Ive visited pulua Tiga resort a couple of times and I will be going back. it is kind of pricy but i think its worth it. The major draw for me is the peace and tranqulity - there is only this one resort on this part of the island. the beach is long and sandy which means plenty of space.... More

We stayed in one of the chalets clearly in the off-peak season. At one point, we were the only guests on the island! It is incredible how much wildlife is around: we have seen huge lizards, iguanas, monkeys, snakes, praying mantis and a lot more. Doing some trekking is great to spend the day, and so is the sea. Unfortunately,... More

Accommodation is basic amd in a very poor state of repair. Food was dreadful, low quality, and cold. Beaches were untidy and a creek in the middle of the resort is smelly. The reef has a lot of fish life and is interesting for snorkelling. The mud volcanoes are a great experience. Adequate for a one or two day stay... More

There aren't many optionsaround KK if someone wishes to stay near a beach, Pulau Tiga is one of the few someone can go to. I was hoping to get a bit of island feeling close to KK but Pulau Tiga doesn't really provide it. The resort seems to be aging and the beach isn't very inviting at all. The food... More

Pulau Tiga is a unique entity on its own,when visit,do not expect to land yourself in a beautiful luxury island,come with a 'Survivor' mind,& i am sure you will enjoy your entire trip! The mud volcano experience is truly amazing! Watch the Survivor 1st Season,challenge 12-The Reward Challenge,you'll see what i mean! Be part of it & you'll get a... More

We came here with low expectations because of the reviews, but because of limited time we decided to come here anyway being that its not too far from KK. Our first impressions were that is was very dull and boring, the beach was grey and not too spacious, with a fair amount natural debris strewn across it. However after the... More

We stayed on Tiga for 2 nights. It is very basic, very much a budget place - not what we would call a resort at all. The beach is strewn with debris - most of it natural, washed from the very dirty stream which runs through the grounds of the place out into the sea just a few metres from... More

We stayed for 2 nights, we were the only guests whcih was a bit weird! Bungalow was lovely, with a large terrace area with chairs for sitting out. Oddly, our room had 2 bathrooms (I think it used to be 2 rooms). Lots of monkeys, monitor lizzards, bugs etc. I got some horrible bites from sand flies on the beach.... More

Pulau Tiga is worth your time to relax a day or two when you are looking for a budget style accommodation on an island (palm trees, beach, snorkeling, exotic animals and, here comes the funny thing: mud baths). The cottages are basic but are all close to the beach and the jungle. The food in the restaurant is fair, nothing... More
