THIS BEING MY THIRD TRIP TO TG RHU. THE PRIVACY AND QUIETNESS - BEST THING ABOUT THE RESORT. STAFF ARE VERY COURTEOUS AND HELPFUL. TOOK THE FAMIY SUITE WHICH COULD ACCOMODATE THE 4 OF US COMFORTABLY. IF THERE IS ANYTHING, I FEEL THE ROOMS NEED A LITTLE REFURBISHMENT AS THEY LOOKED AGED.

This is Kedah boonies. Lovely, but... basic. The image above is of some outcrop rocks which, with islands, are visitable by tour boat. Bear in mind a lot of the area is anyway national protected forests. The views and beaches are lovely but sanitation makes swimming questionable. Maybe better up the 4* hotel end if the currents are favourable. Not a huge amount to do but that is part of the charm. Of course plenty of tour$ around if not seeking quiet. We got our wildlife fixes just walking from our hut along the beach SW or along the road to the town, which is admittedly single horse at best. But has its charm. A few street restaurants serving muslim/Thai food and prata. Plus a couple of stores. If Chinese, possibly with beer in the fridge. Car rental looks around 60M$ a day which is not bad, but caveat emptor. Or scooters, but caveat insurance disclaimers. The drivers there seem pretty chill though. Hard to see it as the best for teens, but kids may like it if there's a pool. Lots of wildlife, often noisy, everywhere. Monitor lizards, toucans...

Staff were laid back and did not respond quickly to our requests.If a safe is opened by your technician he should remove the contents and bring it to reception to verify who it belongs to. He cannot assume that it belongs to the present client as it could belong to the previous client as was the case with my friends stolen bag with passports and cash.This is unacceptable for a resort which claims it is 5 star.Stay away from Tanjung rhu.

When I first arrived, I freaked out by the lack of any shops/activity nearby, choice of restaurants etc. By day 2, I LOVED the serenity of the place. There was one restaurant 50 metres away, where I ate every night for a few dollars, opens at 4pm. wo coffee shops, that also served snacks, and a general store about 10 mins walk away. I had a beach to myself for my entire stay! Staying at Red Coral was like being at a retreat. Very comfortable, and very clean basic rooms, hot water shower, great aircon, kettle, fridge. Friendly and helpful staff. I can't wait to return. If you are party person, this is probably NOT the place for you! Get around by using Grab app ... so cheap!

The beach is gorgeous, but we didn't swim in the ocean because of the concern for jellyfish stings. Beach is quite isolated from the rest of the island for most activities, although the mangrove tours launch from the beach, which is very convenient. I wouldn't recommend staying on Tanjung Rhu because of it being far away from other things on the island (30 minutes drive or so), especially with kids.

The views in front of the swimming pool are awesome! We had 2 dinners at the restaurant but I must say choices were very limited. We have been given complimentary airport transfers both ways. A big thank you to Tanjung Rhu!
