Genting Bayu Chalet — Attraction in Tioman

I was here to participate in coral propagation work. It was a 5 nights stay at this Chalet.

Pros 5 mins walking distance from the jetty. Many chalets are facing the sea, partially blocked by dining area. Friendly staffs. Reasonable price for value kind-of chalets. Easy access to nearby groceries / hawkers. Facing the waters, you have the ocean as your bathtub just beside the mainhall. You can enjoy a good morning coffee just beside the water. There's a duty free shop for alcohol nearby, the price is about the same as in Kg Paya.

You can easily walk from the one end of the village to the other in thirty minutes, or rent a bicycle to get around. The same concrete footpath that is the main throughway of Genting continues north to the village of Paya and there are footbridges over the many mountain streams that find their way into the ocean here.
