Stayed for one night. Arrive late at night. Parking is pretty far, full of mud due to rain and poorly lit. Room was average. When I arrived, the lift was under maintenence. Could be used to go up but need to use the stairs to go down. Definitely could be improved.

Good for short getaway. Room is spacious and the bed is comfy. Best thing about this hotel that all rooms have both sea and pool view. Swimming pool is big enough. Breakfast should be improved as it have same menu two days in a row during my stay and my last visit last year.

Location of property is good, but overall no value for Money, hotel looks very old and not kept well. No facilities for kids like playground, water sprts etc. No good restaurant at this property, breakfast was not worth at all. Overall I do not see value for Money staying here.

The rooms are clean, comfortable and spacious. We booked 2 family rooms and 1 twin room and 1 of the family room is connected to the twin room which is great. For the price paid, it is value for money. One area that can be improved on is the breakfast which some food items are placed outdoors which tend to attract flies. Will suggest to include milo as a breakfast hot drink option noting that the resort has many families with kids.

Tunamaya doesn’t fall in the high end group of resorts but it sufficed. We were mostly outside doing activities like fruit farms, firefly sightseeing and ATV rides. The view and proximity to the beach is wonderful and convenient. The food at the cafe and Nelayan restaurant was first-rate. Proximity to Wood-fire restaurant is definitely a plus when my kids crave for fast-food. The front office staff were friendly and nice. Areas to improve in: 1. Was made to wait till 3 pm before we can check-in, we came in the early morning ferry (only one ferry timing in a day). But they let us check in our bags. Next time, will drop the bags and start heading out. 2. Buffet was first-come, first-serve. Limited space in the dining area. We had no choice but to sit outside at the non-air-con area. Fans were too few and the sun shone in, it got unbearably hot. 3. Would be great if they could arrange for car rentals. We took grab/taxi everywhere we went. Overall, desaru offered a good getaway destination if you want to miss the queues at the causeway. Apart from the minor inconveniences, I enjoyed my family time at TunaMaya.
