Our stay at Sand & Sandals Desaru Beach Resort and Spa allowed us to enjoy sun, surf and relaxation. The hotel's swimming pool is very interestingly designed, with a water slide and an underwater bar. I didn't feel tired even after playing for a whole afternoon. Moreover, the swimming pool is close to the beach. You can step on the fine sand in a few steps and feel the joy of the waves gently lapping against your feet. What’s even more interesting is that there are lively little monkeys appearing around from time to time, adding a lot of fun and surprises. The hotel room is impressive, spacious enough to jog in This stay was not only comfortable, but also full of nature and fun. It was a particularly relaxing and enjoyable journey. address Jalan Desaru, Desaru, 81930 Bandar Penawar, Johor Darul Ta'zim, Malaysia #beaches #familytravel

Recently also became a popular camping spot. This beach is so worthy to go. The beach is so beautiful and nice view. You can do family outing or friend outing. The only downside is that the sea water is greyish. Bring your own food for picnic there.

Our family getaway at Sand & Sandals Desaru was pure bliss from start to finish. Tucked along the coast, the resort offered a beautiful beachfront view that put us instantly in vacation mode. The sound of the waves complemented the laid-back tropical vibe—and yes, we spent plenty of time just lounging on the sand, watching the kids build sandcastles and chase waves. The rooms were clean, bright, and spacious enough for our energetic clan. We appreciated the fresh decor, comfy bedding, and that refreshing air-conditioned welcome after a hot afternoon outdoors. One of the highlights was the spa—a serene escape where we indulged in a soothing massage and feeling utterly relaxed. It felt like a mini spa retreat without having to leave the resort. Mealtime was a breeze with several dining options. We enjoyed beachside BBQs, buffet spreads, and casual café bites. Fresh seafood, local Malay dishes, and international comfort food ensured everyone was happy and well-fed. Activities-wise, there was something for everyone—beach volleyball, paddleboarding, pool play for the kids, and evening entertainment that made nights special. We even tried the resort’s family-friendly games and craft sessions, which added a thoughtful touch to our stay. The resort staff were genuinely warm, always greeting us with smiles and helping with anything we needed—from pool towels to snack recommendations. Their hospitality really enhanced the whole experience. If you’re planning a relaxed seaside escape in Desaru with family, Sand & Sandals offers the perfect mix of beachfront charm, thoughtful amenities, and heartfelt service. #summervacay #DesaruBeach #FamilyResort #BeachHoliday #SpaRetreat #MalaysiaTrip #SandAndSandals #DesaruResort #BeachVacation #FamilyGetaway #TropicalEscape #malaysia #desaru

The weather is very good today, not too sunny and not too windy. There are several tables on the beach. There are many crabs on the beach at night, and my children also caught several of them and brought them home🤣 The hotel facilities are very complete, and the hotel includes breakfast, which is also very rich. Today is also my sister's birthday, and I bought a cake to celebrate with her.

One of the best resort in Desaru you will ever experienced. To be honest , i dont expect much because old hotel. But as soon i walk through the hotel full with green nature. The room was spacious & got bathtub at my balcony & that was awesome ! BREAKFAST WAS THE MOST WORTHFUL. Really enjoy my stay here .

One of the best vacations because the hotel is very beautiful. The hotel facilities are very good.

I recently stayed at Sands & Sandal Desaru Beach Resort and overall, I was satisfied with my experience. Here's a quick breakdown: - **Breakfast:** The breakfast was okay with a decent variety of options. - **Dinner:** The dinner was just so-so, and the service was notably slow, which was a bit disappointing. - **Room:** The room was clean and comfortable, meeting my expectations. - **Beach:** The beach was okay, providing a nice place to relax. Despite a few minor issues, I was overall satisfied with my stay at the resort.

Chill Relax Love Sand & Sandals hotel paling cantik, selesa dan tenang untuk bercuti dengan family.. pemandangan tenang je... pasir bersih dan xterlalu crowded... Harga berpatutan, tasty food, nice staf... will come again next time

Big room, nice beach, decent breakfast quality and choice, probably what I need to get away from the daily hustle & bustles.

Nice place to relax, nice facilities

Beautiful and quiet hotel in Desaru. With yr own private beach, enjoy sunset at the beautiful beach, environment is relaxing. Lot of variety for breakfast. Will certainly come back. Highly recommend
