We had no idea what to expect as we booked last minute without doing any research nor looking at pictures. Also the name, One & Only Desaru, is somewhat non-descript, it doesn't evoke much... This is a 5-star resort, an oasis secluded from the world, large luxurious villas, private beaches and all -- and also, I guess, from paparazzis! That kind of a place. Top, top, top. Will return for sure.

We stayed two nights at One&Only Desaru Coast with our baby. The resort anticipated all our needs with a cot, changing table, sterilizer and bottle warmer. The room and food were impeccable. However, we were rather disappointed by the patchy service during breakfast. For two mornings, we had our orders forgotten. For the first morning’s order we had to ask twice before we were served. In the second breakfast our ordered dishes didn’t even come, and we gave up asking. Simple requests like baby cutlery and tissue paper took 10 minutes to arrive. For all the great service elsewhere in the resort, the breakfast service was just simply not up to standards for a resort of this calibre. All in all it could have been a perfect experience if not for the frustrating experience at breakfast.

Great property - great people

Amazing property with some fantastic people and overall very good service. The engaged and present management team does a great job helping people grow, where necessary. Both restaurants are good, delivering on service, food and ambience. Personally I would like to see Hoshi deliver “a bit more”, move from good to outstanding, also to match the price tag. Looking forward to seeing the development over time.

Beautiful new property in Desaru. Villas are mind blowing and truly move the game to the highest level in the luxury hotel segment in Malaysia. Hotel main pool is amazing, as are the lawns and landscaping. Wonderful staff, food and service in the middle of a rainforest-like setting. Cons- Still very new, expect some hiccoughs in service, lousy beach (really bad with a lot of rocks in low tide) not suitable for the very old and most of all, it’s an expensive place to stay-in. All said, a wonderful resort that’s certainly worth visiting.

For one of the most expensive resort in Desaru, everything should be ready even with no reservations. High tea at 3-5pm and when I requested for high tea at 4:45pm the server rejected the request saying they have finished serving high tea. Quite a shame for a luxury hotel. Been to others luxurious resorts and never get this kind of request turned down.

全体的にとても良かったです。とても静かで、大人のリゾートホテルな感じでした。スタッフの方々も私達の姿を見ると声をかけて下さり、そう言う点もとても良かったです。ただ、一つ残念なことがありました。それは、朝のビュッフェにて、野菜（サラダ類）が全くなかったことです。これさえあれば満点だったと思います。

Ein Ort zum Geniessen

Top Hotel an sehr schöner Location. Grosser Sandstrand aber steinig in Küstennähe. Die Zimmer mit kleinem privaten Pool sind super. Morgenessen mit grosser Auswahl und top Qualität. Abendessen mit limitierter Auswahl und auf der teureren Seite. Aber der Küchenchef ist offen für individuelle Wünsche. Wer Privacy geniessen will ist hier am richtigen Ort. Zusätzlich gibt es zwei schöne Golfplätze in der Nähe.

Had a memorable 3D2N stay with my family in One&Only. The room is well equipped with everything you would need for a perfect staycation; a spacious bathroom, bath bomb for a relaxing soaking, tea in a variety choices and Nespresso coffee machine. Balcony with a long couch is a plus for family chilling session. A short walking to the private beach where you could enjoy the sunrise. The Resort Manager, Mr Rahman is attentive and graceful in accepting feedback. Definitely will come back for another stay.

Overall a great stay and experience.

The resort is nice but the food at the hotel is overpriced for example a plate of chicken rice will cost you about RM115. Overall the experience is nice and the staff were very friendly and helpful. In addition, the sports club facilities ie tennis and other varieties of sports are excellent. But during this monsoon period ie in December, there’s nothing much you can do at the beach. So try to avoid this period if you can.
