The resort is fantastic very private, good for family retreat with a clear sea but sand is not that fine as in redang island. Food are great, except the last day of breakfast they should keep the bread and drinks warm. Water Villa is nice except the pillow which I believe is time to change as it is developing yellowish...

Really enjoyed my stay at Gem Island. It was my idea of paradise. Gorgeous island, beautiful accomodation and good food.If you want to splash out this is the palce to go. The only criticisms I have of the place are the odd hours they power down- I think the morning would be more suitable and it is not made clear... More

My partner & I stayed on Pulau Gemia in early August this year (2012). This was our third trip to Malaysia & the east coast islands. Previously we had stayed on Tioman, Redang & Perhentian islands. All were lovely in their own way - so too is Pulau Gemia. Our priorities in booking these holidays is to find beautiful, peaceful,... More

A lot of good things to say about this place. The island itself is beautiful and only 15 mins from Marang Jetty. Gem and Kapas island feel a lot less touristy than when we stayed on Perhentian islands with the vast array of diving centres and accommodation. The sea view chalets are brilliant; they have air conditioning and fans with... More

Not much to do besides eat, drink, kayaking and snorkeling in the island. It is the only resort and with one restaurant its kind of what you do "relax". If you go for snorkeling, the coral garden is incredible (green, purple, blue, white corals), big vast area special on this days tha you can not find such variety in one... More

The only resort in the island, suitable for relaxing holiday and spend some private time with your love one.

Suggesting to go for full board package, but... More

We had high expectations for Gem, expected to see turtles in the sea and were a bit disappointed when we could not see any in the sea,... The sea color is not as nice as on Redang or Perhentians and there is much less corals,... The houses are not renovated and mosquitos have no problems getting in and having a... More

My friend recommended this place to me although he himself has never been here before and I am glad that I listened to him :) We booked two rooms of 3 days 2 night full board package . The rooms in sea frontage water villas are spacious with AC, big fan on the ceiling, simple yet nice bathroom, TV with... More
