My family and I arrived to TunaBay for a 4 night getaway in October. Both islands were getting ready to board up for monsoon season and it was to our advantage. The place was operating at half capacity and we had no issues with the crowds or the weather. The rooms are not a Hilton but rather beach bungalows. For... more

My wife and I stayed 4 nights with my son's family, 2 boys 2 and 4 yers of age. The beach is beautiful, water is clean and the snorkeling was great. Rooms at the resort were clean, very close to the beach and comfortable. We ate all our meals at the resort where prices were reasonable and the food good.... more

We've just come back from our second stay in Tuna Bay Resort and we enjoyed it very much, so I can't understand the negative rating from September 09. We spend two weeks there in one of the cozy and quiet rooms with garden view (cheaper than those with seaview, but this adds only a fex steps more to the beach).... more

This is our third time back to Tuna Bay and we were quite disspointed as we used to really love the resort. The beach is still spectacular and the view is stunning. However, the resort is looking rather tired and we feel that it is time for an upgrade. We found the beds/pillows quite uncomfortable. The food was below average... more

Staff is any business' strongest asset and this is very true of Tuna Bay. They could not do enough for us. Food was good and varied and after trying other good places along the beach, we always came back. Fresh fish daily was a big factor in this. There are recliners on the tree shaded beach, beach towels are available,... more

This is not your typical asian resort full of luxury, but a small and cozy beach resort for people who want to enjoy the sea... we got a sea front bungalow which was 10 feet from the sea... staff is decent, food is good and pretty cheap (for western standards at least). unfortunately they have more room than sun beds,... more

We just got back from our holidays in Perhentian Islands. Although the beaches are beautiful I would not recommend people to go here. The local tourism industry is run by the local maffia. And tourist are seen as people to make money off. Not people you want to give great service and an unforgettable holiday. Few local people have learned... more

After reading all the reviews I was hoping that we had made the right choice picking Tuna Bay for our 5 night stay and did we ever! Although they put us in a room by the kitchen (which we asked to move and were moved the next day) we were overall very pleased. The staff were always smiling, the rooms... more

The restaurant manager - Jimmy told me off when we were the first persons to sit for lunch and ended up waiting one hour for our meal. He said "your package is a set meal...others ordered... more

Great beach but horrible service from the staff working there especially in the restaurant. We got there at 2.10. Booked a package which included full board meals. Because we were 10 mins late we were barked to sit at a table "assigned" to my husband and myself. If we asked what food we were going to be served they would... more
