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. ##### aart Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Frederic 19 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Excelente estancia Personal encantador y servicial.

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! ##### Emma Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yoke Fong 15 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### satisfying excellent customer service, the room is clean, super comfort bedding. ##### Yoke Fong Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bin Abdul Rahiman Khairul 12 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very unique Kampung style resort experience.

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. ##### Chee Keong Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MD, KL, Malaysia 1 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities perfect place for couple getaway, nice beaches and super good staff ##### MD Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 8 Apr 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This was an Amazing resort.

The staff immediately arranged other room. It takes 10 minutes, but I think that was their best and we were very happy with it. Facilities are a bit old, there are some small problems but acceptable. The view from the room is very nice. We can sea beautiful sea. Family pool is also with nice view. We could relax. The foods were delicious especially in western restaurant near family pool. Main dining which serves Malay food was also good but there was some smell from river. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deb, Powell Ohio 30 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is remote and very, very quiet which we loved. The staff is excellent and cannot do enough for you. We had great service in particular from Amira and an intern named Sabrina. They helped us with activities and special events that we were celebrating. The check in was flawless, the room was beautiful (Serambi room) and the pools exquisite. Great spa with wonderful services and staff. The two restaurants were great with a good menu and a wonderful set of staff, especially Ann the main cook. She made everything so special. The only downside is having to make a reservation for dinner. I don't think this was emphasized enough on check in and one night a couple who we had made friends with had not made a reservation and only got a table because we invited them to dine with us, which wasn't a problem but with so little to choose from in dining possibilities, they could possibly have been left hungry. The restaurants are a little expensive so be aware of that, but the food is delicious and varied. The pools are fabulous, one infinity pool overlooking the South China Sea and the adult only pool. I personally feel that they should be switched and the adults should have the more luxurious one (infinity). The staff are always bringing water and happy to help with anything you need. Although at the adult only one they tend to be there a little later in the morning, around 11 or so. ##### Deb Stayed 9 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sandrine 16 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Havre de paix pour 3 ou 4 jours. Service impeccable, bon restaurants. On nous avait parlé de chef Ann qui improvisait votre menu avec vous, ce temps est terminé, il y a maintenant une carte,dommage. Nous avons assisté à la remise à la mer de bébés tortues, les enfants ont adoré et nous aussi ! Centre de protection des tortues sérieux. L'hotel est isolé, Dungun sans grand intérêt. ##### sandrine Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 11 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities La plage et l’endroit dans la jungle Le personnel La salle de sport et tennis mériteraient d’etre Rénovés ##### Verified traveller Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cecilia 8 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### An amazing place! This is like heaven on earth! Beautiful location with large clean rooms and wonderful views and surroundings. The site is secluded and quite large, so even if the resort is fully booked, you will not be disturbed by others. Always so quiet and peaceful, a perfect place for recreation and relaxation! The two swimming pools offers good sunbeds with towels and water is delivered to your bed when you need it. The two “famous talking chefs” are excellent; very friendly, amusing and cooks great food. Staff is very friendly and always helpful. Activities, such as snorkeling and excursions are plentiful and good. ##### Cecilia Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 7 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities l’emplacement unique dans la jungle avec animaux d’eau âge La plage est très belle mais pas facile de se baigner avec les vagues La chambre un peu sombre Les équipements sportifs mériterait un peu de rénovation.
