Traditional stay in Terengganu~
Hello pixies. Okay, another small luxury hotel that we have been a frequent to is Tanjong Jara Resort in Dungun. A place that we can call our yearly retreat after Mangala . This, too, is as peaceful and calm and tranquil as the latter but has a lot more activities for you to do and enjoy the stay~ This one will you bring you back to the vibe of our classic and traditional Malay heritage and if you wanna have a traditional themed photoshoot, this will be it! <(˶ᵔᵕᵔ˶)>
+ WHERE: Tanjong Jara
+ HOW LONG: 4 days 3 nights
+ PRICE RANGE: $$$ - $$$$
+ THE ROOMS: Serambi Room (second time was interconnected so it was better as we can easily access to our parent’s room to have a movie night together)
I can say we prefer this one better than Mangala for its activities which offers a variety of it from tennis, turtle release, beach strolling, hiking, batik painting, village touring and trust me a lot more which they’ll give a brochure of the activities when you check-in. The activities changed from stay to stay so far I’ve been there~
But if you want to have more time in pool, then it’s better Mangala yeah. Both have cons and pros as usual so pick by what you wanna do more before you choose! So, happy holiday and hope you enjoy your stay like I do~ oh, Tanjong Jara is like a mixed of the place I stayed in Ubud and Mangala~ (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

Ramai yang tanya, berbaloi tak pergi Tanjung Jara Resort untuk cuti panjang atau short getaway? Aku cerita lebih detail sikit based on beberapa kali aku stay sana, so senang untuk korang decide. Lokasi dia dekat Dungun, Terengganu, tepi pantai yang memang sunyi dan tenang. First impression masa sampai, staff akan bagi welcome secara tradisional, siap ada bunyi gong untuk setiap family masa check-in dan bunyi tiga kali masa check-out. Small detail macam ni yang buat pengalaman tu rasa unik dan berbeza daripada hotel biasa. Bilik Serambi memang jadi pilihan aku. Setup asal bilik tu selesa untuk dua orang, tapi yang best ialah sofa yang boleh ditukar jadi tempat tidur / bed makeover, jadi senang kalau datang dengan family kecil. Dalam bilik, aku perasan mereka betul-betul jaga elemen tradisional – contohnya mereka guna traditional door knob/lock untuk cabinet. Benda kecil macam ni buat suasana rasa macam rumah Melayu klasik tapi still ada rasa luxury. Untuk yang suka aktiviti, Tanjung Jara Resort memang menang. Selain beach strolling dan swimming, ada tennis court, hiking, batik painting, village tour dan kadang-kadang program turtle release ikut musim. Setiap kali aku datang, aktiviti dalam brochure tu berubah sikit, so tak rasa bosan walaupun repeat stay. Kalau jenis suka explore budaya, batik painting dan village tour memang wajib cuba. Dari segi suasana, aku rasa Tanjung Jara ni kombinasi vibe Ubud (nature, zen) dengan Mangala (private retreat). Bezanya, kat sini kau boleh dapat lebih banyak masa outdoor sambil still enjoy bilik yang selesa. Kalau korang jenis suka duduk pool je sepanjang hari, mungkin Mangala lebih sesuai, tapi kalau nak cuti yang seimbang antara relax dan aktiviti, Tanjung Jara Resort memang kena dengan cita rasa aku. Tips aku: pilih bilik interconnected kalau datang dengan parents atau siblings, senang buat movie night sama-sama. Kalau plan photoshoot, bawa baju tradisional – kebaya, baju kurung, atau songket – sebab latar belakang resort ni memang on point untuk tema heritage. Secara keseluruhan, Tanjung Jara Resort ni aku consider sebagai resting place yang boleh diubah ikut gaya cuti korang: sama ada betul-betul nak rehat, atau nak penuhkan itinerary dengan aktiviti. Setiap kali check-out, rasa macam tak cukup masa, dan itu tanda resort tu memang worth untuk repeat stay.
