Staycation at Hard Rock Desaru!

Enjoy the spacious room and cool design while staying at Hard Rock Desaru, walking distance to beach but the pools over here is slightly small compared to the others, however, i do enjoyed with the variety of food during breakfast, like the design where they decorated with different music instruments, unique experience as located quite a distance from jB city!

Desaru’s Rock & Roll 🎸

No trip to Desaru is complete without visiting Hard Rock Desaru Resort and take pic with its iconic guitar 🎸 Located an hour away from the hustle and bustle of the Johor Bahru city centre, this family friendly resort, is a perfect place to chill and have fun! With direct access to Adventure Water Park, and an awesome kids club, I can see why this place is a popular choice for families with young kids. A live band at night and light projected onto the building facade surely lives up the night atmosphere. Things to note: A valid ticket is required to enter and guests may purchase directly from the Adventure Waterpark Desaru Coast, with direct walking access available for in-house guests. 📍Hard Rock Hotel Desaru Coast #tripblazers #urbanexplorer #mytripvlog #desaru #hardrockdesarucoast

desaru for the 70.3 Ironman

Desaru Coast is a coastal resort area in Southeastern Johor, Peninsular Malaysia. The small town of Bandar Penawar serves as the area’s transport hub. Whether you are traveling alone, with your friends or family, there are more than enough activities to keep your stay fun and awesome and alternatively, if you want to keep it low-key and relaxed, the place can still give you the quiet and peace as it is still laid-back and not too crowded. For those bringing their kids in tow, there’s the Desaru Coast Adventure Water Park and the Ostrich Farms. If you love nature activities, a trip to the fishing villages in Tanjung Balau and the Desaru Fruit Farm are top options. And then there’s the food. At 40-50 RM or around 10 USD, you can already feast on affordable seafood as the town is coastal in nature. Keep it local and definitely there will be plenty of affordable but decent food options. The race started with a rolling start process in front of The Westin Desaru Coast Resort beachfront. The course is an inverted triangle swim, and in a clockwise direction. The swim was relatively smooth except for some little waves near the shore. Feedback from finishers were the presence of tiny shrimp-like creatures, or planktons. That’s open water swim for you and you will get through that. The last 700m swim back was a hurdle for some, as they were fighting to keep it rightmost on waves that were coming from right to left. From the swim out is a good 200-300 meter jog to the transition area. Another 200m jog from the transition area greets the athletes from where the bike mount area is. The long transition is worth it as this is one of the best bike courses in the triathlon racing circuit in Asia. What made the bike course pop out in this review is two things: First, the roads are silky smooth (as Zohan would say it), almost perfect and immaculate road conditions. Second, the canopy of trees and vegetation is a welcome sight, especially in the Jalan Ladang Siang section. With the sun barely out, the canopy provided shade to the athletes. It is truly a refreshing view. Despite the terrain being rolling and undulating, there is nothing too hard for most trained triathletes, except for a few steep sections. A cassette with 27 or 30 at the back is more than enough. Despite that, the course is not technical and plenty of straight sections can give triathletes time to keep their head down and steady. I thought the course would feature some coastal views, but the roadside view of plants, trees and vegetation does not disappoint. Course was well marked and plenty of marshals and police/security on hand to control the minimal traffic on the course. On my coverage, there was very minimal vehicle-cyclist interaction, and could say that the bike course was almost exclusive to the participants. Another long jog to the transition area greets the triathletes after the dismount area. As with any Siutheast Asian race, it should be hot on the

Calming Lotus Seaview Beach Resort

#resortstyle Lotus Seaview Beach Resort is located at Pengerang, Johor. It is very close to the famous Desaru beach. Much quieter and good for those who are looking for less crowded tourist areas. It is a budget friendly resort with direct access to the beach. The room was basic, the buffet breakfast was decent. I love the ambiance, the coconut trees, and the sound of the waves. So calming and relaxing to stay here. Sometimes we need some quiet time to examine our lives and give the mind an opportunity to refresh.

A must-visit beach at Desaru!

it was an awesome unplanned staycation at Lotus Seaview Beach Spa and Resort. Even though it is quite a distance from the main attraction at Desaru, I bet that you would not regret your stay here. The hotel staff are so, so friendly and helpful. They are kind and really customer-friendly. When we requested for a room nearest to the beach, my friend and I were given an upgraded room without any extra charges.

Pemandangan laut yang cantik

Lokasi resort yang strategik dan jauh dari kesesakan kawasan bandar tetapi berhampiran dengan pekan Sungai Rengit yang mempunyai pelbagai kemudahan kedai-kedai runcit & makanan yang menarik sama ada Fast Food dan masakan panas serta pasaraya Econsave dan pasaraya yang lain-lain. Lokasi resort juga berhampiran dalam jarak 2KM dengan lokasi kedai makanan laut yang popular iaitu Warong Lobster Sungai Musoh yang menghidangkan pelbagai jenis masakan-masakan yang segar seperti lobster hidup, ikan, udang, sotong dan lain-lain makanan laut. Sangat tertarik dengan pemandangan laut dan matahari dikala waktu matahari terbenam dan matahari terbit. #awesomepic #mytripvlog
