Enjoy this for a short stay with family and young toddlers.
Stated check in at 3pm but when we checked in, room already available, probably it was a Friday. Staff are friendly & polite, with good service. We booked without breakfast because keen to try the foods around but I believe the breakfast also worth it if book together just around RM60 more for 3 pax.
Gym is big with almost everything in it! They have pool for adults to play, but no entry below 16 year old.
The only minus points is the Dino Waterpark within the hotel requires additional payment at RM20 per pax for those above 3 year old. It is not expensive but we thought everything were inclusive.
Location wise really convenient as you can get almost everything downstairs - even the groceries in Lotus supermarket!
5-Star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely impeccable stay! This place is super brand new, spotless, and unbelievably classy from the moment you walk in.
Huge space with a big balcony overlooking the awesome sea view! It made us all smile waking up to it! The home is simple yet beautiful and immaculately clean down to every detail.
The toilet? Super classy and hotel-level luxe. In fact, one of our kids said, It’s like a classy hotel in a homestay!” and they were 100% right!
If you want space, style, and that five-star feel without the hotel price tag, BOOK THIS NOW! My family and I can’t wait to return and will definitely book this again, and check out all their 3- 4 bedrooms units!
Definitely a gem! Don’t miss it!

Mixed Experience – Good Service Recovery but Initial Handling Could Be Better
I recently stayed at Holiday Villa Johor Bahru City Centre and had a mixed experience.
For the first two nights, we suspected the room was not properly cleaned as both my husband and I experienced continuous sneezing throughout the stay. I reported this to the front desk after the first night, but no action was taken or escalated. Unfortunately, we had to endure a second uncomfortable night before I raised the issue again to the duty manager.
I must commend the duty manager for her prompt and decisive action — she arranged an immediate room change, which made a significant difference. This level of service recovery was appreciated. However, it is unclear why the initial concern was not escalated earlier by the front desk, which could have prevented unnecessary discomfort.
On a positive note, when I fell sick during the stay, the front desk staff were thoughtful enough to send porridge and warm water to my room — a kind gesture that I truly appreciated.
The hotel’s location is very convenient, and the breakfast selection varies daily, which is a plus. A special mention to the egg station staff — they were consistently friendly and attentive, handling every request with a smile even during busy periods.
Check-out was smooth and efficient.
Overall, while there were some lapses in initial handling, the service recovery and certain staff members’ efforts stood out.
Hotel is conveniently located right above Southkey Mall. With entrance directly into mall. The room with king bed still felt spacious enough for 2 pax and ceiling height made the room feel extra large. I personally prefer wood flooring but carpet might work for some. Bathroom towels were well used but clean. Sat breakfast was very busy so recommend a very early or late timing to avoid crowds. City view room was quiet and bright.Generally a comfortable and convenient stay.

Our go-to hotel whenever we are going KSL area.
Room is big and spacious. But same issue as all rooms I guess, living rooms and bedrooms are too dim. This particular unit we stayed in this time was much dimmer than our previous. And one of the toilet sink, water could not flow. We gotta use the powder room outside to wash up. Breakfast selection was a little less but not an issue.
Overall, still ok.
Overall the room is clean but dont expect the room is big. The only things surprised me is the breakfast , taste all is nice and more things to choose . If for short trip in JB , I will choose this hotel again because of price reasonable and service is good , staffs are all friendly.

A large 20-30 years old hotel building. Clean , very large guest room with city view on the high floor. Fast check in and friendly staff. Very good buffet breakfast. Good water pressure at the high floor bathroom.
None smoking rooms are available, but sometimesl smell of the smoking still coming from room ventilation.
Good room price. Will stay again if I come to Johor Baru.

Facilities: Relatively new. Parking is free, but you need to go to the front desk to swipe your TNG card every time you leave the car park.
Cleanliness: Very clean.
Environment: The hotel's interior is excellent. However, the area in front of the hotel feels a bit like a construction site, so be careful when walking.
Service: There's a young man at the front desk who speaks Chinese.
The breakfast buffet is top-notch, with an incredibly wide selection. My only regret is having just one stomach. There were so many local dishes I didn't even know how to combine them!

