Pulau Babi Besar hotels

Pros: Mandy and Eric were friendly and very helpful. The place was spacious with fans and air con. The place had a kitchen, living room, 4 bedrooms and two bathrooms with all necessities. Mandy was lovely and took us to the mersing jetty point the next day and helped us with our tickets. We didn't use the kitchen and recommend the satays behind the building.

Cons: We loved this place and thought the beds were fine, however the pillows weren't comfortable being foam pillows.

Pros: Perfect location. The owners are very helpful and involved. The apartment is new and very clean. Wifi works great. Beds and rooms are spacious and comfy. From the door it is a 1 mnt walk to shops and 3 mnts to the jetty. Would book again.

Cons: Everything was perfect

Pros: First and foremost the absolutely excellent care and professionalism of the owners - thank you Mandy and Eric. They communicated with us before our journey from Singapore and was there to meet us on arrival. The following morning they picked us up and took us and our luggage to the ferry terminal and helped us to navigate the complicated process of booking in and getting our tickets. They also then guided us to another part of the booking office to pay the tourist marine conservation tax for the Tioman area. After a fantastic 16 nights on the beautiful Tioman Island, they were waiting to collect us from the ferry as we staying another night in Mersing before returning to Singapore. It is possible to travel straight from Singapore and take the ferry to Tioman on the same day, however this can be risky as there are often delays on The Causeway and with the ferry. We heard of several families missing their ferry or transportation to Singapore. I suggest taking the unnecessary stress out of the journey by staying at The VIP Hardrock Apartments. Mandy and Eric certainly treated us as if we were VIPs! The apartments are huge; much bigger than they appear in the photos and immaculately clean. On our return visit we were upgraded to the penthouse suite which would comfortably accommodate a family of 8. There was even table football to keep the teenagers happy along with relatively fast internet.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Both Mandy & Eric have been very helpful at anytime, we arrived very late and departed early morning, they look always available.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Comfortable place to spend the night before catching the ferry to Taoman Island. The owner was very gracious and gave us a ride to the ferry as well as answering any questions we had. Close to the centre for sone dinner the night before. If you are going to Taiman or traveling through Mersing I would recommend staying here

Pros: This is not somewhere to stay for any length of time. It's a jumping of point for the islands. It:s a 5 bed bungalow very clean & functional. It has good WiFi, air-conditioning, fridge & eating area. The owner is extremely friendly & helpful.

Cons: It's excellent for what it is.

Cons: Only one bathroom with water heater... Another small bathroom's water heater is not working. And the small bathroom is too small to take bath there. No wifi 5 bedrooms with aircon, but only 2 bedrooms have ceiling fans

Pros: The house was great, as was our host who helped us all along our stay ! Would definitively come back =)

Pros: SingSport staffs are damn friendly. And they provided transport free facilities too. Immediate response to messages.

Pros: It’s a great place to stay, the room is spacious and the whole accommodation is really clean. It’s not in the center, but there is a bike you can use, a nice way to go around. And the service of Tolo is the best, he gives just that extra, with service and being so friendly, to make your stay more complete.

Pros: The owner was very sweet and super helpful. Also the other people that were there made me feel welcomed and were attentive.

Cons: Very bad toilets.

Pros: The reception lady is friendly

Cons: The location is scary.Strongly not suggestable for solo lady traveller. No basic amenities was provided. VERY VERY dim place. its almost like an haunted place.

Pros: It is a very clean and spacious guesthouse. Nice big dorms, nice kitchen and social area with big windows. The bed was comfortable, we had such a good night of sleep. Although at first it seemed a little empty we really liked the atmosphere there and enjoyed our stay!!! A good place to get some work done or to read. Also the Wi-Fi works great!

Cons: The toilet facilities could use a little upgrade. And guys: Take some new pictures of the hostel for booking. The ones you have at the moment don't bring across the nice atmosphere you have at the guesthouse!

Pros: The beds were quite clean and tidy. Also the common area was quite clean. The price was ok for the location and cleanliness of the place..

Cons: it was on the 3rd floor of a half constructed building. the stairs to the 3rd floor pass through a half built building. The toilets are quite smelly and inconvenient as well. The staff could be a little more friendly. It is a friendly environment but the staff are not helpful

Pros: Host was extremely helpful, we arrived very late but this was no problem, he organised transport to the ferry terminal for us the following day which was very kind. House was spotlessly clean, beds were very comfortable and ac worked well. Would definitely recommend.

