we were there for 5 days family holiday incl my mum and my sister's baby. had a great time just relaxing and enjoying the resort. rooms are nice and comfortable, very clean and well maintained even if a tad old fashioned (eg the plug points were not enough for all our equipment and located inconveniently). the staff were wonderful from...

This is a lovely resort which offers pure relaxation in beautiful surroundings. The staff make this place what it is as the friendly service from every single staff contributes to the lovely atmosphere at the resort. The food was excellent in both restaurants and again the friendly service made every meal a joy. We had a couple of treatments in... More

Thoroughly loved every minute of our week long trip. We wanted somewhere to relax away from larger tourist resorts and this was the perfect choice. Food and service were absolutely amazing and we will be back to this first class resort.

A cosy little gem of a resort tucked away on Malaysia's East coast. It's not up there with the Amans and the Banyan Trees in terms of sophistication, but if you are looking for a quiet picturesque retreat then this fits the bill. The beach is great and what is particularly nice is the absence of vendors pestering you for... More

This resort is a secluded heaven half way up the eastern Malaysian penninsula. Two good, but different restaurants, a fine curving beach, attentive staff and stunning gardens. There's not much to do in the surrounding area but the resort is somewhere you would want to not leave. Large rooms with verandahs look out over the Gulf of Thailand and there... More

My 6th visit and I just love this place. The pressure was on because I came this time with both my brother and one of my oldest friends from the UK. Tanjong Jara just produces this incredibly laid back atmosphere taking you far away from the worries of day to day life. It really has everything you could want from... More

The villas offer a high level of comfort and are beautifully conceived in a traditional exotic colonial style. The incredible kindness and warmth of it's employees ads a genuine human touch to it's already flawless... More

This is a truly wonderful hotel and has obviously heeded some of the criticisms made in recent years. Staff are helpful, food is good, beach clean and spa rather wonderful. Not all rooms have balconies at the moment (this, I understand, is being corrected with the upgradings) - so I suggest you recommend one - nor Wi-Fi except at a... More

The hole setting is just perfect. We stayed in a room with sea view and a seperate terrace near the spa village and the beach restaurant. Breakfast and other meals are excellent but a kind of expensive....Beach strip is very clean and private and you can enjoy perfectly the atmosphere. Front desk is very helpful. Don't consider to take the... More
