From the moment we book the ferry ticket from Taman Tamadun Islam, Terengganu, everything and everyone was so kind and welcoming. Our first time here in Redang and it was a fabulous one with all the kind and helpful sincere staffs from Laguna Redang. Highly recommended and will definitely return to this paradise! They have a warong near our room and we had their food for 3nights. Even have prata and burger ramlee live station! Perfect paradise for me and my family.
Resort Stay Review—
My overall stay at this resort was great, and I would definitely consider returning with my extended family.
Arrival & Ferry Service—
The complimentary ferry service from Fairfield Kuala Besut to Perhentian Island and back was a nice touch. We were provided with free drinks, and the waiting area at the restaurant or lobby was comfortable and convenient.
Birthday Surprise—
This was a birthday trip for my husband, and I truly appreciated the effort put into decorating our room and providing a complimentary birthday cake. It made our stay extra special!
Room & Privacy—
The room itself was spacious and comfortable, but it lacked privacy as it was clearly visible from the pool opposite (Room No. 2048). I requested a room change to a more private space but, unfortunately, received no response.
Cleanliness & Housekeeping Issue—
On the second day, I found a dead animal stuck on the daybed’s blind. Since I wasn’t using the blind, I left it there as we were checking out the next day. However, I was disappointed with the front desk’s response when I reported it upon checkout. The receptionist simply said, “Oh, we will ask them to see and remove it,” without offering an apology or even a simple thank you for informing them. For a five-star hotel, I expected better hospitality and professionalism.
Dining Experience—
• Breakfast Buffet: The breakfast buffet was fantastic, with a wide variety of options to choose from. I especially loved the nasi lemak—the sambal was just right, not watery or overly sweet. There were also plenty of desserts and even ice cream, which was a nice surprise!
• In-Room Dining: The food was delicious and well-presented, but it wasn’t very warm upon arrival. It would be great if they could serve it hotter or use a warmer.
• Restaurant Dinner: I ordered grilled beef, grilled prawns, and fish, and all were absolutely delicious!
Facilities & Environment—
The resort’s facilities were excellent—top-notch in every aspect. I especially loved the romantic beach area, though the climb to reach it was a bit tiring. Still, the view and experience were worth it!
Late Checkout & Departure—
A big plus was the complimentary late checkout at 4 PM, which aligned perfectly with the ferry departure time. This was really convenient and appreciated.
Final Thoughts—
Despite a few minor issues, I truly enjoyed my stay. The resort offers a wonderful experience, great food, and excellent facilities. I would definitely return with my extended family for another trip!
Tanjong Jara Resort is a place you come to just chill by the pool and beach as the nearest town, Dungun, doesn't really have much going on. The waves were quite strong when I was there in March (tail end of the monsoon season), but the resort had a staff member stationed on the beach watching out for those using it. The main pool was well-used, although it never felt really crowded - could be cleaned more often though, especially the sides. I didn't use the adult pool, which is usually quieter.
Breakfast at Di Atas Sungei was semi-buffet with the eat-all-you-want mains ordered off a menu during the weekdays, and full buffet during the weekends. I actually preferred the weekday style. Dinner at Di Atas Sungei was good with the long-serving Chef Ann bringing her infectious energy to the evenings. They are always willing to modify dishes, and even serve something off-menu, if you ask. The service staff are friendly and always make the effort to remember you, although it can be a bit hard getting their attention at times. If you are a big eater or someone who needs a regular 3-meals-a-day however, I strongly recommend you check out the full-board or resident's package, as a la carte can be quite pricey, especially for a couple.
The spa was really good - I had a traditional Malay massage and the Ikal-ikal hair treatment. Do check with them if they have any in-house promotions and make sure you book early!
They also recently opened a games room at the back of the resort with computer games, foosball table, snooker table, board games and a karaoke room, so families can have something else to do aside from swimming, playing tennis and visiting the turtle conservation centre.
