We had no idea what to expect as we booked last minute without doing any research nor looking at pictures. Also the name, One & Only Desaru, is somewhat non-descript, it doesn't evoke much... This is a 5-star resort, an oasis secluded from the world, large luxurious villas, private beaches and all -- and also, I guess, from paparazzis! That kind of a place. Top, top, top. Will return for sure.

Tips for First-Time Visitors

For the best experience, consider booking a room with an ocean view. Families may prefer a suite or villa with more space and privacy. Couples seeking a romantic getaway should opt for a beachfront villa with a private plunge pool.

Pack light clothing, swimwear, sunscreen, and insect repellent. A hat and sunglasses are also essential for protecting yourself from the sun. Don't forget to bring a universal adapter if you're travelling from overseas.

English is widely spoken at One&Only Desaru Coast and in the surrounding area. However, learning a few basic Malay phrases can enhance your interactions with locals and show your appreciation for their culture.

Be mindful of local customs and traditions. Dress modestly when visiting religious sites, and always ask for permission before taking photos of people. Tipping is not customary in Malaysia, but it is always appreciated for exceptional service.

For one of the most expensive resort in Desaru, everything should be ready even with no reservations. High tea at 3-5pm and when I requested for high tea at 4:45pm the server rejected the request saying they have finished serving high tea. Quite a shame for a luxury hotel. Been to others luxurious resorts and never get this kind of request turned down.

We stayed two nights at One&Only Desaru Coast with our baby. The resort anticipated all our needs with a cot, changing table, sterilizer and bottle warmer. The room and food were impeccable. However, we were rather disappointed by the patchy service during breakfast. For two mornings, we had our orders forgotten. For the first morning’s order we had to ask twice before we were served. In the second breakfast our ordered dishes didn’t even come, and we gave up asking. Simple requests like baby cutlery and tissue paper took 10 minutes to arrive. For all the great service elsewhere in the resort, the breakfast service was just simply not up to standards for a resort of this calibre. All in all it could have been a perfect experience if not for the frustrating experience at breakfast.

Amazing property with some fantastic people and overall very good service. The engaged and present management team does a great job helping people grow, where necessary. Both restaurants are good, delivering on service, food and ambience. Personally I would like to see Hoshi deliver “a bit more”, move from good to outstanding, also to match the price tag. Looking forward to seeing the development over time.

Had a memorable 3D2N stay with my family in One&Only. The room is well equipped with everything you would need for a perfect staycation; a spacious bathroom, bath bomb for a relaxing soaking, tea in a variety choices and Nespresso coffee machine. Balcony with a long couch is a plus for family chilling session. A short walking to the private beach where you could enjoy the sunrise. The Resort Manager, Mr Rahman is attentive and graceful in accepting feedback. Definitely will come back for another stay.

The resort is nice but the food at the hotel is overpriced for example a plate of chicken rice will cost you about RM115. Overall the experience is nice and the staff were very friendly and helpful. In addition, the sports club facilities ie tennis and other varieties of sports are excellent. But during this monsoon period ie in December, there’s nothing much you can do at the beach. So try to avoid this period if you can.

This happens to be the 4th One&Only resort that I’ve stayed at; therefore there are certain expectations are required to be met. This is an excellent 5 Star Resort without any doubt but hasn’t quite succeeded in living up to the One&Only brand, unfortunately. Parking my vehicle was not an issue but lugging my baggage up a flight of stairs from the carpark to the lobby without any help was not very pleasant. I was only brought to my villa for check-in after I waiting in the lobby from 3.15pm to 4.15pm. Even then, I had to make a fuss before one of the staff attended to me. I was flabbergasted that coffee and tea was served without a sugar bowl or a milk jug during breakfast. I had to remind a member of the staff and by the time the milk and sugar arrived, I was about to finish my breakfast. Great attention to detail when it comes to amenities and presentation and I wouldn’t expect any less from The One&Only must say that all the staff are very well mannered, polite and helpful

Wanted to organize a private dinner with family and friends, however the staff was not accommodative at all. Overall good property and amnesties, staff need to be retrained.
