A great choice for a short stay in Desaru. Rooms are very comfortable and spacious with large bathrooms and balconies. Pool and beach areas are beautiful and relaxing. Good variety of food at breakfast, service in the restaurants and bars was friendly but often rather slow. Limited dining options on site and not much else in the area other than a few other hotels and the golf course.

The sink was cloaked the entire time when we arrived and despite multiple calls, no one came to fix it or rather, no one informed us that this can't be fixed. The shower temperature is inconsistent and turns hot and cold in seconds so it 's very hard to shower my little girl without her constantly screaming it 's hot or cold. There 's a bee in the room which I called to ask for assistance and again, no one came to help. It 's definitely not worth the steep price I paid for.

Good place to bring the kids to. There is kid 's club where the kids can play while waiting for the sun to set before heading to the beach. Check in is a bit disappointing. Only managed to get the room after 4PM. Not much option for food after-hours, only room dine in is available. So be prepared to stock up some snacks in case your stomach is growling at the wee hours.

This is such a beautiful resort! We stayed in the deluxe sea view room and it was a very good size and came with a spacious balcony too. Service was excellent! Would return and highly recommend. A few areas I thought could be better: 1. Food OK but not great. 2. Poor internet-especially at balcony/bathroom. 3. Small gap, the size of a small iPhone, at the bottom of balcony window, is something parents want to keep their kids away from.

We had a fantastic stay! Security is tight at guardhouse which I really appreciate. We're invited to sit at sofa by the pool with welcome drink and cool towel. Check in process is was done by the friendly staff at the poolside. We booked 2 rooms and both room condition are great. Love the big balcony with beautiful sea view. The bathroom is big and detailed in terms of user experience. Breakfast buffet spread is great, fresh and delicious. Not to forget beautiful sunrise on the second day of our stay. Overall a relaxing and comfortable stay experience.

Dear mohd Greetings from Anantara Desaru Coast. The team and I are very grateful for your recent visit and your excellent review you share with us and fellow travelers. We are excited to see that you and your family enjoyed your stay at our resort and that all aspects of your stay meeting your expectations. I will pass your compliments to Hazami who will be thrilled knowing that his efficient and personalized service made the difference. I fully agree that our Deluxe Seaview rooms are an excellent choice. With magnificent views over the resort and the South China Sea the spacious balcony invites you to lounge and enjoy the mesmerizing sunrises in the morning. Please come and visit us in the dry season where the ocean is very calm and ideal for families with younger kids to enjoy splashing in the sea. Looking very much forward seeing you soon again for another family staycation. Best regards Christian Gerart General Manager

First time stay at Anantara brand hotel, not sure is there any different class of service, maybe if you looked rich then you can get a better service? Hmmm, first and last time. Hotel is great, but service not up to my expectation.
