Four Points by Sheraton Desaru

Overview of Four Points by Sheraton Desaru

Four Points by Sheraton Desaru stands out on the low-rise southern Johor coast as a 15-storey tower, a scale that is unusual for the Bandar Penawar township it sits in. According to Traveloka's listing data, the 4-star hotel was built in 2017 and holds 309 rooms spread across those 15 floors, making it one of the larger room inventories in the Desaru area. Its address is Jalan Kempas 2, Taman Desaru Utama, Kota Tinggi, Johor, 81930, Malaysia, placing it inside the residential and commercial township rather than on the beachfront resort strip.

That setting shapes what the hotel is good for. Instead of a self-contained beach resort, Four Points by Sheraton Desaru works as a town-based base: the SKS Mall in Desaru is listed at about 1.0 km away, the Bandar Penawar town centre at about 4.8 km, and the Desaru public beach at roughly 10.3 km. Guests get the practical convenience of a township address, with the coast, the water park and the countryside attractions of eastern Johor within a short drive.

The hotel carries the Four Points by Sheraton name, and the property description on its listing sums up the formula: rooms with comfortable beds, productive workspaces and fast, free Wi-Fi, plus dining, a pool, a fitness centre and event venues. The listing also notes that it suits both business events and corporate gatherings as well as family holidays, a mix that reflects its size and its event spaces.

For Singapore-based travellers, Four Points by Sheraton Desaru is a straightforward option for a short getaway across the Causeway or Second Link to the Desaru side of Johor, especially for those who prefer a branded hotel with a full-time front desk and a familiar standard of service.

Room Types at Four Points by Sheraton Desaru

All 309 rooms at Four Points by Sheraton Desaru follow the Four Points approach of keeping the essentials simple and dependable. The property description highlights three core elements in every room: a comfortable bed, a productive workspace and fast, free Wi-Fi. Exact room categories, bed configurations and room sizes vary by booking date, so the Traveloka room list is the best place to see what is available for your stay.

Rooms for Couples and Solo Travellers

Rooms booked for one or two guests are designed around rest and light work, with the bed and desk set-up described in the hotel's own listing. They suit solo travellers and couples visiting Desaru for a weekend, as well as business guests attending an event at the hotel. Check the individual room card on Traveloka for the bed type (king or twin options, where offered) and the maximum occupancy before you book.

Rooms for Families and Groups

Families planning a holiday should look closely at occupancy rules. Traveloka's listing notes that an extra person fee for a third guest or more in one room is charged directly at the hotel and is not included in the total price shown at booking. If you are travelling with children or a group of three or more, compare the occupancy of each room type and budget for that on-site charge, or consider booking two rooms instead.

In-Room Features

Beyond the bed, workspace and Wi-Fi confirmed in the property description, rooms typically include air conditioning and a private bathroom. Per-room amenities such as kettles, minibars or bathtubs are not itemised in the listing data, so see the room details on Traveloka for the current amenity list of the specific room you choose.

If you have a preference such as a higher floor in the 15-storey building or a quieter room, add a note to your booking or ask at check-in. Requests are subject to availability and are not guaranteed.

Facilities and Amenities

Four Points by Sheraton Desaru combines the facilities listed in its own property description with a set of practical services recorded in Traveloka's facility data. Together, they cover the basics for leisure guests and the extras that event organisers need.

• Pool: the property description lists a pool for guests to unwind after a day out on the coast.
• Fitness centre: a fitness centre is included in the hotel's description, useful for guests keeping up a routine on a work trip.
• Event venues: the hotel offers event venues, and its listing positions it for business events and corporate gatherings.
• Wi-Fi: fast, free Wi-Fi is mentioned in the description of the rooms; confirm any access terms with the hotel at check-in.
• Coffee shop and bar: the facility list includes a coffee shop, and the listing records one bar on site.
• Accessibility: the property is marked as disabled access friendly.
• Security: on-site security is listed among the hotel's facilities.

On the service side, Traveloka's data lists a 24-hour receptionist and a 24-hour front desk, multilingual staff, a money changer and newspapers in the lobby. The money changer is handy for Singapore visitors who arrive without ringgit, although rates and availability should be confirmed at the desk.

