I had a delightful stay at this hotel, as the location is fantastic and super convenient, right next to the water park and just a short walk to the beach. The rooms are nice, but they could use a bit of a refresh as there was an odd smell. On the bright side, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Dining could be improved since we experienced some cold food, which was a letdown when ordering. Overall, it offers good value for money despite a few hiccups.

I had a great short stay at this hotel, enjoying the spacious and clean accommodations that were perfect for my family of four. The staff was friendly, but I felt the service could use a bit more training, especially for a 5-star establishment. The location, while nestled near a water park, was quite far from the beach and lacked attractions within walking distance. Additionally, the dining experience fell short after an initially excellent breakfast, which was disappointing considering the price.

I recently stayed at this hotel and overall had a decent experience. The location is a bit remote but has its perks, especially being close to a water park. The rooms were mostly comfortable, but we did encounter a few issues with noise from a live band. The service could use some improvement, as some staff seemed less friendly. While the dining options were varied, waiting times were frustrating. It’s not ideal for those looking for a completely peaceful stay.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, which is perfectly located on a hill, making it ideal for those wanting to visit the nearby water park and beach. The staff were absolutely friendly and welcoming, which made my experience even better. However, I found the room to be a bit on the smaller side, and the dining options were limited, which was a letdown. Overall, it offers great value for money, especially with so many nearby attractions.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The location is quite convenient, being next to the Desaru Adventure Waterpark and not too far from several attractions, plus the rooms are clean and cozy.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which boasts an awesome view of the water park and is conveniently located nearby. The rooms are comfortable with a good selection of movies, but they definitely need a better cleaning as I noticed some dust here and there. The staff was super friendly, providing excellent service throughout my stay. However, a slight downside was that the surroundings felt a bit isolated from other attractions, but it's perfect if you love the water park.

My stay at this hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were clean and comfortable, though they weren't overly spacious for my family of four. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, which made a big difference. However, the dining experience left something to be desired due to long queues at breakfast and limited food options. The location is great if you're planning to visit the nearby waterpark, but it's quite remote from the city center, which may not suit everyone.
