This is truly a nice sea side resort with all the amenities and activities for the family. The rooms are large, clean and in good working condition. Bedding and sheets are clean and comfortable. Buffet breakfast is a wide spread of mostly local food and restaurant Spices and Herbs served up good lamb shank. Overall, great for the family, good funal and lots of swimming and beach walks.

LARRY, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The best part of this property is the access to the beach. Its somewhat a private beach for the property itself. The breakfast layout was good, with Live egg & Roti-Pratha counter. The staff is very helpful & polite to converse with. Although an old property but with its rustic look it even gets better. Will positively stay again whenever we visit Desaru next.