Cons: The host is amazingly friendly, helped us with everything we need, including our 2am arriving hour. Thank you Tolo!

Pros: Cleaness

Cons: If can cooking more better(may be can put gas stove,cooking items,rice cooker,pot ect

Pros: Interior superb

Cons: Again..surrounding quiet gloomy

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very easy check in and check out procedure. Perfect accomodation for our short stay in Mersing.

Pros: Having read some of the reviews, I went with an open mind and to be honest this resort exceeded my expectations. We stayed in one of the beach chalets and there was no stained carpet on the floor like some earlier comments! The beds were comfortable, room was large, decent balcony to chill and talk and I liked all the small touches like a clothes line and refrigerator in the room. You can hear the sea from your room. Quiet location. Yes, the resort is rustic but it is an island after all and I feel the owners make a real effort to make it as luxurious as possible without going over the top! The staff are exceptionally helpful from the guy taking our bags off the ferry, check-in staff and bar tender. I could have stayed a week to relax. I went for the all inclusive package and the food was tasty and ample. Again, sometimes you have to make allowances for island life that everything has to come from the mainland so I was grateful for everything that was presented at the buffet. Definitely go snorkeling. This was one of the highlights for me. I actually booked it next door for 80RYN as I'd missed the hotel one when I had arrived. I saw plenty of sea urchins and clownfish! The banana bread after dinner was yummy! Thanks!

Cons: Maybe more fruit at the breakfast buffet but again I have to remind myself I'm on an island so having 1 fruit is good enough!

Pros: Beautiful resort and friendly staff. Free bicycles offered by the resort, really helpful to see a little more of the island at own pace. The buffet meals were very good, varied options and tasty food. The chalet had a mini fridge and we were able to bring own snacks and drinks.

Cons: Their private beach was apparently affected by huge waves, so we were told to walk a distance to find where they have "set up" beds in a hidden beach area. Beach facilities/ set up could be better.

Pros: The location was fabulous with easy walking to lovely clean beaches . Open air dining and bar areas with great views

Cons: The bungalow accommodation Looked a bit tired especially the en suite bathroom .

Pros: Food was great. Not that far from land.

Cons: The beach wasn't great. I think something happened there. some kind of typhoon maybe.

Pros: Food is generally good. Cater for vegetarian. Value for money. The bed is relatively comfortable. Our toilet is relatively big although the whole place gets wet after shower but good space. Very friendly and helpful staff. Provide 2 large bottles of water for 2 night stay. Generally no mosquitoes or cockroaches during the night in our chalet (we ensured no food are kept outside that are accessible and no food trash in our bin and we sprayed some repellent on before sleeping)

Cons: The toilet smells after a while as there is little ventilation. The main office female toilet 3rd toilet seat is spoilt. But it was still kept on top which will cause people to slip and fall. The pool needs to be cleaned. Water looks a little cloudy. The adult pool is too deep, can't stand on so would tire after while. The deck around the pool is alittle worn out, best walk with shoes

Pros: Comfy bed, all facilities inside the room, room size, awesome buffet, taste and quality of food, menu, location, very friendly staff, diversity of travellers.

Cons: Doors should have the latest security locks

Pros: Location was near and within walking distance from jetty. Food was all inclusive with the price of resort, no need to think about where else to find food. Swimming pool and beach chairs facing the beach/sea was a relaxing area to chill.

Cons: Bugs, especially sand flies at the beach and areas nearby the resort. I had to get medication after my trip for remedy. Sounds from bats around the area also cause disturbance if you are a light sleeper. Timing for dinner also started little late (7:30pm). Resort is old and the toilet flush in my room had a little issue. The resort can certainly do with some upgrading works to maintain / upkeep the quality it used to deliver before.

Pros: Hotel and facilities were good.. This place is very good for those who prefer to stay in private resort with private beach access.. its quiet far from jetty and other shopping stalls, however they have free shuttle service.. food is good, but dont have few sea foods especially lobster.. Overall calm and peaceful place and value for money

Cons: They need to maintain beach cleaning garbage at shore.. its not very clean.. I dont find any other cons..

