Lotus Desaru Beach Resort & Spa

nice trip with family

Amazing place to be

Everything was ok except the bbq pit was expensive. We don't know we must book the pit at the coffee house as there are no signage. But when we bbq halfway, then the security came over said we must book the pit. When i went over to book, then i was shocked the bbq pit was more expensive than the room, but the package came with 1 ice cube box with ice cube, few soda drinks and mineral water and Chilli source.

Resort is big and an old, it has quite a lot of facilities but are slightly worn out. No slippers and combs were provided for the room, which was a bummer. The duvet covers had some stains but we were able to called housekeeping to change them. Service was good as staff were friendly and prompt. For the price, I think it’s good value.

It was our first time staying in Lotus Desaru. Check in process was simple and fuss free. The room is generally clean and tidy, however as the resort has been around for quite some time, don’t expect it to be super clean and modern. We booked a 1 bedroom suite with the bedroom on the second floor. The first floor living area has working air conditioner. However the bedroom air conditioner was not working and was only blowing out air. We only found out about it at night before going to bed as we were out the whole day. We decided not to inform the reception about it as we were only staying for 1 night. There were standing fans provided and we used it so our sleep was still alright. The kids had fun at the in-house Splash Park/Swimming Pool. However, the water playground had rusts all over and I don’t find it as hygienic as kids might accidentally drink the pool water that have rust in it. There is a fun fair with carnival games at night near the restaurants. It was fun for the kids as the staff were very friendly and kind. We had a lot of fun there. Overall the place is good for family and kids. Lots to do within the resort itself with a direct access to the beach and beach activities. Recommended for those who wish to enjoy without breaking the bank.

Reasonable stay if you are not fussy about the room and breakfast. Have all the basic amenities for your stay there.
