There's 2 active operators in Tenggol now;
1) Tenggol Coral Beach Resort (http://www.tenggolisland.com/)
2) Tenggol Island Beach Resort (http://www.pulautenggol.com/)

The 3rd operator only opens when he gets sufficient bookings, else closed. So the place is really poorly maintained, you do not want to stay there (take my word for it). Plus I don't even know how to contact the operator as there's little or no marketing at all.

Tenggol Coral Beach Resort was abandoned for nearly 3 years until middle last year a new management took over. The old management couldn't manage it well before they shut down. So people who went there many years back may not like it at all. But the new management were inexperienced (you can see the poor reviews in TripAdvisor) compared to Tenggol Island Beach Resort who have been operating there for 10+ years. I stayed in Tenggol Coral Resort which was more expensive. Fortunately the management improved a lot since last year. The staffs were very friendly & helpful, plus the resort overall looks slightly better than Tenggol Island Resort (hence the premium).

I did walked around Tenggol Island Resort too, it looks not too bad honestly. So for those who don't mind a decent accommodation & don't wanna pay premium, I guess Tenggol Island Resort is the one for you.

I have photos but dunno whether to post here or the Redang/Perhentian/Tenggol Thread.
I was there from 14 to 18 March'14. If you're staying over the weekend then we must have met there. I was supposed to go back on the 17th but on the morning of 17th, the boatman said the waves were too rough, so he can't bring us back. So, the manager FOC 1 more night for me lol.

I started to dive in Tenggol since 1997. Initially the name was Tenggol Aqua Resort. Few years back, the husband of the owner passed away, let the business ran by their sons. Since he doesn't have time to manage the resort, he rented out / leased the place to the new management.

Yes indeed the management improved a lot since last year flex.gif

Anyway, which one are you? I went there from 14-16 and the rough waves started on the day I went back. To be honest, I freaking scared as the waves as high as 18 feet. sweat.gif

Ahh....small world. Last weekend, there's only you, your friend & the French lady diving. I'm the snorkeler lol. The waves & current was indeed strong, saw you guys got swept away so quickly. On my departure day, the wave was too high that the boatman declared unsafe to travel. So my stay got extended by another night.

Yea Siew & Adrian told me the history of the resort & how the have been managing it. I spent lotsa time with them cause they're very friendly lol.

I was told that the son who leased the resort to the current management was there last weekend too.
