Tanjong Jara Resort is certainly beautiful, however there were a few areas which could do with improvement. We stayed in the one of the Anjung Rooms (beach villa) we were lucky enough to have the one that was actually right on the beach, the others had a large strip of grass in front with pathways for people to walk along...

We have had the opportunity to a mixture of relaxation combined with many of the resort's activities. The staff are very friendly and helpful, whilst the rooms are large and comfortable with a large bathroom. The food is good without being 5 star great. Chef Ann is a character with the food in the Asian restaurant above that of the... More

Stayed in TJR at the start of June for 7 nights as part of our honeymoon. Overall I would say this a very good resort. Set into a wooded backdrop against a good private beach. The resort is quite picturesque and we found it to be very quiet. During the day it often felt like we were on our own... More

We visited Tanjong Jara after booking some cheap flights to Terenganu and realising that the boats to Redang and the hotels on Redang all seemed to have some issues. Not, of course, that Tanjong Jara doesn't. Its 89km south from the airport so the hotel can provide a 300RM taxi, or an airport operator can do the same for 250RM.... More

What to say, the resort is a beautiful place with a terrific beach and a lovely pool (despite I prefer the beach). The rooms are spacious and the bathroom excellent. The staff is friendly and the service professional. The are two restaurant. The one at the pool is average, the asian one is excellent.

We stayed at TJR, as they refer to it, beginning of June. We chose this resort, because we did want to go to the east coast of Malaysia, but were not determined to go to one of the many islands. We did want to drive from KL. Kuantan we visited before, and Kuala Terrenganu seemed to be just a bit... More

For those who have experienced 5 star resort overseas, this resort may fall short of expectation. Nevertheless, it is still one of the best resort in Malaysia and the best on the East Coast of Malaysia. The resort itself is generally very nice and the architecture reflect the Malay culture which is what the resort is advocating "Unmistikably Malay" in... More

I am writing this review on my second and final (hopefully not the last!) night at the resort lobby. We, 2 adults and 3 grown children, just wanted a quick 2 nights stay at a beach for the school holidays and chose the resort which is about 5 hours drive from Kuala Lumpur.

Another great stay at the TJR which never disappoints from the moment you arrive. ALL the staff were very helpful, polite and nothing was too much and took great pleasure in making a fuss of the children. The resort is in a beautiful location, about an hour from Terengganu airport, great restaurants with a good variety of food for everyone.... More
