The welcome drink the ginger honey + local keropok lekorI've always wanted to stay here, ever since I read the write up in one of my mum's magazines years back. I didnt know where exactly the place is, until last year we went back for Raya and hubby decided to drive through Terengganu to avoid heavy traffic and I saw the sign-board "The Aryani" so this time around since we were looking for place to stop by on our way back to KL, I decided to book the room here.
my review :
the resort setting is nice..I bet when they first started, it meant to be quite exclusive, they even won the best beach resort in 2007 from the Expatriate Lifestyle magazine.
But sadly, 3 years later, the place is no longer in its best condition, it's a bit run down now. But the location wise is nice and quiet, you have to drive 1.5 KM further in from the main road. The room is huge and the setting especially the malay architecture is very tasteful:) with the chalet facing the beach and secluded location, it's a place for honeymooners. I just wished I came here a bit sooner so that I can experienced the exclusiveness before their fund running low. Very limited staff here, but they are all very friendly.
Definitely you need to have a deeper pocket to run an exclusive resort like this, I wish YTL would buy over and turn the place to where it used to be.
At first I wanted to book the spa, but looking at the limited staff they have, I called it off to avoid disappointment.
Overall, i would say, if you are looking for a place to relax, you can consider this place especially if you happened to pass by this area, it is quite far from KL, 30 KM from Kuala Terengganu. The breakfast served here is very limited and not worth paying esp for kids, but you can drive out to get local food plus the place is famous for their keropok lekor. They charged RM12.50 for kids 5yrs and above, RM25 for adults but the room rates inclusive of 2 breakfast for adults.
Anyway, just sharing some photos, in case you peeps interested you can visit their website http://www.thearyani.com/

Zarin : beb, haa find a time to stop soon, I think lagi lama lagi tak terjaga:)
Erma : ths place belongs to Raja Bahrain, remember case dia bwk lari the daughter and son from his australian wife, he's an architect so he designed ths place..in terms of the design mmg cantik.
ICA : yess beb..habis pantang dah ke? blm kab? definitely nice to relax kan?
I've never been to Tg Jara, definitely in my list perhaps soon, that one definitely nice belongs to YTL kan?
