Our Opinion
Superb service in an amazing atmosphere. Tanjong Jara is the perfect chill out resort but with loads to do if you so choose. Rains can affect the east coast from November to February but the temperature is always very warm, the rain comes down quick and goes away again plus you can often get a free upgrades in this period, so don’t rule it out!
