more toward European and Western palates. However, considering the remote location of the resort, we understand the limitations and didn’t let it affect our overall experience too much. The barbecue night was a highlight and quite enjoyable, while breakfast was just about average. Activities: Our main focus was to relax, enjoy the serene beach, and try snorkeling, which the resort offers at an additional charge. For beginners, I’d recommend taking a short trip to Long Beach Island, where snorkeling is easier and there are more options for food and accommodations. Final Thoughts: If you’re looking for a peaceful, scenic getaway with stunning ocean views and decent hospitality, Tunabay Resort is a great option. While food could be improved, especially for vegetarians, the breathtaking location and overall relaxing vibe more than make up for it.

Most amazing stay at Tuna Bay!!! We stayed for 3 nights and it was perfect. We got the boat over and was greeted to clear waters and white sand. They sat us down gave us a drink and helped us to check in. As it was our honeymoon we decided to upgrade our room. The receptionist showed us the other room before upgrading and it was definitely worth the extra 50ringgit a night! The beachfront rooms are quite small and do go on to the back of another room with a joining door. We opted for the sea view superior as it is a lot larger and doesn’t connect to another room. The rooms were clean, basic yes but it’s all you need. The food was to die for and was always fresh. The workers couldn’t do more for you and were so happy and polite. The coral in front of tunabay is amazing (best in the island for coral) We also hired a kayak from tuna bay which we deffo recommend. Thank you tuna bay 🥰