Quite terrible that a nearby club is too loud and can hear inside our room on a late night even it’s distant. can advise the club not to use speaker outside their establishment as its disturbing for all staying in the hotel.. and it affects the hotel’s good reputation..overall our stay is great! Except only for this noisy club as i can hear the bass even i cover my ears inside my hotel room

Place is so near the CIQ and near the mall (JB Central and KOMTAR JBCC) and many food place to eat at the 2nd and 1st Floor. They accomodated my request in high floor. Room is spacious and complete toiletries (lack of comb only😂 but neglegible). Breakfast can be improved the choices in western cuisine but the locals might enjoy the spread. OVerall we have enjoy our stay!

TTzeXuanOur stay at Sheraton Desaru Coast Resort was absolutely delightful. The hotel boasts a beautiful environment with a modern yet comfortable design. Our room was clean and spacious. While it's a bit of a walk from the beach, the price was truly a steal. The staff were friendly and professional, making us feel right at home. The breakfast selection was extensive and of good quality. Overall, the atmosphere was very relaxing, perfect for families or a short getaway.
GGuest UserIt was a fabulous short stay, the room was very spacious with a large bathroom too. There's lots of cupboard space for storage, bedding is great, soft duvet and pillows. The shower jet is strong, the walls and floor are very clean, the hotel just opened about half a year ago. Everything works. The location is far from the centre, no decent restaurants or shopping areas nearby unless taking a Grab or hotel shuttle to the city center. SKS shopping city attached to the hotel is known to be opening soon in May 2026. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is nice, with a large selection of very fresh food. The swimming pool is beautiful with lukewarm temperature even at evening.

MMyanleeI was quite surprised by this hotel. I booked a room for 4 adults, and it had two levels: upstairs there were two queen-sized beds, and downstairs there was also a single bed. The design was quite appealing. The only downside was that some items were showing some wear and tear.
AahshanStayed at Sand & Sandals Resort in Desaru and it was such a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The resort has a spacious, tropical vibe with big rooms, comfy beds, and a nice balcony to unwind. The pool area is great for chilling, and the beach is just a short walk away — perfect for morning strolls and golden hour photos.
Service was friendly, and the location made it easy to get around for food, activities, and day trips. It’s a solid choice if you want a fuss-free, beachside stay that feels calm and refreshing.
Overall, a pleasant resort for couples, families, or a girls’ trip getaway. 🌊💛

WWINNIE WSLIf you love the sea, beach vibes, and a relaxing atmosphere, this place is an ideal choice for a short escape and offers great value for money. The location is strategic and affordable, making it suitable for a small family looking for a staycation or a break from daily stress. While it may not compare to a five-star hotel, the rooms are clean and comfortable. Do note that during peak seasons, housekeeping services can be slower than usual, possibly due to limited staff. The facilities are decent, and it’s a pleasant surprise that they offer fun activities like ATV, horse riding, etc. along the beach.
One of the highlights is the beautiful sunrise—head to the balcony / beach early in the morning for the best spot, where you can enjoy a scenic view as the sun rises over the horizon.
DDini LeeChecking in at 5:00 PM was quick and hassle-free without the need for a queue number, but the staff were unfortunately unfriendly. There was no briefing regarding the resort’s facilities or perks, and no directions were given on how to get to the rooms or the swimming pool. When I asked questions, they seemed rushed and reluctant to answer.
I requested a baby cot to be sent directly to the room, and fortunately, it arrived. However, I wasn't informed about the Splash Park. I only found out through a Google search that there was a second pool at Block A. The beach area was mediocre and not very appealing. Breakfast was also average with limited variety. The only highlight of this stay was the Splash Park. Overall, the staff were not welcoming at all.
EElenalowSuch a beautiful places for ideal short vacation. Strongly recommended hotel if you visiting Desaru. All the staff very friendly and helpful. Good to be here and they help us decorate the room and free us a birthday cake as well.
