My family stayed in the room with an upper floor room. It was really spacious and quite clean but the stairs in the room was oh so not child nor adult friendly. Stairs were slippery when wet, too close to the upper floor bed, sharp edges which scratched me, too narrow that I almost fell with my toddler in my... More

A very horrible experience. One of the unfortunate few who had the experience of staying in the hotel during a whole day blackout. It has happened 6 times in 3 years based on discussion with waiter. Tried to talk to the manager who was not around at that point to deal with customers but at electric room instead. No compensation... More

I went to Desaru with 4 other colleagues for a short weekend trip and we were completely happy with the room conditions. We booked a suite with two bedrooms that overlooked the beach. The room is spacious, though the living room is a bit cramped. The facilities are okay (if not run-down for some people) but since we didn't really... More

For the money, initial impressions were good. Check-in was fast despite a large crowd, the single suite was spacious and relatively clean. But once you have had a closer look, that's when you notice the stains on the bedsheets, the poor quality mini bath towels, the trail of ants and the friendly cockroach that decided to be our room mate....

At the outset the place does not look very impressive but over all this will meet your expectations and more. The rooms are well appointed and spacious. The location is great with its private beach and a little water park with a lazy river. The property is surprisingly well maintained and the staff is very attentive . The food was... More

Lotus Desaru is like an up-market chalet. Spacious, clean, and self contained (F&B and activities). Sports, gym, and swimming pools will keep everyone happy. Our kids love the "lazy river" and various slides (and even a hugh coconut). If you prefer outdoor, try beach activities or surrounding farms (fruit, firefly, ostrich) will provide additional entertainment for the family. When we... More
