Zum Entspannen ganz OK!
Dieses Hüttchen am Strand besticht durch seine Lage am Meer und den kurzen und zentralen Weg vom Jetty Kekek. Luxus darf man allerdings nicht erwarten, es ist sauber und für ein paar Tage am Strand ganz ok. Gleich nebenan gibt es ein passables Lokal.

Absolutely fantastic location.
There may be no better place to watch the sunset. Comfortable, understated accommodation in keeping with the location. Not some huge hotel that looks transplanted from elsewhere; this is a proper island experience with welcoming, knowledgeable staff.

My favourite place during my visit to paradise (= Tioman island)
It took me quite some time to get back here, but my visit to paradise - erm "the Station Tioman&cafe" - has left such a lasting impression, that I believe the owners still very much deserve this feedback: Went there with my brother shortly after the opening-up after the pandemic had started and this place of beach on this wonderful island is simply paradise. With the friends we made at the station cafe with its relax-mood drinks, we saw several times a turtle swimming so beautifully out there just a few meters into the water with simple snorkelling. The sunset is unbeatable, but it is a nice - soul dangle (Seele baumeln in German) place throughout the day. And the little huts for staying the night are cozy and very much to my liking. It is a down-to-earth place as I like it - simple, heartfelt, without all the things you actually never need and spend you precious time upon. The owners speak also excellent Swiss-German and have also been very helpful with recommending other activities on the island or nice (and above all "delicious") food options in other places around the island. Never had such a relaxing holiday as this one in 2022...hope to go there again, although it was much easier from Singapore than now back in Europe..

Cottage sulla spiaggia e ottime vibes
Cottage a diretto contatto con una bella spiaggia, facilities essenziali ma curato per farti sentire a casa. Una nota particolare la merita la giovane proprietaria che riempie gli ospiti di attenzioni , sempre sollecita, sorridente e efficace.Consiglio questa soluzione a coloro che desiderano stare a contatto con la natura in relativa semplicità, in una atmosfera familiare.

Gemütliches Resort zum Entspannen
Ob du einfach Entspannung an einem abgelegenen Insel Paradise, oder auch einfach deinen nächsten ‘work from anywhere’ Ort, suchst, dann bist du bei ‘The Station’ auf Tioman genau richtig! Du wirst von den zwei Gastgeberinnen, Hildi und Marcella warmherzlich begrüßt und während deines  Aufenthalts mit allerlei Leckereien aus dem Beach cafe, Ausflugs-Tipps (wie Jungle Trekking oder Island Hopping), und natürlich dem kristallklarem Wasser, bestmöglich versorgt. Die Chalets sind geräumig und verfügen über komfortable Betten, angenehmen Wasserdruck in der Dusche, einer großen Terrasse mit Sitzmöglichkeiten und einer Hängematte. Selbst wenn du die Hitze ab und zu entfliehen möchtest, ist dies auch in den Ventilator -und klimatisierten Zimmern möglich! Stabiles Internet wird natürlich auch angeboten. Ich kann es nur jedem weiterempfehlen!

Great beach getaway
We had a lovely three days at The Station - very much enjoyed the beachfront chalets, sundowners and relaxed pace of the island. The chalets were a cut above some we've stayed in - comfy beds, hot water, decent air conditioning and for a few extra ringgit we had a mini-fridge in one room, handy with the duty free shop just across the road. Some good snorkelling too - the house reef has decent coral directly off the beach and the short boat trip to P. Rengis was worthwhile, seeing a turtle, some small black tip sharks and loads of fish. Hosts Hildi and Marcella are wonderful - super friendly and helpful, going out their way to refill our water, share tips about Tioman and breakfast next door at Swiss Cottage was handy and hit the spot. The Station's bar does snacks and drinks, with decent meals next door at the dive centre or just across the road. If Singapore didn't have such strict restrictions on subletting our flat I expect we would be semi-resident here for weeks at a stretch working remotely on the excellent wifi - even now that sounds super appealing and I'm itching to go back!One word of warning (nothing to do with The Station, mind) - open restaurants on the island were still thin pickings when we visited (early May 2022) - we ended up eating at the same place three or four meals and waited best part of two hours for our food another night as the other restaurant in Tekek was really busy. All part of the charm of island life - but didn't feel that charming when ravenous at 9PM! So plan ahead and maybe don't wait for the sun to go down before looking for food. But I'm sure that is getting better by the week as more tourists come back.

Great place to completely relax and absorb island life.
At a 1.5hr hop away from Kuala Lumpur this place is the perfect getaway for couples and families. We thoroughly enjoyed the sea, new connections, nature walk and just overall relaxation. Our 7yo kid spent most of the trip exploring the sea whilst his brother built sand castles. I would totally recommend this place. We also enjoyed the company of the hostesses as well as some of the guests staying at the resort.One note for those visiting Tioman. Currently, there's a shortage of staff on the island, so you may end up changing dinner plans due to the limited opening hours of restaurants.

The Station: Familiäres Resort am Traumstrand auf der Insel Tioman
The station is a small resort on a stunning sandy beach in Tekek. Only ten minutes by car from the jetty and the airport in Tioman.The chalets are simple but very clean. Each bungalow has a wooden deck and chairs. You can also sit at their bar at the beach and watch the awesome sunset. It is very romantic. So make sure if you go to Tioman to stay with Hildi and Marcella @The Station They are by far the best hosts on the island. They will become your family! Hildi and Marcella greet you with a warm welcome ???????? and make your stay there very pleasant and enjoyable. They offer a lot of activities, fun snacks like quiche, croissant ???? and brie or even a floating bar with champagne ????! Fun! If you want they will prepare breakfast and fruit snacks for the snorkeling tours. They try to make everything possible for you!Book in advance, they are mostly booked out! Especially the three bungalows with full ocean view.Enjoy and say hi from me!

Beautiful and chill
Very nice place in a good location, good for staying or just come for a drink. Friendly hosts, beautiful beach. They will help you organise activities on the island. Jungle tour highly recommended. Would definitely come back again, with SKS flights now its even easier.

Best beach chalet to relax and work
We've seen quite a few island destinations in Malaysia by now, but would particularly like to recommend The Station Tioman as a gem on Tioman Island. The location is unique, walking distance to Kampung Tekek and with a house reef worth seeing.It is very positive that the Internet connection (especially in contrast to other places on the island) is very powerful, here the dream of working from anywhere can come true.Hildi and Marcella serve perfect coffee in the morning and delicious specialties in the afternoon. They are also happy to help organize excursions.We have already recommended The Station Tioman several times and will definitely spend a (short) vacation there again.
