Lotus Desaru Beach Resort & Spa

The Indian food at the resort was great. The rooms were spacious and I managed to get an upgrade to a 2 room suite the next day (be mindful of the cost, eg weekend vs weekday). The sea sport activities are affordable and there is a greater variety here as compared to the other resorts. The outdoor area was used to entertain children. But do not expect 5 star facilities here in the room, as it can be a bit jaded with old furniture and rustic bathrooms, but that is why this resort is among the cheaper ones at Desaru. This was not much of a problem for us as we only came back to the rooms to sleep and rest. It is a 5-7min drive to the fruit farm where you can consume fruits, juices ad coconut drink at the eatery outside the farm. KFC and other eateries are just a 5 minute drive away.

Beach was amazing, white sands and blue water. Breakfast was good too, just take note its not continental breakfast. Purely local delights. Roti Canai with curry and teh tarik really hit the spot, nasi lemak was nice too. Tons of facilities for families and team building purposes. When you first enter the area, it might feel overwhelming just to find the lobby but you will get your bearings really quick. For couples, I would recommend getting Block A upon checking as it is one of the blocks that is closest to the lobby and eating spots. They have 4 choices of restaurants and a beach bar. Staff were helpful and friendly. Room is amazingly huge, more or less a duplex.

We booked 5 top floor single room, received free upgrade from the hotel to 4 bedrooms apartment & 1 single room, next to each other. Super good. Everything was good, breakfast was decent & 'basic' I'd say, it was a peak time so had to wait bit longer for buggy, resortwas quite big, beach was okay, pool was a bit strict as you are not allowed to wear jersey/shirt, only swim attires. For the splash park, they were not that strict, can wear jersey/shirt. Overall, was a nice stay. Thanks Lotus team.

The experience was exceptional from start to finish. The entire property exudes an active and lively ambiance, making it an ideal retreat for families. The vibrant environment and the uplifting vibe left a lasting impression, offering the perfect balance of relaxation and recreation. The rooms were impeccably maintained, combining cleanliness with functionality. All essential facilities were thoughtfully provided, ensuring a seamless experience. I particularly appreciated the duplex room concept, which added a modern and spacious touch. It’s an ideal setup for couples seeking comfort and privacy. The daily housekeeping service further emphasized the resort's commitment to hygiene and guest satisfaction. A standout feature of my stay was the exemplary service provided by the staff, especially the receptionist, Mr. Karthiswaran. His dedication to guest comfort was evident as he went above and beyond to make our stay effortless. Given that we were traveling with a toddler under a year old, he ensured we were accommodated in a ground-level room near the lobby and waterpark. This thoughtful gesture enhanced our convenience tremendously. Breakfast at the resort was another highlight. The spread offered a decent variety, and every dish was prepared to perfection, consistently delivering on taste. It was clear that the culinary team prioritized both quality and flavor, making each meal delightful. Overall, this resort exemplifies excellence in hospitality, providing a vibrant yet family-friendly atmosphere, outstanding service, and well-appointed accommodations. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable getaway.

The breakfast had a lot of options and plenty of sausages for my two little ones ! The resort has a lot of things to do for little ones and is well located.