A few details are worth checking directly with the hotel before you travel. Room service appears in the facility list, but the listing's room service field is marked as not available, so confirm current hours and options with the front desk. Parking information in the listing is also mixed, with a parking fee type recorded but parking not marked as available, so drivers should check arrangements with the property in advance. An airport transfer is not listed as available.

Location and Getting There

Four Points by Sheraton Desaru is in Taman Desaru Utama within Bandar Penawar, part of the Kota Tinggi district in south-eastern Johor. The township location means shops, food outlets and everyday services are close by, while the main coastal attractions are a short drive away.

Distances listed in Traveloka's area information include:

• SKS Mall - Desaru: about 1.0 km
• Bujang Firefly River Cruise: about 1.0 km
• Desaru Fruit Farm: about 3.5 km

Most guests from Singapore arrive by road, crossing into Johor and driving east towards Desaru. Travellers coming from further afield can fly into Senai International Airport, about 73 km away, and continue by car; you can book flights on Traveloka to Johor and plan the onward drive. As the hotel does not list an airport transfer, arrange a taxi, ride-hailing service or rental car in advance. Bandar Penawar Bus Station, about 5.3 km from the hotel, is the nearest bus hub for those travelling by coach.

Having your own transport makes the most of the area, since the beach, the water park and the farm attractions are spread out along the coast and inland roads.

Dining at and near Four Points by Sheraton Desaru

Traveloka's facility data for Four Points by Sheraton Desaru includes a restaurant tag and a coffee shop, and the listing records one bar. The hotel's own description also refers to dining on site, so guests can expect to eat in without leaving the building. Meal plans and breakfast inclusion depend on the rate you book, so check whether breakfast is included on the room card before confirming.

The bar is a natural place to wind down after an event or a day at the beach, while the coffee shop suits a quick bite or a casual meeting. Opening hours and menus can change, so ask the front desk for the latest details on arrival.

The township location is a real advantage for food. SKS Mall in Desaru, about 1.0 km away, and the Bandar Penawar town centre, about 4.8 km away, give easy access to local eateries and shops. Many visitors combine dinner in town with an evening trip on the Bujang Firefly River Cruise, also listed at around 1.0 km from the hotel. For more ideas, browse things to do and attraction tickets around Desaru, from the water park to farm tours.

• On site: coffee shop, bar and on-site dining as described in the listing

• Day trips: Desaru Fruit Farm, about 3.5 km away, for a fruit-themed outing

Why Stay at Four Points by Sheraton Desaru

The strongest reason to choose Four Points by Sheraton Desaru is the balance it strikes between a branded hotel standard and a practical township setting. With 309 rooms over 15 floors, built in 2017, it offers the capacity and consistency of a larger hotel in an area where many stays are smaller resorts or holiday homes.

• Brand consistency: the Four Points by Sheraton name signals a predictable set of essentials: comfortable beds, workspaces and fast, free Wi-Fi.
• Event-ready: event venues and a listing positioned for business events and corporate gatherings make it a solid choice for company retreats in Johor.
• Family-friendly base: the listing describes it as suitable for family holidays, with the Desaru water park and beach about 10.3 km away.
• Around-the-clock front desk: a 24-hour receptionist and multilingual staff help with late arrivals from Singapore.
• Close to town: SKS Mall and the firefly river cruise are both about 1.0 km away.

It is less suited to travellers who want to step straight onto the sand, since the beach is a drive away. If a beachfront stay is the priority, compare other hotels in the area before deciding, and weigh the trade-off between beach access and township convenience.

Tips for Booking Four Points by Sheraton Desaru on Traveloka

1. Check the occupancy rules: a fee for a third guest or more in one room is charged at the hotel and is not included in the Traveloka total, so plan room choices for families carefully.
2. Note the check-in and check-out times: check-in starts from 15:00 and check-out is by 12:00, which works well for a Saturday morning drive from Singapore and a Sunday midday departure.
3. Confirm parking ahead: parking details in the listing are mixed, so contact the hotel before driving in.
4. Plan your transfer: no airport transfer is listed, so book a car or taxi if you fly into Senai.
5. Look at breakfast options: some rates include breakfast and others do not; compare them on the room card.
6. Watch weekend and school holiday demand: Desaru is a popular weekend escape, so book early for Friday and Saturday nights and public holidays.
7. Review the cancellation policy: refundable and non-refundable rates may both appear; check the conditions before you pay.
