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.
