Update:
We had to change Bungalows half-way due to some last minute booking changes. So we also got to know the beach front bungalow.
Don’t bother!
It is supposed to be better but I can’t understand this. It is much smaller than the one we had before (right next door but second row from beach), much more noisy, less practical (shower / bath directly in/at bed room), you bump your head at the low doors or staircase (right above the fridge), A/C more noisy. What was disappointing is the maintenance state: doors (front, rear to garden shower) cannot be handled without waking everyone and the neighbors up - so no way to sneak out for the gym, we had ants in the bath and upstairs where they woke a guest in the night, batteries of A/C and emergency light were almost dead. Windows in the upper floor facing the beach and bar don’t close anymore. They have gaps you can put more than one finger through. You may guess what that does to noise from outside or A/C efficiency. Considering that Tandjung made good money before Covid, they had ample time to fix this before reopening.
Umbrellas at the beach could be larger, hard to fit two beds.
The restaurant is quite slow. We saw guests leaving because they weren’t serviced fast enough. Ourselves we skipped dessert because we didn’t want to wait another half hour … same is True for breakfast. It takes 15mins++ to get a scrambled egg or another of the 10 standard dishes on the menu.
But quality is good once it arrives …
All in all very nice setting with very friendly staff. But they have to watch out to keep fulfilling their own mission. Remember what made them great once - and what they are proud of.

Excellent hotel and restaurant right at the beach.
Very kind staff, very good food. Dinner menu with many choices - dinner for three with starter and drinks 200k.
Rooms (bungalows) close to the beach are roomy, clean, with quiet A/C. But be aware that walls are thin. We had no trouble with noises from the hotel but sometimes from dogs barking or birds singing - could be worse … ????
When walking along the beach (north) we saw that they started building a large cinema complex just 200-300m away and directly at the beach. The construction seems to have stopped - probably due to Covid, and I hope they will give up … may spoil some of the quietness on the beach.
