Pros:

A great choice for a short stay in Desaru. Rooms are very comfortable and spacious with large bathrooms and balconies. Pool and beach areas are beautiful and relaxing. Good variety of food at breakfast, service in the restaurants and bars was friendly but often rather slow. Limited dining options on site and not much else in the area other than a few other hotels and the golf course.

Great service provided
Pros:

The room cleanliness and hotel service were excellent. However, the room aircon was not strong, managed to get the Technician to adjust for us.
If the room comes with complimentary minibar will be a bonus point (it is quite common for a luxury hotel).

Gorgeous property, warm hospitality
Pros:

Amazing 3D2N stay at this classy resort. Extremely hospitable and welcoming staff. Somewhat limited F&B choices but the quality of what was available was very high. Beautiful stretch of beach readily accessible from the hotel.
