What guests think

At Lotus Desaru Beach Resort & Spa, guests praise the family-friendly, self-contained setup with spacious suites, multiple pools and an in-house water park, plentiful on-site dining, and generally friendly staff that make it easy to keep everyone entertained.

However, rooms and parts of the resort feel dated, and the location is somewhat remote without much within walking distance. Cleanliness and upkeep are inconsistent, with reports of missed housekeeping, bathroom drainage and air-conditioning issues, lift problems and limited accessibility, plus concerns about cloudy or dirty pool water and a less-than-pristine beachfront. Breakfast is frequently described as good value, but some guests reported food poisoning during their stays. Expect an amenity-rich stay suited to families, with notable compromises in age and consistency.

The experience was horrible!! On our 1st day there, on the way to the room, we took the lift which halted midway and when the doors opened, the lift was not levelling!! There were 6 adults and a baby in the lift at that time and we could have gotten injured. It’s quite clear that the maintenance is not done properly. There was another group who also experienced the same thing and pressed on the emergency button near the emergency phone but no one turned up!!! The lights along the pathway also did not turn on until after 7-8pm despite it being so dark and quiet. The shampoo container and bidet in the common bathroom were not properly secured and were loose. The common bathroom drainage also had issues, bath water did not go down and it kept choking. Breakfast was the only good thing about this place. I would definitely not go back to this place nor recommended it to my family and friends. For SGD300 a night, a much better experience was expected.

Everything from a retail outlet to several restaurants and a cafe with many activities to keep you busy in the property itself. Suitable for corporate events and family. The staffs are friendly, they try to keep the beach clean everyday. The water looks dirty, probably due to pollution by the ships. I wouldn't swim, but great for long beach walks.

On the whole, my family and I (10 of us altogether) enjoyed our stay because the resort’s plus points (e.g. the prompt and friendly front desk staff, the wide variety of activities on offer, and the prompt and efficient clearing of the tables in the restaurant despite the big crowds) outweighed its negative points which were as follows: - my granddaughters reported that there were some flies (or other insects) floating in the water of the waterpark pool. The water there also appeared dirty. The water in the pool near the gum was a lot cleaner. - my daughter told me she found a cockroach in her suite. - the food my daughter ordered-in was underwhelming.

@ Road signs--not clear enough to show direction of rooms or block. @ Shelter-during raining shelters are not link from block to block. @ Handicap-not convenient for Handicap. Paveway are not convenient for wheelchair bound especially raining time. Shelter pathways are not link. Halfway, need to move into open to reach next block. @ Lift-only designated blocks got lift. So need go to that block to go up to the floor & U-turn back to block where he/she is staying. Again for handicap, due to some blocks got no life is inconvenient. @Room-looks old. Housekeeping in rooms on bedsheet folding don't looks professional- not fully properly or fully folded.

The stay was pleasant. The staff was friendly. But I'm unsure if it was due to the festive season; the housekeeping missed cleaning our room the last day we were there. It was raining heavily those days, and we noticed water seeping from the walls. Otherwise, all is good. Value for money. I will still return again.

Good experience. The check in took longer than I liked but it's not too big a deal. The first lift was a bit confusing as we went to the wrong floor and had to take the stairs. Rooms were spacious and clean. Not the newest of conditions. Couple of aircons were not working perfectly. You had to manually open the louver as they remained shut even after turning the aircon on. Whenever my kids showered at the common bathroom, the water will flow out of the shower area and flood the floor of the bathroom, due to the odd placements of two gaps in the tiles. My eldest had to resort to blocking the gaps with her beach toys to stop the water from flowing out. Restaurants were nice. Food was good. Pricing was ok. Pretty much resort kinda pricing. Our family tried the seasports on our 3rd day there. Nice experience but felt a bit rushed by the crew. Perhaps they had to quickly turnover the equipments to cater for other guests. Overall, will I stay there again? Yes. Is it a place that I must visit again? No

The ambience was good, things happening at the lobby area and yet quiet at the apartment area. The staffs were polite and attended to your requests fast. I can see updates of some of the furniture in the apartment. We are also very happy to have engaged the transport service by the concierge, friendly, punctual, safe and clean vehicle. Just a suggestion, although it is generally clean -from bed to floor and toilet, however a little more attention to the dust in the apartment will be good. Also, it is a little disappointing that some of the activities listed by the resort is no longer available.

Pls check the elevator for block J . lift does not seem to work right about 9pm onwards. Everything besides that is all great. Food at Teratai cafe , lotus spices , seafood reatirant all amazing. Price of food is also cheapest among all other hotel in Desaru. I can honestly say, we really enjoy the food. BREAKFAST ,for RM 30 a person is seriously worth it.. Splash park was okay but for the childrens area , i find the play slides is a bit to steep. Also if the hotel is not so crowded, it will be best if we can be placed to a lower floor . Just sharing honest opinion. Overall we really enjoyed our stay. PS : my son calls the Lotus Desaru Resort as the Princess Peach Castle , Mushroom Kingdom . If can have some mari theme room , it will be really great. Will visit again in the future . Cheers team lotus !
