3DN Tioman
Berjaya Tioman Suites
Back from our short getaway trip to Tioman, and more exhausted than ever!
2 months back, we balloted for a 2 bedroom suite at Berjaya, and won the ballot. It was a fantastic deal considering its SG$25.00 per room, per night. So for accommodation in a Junior Suite room for 3D2N, we pay SG$100.00!! We were so thrilled and excited that we managed to snag this deal, like win lucky draw!!
I prowled the web for pics, but wasn't very successful. So we had a vision...In our mind, we had this image of our beautiful seaview Junior Suite Room in Tioman..
We just couldn't wait to get there! Anyway, it was the beginning of a not that fantastic trip. For a start, we realise that there is no longer a direct ferry to Tioman. Nope, we have the option to either fly there or to take a bus to Mersing, and than a ferry to Tioman. We chose the latter as we didn't like the look of the plane.
Bus ride to Mersing took 3.30 hours. And afterwhich, ferry ride to Tioman took another 3 hours. It could probably take a lesser amount of time to reach Tioman, but the way the rides are run, they try to fill the ferry to the maximum capacity before leaving. So ferry ride was crappy and bumpy. We slept for most part of the journey with dripping air-con, and shoulder to shoulder to seating arrangement. It was a good thing the kids were ok, and none of them threw up.
Anyway, when we finally reach our hotel, and got to see our "junior suite" it was a total let-down, anti-climax. Its smaller than a 3room HDB flat with ceremic flooring. Bedrooms are tiny with ONE common bathroom. Retro Furnitures like from the 1980s...gulp... guess it hasn't been changed since then.
I definitely wouldn't pay RM$850 per room night...what were they thinking????
Well, saving grace...we enjoyed our day trip. We got to snorkel and swim with the fishes. The kids enjoyed feeding the fishes with bread which we bought from the bakery. wah...the fish diet damn high in carbo
Verdict for the trip: Think i rather stay home and nuah
