Poorly maintained
Reviewed By Muendo_ggmuStayed here in April at the Royal suite with another family. Hotel is very poorly maintained for the price you pay. Pool swim up bar is not in use but hasn’t been cleaned in very long. Breakfast is poor too. It has a lot of potential but work needs to be done to bring it back up to its old days.

Nice place and large rooms but definitely can be improved.
Reviewed By WintermommyNice place and large rooms but needs improvement. in cleanliness and service. My family used to come here many times before but it has lost it’s shine. Staff is courteous and try to help but very undertrained and they make no effort to speak English even to foreigners who cannot understand Malay language. Staff gave me umbrella to go the gym- which path was unsheltered that had stuff growing on it and had a hole- one of the wires were broken. The common areas esp where there are staircases going to the pools needs cleaning… even the corners just outside the room doors… cobwebs aplenty. If they clean it up- it will definitely be worth going back.

Family beach residence
Reviewed By ChoonfongWe booked a family unit with 2 double beds and a balcony. The bathroom has no hangers for clothings but hair-shampoo and body lotion are provided. Hair-dryer, iron, fridge and tea/coffee facilities, are provided. Could improve lounge housekeeping and lift cleanliness. There a few pools within the 5 blocks for residents and a beach with grey sand for beach-lovers. This place is better known as Tiara Desaru Seaview Residence.

Tiara Desaru is located in the heart of Desaru, a thriving hub with expatriates.

Not worth at all
Reviewed By zenlee_studio_Very bad and not worth it. I paid RM1400 to rent a family unit for 3 days and 2 nights for 2 adults and 2 children. Found out not worth the price at all. ?Because the room is old and even supernatural events occur (ghost ?); ?Poor service at reception; ?all receptionists did not wear masks during the epidemic; ?check-in was too slow; ?signal within the hotel was very poor; ?swimming pool was not guarded by lifeguards; ?breakfast food was not well prepared (9am food almost finish). There are definitely other better hotels for this price. Really not recommended for this hotel.

Relaxing stay with excellent service and great food
Reviewed By Barnali0411We had walked in because we did not like the previous hotel we had booked. Stayed from 3-5 June 2022 Rooms We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite with 2 balconies and a living room sofa, dining, fridge, microwave, 2 toilets. Rooms had lots of light Service Since the moment we stepped in the lobby service was excellent. A person waiting at the lobby listened to our requirements and offered a walk-in rate (book earlier for better rates) Housekeeping came in to help immediately when ever we needed any assistance. We needed some help with AC remote, required a couple laundry bags and also room needed some cleaning. At one point a family member needed to connect to his PC and there was internet connection problem. The IT personnel gave us a visit in the room and did the trouble shooting. Received personalised attention from the Resort Manager Mr Vijayanathan, a very warm gentleman who on the first evening helped us select the meal Food We spent the 3 days eating at the hotel’s restaurants. The seafood restaurant is excellent. Their tom yam, butter prawn, lobster, Tiga-rasa grouper, garlic bean, broccolli scallop were very good. Drinks were good too. fresh coconut that we had on the beach chair, mai tai, shandy, pina-colada were excellent. Fruit juice towers looked an excellent option for young children although we did not order fruit juice. Breakfast was mainly traditional Malaysian. They did have cornflake, oatmeal fruits and breads. But off-the-griddle roti canai, fresh eggs, nasi lemak, mee, chicken, teh tarik were not missable. There were other restaurants as well. Korean, Indian, Cafe. We did try some cakes. Was not that great though Amenities An excellent place for young and old. It had a private beach with beach chairs on the embankment. We enjoyed the morning sun rise and fabulous view of the deep blue sea in the afternoon sitting on the beach chairs, sipping fresh coconut. Later when the sun went down, played some in the seawater They offered various sea sports activities , jet ski, para-sailing, banana boat. We did the family boat ride that accommodates 5 people at one go. There were many water activities for young children and we saw them thoroughly enjoying. We took some laps in the lap pool There was a big retail shops that sold different choice of items including some mementos. there were some smaller shops also The resort had so many other entertainment - archery, games arcade, bird watching karaoke etc We did spend some time at the gym and spa In the evening, the central field became live with other activities. There were dances, bubble blowing and movie screening with a projector with plastic seats on the grass for people to sit. They really thought through Crowd Management We went to Desaru dreading how crowded it might be during school holiday season. It was crowded. A big thumbs Up to them for excellent crowd management. The queue ticket system for checkin and check out, the extra large breakfast area, toilets and taps dotted around.

Paradise found
Reviewed By PenandforkinhandJust a 2.5 hour drive from Singapore, this is one of the finest resorts we've stayed at anywhere in Asia. The accommodation is beautiful, gently and sustainably luxurious. The setting is breathtaking, for picture-perfect sunrises over the sea to star-filled nights looking up from the cabana in the villa. We loved the blissful spa with its ancient banyan trees, the fabulous beach club with seafood from the grill, impeccable Japanese - and cocktails overlooking one of the most striking pool settings anywhere. We cannot wait to return.
