With the price paid, It's good enough for me and family enjoy short break. The breakfast is simple but have some vareirty too (where i thought a very super simple bfast with no choices). Beach is just walking distance. The pool for kids is just simple pools, cause we we're explore desaru so we didnt managed to dip in the pool. room was clean and room service change the linen and towel every day on our stay. All staff here is so friendly and helpful.
only the pool but i am not complaining because i didnt use it since we explore desaru.

the location is close to the beach and room is clean
the front desk lady tried to cheat our deposit. Yet if it’s a mistake, she doesn’t apologise and try to challenge the customer instead of being friendly.

- My kids enjoy swimming & playing slide at the swimming pool. - The security guard at the swimming pool are really friendly. - The location is strategic. Easy to find breakfast, lunch & dinner. The BASA restaurant at the Kampung Nelayan serve delicious food!
- Lack of cleanliness. The swimming pool need to be clean because the water seems to be cloudy. - The building need some renovation & new paint to make it look more presentable.

the room was okay, clean, net and comfy. Surprisingly the food at the reastaurant was really nice. as well as the other facility like swimming pool, with beach view at the back. i love it.
when we were to check out at the morning like at 830 am, there were few fierce monkey about to attack us near the car. and they climbed on the car leaving dirty spot. maybe you can find the alternative to chase the agressive monkeys before they act even worse.

The breakfast is worth the penny, location also good , we did watch sunrise in the morning (very nice !!!) During Check in and check out we enjoyed the smooth process. The bed also so comfy 🥰🥰
Not so clean swimming pool (around the slide built in), Villa's toilet not crystal clean but all functioning well. Mirror at Villa toilet also need improvement. No mirror except in the toilet.

Value for money. A place to sleep over at desaru
Limited parking lots for motorcycle. Can't park my motorcycle behind my room block even when there are ample empty car parking lots. Not flexible in this situation. Had to walk all the way to the lobby side to take something from my motorcycle.

Peaceful and quiet location. Directly facing the beach. All the hotel staff were friendly and approachable. Private parking space is available with security guard.
Motorcycle lot is a bit far compare to car parking lot. Car lot is directly beside the hotel but motorbike lot is at the entrance security post so when its rain, 100% u will get wet.

Breakfast quite adequate; little bit of more variety needed. Beside a very pretty but stony beach however, fantastic pool attached to hotel. The upstairs bedroom (freshly renovated and very clean),would benefit from one chair.
The room numbering is confusing. Signs at beach end but no signs at carpark end - rather odd.
