My friends and i booked the 3 bedroom suite. We are very happy with what we got. The buffet breakfast was alright. Waterpark was a very disappointing.The park is more suitable for kids. However,the beach water sports are better, just a bit higher priced. Kota tinggi waterfalls, seafood at sg renggit at jade garden was awesome. Very important: Car is... More

We went over April Public holiday with friends. For what we were looking for the accomodation was fine. It was clean enough and cheap. This place would be fine is you brought your own food in as self catering as it has BBQ pits. However I would not recommend eating in the main resturant. It is AWFUL. The food was... More

We bought the vouchers for S$188 for 2 nights stay at the Malaysian Travel Fair last year. Tip for Singapore drivers on GPS which does not feature updated maps. There is a new highway; E22 which cuts through to the resort saving you at least 30 minutes on much smoother roads compared to the other routes. Check Google Maps for... More

Just stayed one night for a work trip. Was a weekday so the resort was quiet. Check in was quick - no issues. The resort is large and gives the impression of being a family friendly vacation getaway. There are notices of activities posted everywhere and the resort has adequate pool & beach facilities and activities. The room I was... More

Another bedroom was a queen bed with no attached bathroom and the last was a twin room with attached but shared bathroom i.e. there are... More

Stayed at this resort for 3D/2N from 29th April- 1st of May. A 1 1/2 hour ride from Johor. The room is nice and clean, loft model. The staff are very accomodating (especially the Filipinos). We got the full board package, free breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food was great too, I ate more desserts than the meal itself. The... More

I just came back from Desaru yesterday and i'd say it's a good place for a short getaway. The hotel was good, it was clean overall. However, our room telephone was not in working condition and the shower tap was also faulty. The hotel is quite near to the beach, within 5 mins walking distance. The beach was nice, filled... More

As we visited the resort during the Easter weekend, it was relatively crowded during check in and we queued for at least 45 mins before we were attended to. When we reached our suites, housekeepers were still cleaning up the one-bedroom suite; they left the room upon seeing us, with the floor wet from mopping and rubbish left by previous... More
