We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Tanjung Jara Resort. The property is stunning, perfectly blending luxury with traditional Malay architecture. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the staff. They are incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive. The beach is pristine, and the peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect getaway.

This is an ideal resort for a relaxing break. The setting blends beautifully with the natural woodlands and the beach and there is a real sense of peace and calm. There is an excellent spa and three very good restaurants. The staff provide a great level of service and go out of their way to make you feel special.

The staff and service was great, special thanks to Dive Master Syafiq, Nau and Amira at front desk for their hospitality. The beach was clean and wavy. Everything was perfect except that the sea side restaurant Neyalan was not well organised. The food orders were always missed or came in one hour at lunch time. they didn’t clean the table thoroughly before giving it to you. The food quality was bad. Usually people want to eat healthy at resorts but we ended up having too many burgers at Neyalan as choices of food was poor. They do offer a 75ringgit semi buffet but the staff never bother to tell us what was that about as they were overwhelmed. The hotel GM needs to hire more staff for catering. We missed good food after staying here for six days.

We stayed as a family at Tanjong Jara resort. This is really a lovely place. Pure luxury. Beautiful resort, beautiful and clean beach, where you can swim. Restaurants are really good. Free gym and tenniscourt. We saw hornbills at the resort. Absolutely the best hotel we stayed at in Malaysia. Truely recommend.

Beautiful hotel on good beach. It is a bit tired but still a great place to relax. Staff generally helpful & attentive. Food is pretty good overall. Biggest complaint was air con in bedroom sound like 747 on take off. No ability to change this - either on or off. Overall a good hotel but certainly not at international 5 star level.

All the staff were very friendly and helpful. They'd come around the pool serving water and ice lollies. We visited to celebrate our anniversary and was pleasantly surprised by the effort (no spoilers here). Not the resort's fault, but the private beach had some oil spills which were very difficult to wash off. I had to send my shoes for professional cleaning. The resort was undergoing renovation, glad to see improvements/maintenance!
Verified review

6/10 Good

The beautiful photos on the hotel website influenced our decision to try the resort and indeed on arrival we were very impressed with the lovely lobby and reception area with its many water features. We can only assume these photos were taken many years ago as sadly the rest of the resort did not live up to this and has a very run down and neglected feel to it. Also, the website states it is one hour from the airport but it is a good 1.5+ hours, even with drivers who drive very fas The gardens are lush and have so much to offer but are in desperate need of attention, with the grass areas looking very barren. The adult pool is a very strange colour and not inviting at all. The kid friendly pool is nice enough with comfortable sun loungers but the umbrellas are too small to offer much shade. We only stayed one night in the end and ate dinner at the main breakfast/lunch/dinner restaurant. The food was delicious and chef Ann a character! We were however disappointed that there was no satay on the menu?! A Malaysian staple!? We found the terrace restaurant a very strange concept with just a handful of tables and a movie playing throughout? We would not choose to have any kind of movie playing whilst eating dinner. Our room, 1601, was spacious and the bed comfortable. However there was not enough hot water for my husband to have a bath and for me to shower at the same time. Only enough hot water for one or the other? We also had issues with the toilet flush which kept sticking.

Beautiful location and quiet and relaxing. Initially put in rooms at far end of resort which was odd as it was not busy but moved to rooms in a more central location which was much better

Very unique Kampung style resort experience. Outstanding hospitality from staff team especially Anna & Amira from front desk and the Room Manager, Jazz. The food at Di atas sungei for both breakfast and dinner and the ala-carte lunch at Nelayan was certainly top notch and delicious. Will definitely return after the rainy season to better enjoy the resort facilities.

Excelente estancia

Personal encantador y servicial. El tratamiento del Spa maravilloso. En algunos aspectos el resort necesita alguna mejora en las habitaciones para añadir confort. Más enchufes disponibles para dispositivos electrónicos, colchón, puertas y ventanas que no cierran. Sin embargo, se incluyen muchos detalles para los huéspedes; agua fresca en la habitación y en la piscina. Loción anti mosquitos, crema para picaduras, chanclas para cada huésped de la habitación…

YTL hotels pretentious & overrated

We stayed three nights at YTL Tanjong Jara Resort last month. YTL Tanjong Jara Resort is overrated. Unless you book the most expensive sea villa, other rooms at the resort are pretty standard. Rooms are large but not well maintained. There was a huge crack in one of the bathroom wash basins. Small TV in the room with not many TV channels. Housekeeping not so efficient. The day bed in the room was dusty and not clean. F&B is even worse. Breakfast was mediocre at best. Pancakes were dry. Kuey Teow soup tasteless with very little ingredients and the Mee goreng too salty. Wonder what kind of chefs they employ? We had lunch at the hotel and one plate of char kuey teow costs 40 ringgit! There are two swimming pools. One smallish pool with a deep end and not very clean. The other pool, which looks bigger in photos than actual, is crowded unless you go early in the morning when everyone is still in bed. Tennis court is old and just for show. Tennis court needs resurfacing. In fact most of the resort, especially the hotel rooms need a refurbishment. Some parts of the hotel landscaping is quite well designed but a large part of the resort is just jungle. Beach at the resort is boring. Definitely No Wow Factor! One does not have to pay quite so much to enjoy more pristine beaches in Terengganu. The only plus factor of this resort is the quality of service which was overall good. TJ resort needs a facelift badly. YTL hotels are rather pretentious & overrated.
