It was simply beautiful. Great service, great views, great food, great diving spots. There were two islands for this resort, so it is a bit more fun to stay here than other water resort--although water bungalow has its own beauty too. We went to Maldives in 2011, and in comparison, i think Mataking is of much better value!

You need to be in this resort where the dive sport is amazingly great. Value for money: Service, price & Quality 'Heaven Can Wait' in 3 words

Just got back from our 3 night vacation at Mataking. We have travelled quite a bit around SE Asia and can say this was one of our best holidays. The staff at Mataking were absolutely amazing and extremely friendly. Always went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. Just an amazing setting. Myself, wife and son went... More

I and my wife had a 4-day snorkeling vacation here in Mar 2012 and found the experience very satisfying. Weather was perfect. The sand bank connecting the two islands is spectacular.

I want to make a comment on Dilla who handled my query on. She needs to be re-trained, her phone matters are atrocious, not polite nor helpful and bad listening skills as i had to repeat several things twice. Even worst the prices she quoted were extremely high (how about more than twice what the second reservation officer quoted). Is... More

I've signed up to tripadvisor to submit a review in response to a negative review on 27th Sept '11. I was on Mataking when the reviewer stayed here and although I agree with some of the negative comments, I have to counter some. The Diving Although my partner and I have only completed 60 and 30 dives respectively, I hope... More

I stayed 4 wonderful nights in this resort during end September to early October 2011 as a non-diver in full board package. Originally I planned to stay in Mabul Overwater Bungalow but it was all full even my booking was made in 2 months advance. My travel agent then recommended this resort to me and at the time when I...
