Tanjung Jara resort

I love how Tanjung Jara resort’s design is very naturalistic, incorporating a lot of earthy colours and woody tones. It really makes you feel like you are away from the hustle and bustle of the city and can properly wind down. Service here is really good too as they are polite and approachable. Only issue is that some of the furniture is stained and peeling, but it’s minor enough to overlook. My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #resortstyle #tripmoments #muststay #resort #nature #greenery #peacock #malaysia

Tanjong Jara Resort

Recommended to those who want privacy and nature lover.Because this resort is isolated from others.If you want to find food somewhere else,it is 10minutes away to Bandar Dungun by car.There are plenty of shop.Most of the shop closed at 10pm.So you need to come early.I didn’t recommend for you guys to travel to Terengganu on Friday.Because it is compulsory for them to closed the shop during Friday Prayers(12:30pm-2:00pm approx)

Experiencing luxurious stay at Tanjong Jara

My family and I went to Tanjong Jara Resort that is located in Dungun, Terengganu for a quick escape from the busy life. It was really relaxing stay here. Their architecture is authentic and the staff here are very welcoming. The bathroom comes with a bathtub and is very spacious and clean. The room is huge and worth the price paid. Our package includes breakfast and everyday they offer different types of food. #hotelreview

Calmness !

Just take a few minutes from kuala terengganu to come here. I fall in love with this place 😍 even its a bit cloudy . I feel calm. I really enjoy my moments with my family here. Playing kite around the beach. There is a restaurant where the price is very cheap and affordable. While enjoying the view of the sea, we ate flour-fried octopus and flour-fried shrimp. Love it ! #memorable_trip

Tanjung Jara Resort, Terengganu

#hotelreview Loved this resort, great view, very friendly staff, great service. Welcome drinks were served while we were waiting for check in. Although the resort was a bit old in terms of interior decoration and it is in the edge of sort of jungle by the beach, it was maintained relatively clean compared to other similar resorts. Drinking water in the room was served in glass bottles, which is very environmental friendly and you can request for more if needed. Breakfast is good, I especially liked there were different Malay Kuehs served during our stay. my rate : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Better late than never…

Great food, great ambiance at Indulge by Coco

Last week I went to a local cafe in Kuala Dungun. It is called the Indulge by Coco. The cafe is not really large but the ambiance is great. We tried their spaghetti carbonara with crispy chicken chop (9/10), spaghetti creamy tom yum with grilled chicken chop (7.5/10), ice latte (7/10), ribena longan sparkling (9/10) and a bowl of longan and dragon fruit (9/10). Overall i think the food taste great and its portion is quite large. In my opinion, the price for each food is reasonable. #hiddengems #localcafe

A luxury resort with privacy

This weekend my family and I went to a small luxury resort called Tanjong Jara Resort. It is located in Dungun Terengganu. The area are very private with limited visitors per day. We booked the Serambi Room and the Bumbung Room. I will break down every caption for every picture down below. 1) The Serambi Room comes with a balcony. 2) The Bumbung Room is above the Serambi room and it does not have balcony. 3)The adults pool. But it was closed when i went there due to the monsoon season so i have no chance to swim in the pool. 4)The king bed in my Serambi room 5)They dont have much selection of breakfast. But this English breakfast is okay. Taste nice. I rate it 8/10 #weekendgetaways
