Minang Cove Resort & Spa

Perfect tropical island escape. Snorkelling off the beach, total relaxation. Small family owned and run, lovely, friendly and efficient staff. Just beautiful

Intimate feel. Our 6 y.o. was the only child there at the time, but staff made him very welcome. The beach can get a bit rocky at low tide. The beach is protected from surf and "enclosed" by a rock jetty so safe for kids. Food was good, not great, but fine. Grounds are pretty. Nice walks to the village, waterfall (longer walk) and nearby resort. Boat transfers from the ferry's drop off are a bit pricey. But all in all a very good stay. We were happy to be at this small resort rather than one of the big ones. Great tea time each day for a drink and snack! Beautiful water views (we had a waterside room). No wi-fi and only 2 G data. Go on, disconnect!

Tony, the owner, came to welcome us personally at the jetty when we arrived. He took such good care of us and made us feel so at home. The small resort gives very cosy personal service, was very quick in responding to queries and even helped us to purchase the ferry tickets which we picked up easily from their office near the Mersing ferry terminal. Though there was no WIFI or TV at the resort, we were too busy enjoying nature to even miss them. Appreciated the enforced detoxification from electronic gadgets and focus on family bonding. The unlimited free water, freshly made cakes for high tea, and delicious meals were nice touches. Also liked the sand toys, but suggest that there could also be some board games and free snorkelling equipment (instead of charging rental) The highlights of our trip was certainly the amazing reef not far from shore, full of colourful corals and fish. We even found a ray amongst the rocks! Another highlight was the nightly fish feeding at the jetty. It attracted at least 10 reef sharks! Our family had an awesome time and will love to come again. Certainly recommended for anyone in search for a quiet relaxing break.

I came with my family and had a relaxing time. The resort did not have wifi, which I thought was going to be an issue but it was nice to be unplugged for a couple of days. We did have lunch at the resort 10 minutes away to get wifi one day. The beach was beautiful and great access to snorkeling. The dive shop arrangements were really easy and laid back. The staff were friendly and laid back! I definitely will go back and recommend it.

Love Tioman. Minang Cove is a wonderful boutique resort. It was perfect for our family. Special shout-out to Anna who was fantastic! Thank you!

We had the most wonderful vacation at minang cove. Beforehand, we thought a lot about whether it makes sense to come there with our baby (7 months). Now, I can only encourage anyone with a child to come there. The staff was extraordinarily child friendly and helpful. The resort is very small so that we could even use our babyphon when the baby slept in the room at the beach and at the bar. There were many nice spots in the shadow and there where virtually no moquitos there which we didn`t expect. But we didn't like the place only because it was suitible for our baby. The place is a little paradise, the food is good and the rooms are really nice. Nevertheless, I should also point out that the beach is (very) small (which didn't bother us, because we had it almost to ourselves) and that many of the corals at the house reef are dead. For nicer corals I suggest to book a snorkeling tour. Moreover, the Spa was closed when we came there in Oktober (i.e., at the end of the season).

Stayed here for 2 nights. We were welcomed by the owner, Tony when we reached the private Jetty. Followed by welcome drink and towel. It was a good start. Tony explained to us about his resort and scuba packages before we check in. That was very informative. To a city girl like me, I wasn't really enjoyed the 1st day because except snookering and eating, there is nothing much I can do (No WIFI, No Karaoke, No Board games etc). But after a night, I started to feel the beauty of it. I learned to relax (I think this is what Tony wants their guests to be), enjoy the sun, sea, and every breeze and star. During the Shark feeding at 9pm, we laid on the bench, looking at the sky counting the stars. It was amazing. We truly enjoyed it. Meal - Breakfast and Dinner are provided. But I think their dinner starts a bit late, at 8pm. My kids were extremely hungry after so much exercise during the day. So I would suggest you to bring some snacks just in case. Sea - beautiful bay they have. We spotted beautiful fishes near the jetty. It's not easy to spot baby shark and turtle. A bit disappointed but overall, we still happy with what we saw. Especially the last day we finally spotted a sea turtle but too bad, we were packed and leaving soon. Will I go back again? Definitely. We miss the crew and will definitely plan to take the diving course one day.
