The staff, service, and facilities were absolutely excellent, making for a wonderful experience. However, we did encounter an issue with maintenance work during our stay. While we were still in our room, painting was being done outside, and unfortunately, the paint had not yet dried. As a result, our children accidentally touched it. We would appreciate better scheduling or precautionary measures in the future to avoid such situations

Having heard so much about TJR, booked an overnight stay enroute trip to Redang, to break our long journey. What was good: 1. How beautiful the whole property is and how well it has been maintained through the years. Not even kidding! 1. TJR 's best asset, it 's people. Each and everyone had a welcoming smile or a warm greeting. What could be better: 1. Front desk. Perhaps everyone else outdid their welcome as such that it overwhelmed the front desk who did try however seemed forced and scripted. This was the experience across the front desk. 2. Water dispenser @ beachfront could perhaps be reviewed. 3. Food @ Nelayan. We absolutely loved the sunset view, beach front table and mostly the impeccable service. Kudos team! If the quality of food could be improved (especially taste), it would be PERFECT. The above was just a feedback in kind to TJR management. If you are considering whether to stay: GO as it truly is a beautiful experience. The architecture and vibes, especially its PEOPLE. Be prepared to be surprised by the random crossing monitor lizard and the occasional peacock sqawk or strut within the grounds. It is special in the little things. Have breakfast outside and enjoy not only the delicious food but also the lush surrounding greenery whilst being served by, attentive Ms. Maz who is not only friendly but also knowledgeable, having served TJR since its debut. Book a beachfront table sunset dinner at Nelayan. Food is average whoever view and service is awesome. Everyone was outstanding. Terima kasih to En Aidil and special shoutout to En Hamdan who was very attuned and attended to our needs, offering assistance as it crossed out minds, this whilst serving other diners too. We left with smiles on our faces and in our hearts. Found pool area nice to lounge however pools seemed rather uninviting except of course to the kids, who love playing in water even if it was a puddle. Sometime in the late morning, be awed by the kompang entourage which apparently starts at the entrance, signaling the opening if the spa. GO for the experience. For those who plan to stay longer than a night, there is a schedule of activities prepared.