Overall, I definitely recommend TJR for a relaxed beach/pool getaway.
The hotel itself and it's location was great. The weather was sunny, making the water activity do-able and nice. Thanks for the hardworking lifeguard at the beach and attentive restaurant waiter/waitress. However, the service at the reception and manager handling a paid room upgrade should be improved further for a better guest experience. Not a 5-star experience. Lol. Hope they can improve on the communication and better room coordination. Marriott/Shangrila will do this in a much better way. Maybe it's me who put higher expectation on Taaras
Is this resort deserve a repeat? Maybe NO. Anyway tq for the experience
Very good experience from start to finish. We came from another hotel and they checked us in early around 11am which allowed us to freshen up and take a snorkelling trip.
We booked a standard but were given a much larger room. A/C, Fridge and shower were great. The hotels restaurant was very good and offered a very efficient service. Check out was quick and to get off Perhentian Besar, we got picked up at Barat's own jetty.
It was an absolute pleasure to stay here!
Always love this hotels. Staff was very helpful. Located at nearby viral food location. Nasi dagang and mee champa. Nearby mall. Easy access to public bus aswell. Good location for travellers.
I chose this hotel because the hotel i usually booked was fully occupied. Location wise in town, but no quite central. I am happy they fulfilled my request for upper floors with a nice view. My room was at the 6th and we had beautiful drawbridge view. Room was very clean with basic amenities.
Pros:
- Modern design, clean room
- Beautiful view
- Cantek Sekali cafe is just across the street. Must try!
- Friendly staff. Thank you for capturing nice photos of us :)
- Complimentary caramel salted cofee/ teh tarik for certain time at lounge area
Cons:
- Limited parking on first come first serve basis
- OKU parking was misused by guests because of the lack of parking space
- No hair dryer
- No TV channel, unless you have your own Netflix account and etc.
- No breakfast. They literally have no kitchen. You have to plan your meals.
- Location can be a bit confusing
Good but only the room quite smelly at first you enter the room and there are spider web that l can notices in that room.. Other awesome especially the toilet. The room for 3 of us was very big. Tq
The hotel is located in the mid-levels. The environment is beautiful, the restaurant is beautiful, the food is first-rate, the waiters are very friendly, understand Chinese, there are two-person boat hire, you can go out to the sea to watch the sunset, the beach is beautiful, the water is crystal clear, hope to come again soon
Impian Hotel warm gesture was really good as Staff name Hafzan (I hope i spell ur name correctly) so helpful from check in until check out when smoothly 😇.
If come to long beach please include Impian Hotel on ur list. Recommended 👍🏻.

MMsaifullahsany90Excellent service. Before check in they call us to confirmed what times expected to check in. Im also requested to hv a pool view. Room cleanliness is superb. Huge smart tv in the room. Super delicious breakfast spreads. Staff is friendly some more. Definitely will stay again on my next terengganu visit.
SsuehanananaBig room. Comfortable. Bathrooms are all clean. Limited breakfast. Gotta go down a little fast. Overall everything is okay. The hotel is really close to the payang market. in the middle of the city. Can be reached on foot. In front of the hotel there is a white mosque. Muslims can pray near there.
Only this is an old hotel. So the furniture is all old. Receptionists are all friendly. Really satisfied. School holiday fully book. Must book early.

AAnonymous UserLocated just infront KTCC which is very convenient for us to sightseeing. Not only that, it also near to Mayang Mall which only located around 800m fro the premise. Plenty of restaurants within walkable distance. If your room facing left side of the building, the scenery is amazing.
The cleanliness can be improved. No free disposable toothbrush provided but they supply head cap, bar soap and disposable small plastic which very awkward.
During check-in, even though we arrived at around 3.30pm,the room is still not ready and they negotiate to DOWNGRADE our room which very irritating to us. We demand to get what we booked and they comply.
The parking is provided but limited.