Pros: Nice and clean.

Cons: Room given no wifi.

Pros: The Resort Manager Charles was extremely helpful. We came in our own boat. He and his staff Philip ensured we had a safe and convenient mooring for our boat near the resort's jetty. Charles even upgraded our rooms without us requesting for it. Though I wasn't fortunate enough to meet him in person, he sees that all our request were met. So, thank you Charles and your staff for making our stay at Berjaya Tioman comfortable and memorable.

Cons: None.

Pros: Very quiet and calm

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Clean rooms, no bugs, ac worked great, staff was friendly and helpful, snorkeling off my porch basically, great beach, good local food IMO, take the jungle trek and waterfall massage with Musa the local guide - he's great! Lots about medicinal uses of plants, knows and can find the animals, and is a great natural historian. Lots of families and it seems a great place for kids.

Cons: Kinda long day to get there and back - even from Singapore.

Pros: The room is smaller than what we expected but it's still perfect for 2. Our chalet is close enough to the lobby and and beach bar but far enough to have a quiet and peaceful sleep. The bed is really comfortable and we loved it. Buffet breakfast is good. We also booked their snorkeling tour to Renggis island which is just 5mins boat ride from the resort. The beach is nice though a bit rocky. Staff are very friendly as well. They allowed us to check out late. Overall, we had an enjoyable stay.

Cons: Nothing to complain. But perhaps the buffet breakfast can still be improved.

Pros: The resort facilities are good

Cons: The food is average

Pros: breakfast for chip the fruit no fresh no a standard 4 star only few menu on the buffet plat very old and dirty ..

Cons: I was expiated 4 star standard but exactly is not everting old furniture old bad old inside the room very old and has a smell too

Pros: breakfast was okay (too many flies in the restaurant area though..). Restaurant meals were pretty decent (pricey, but expected) Beds and showers were comfy! Shower had good water pressure, always a plus! Nice pool and friendly, accommodating staff!

Cons: Too many insects, flies and mosquitos! Kinda ruined the beach experience. Beach chairs could have been better... them touching the floor where there are a lot of red ants didn't help..

Pros: Clean, close to Mersing Jetty, comfortable.

Cons: Poor breakfast

Pros: Located between the bus and ferry station. Many shops and restaurants around. Beds are very comfy and the WiFi work well.

Pros: Very central location Restaurants near ( we recommend cake mania for breakfast) Riverview Aircon was working Tv Room We got an upgrade from dorm to doppelroom.

Cons: Staff wasn't around most of the time and sleeping. No toilet paper, no emptying the bin in the bathroom. Bad Breakfast toaster didn't work properly and the jams and peanut butter were in a container witch looked like it would never be cleaned.

Pros: Close to the bus station and ferrys yo Tioman.

Cons: The hotel is not like it looks in the pictures. There are holes in the roof so its raining in.. Thet probably dont know what cleaning is. The stuff is very rude there. We told them that it was raining in from the roof but they did not help us at all and were very unhelpful with everything. When we were going to check out we had to wait beacause the worker was sleeping. I suggest you to choose another hotel or hostel in Mersing!

Cons: Breakfast was so simple. Just toast, strawberry jam or peanut butter and poor coffe. The breakfast area wasn't very clean...

Pros: Near the bus station and the jetty. Clean room, shared bathroom. The great thing about this place is the furniture is made with recycled palettes so it gives a nice touch

Pros: Close to jetty

Cons: Pretty basic breakfast

Cons: Could be cleaner

Pros: Location and view from room

Cons: Dirty Towel Breakfast not good Should be cheaper

Pros: The breakfast very delicious

Cons: In future, please provide chair at balcony that guest can enjoy the view while enjoying drinking

Pros: I stayed here for one night as a stopover on my way to Tioman. The staff was helpful, helped to drop to Tanjung Gemok in the morning and didn't overcharge. The place has a old school feeling, lot's of greeneries around.

Cons: The room had a weird smell. The restaurant was closed at 9PM when I reached but there is a local restaurant if you walk around 200 meters in dark. Probably it was a nice place in the past but now not properly maintained anymore. A bit far from the bus station.

Pros: Spacious room.

Cons: No lifts. Very old school. Outdated furniture. Rundown.

