Tiara Desaru C202 (5 PAX ONLY) by UcomeStay

"The staying experience and cleanliness were good. However, I was unable to connect to the WiFi throughout my stay. I contacted the person in charge, but they were unable to provide a timely solution. Due to the lack of internet connectivity, I missed important information related to my class. By the time my class ended, the person in charge only replied that we had tried but still unable to resolve the WiFi issue till we check out time. Inside the room, my Maxis also no connection, unable to use hotspot at all."

Amerald Resort Hotel Desaru ★★★

"I had a very pleasent stay at this hotel. Eventhough there were furniture in the room that looks old but overall the room was spacious and nice. With the price i pay i can say this is the place for 1 night staycation out of the busy JB town. The view from the room really clear your mind and breathtaking during sunrise. Only need to improve on breakfast selection"

Lakeview Terrace Resort Pengerang ★★★

"You can refer to the photo and imagine the condition yourself. When we first entered the room, there was a very strong naphthalene (mothball) smell, commonly used to repel cockroaches. We had to open the window and door to clear the smell, but keep in mind there are many mosquitoes outside. The room really needs refurbishment. There is a small swimming pool and a gym room next to the reception, as well as a small game area. Overall, the environment is acceptable, but the room itself is really unacceptable."

Fives Hotel Desaru ★★★

"Pros: The location is excellent, with plenty of halal dining options nearby and a small shopping mall just a few minutes’ walk away. The hotel is conveniently located about 25 minutes from the Mini Zoo and only 10 minutes from Desaru Beach. The room rates are affordable, and we were pleasantly surprised to receive a connecting room, which we greatly appreciated. The room was also clean and comfortable. Cons: One major inconvenience was that the refrigerator automatically switched off whenever we left the room. After spending a long, hot day outdoors, it was disappointing to return and find our drinks no longer cold. On our first night, we requested an extra towel and toothbrush set since there were three guests in the room. Unfortunately, the items were not delivered, even after we followed up at the front desk. There was also no floor mat provided. Thankfully, our experience improved the next day thanks to Zamre at the front desk. He was friendly, helpful, and made sure we received everything we needed. He also ensured our room was ready by 1 PM. Zamre’s excellent service truly stood out and made a positive difference to our stay. He is probably the main reason we would choose to return to Fives Desaru on our next visit. Overall, the hotel offers good value for money, and with improvements in housekeeping responsiveness, the experience would be even better."
