I always like to put it in point form; PRO 1) Really really nice view & it's really a place for people to laze around do nothing and just listen to wave or for me crab watching, so peaceful. 2) Good for snorkelling if you are lucky you might find sea turtle which my husband did - as I don't...

The setting of the resort is beautiful, on the rocky slope rising from the sea, and with a beautiful secluded little beach next to it. But that is just about all the positive things I can write about Panuba Inn. Oh, and that the reservation office was courteous enough to reply to my emails - most of the other resorts... More

the sea view room is awesome!! If one is looking for a place to hideaway from the busy life style, this is a great place! listening to the song of the sea to fall asleep, just chilling at the balcony with duty-free alcohol and swimming with the colorful coral fish during the day are just some of the thing you...

The place was quiet and secluded if you want the whole place to yourself but take note that the beach front is short though there is a nice jetty to jump out into sea if you wish. Plus point is the water is still clean. But it is situated far from everywhere else and would need a boat to get... More

I always try to make friends with the staff as they'll tell me what's good etc, the staff at Panuba were really hard to engage with and did not in any way try to make our stay enjoyable. This is a resort if you a on a budget, everywhere else is fully booked, you've brought your own food and bbq... More

I just went for a 4D/3N stay at this resort in September. Generally i have a good impression on this resort. You can have a nice sea view from the room as there is nothing that block the view. It also suits snorkelling lover like me , as the beach in front of the resort has got lots of corals... More

My husband and I had just returned from a 5D/4N stay at the Panuba and we had a grand time! Reading the past negative reviews confused us, for our stay was nothing less than pleasant right from the very start. The elderly boatman was friendly enough, despite his halting English, and patient with us as we had multiple bags to... More

Many people might not book this inn as they might wonder, there's only one resort on this beach, worrying that they might get bore here, But to me and my fellow friends, this Inn is just perfect where the beach is not too crowded and perfect for a swim or sunbathing like your private beach. Nice atmosphere of the restaurant... More

Just went there for the Merdeka weekend (Aug 31) and got into Panuba Inn as a last resort as everything was booked. Initial thoughts were, it's heavily developed but that nothing matched. Quite concrete and the beach was pretty small, esp compared to ABC next door. As there was 3 of us we went for the Super Durian rooms which... More

There are only 1-2 resorts of standard quality and are relatively expensive. The rests are mostly operated by local islander; so do not expect like ones in the mainland here. I spent quite some time searching for the best possible accommodation in Tioman island. My aim was to get a resort where I can do snorkeling with the kids right... More
