1511 Coconut Grove

The accommodation boasts exceptionally friendly staff and well-maintained, comfortable rooms with air conditioning and front porches. Its perfect beachfront location compensates for the 30-45 minute travel time.

We recently stayed here for five nights. The garden is very beautiful and the food at the restaurant was good. In the photos it looks like the perfect picture. Unfortunately it wasn't. We spent the night in rooms 113 and 114. There you face the storage area, but we didn't think that was an issue. However, on the other side of the fence there is a generator running day and night. That sounds like a truck idling. And around 10:30 PM he makes even more noise. We could not enjoy the balcony because of the noise. Because we were traveling with small children, we couldn't leave the house at night, so we were forced to sit in our room on the bed. But even there you hear the generator all the time. You never hear any silence. So don't count on the peaceful tranquility that the photos radiate, at least not if you sleep in the same corner as us. A staff member said that it is the generator of the hotel next to us. They were working on something to muffle the sound. Unfortunately we didn't notice anything about that. We believe that Coconut Grove could have informed us in advance about the noise pollution. Because this gave us a headache and it ruined the location.

I enjoyed my 3 nights stay here. The only complaint i have is i and my son waited at Tekek jetty for our transport, which Jip in his email’s response that transport would be arranged but did not turn up. For this i did not want to give them 5 stars for this review. They should serious review such oversight and not repeat it again. Other then this , i am happy to stay here and will stay here again if I visit tioman again. The hotel is nested at the far end of the concrete pavement (also served as the only runway for vehicles) fill with beautiful greenery surrounding setting. Room is clean and well equipped but without TV (i dont TV is needed, the wifi signal is good and enough to keep you occupied if you want to connect to the digital world). We took all out meals here and I considered foods is above average and the price is reasonable. Staff is helpful and friendly. One thing the hotel can improve is to set up more beach facilities such as more beach bench. The current sets are too few and lack maintenance. I and my son brought ourselves with foldable field chair and we really enjoy sitting close to the sea enjoying the sun rise and in the evening looking at sea and the azure skies.