Pros: Near mainroad, restaurant & nearby amenities

Cons: Hotel & furniture very old design & rundown. No lifts.

Pros: Very nice people, breakfast is ok and room also.

Cons: The hotel is a bit far of the city centre

Pros: Location very convenient

Cons: There was nothing we didn’t like.

Pros: Location is near to the Jetty, staff is friendly and helpful

Cons: We couldn’t adjust the temperature of the air cond, we passed through a very cold night. Starting around 5am, our room can heard very clearly the prayer from the mosque. For 1 hour long. Couldn’t sleep the whole night.

Pros: The location very centre at the city and there are lots of restaurants near by the hotel.

Cons: Very noisy where you can hear all the sound from outside even when people open and close their car door.

Pros: It was close for the ferry the staff friendly and the room clean. All you could ask for at the price and it had good air conditioning

Pros: Convenient for getting to the jetty for Tioman ferry. Hotel organised transport to Jetty at 4:30am which was very helpful.

Cons: Room smelled of smoke.

Pros: Location near to the Jetty about 3 minutes drive

Pros: This property was walking distance to ferry terminal and bus terminal. They did offer free transfer to ferry terminal but we opted to walk instead. We could not fault the cleanliness and the basic facilities make the rooms comfortable and the staff were helpful. Also very close to restaurants and shops. Definitely recommend this hotel if you need to stay in Mersing.

Cons: Some may not like the stairs up to the rooms but did not bother us.

Pros: Location is at centre of Mersing city. If you intend to go Mersing Jetty, I recommend this place for staying overnight. Just around 500m.

Pros: It is very secluded and quiet. It is good to stay here to relax and enjoy view.

Cons: There's alot of animal's dunk around the resort. The beach is quite far from the chalet.

Pros: The scenery

Cons: The goose..haha

Cons: The room was full with spider web, water is dirty, the chalet was like long house where all the room so closed to each other and so loud as the material used was so poor even walking is such a hassle

Cons: Toilet not clean, water not clean and water not working on last day I stay.

Pros: I love that there is a private beach on the property but the beach water is quite sandy when it’s evening during 5-7 pm, thus the water colour is quite muddy and not dark in colour. The beach and property itself is also quite private as I came to stay on the weekday so there’s no other visitors other than me and my friends. I also love that there are stray cats and three goose roaming around freely on the property. Personally, I liked cats so I do enjoy seeing cats there and they seemed to be well taken care of. The worker’s treatment to us is quite okay and helpful. Overall if you are looking forward to an escape from technology e.g. television this resort should be picked as your holiday getaway. It’s cheap and decent.

Cons: The room cleanliness is not that satisfactory as I can see pack of ants crawling on the wall and the bathroom was also not that clean. The water doesn’t seem to be flowing on the floor as it becomes stagnant. The beach, during the evening there’s a few people I assumed locals who came down to the beach to find sea creatures on the beach (the creature lives in the sand) so, it kind of bothered our privacy. The cat and goose faeces + feather were seen to be on the ground/grasses so you have to be careful to not step on the faeces.

Pros: Near by an ocean..

Cons: No television provided.. others are fair..

Pros: Timotel location

Cons: In need of an massive upgrading

Pros: Big room, great service, great breakfast!

Pros: Not really

Pros: What did I like? I love that the customer services was super friendly and they are easy to arrange with. I was there for a tournament. And we needed to wait for another 3 hours so I asked for an additional 3 hours eventhough we were supposed to check out at 12. They were flexible to let us pay and stay for those additional 3 hours which were convenient for us.

Pros: Location was quite central in Mersing town

Cons: The electric plug for the TV is not working, the bathroom tile are smashed & damaged, the bedding was poor & itchy, and towels were smelly.

Cons: I very dissapointed when i come to room. I request 1 double bed but give me 2 single bed. No towel inside the room.when i request only give me 1 towel.i come with my husband to celebrate our anniversary but very sad.. When request sejadah for pray,until morning i nobody send to me.

Pros: Hotel stuff tried to be friendly and supportive but mostly were not able to solve the customer problems and provide conflicting information. Staff prepared early morning breakfast 5am based to request.

Cons: Dirty rooms, not working shower, smelly room, noise outside near road too loud, bathroom sink tap handle was missing, free internet was not working.
