[2025 Bandar Penawar Stay] Travel Guide for Hard Rock Hotel Desaru Coast (Updated Jan)

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!

it was great weekend getaways in Hard Rock hotel desaru coast. it’s attached to adventure waterpark desaru coast where you can just walk to waterpark with multiple entry. we booked a double bed room with 2 queen size bed allowed you to stay up to 2 adults & 2 kids. that’s just nice for family. we got upgrade to rock loyalty room with the lounge facility . there is a coffee machine and bottle for you to refill the water using the special pipe inside the washroom. we hops to adventure waterpark on the next day we have lots of fun inside the waterpark. you can request a towel to bring into waterpark and returned back to hotel once you done. the breakfast & elephant & butterfly restaurant was great! one more tips! request a buggy to head over to Westin hotel for the beach therapy . we had enjoyed our weekend getaway here #weekendgetaways

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

It’s time of the year where couples do things they usually don’t do, to express how much they love each other~ And this year, the man made a lot more effort (than past 2 years) to celebrate this day with me! Highlight of the trip was the stay in Hard Rock Hotel @ Desaru! The booking comes with: 1) A night stay 2) 2 complimentary mocktail drinks, which can be redeemed at the lobby lounge before 7pm 3) Complimentary breakfast for 2 pax 4) Complimentary parking 5) 2 Adventure Waterpark tickets during your stay The room was clean and lovely, with a nice balcony. After settling in, we went for a swim at the pool. When we were back in the room, I was surprised by the lovely setup in the room! The man booked their Valentine’s Day in-room dining package and was secretly arranging with the staff for setup and service! Great effort and service by the staff! And kudos to the man who planned all these! PS: we did not manage to go for the Adventure Waterpark due to heavy rain

The most versatile hotel I've ever been to... The staff was friendly and always smile even when its late at night and the energy there were pufff...hype!!!

Family friendly hotel, located next to Desaru Adventure Park… Just slight downside, it’s not located next to beach. but, easy to get buggy service to send you directly to beach. #mytripvlog #tripblazers #awesomepic

#staycation This was our first experience ever, staying in a Hard Rock Hotel. This whole experience was beyond my expectation. When I first reached here, the moment I stepped into the hotel lobby, i was so mesmerized by it. The hotel lobby is huge and so clean. There were many people at that moment since it was during Christmas time, but the check in process was quite fast. The staffs there are so friendly and helpful. Let's talk about the room. The room is spectacular. Spacious, luxurious, clean and beautiful. The bed is so comfy. The room has its own dressing room, the part of the room that i love the most. This is my first time seeing a dressing room in a hotel room. The shower and the toilet is so clean and spacious. Not to mention the view of our room, which is the desaru water park. We had our Christmas eve dinner buffet here and the foods are so tasty and delicious. I have no complaints about it at all. The waitress and the waiters are so friendly. The breakfast were also fantastic, they have varieties of foods. I couldn't get enough of it. Overall, it is a 10/10 experience for me and i would totally recommend this hotel. #hardrockdesarucoast #hardrockhotel #christmas

Looking for a wide spread variety of food options from Indian, Chinese, western, pastries, local malay desserts, freshly prepared noodles and freshly cooked eggs? Look no further and head to Hard Rock Hotel at Desaru Coast where they offer a such a wide spread of food options that you won't be able to even try every dish there, and gosh this is just breakfast. The restaurant for hotel patrons has ample amount of seating but still I rather go in earlier so that the food buffet area won't be as crowded, and staff there are also friendly and efficient at clearing plates as well! Definitely a great experience. Just wondering, if breakfast option has so many options, what's for dinner oh my! #celebratewithtrip #malaysia #foodie #buffet #hardrockhotel #desarucoast #breakfast

Hard rock hotels around the world have never fail to impress especially in the lobby where upon arrival into the stylish entrance you be greeted by either guitars or rocks star figurines located either at the entrance or at the lobbies of their hotels with many other memorable old soundtracks or music players. The Hard Rock Hotel desau coast also took initiative to make guest feel welcome especially when you arrive at the hotel lobby. You will be served a welcome drink, and for you birthday you will also be gifted a free cake and also a souvenir by Hard Rock themselves. The lobby is also always decorated with mannequins with information of the clothing, shoes and jewelleries which was once wore by these popular stars! #meetkualalumpur #hardrock #lobby #music #musicinsipred #coollobbies #desarucoast #desaru #hardrockhotel

Many would have know hard rock is a popular chain of hotels located around the entire world. There is 2 hotel in malaysia, one in Kuala Lumpur and another located via the beach side at desaru coast towards south east of Malaysia where its a rough 3 hours or sometimes even a 4 hours drive. This is a great road trip especially for families and kids who want to form a closer bond when it comes to fun and games with parents. Great comfy rooms, with decoration dedicated to hard rock hotel themes like guitar and paintings of rock stars making this a very hyped and hipster kind of hotel. #meetkualalumpur #hardrockhotel #desarucoast #roadtrip #desaru #beachlife #beachview #beaches #staycation #relaxation

Perfect accommodation for family. The best part is the pool and the distance to the beach (walkable and there is also shuttle services). Awesome place to rest and recharge for a short break.

Decided to drive away from town and head to the sanctuary away from hustle and bustle of the city. The choice was a Thai restaurant in a different hotel. But we ended up deciding on Mexican food as the locals brag of their Hardrock Cafe Hotel, and we agree it was a excellent choice, a great service even the restaurant was busy with many people. Special shout out to the bartender for the excellent mojitos . The Oysters are excellent, the Calamari lamb shank and churros were excellent and also their guacamole! I’d say it’s value for money. We enjoyed our dinner and we Will be back for the year end festivities...you guys Rock! #tripblazers #bucketlistreboot #awesomepic

Best hotel to stay if you plan to enjoy your holiday at water park. Because, the hotel is connecting with the water park. So it’s really convenient and easy to access the waterpark from the hotel. The location makes it a perfect gateway for a family. In general, the room is beautiful and modern. We loved the breakfast spread. Got many choices. The club lounge also offers a delicious foods. For a better excitement, don’t forget to book a room with view of water park. It will be more pricey but worth every single penny! This place gonna be a memorable one 🥰 #hardrockdesarucoast #desaruwaterpark #staycation #johortrip

For a great start, we are welcomed with a warm staff and fresh welcome drinks. After we checked in, we had nachos and cocktails by the pool.. Continued by swimming and strolling in the beach side during sunset time! Even hard rock do not have direct access to beach, we can freely go via Westin hotel. Ending the day with a great music and drinks near to bar! Everyone was having a blast time! For kids, they have kids club and direct access to water park! What an experience! Rate 11 out of 10!

best ever hospitality..
