Tenggol island is almost unknown to Malaysians, unless you are a diver. That's a good thing, because that makes Tenggol island preserved and unspoilt by hoards of tourists. And that is exactly what Tenggol Island Beach Resort is doing. It is catering for divers, and true lovers of nature. Accommodation here is quite basic. There are wooden chalets, each sleeping...

Accommodation is basic, air-conditioned with attached hot water bathroom. The rooms are not cleaned unless requested, same with change of towels to toilet paper. The walls are thin, if you have a noisy neighbour, you can forget about a good night's sleep.Meals are simple & akin to home cooking. The electricity is shut off during the day but you can... More

Strictly speaking, Tenggol Island is for diver's only. People looking for other type of activities are encouraged to choose other islands in Terengganu. Dive enthutiast, a trip to Tenggol is a must. It is definitely a better place to dive compared to Tioman, Perhentian and Redang. The dive sites in Tenggol has remained untouched. Tenggol Island is un-developed, and thus... More

This place is only for divers and certainly NOT for holiday makers. Even for divers, they only offer very basic accomodation. If you dont mind sharing rooms with strangers ( only quad rooms are available) and can sleep with bed bugs then proceed. Cleanliness : 4 out of 10. Electricity from 6pm to 10am only. Foods are just basic and... More

I went twice to Tenggol Island Beach Resort - once in June'10 and another in August'10 Main attraction is diving. Divers are quite basic, we need good dive center, divemaster, good food, and bare essentials for accomodation. Boatmen are good! Divemaster Robin is a funny man! Beware of sandflies - if you have sensitive skin like me, make sure you... More

Our family, two adults and a child, stayed here for three nights in July. I recommend a trip here if your primary interests are snorkelling, diving, or hanging out on a relatively small, but empty, beach. The rooms are very basic and small, but feature excellent AC and hot water. Electricity is on by about 6 p.m. and stays on... More
