Extremely old and rundown resort! Many things are spoilt in the room and TV is not working. Reported to them on the first day and only sent technician to fix on the 2nd day night. Most of the times nobody pick up the phone when you called for service from the room. They employed foreign workers at the hotel reception who can't speak and understand English well, have hard time to communicate. The resort was flooded after rain and have to walk with barefoot as your feet and shoe will be soaked in water. They only give 1 small tube of shower gel and shampoo for one day. We have to buy it from outside. Terrible experience and don't recommend anyone to stay in this property if you want an enjoyable holiday in Desaru!

We waited 3hrs to check in. Poor customer service. Upon checking in, extra bed was not ready (charged at RM130 prpn), room was dusty, lots of sand on the floor, the bed linens and towels got dirty stain marks. The rattan swing chair tumble down when my sister sat on it. Only to find out the base stand was not even and the screw was missing. Duty manager Koko was informed, however he did not turn up, no phone calls were made to check or ask if any medical assistance is needed during the fall. On the last night of our stay, I bump with Koko and ask him why he did not turn up when he received the feedback, he replied high occupancy and he was attending to other guest. We were informed by one of their staff that they have less than 15 manpower doing housekeeping managing 300rooms. So late check in is expected.

Service is quite lacking, property is quite rundown and poorly maintained. There was a weird smell in our room. Only good thing that happened to us was a free upgrade to a couple duplex suite and the Nasi Lemak served at breakfast. If not this would be a 2 star review.

Cons Property is rundown Staff overworked and the place is extremely crowded if not full There is an automatic air freshener installed in the room which will automatically dispense the air freshener every 15 to 20 mins - pray that you like the scent Pros Room is big though *Relatively* cheap Front desk staff is friendly and helpful Issues Fittings are rusty - feel free to inspect the outdoor bathtub and the mixer Moldy fittings - Faat mou Water heater and aircon not working when I checked into the room, it was fixed after multiple calls to the front desk. Electricity went out in the middle of the night, woke up sweating in a pitch black room - something I earnestly hope I will never experience ever again. The Pillow case in my room has a peculiar stale odor (smells like the typical smell one gets when the clothes are not fully dry stale coconut oil) - not a smell that I would want to rest my face on. Called the front desk but it was not changed until the next day (during housekeeping) Lesson learnt, never skim on accommodation if one is intending to visit a resort, there's a reason why certain other resorts are charging triple or even quadruple the price and still managed to sell out. I am of the opinion that this resort caters more to domestic tourists. Overall 1 star for me, in all honesty your experience will likely differ but I suggest giving this property a miss unless you would like to experience the issues I stated above. Good luck~

Great place for a short retreat however the place could use some upgrade and a bit more elderly friendly like install bathroom / toilet handle bars and improve overall facade and facilities of the property. It sure could use a new paint job. The Airconditioning was very noisy at night and maintenance told us they need to change parts, so was a bit uncomfortable sleeping (due to noise)
