Midrange
Paya Beach Resort
Kampung paya south of tekek, (http://www.payabeach.com). a typical tioman resort featuring an almost-private beach, a particularly good restaurant, a swimming pool, a dive shop and chalets of varying standards. the crumbling standard chalets are poor value, the newer superiors are much better. get a package here as the rack rates are extortionate.
Tioman Paya Resort
(http://www.tiomanpayareso...). located behind the paya beach resort, this resort is in need of upgrading. the chalets have hot water, a/c and tv. however, the a/c in the chalets are of the 1980s model that can vibrate strongly. the toilet is not what you expect to see in a mid-range resort, and the towels and blanket are very worn out.
Idaman Beach Holiday
From rm80 per night. the only resort on the southern side of the jetty, idaman beach holiday is located on a beautiful stretch of beach. the rooms are simple and can accommodate two to four persons. all rooms face the beach and it is only a few steps from your doorstep to the shore.
Nazri's Place
 +60 9 4191329, (http://www.nazrisplace.com/). you can camp too there with the price of rm3 person per day. ask to build camp next to pizza "hut" near beach. this camp place will suite for 2 tent 4 man tent. there are field behind for more tent, but it is far a bit from beach.
Melina Beach Resort
(http://www.tioman-melinab...). about halfway between the genting and paya jetties, melina beach resort is a small, non-malaysian owned and run resort. while the resort is comparably cramped with the 2009 addition of a new building, the semi-private beach is long and shaded rests are great. it offers both a/c and fan rooms built in typical chalet-style, and other more original rooms such as a tree hut. the restaurant also caters for western tastes with some german specialties, and is clearly above average price. free pick-up and drop from the genting jetty can be arranged. alternatively, it is a pleasant 20 min walk.
Ella Place
Located at the northern end of salang bay and one of the quieter options in salang. a few small, simple chalets all face the sea. each chalet has a fan and an attached bathroom with cold shower, while some also come with air-conditioning.
Minang Cove Resort
(http://www.minangcove.com.my). the three villas and nine chalets are all a/c with ensuite facilities situated on the south tip of tioman island.
Nipah Paradise Resort
A nice small bay in the south of tioman, with only two small resorts, the beach and a creek. nipah is the right beach for people, who want to get away from it all because there is not even a public telephone! the atmosphere is laid back and relaxed, most of the travelers are backpackers who put up at nipah beach chalets. the second resort - nipah paradise - is a haven for the backpackers. it offers small cheap chalets. the nice owners offer a two days trekking tour through the jungle to the peak of gunung kajang, tioman's highest peak 1038 m.
Practically every kampung on the west coast of the island has a self-styled resort or two. A typical air-conditioned chalet will set you back in the vicinity of RM 100, although significant discounts can be negotiated in the off-season, in package deals or just by showing up and smiling. In off-season it is advisable to just show up and pick the best and cheapest spots. Genting resorts are largely owned and operated by friendly local fisherman families. For the support of the local community, you are likely to have a chance to pick the best fish at the beach in the evening and have it prepared by the women.
Bamboo Hill Chalets
Northern end of air batang, (http://www.bamboohillchal...). a very small resort with just six rooms. rm70-rm120 . the boulder-top chalets are simple no a/c or hot water or tv but to a very high standard, and all directly overlook the sea. the majority of guests are repeat visitors, and booking well in advance is pretty much essential. closed during the monsoon season.

While the most commercialized of Malaysia's east coast islands, Tioman has yet to be invaded by mass tourism on the scale of Penang or Langkawi and there are plenty of cheap beds to be found. However, if heading for anywhere other than the backpackers' villages, reservations are advisable as getting to some of the more remote kampungs can be a hassle. Note that some places stay open year round, but many close for the monsoon season typically end of October to mid/late February.
Budget
Most of Tioman's backpacker accommodation is to the north of the island, with numerous budget chalet operations clustered around Salang and Air Batang sometimes also referred to as ABC - although this is the name of the resort at the northern end of the beach, not the beach itself, and to a lesser extent Tekek. Dorm beds start about RM 20, single rooms huts around RM 40 and up.
