TANJUNG JARA RESORT AT NIGHT! ARRIVED AT TANJUNG JARA RESORT AT 7 PM AND CONFIRMED IT IS THE BEST HOTEL ON THE EAST COAST OF PENINSULAR MALAYSIA!

KEE@FSWMAG.COM
TANJUNG JARA RESORT AT 8 MILE, OFF JALAN DUNGUN, DUNGUN IN TRENGGANU IS A JEWEL AND ITS MANY FACETS SHINE BRIGHT DAY, TWILIGHT AND NIGHT!

AT RM 420++ PER NIGHT, IT IS NOT THE CHEAPEST BUT THE BEST! 

IT WAS CLOSED FOR 4 MONTHS DURING THE ANNUAL MONSOON SEASON AND UNDERWENT ANOTHER REFURBISHMENT AND REOPENED ON 13 FEBRUARY 2015 IN TIME FOR VALENTINE LOVERS!

TANJUNG JARA RESORT WAS FULLY BOOKED TO THE RAFTERS DURING THE CHINKY NEW YEAR SEASON AND I ONLY MANAGED TO GET A ROOM ON 23 FEBRUARY 2015! IT IS SO FAMOUS AND ESTABLISHED MOST REFER TO IT SIMPLY A S'TANJUNG JARA' AND OMIT THE WORD 'RESORT'! 

HOWEVER AS YOU DRIVE IN FOR THE FIRST TIME, YOU MIGHT BE SHOCKED TO YOUR BONE MARROW AS TANJUNG JARA LOOKS CHEAP, TACKY AND LOW CLASS! I WAS SHOCKED I ALMOST FAINTED AND WAS ABOUT TO TURN BACK AND RETURN TO KUALA LUMPUR TO SUE TANJUNG JARA FOR FALSE ADVERTISING WHEN I NOTICED THE BIG SIGNBOARD READ 'TANJUNG JARA MOTEL' AND NOT 'TANJUNG JARA RESORT'!

I LOOKED AHEAD FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD AND FINALLY SAW THE REAL, WORLD CLASS AND BEAUTIFUL RETREAT THAT IS TANJUNG JARA RESORT!
