My stay at Tioman Dive Resort was fantastic! The rooms were spacious and clean, far exceeding my expectations. The dive facility was superb, and the staff truly made my diving experience unforgettable. However, the restaurant scene around the resort was a bit inconsistent, as many places seemed to have erratic hours. A simple breakfast option would have been great, especially for those of us heading out early for dives.
