We stayed at Tanjong Jara at the end of October during start of monsoon so weather was a bit unpredictable but we had some lovely days and it was so quiet and peaceful which is what we wanted. Food in the two restaurants was excellent. And the menu master at the main restaurant helps you choose what to eat in the "no menu concept" restaurant and doing interesting trips to the market. Didn't do many other trips because spent most time just relaxing but there are some excursions to do.
Made mistake of having the "steamboat" one dinner. If you like boiled meat and seafood and all tasting of fish then fill your boots cos you will get lots of it. We don't so we stuck to the two main restaurants after that. Overall it is the best hotel on the east coast.
Luxurious rooms, great food mostly, friendly staff, spacious,
None
- Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Morning market is interesting.

Most luxurious hotel we have stayed in. The villa was incredibly beautiful with the lovely touches of thongs and gowns, great bathroom products, decent wine, massive bathroom. Great extras like the BBQ appetisers, water and fruit by the pool, separate no kids pool. Great guide Ann that took us around the market in Dungong. As a tip for travellers, the cab ride from Terrenganu should cost no more than 90 ringgit.Value for money with half price through Agoda.Location far from anything so good in a way but a bit of a drive to get there.
Everything
The restaurant near reception was way too hot. It needed airconditionong. We were seated by a window but we were still too hot to enjoy our meal.

A beautiful and luxurious hotel, spoilt by the food on offer in the main restaurant.
For an international hotel we would expect an extensive menu, offering more of a variety of cuisines, and not just Malaysian food.
On arrival, the verandah doors to our room would not close, and we had to call maintenance. These things should be checked beforehand.
Gorgeous rooms, shame about the food.
Beautiful and well appointed room with plenty of space for our 11 year old to share the room with us.
Unfortuntaely the restaurant on the beach was holding a private function on the evening that we wanted to eat there. However we did have lunch on the beach, and the service was not up to standard - two of us had finished our main course before the third persons had arrived. We were also not impressed with the 'walking menu' concept in the main dining area and felt pressured into choosing something that we did not enjoy. The pleasure of perusing a menu was denied us.
Tajong Jara Wonderful (beach,spa,resto)

Had few boring evenings, no bar, no party on the beach, just go back to your room after dinner concept.
