Beach Hotels in Kampong Pasir Sanang Burong

We spent 11 nights here at the beginning of the monsoon season (mid-November) and were lucky as it only rained for the last two days, otherwise it was sunny and hot. The hotel is a very lovingly designed small complex that blends in perfectly with its surroundings and almost disappears into the rainforest. Great importance is obviously attached to sustainability, which can be seen from the building materials to the rubbish bins (no plastic bags). The water quality in the restaurant and on the island is excellent and the water is safe to drink, even for Europeans. The rooms are detached, large, comfortable and lovingly furnished huts that are connected to each other and to the centre of the resort (reception, Tamarind restaurant, spa...) by wooden walkways. There are different categories - from those that stand "in the back", i.e. in the middle of the rainforest to those that are enthroned above the cliffs and offer a magnificent sea view to particularly large chalets with their own small infinity pool situated almost directly on the beach. The staff is extremely friendly, helpful and courteous and cater to guests' every wish. There are three restaurants in the resort. Due to the season (monsoon, few guests), the small restaurant directly at the end of the jetty was closed. In the "Tamarind" restaurant you could enjoy Italian and Malay cuisine. There is a very long time slot for breakfast from early morning to mid-afternoon. As there were so few guests present, there was no buffet but breakfast was served instead. First there was toast with butter and jam and a platter of tropical fruit, plus coffee, tea and various fruit/yoghurt cocktails. Then you could choose from a large selection of sweet and savoury "main courses" for breakfast, from French toast to crepes, waffles, eggs in any style, sausages, bacon, ham and cheese to even a Malay soup pot.

Owner (Fass) of the resort accommodates all our needs. He was very friendly and calm. The hotel stay was decent and family orientated. The chalet we stayed facing the sea was fantastic. The bed, drapery toilet and room were very clean. Cafe and restaurant served good meals. Would definitely recommend to others and will book Dumba Bay if i make a trip to tioman again. I delayed in booking the snorkelling trip and couldn't get a slot, but Fass managed to get me a slot with another resort team. Thank you Fass and team.

clean and accessible to the beach and good food

So happy with the service provided by Mr. Tom Teo. He was very helpful and guided us well in the island. He gave us many options on the activities that we could do and and tried his best to meet our needs. The accommodation is nice and clean, if it's a 'kampung' life you're after, you got it. The other staff also are very helpful and try to meet your needs.

We arrived at the end of monsoon so the island was almost empty. Lucky for us, because we had the greatest time ever! This hotel was excellent in every aspect! The room was clean and well equipped. In the restaurant, both the food and the service were amazing. The 4WD transport was always on time! And the BEACH in front of the hotel is absolutely amazing! The staff was extremely kind and helpful! The lady at the front desk was able to instantly organize a hiking trip to the Dragon Horns, with boat transport and the most amazing local guides we could have. About the Dragon Horns: It's not the easiest hike but the reward is well worth it! The boat trip is a lot of fun too. I still recommend to ask about activities in advance. I just wanted to highlight the helpfulness and skills of the staff. We had a very good experience and I really recommend this hotel! So, if you are wondering if it's worth the extra ride to this side of the Island, the answer is YES!

Amazing place, sea and people! We stayed at Ella's for one week and it was like paradise. Great for solo travellers. Lots to explore, friendly people, cheap prices and beautiful nature. I highly recommend to stay there.

I like the environment, the people, the view, the room and all things about it, sure will be recommended to people who will travel to this seaview chalet

Accommodation was comfortable, clean and safe. We were extremely pleased with the location at that there was a restaurant attached to the accommodation, making it easy to plan our meals. Rooms was like photos and met our expectations.

+ brilliant location right on the beach - have to wake up early to see the sunrise! very serene beach with not too many people + great host who is extremely helpful and responds within minutes - helps organising trips (snorkelling, jungle trip) and drop off + the chalet feels sturdy - the toilet is great and there is hot water! + shampoo, shower gel, towels provided + there is a mini fridge + chairs provided to chill at the beach + mini markers and restaurants nearby + turtle nesting area, you can spot where turtles lay their eggs and go to nearby juara turtle project to learn about turtles the photos don’t do it justice! it’s great for the value and for a chalet.

Location, location, location!!!
