Top 5-Star Hotels in Desaru

The hotel stay was delightful. The room is spacious with everything working perfectly. Breakfast is delicious with variety to choose from. Facilities within the hotel too was superb. With their creativity, they eventually made an outdoor gym using woods that they recycle and also beach swing which is the plus point. Credits to the hotel technician team for their hardwork to build it.

Had a very good staycation for 1 night here with my sister. Thank you to the team who arranged the cake and little decorations for my sister's birthday. Truly appreciated it 🙏. Check in& check out process was smooth. Breakfast was packed , luckily we did go around 8am. There are 2 things that disappointed us. 1)The bar at the lobby. We asked the staff if we could bring in outside food but we would like to order drinks from the bar. We know that outside food is not allowed but nothing wrong to ask. The staff informed us no but we saw there is a foreigner family who bought pizza hut sitting at the bar with family. 2) The smell of pillow cases and duvet. All 4 pillows and duvet had a sour smell that didn't fully dry. Overall was good , 7/10 👍

Beautiful rooms and resort! The infinity pool facing the sea was gorgeous! Our room and toilet were beautiful! The private pool was great but the water can be cold. It would be great if there could be a heater for the pool. There were a lot of insects (but it is understandable due to being surrounded by rainforest) so if you hate insects, do not stay in the rainforest room. We took the ocean room and it was already quite much lol. Our stay was AH-MAY-ZING. It was so private and luxurious. The staff were all very friendly and everyone showered our baby with so much love! We were deeply impressed and if you asked if we were ever going to stay there again, i would say “in a heartbeat!”. Thank you everyone for the amazing stay!

Need to drive there. Large resort with many rooms but not all occupied. Quite a few facilities but they obviously cannot handle if the occupancy rate is 50% or more. The ”water park” is a small playground, the pool there is quite dirty and obviously not cleaned for a long time. The other deeper pool was cleaner though. The retail shop was quite well stocked and not that expensive. Breakfast was mostly Asian food, good luck if u have food allergies. Seafood restaurant was not bad. The ”private beach” area is just a backdoor from the hotel, no demarcation, beach towels or beach chairs provided.

Reasonable price, good location near the beach, all rooms are facing the seaview & friendly staff, breakfast spread is quite good for the price. The facility is quite rundown, lack of maintenance - plants & landscape need to upkeep, turf with litters, aircon is very noise because air filter is choked with dust. Other nearby areas of interest are closed, Ostrich farm & Adventures park. If hotel wants to keep customers coming, they really have to take it seriously to upkeep the whole facility.

It seems to come down to management. I’m truly curious about the staff’s training because their professionalism is lacking. When we came in, the three ladies stayed seated “working on Facebook”, only after I tried to make eye contact did they look up. Later in our stay, a young man and woman in the resort uniforms cut in between our group going through a doorway. It was a little odd but I thought they might be other guests but then I saw they were employees. There seems to be no concern for respecting guests. I agree with the negative breakfast buffet feedback- yikes. It was a true waste of money when we could’ve done much better calling in our own food or preparing ourselves. The beach is dirty but quiet and that was nice for our young children.
