Overall Ratings & Reviews Hard Rock Hotel Desaru Coast

I would like to compliment The staff from the bell boys to the receptionists to the poolside life guard and lastly the Hard Rock boutique staff , Emma, very attentive , friendly and helpful. Although she is all alone but she manage the crowded hotel guest all by herself professionally . You guys Rocks!!! This is a family with children friendly resorts. They provide free buggy to and fro Westin hotel for everyone to go to the beach . Breakfast was good. The only sad part was the pool was too small to serve full occupancy. The pool facilties and man made beach in Hard Rock resort world Singapre are much better . All hotel guest can use without need to pay additional entrance fee. And the bathroom and toilet need some upgrade . (4/10) Oh lastly the WiFi (omg!!) (2/10) Why provide free WiFi at first place that have no connection most of the time 😑

Nice hotel, waterpark in front of room balcony, walkable to beach.

Very good hotel in all ways, definitely will book next time as well.

For a round table in the bedroom, it is too big and makes it a bit difficult to do activities.

my stay was really awesome! i come during my birthday trip & i got some gift from them. the food was good, the staff really friendly & helpful. The ambience also good. we enjoy the live band so much.

Service is below par for a 5 star branded hotel. Requested for extra towels, took them hours to send. Had to call twice before I got the extra towels. Complimentary welcome drink was not served although the coupon was given to the staff. Staff didn't even apologize for his mistake. Overall, overpriced hotel with poor service. Breakfast was below my usual expectation for a 5 star hotel. My 1st & last time staying there.

The F&b service team is not the most friendly and not the most welcoming to the guests needs. The F&b department must be more trained by the top Management to be more welcoming & friendly & more hotelier to the the guests who will come to this hotel in the future. Also, so many dirty plates were not taken out from our table by the F&b staff, so I have to do it myself to remove the dirty plate from out table. The Front office reception on the other hand have better performance in welcoming and treating the guests and very friendly.

Always a pleasure to stay in this hotel. I absolutely love how child and family-friendly this place is. Good and huge room for children to run around and the live band is good for adults who want to have some time drinking and enjoying the music.

Easily accessible from Singapore now since there is a short 1.5 hours ferry ride from Tanah Merah terminal. There is a shuttle from Desaru terminal to hotel, a short 10 mins drive away. Hotel feels quite new. Perfect for kids since there is huge adventure waterpark attached to hotel. Food is also nice. The beach is also a short 10 mins walk through Westin, right across hard rock.

Pantai jauh and makanan sedap dan murah. Pool pun jauh dari bilik, overall nak tenang-tenang oke lah, not happening macam Penang, kena bawa makanan banyak-banyak sebab kedai jauh 😙

Overall the place needs some refurbishment. The rooms were quite outdated and housekeeping could be better as the room was very dusty. We got our room only around 445pm as we were told that it was pending supervisor approval. When we finally entered the room, we found that the rubbish from the previous guest was not cleared. More F&B options would be good.

It was great experience. The hotel was clean, the beach is just a block away, and there is a private bus sending to the beach as well. There is a direct entrance to adventure waterpark from the hotel directly. Kids club is available to send the kids in. Spa would need prior booking before able to get the slot.

Nice Hotel, with very friendly and accommodating staff to our request (as we needed connecting rooms for my friend who booked 2 rooms (family and kids). The adventure park is so near and we had easy access to this water park.

Great points: 1. Food was fantastic. 2. Service was prompt and good. Staff were friendly. 3. Located next to waterpark. Bad points: 1. 2 out 3 towels had stains. Pillowcase had stains as well. 2. Fault door lock. Got locked out of the room at 1.45am because the door lock ran out of battery. 3. The small curtain covering the window - outsiders can see into my room (facing the bed) 4. Reached at 2pm. But my room was only ready at 5pm. Way past check in time (staff was good, gave me complimentary late check out + free waterpark tickets as service recovery) 5. So noisy. Could hear the waterpark night event till 11pm.

The hotel 's staff is friendly. The check-in process is smooth. However, we never know that the tenant in Hard Rock can access to a private beach not far from the hotel. This has not been told during the check-in. Also, the foods quality is very much below expectation. Lastly, we don't get a good first impression when we see the hotel 's swimming pool.

Clean and spacious. Passed the vibes check. The staff were all very friendly.

Aircon was permanently at 19 degrees. It took three calls for technician to realize that a bypass function was switched on. This could have been resolved at the first call made. With the noise pollution from the water park, toddler had a hard time during afternoon nap. Room was not ideally sound proof.

Loving the good hospitality that Hard rock hotel offers and grateful for the complimentary free upgrade of rooms and benefit. We enjoys the breakfast and the complimentary cocktails 😃 definitely will return again!

Cons: Hotel and Room are not well maintained. Hotel walkways are littered with dirt, bird poo and dead insects. The room was not very clean and dusty, cannot walk around the room barefooted and step on pieces of sand or dirt every now and then, wearing a bedroom slipper is a must. Stayed for 3d 2n, walked past a dustbin near the lift lobby at our room level, and saw a few pizza boxes thrown on top, from the first day I checked in till I check out it's still there …. This is the 4th of the hard rock hotel chain I have stayed in, have been to hour Bali, Pattaya, and SG. And Desaru Hard rock really pales in comparison based on cleanliness. The Breakfast was very average. Pro: the staff was friendly and helpful. It's connected to the adventure water park. My kid loves the acoustic swimming pool in the hotel. Overall its style due to its location in the water park, really needs to improve on the cleanliness in order to make guests feel more comfortable.

The receptionist did not get inform us that we can get the touch and go validated upon checking in. Only when we are leaving the hotel for town and we checked with the security and he told us so. We had to walk all the way to receptionist to do so and walk back to the car which is parked at far end. During breakfast, they did not replenish the food. One guest told them to do so as the noodles, nasi lemak and rendang tray were empty and it ' s only 9ish. The staff said, we have done it 3 times. Well regardless, there's a queue and food is empty. There were not enough proper parking lots resulting in guests parking anywhere and anyhow. Suggest to have a proper parking lots with shelter. The receptionist guy did a wonderful job by allowing us to check in prior to the check in time.
