Kota Tinggi Villas

GOOD (well, more or less): *) I slept well as the bed is good enough. However, the bed is too short. I booked a room with king-size bed. Sleeping in the bed diagonally was the solution. *) The staff are friendly, but not all of them are able to speak English confidently. Especially housekeeping staff. BAD: *) Poor sound isolation. You can hear precisely what is being said in the hallway. And can hear what is happening in the neighbouring room. Many rooms have a connecting door, making the sound isolation even worse. *) ”breakfast included”. They only serve a buffet style, consisting of rice, noodles, (overly) hard-boiled eggs, chicken sausages, plus toast with butter, jam and kaya. And a choice between sweetened coffee or sweetened tea. It is not surprising that the breakfast room was pretty much deserted every time I was there: most people prefer to skip this. *) ”every room has wifi”. True, but the internet speed is so low that it isn't usable for reading email or a newspaper. Forget about watching photos or video. Unusable. *) The number lock on the safety box in my room was not working. As a solution the staff gave me the manager's key to it, for me to keep during my entire stay. Imagine this: if I would have had access to other rooms I would have been able to open their safety boxes. The staff did not record that I had that key in my possession. UGLY: *) The electricity outlet in the bathroom was a serious safety hazard. See attached photo. I don't know what they were thinking when they made this: I don't know what plug fits this dangling connector. The lack of isolation makes this dangerous in a room with a wet floor. I guess the conclusion of this story is that you get what you pay for. I paid RM107 per night for a so-called ”Executive Deluxe” room, which is an exaggeration for a standard double room.

- spacious room - hot water available always - didnt have hair dryer - tv channel always stuck and pop up ‘check cable and……..’ but cable always in good condition - friendly staff - iron and ironing board need to pick at reception Overall is satisfied stay, im happy with my stay at this hotel 👍🏻

Unlike what Agoda had called it, This is not a resort. It is more a serviced apartment. Had we known this, we would have appreciated the suite, quiet beach, the minimart or the lonely pool and even the slow wifi. But we were looking for a resort, with choice of food and running amenities…we were in Desaru for 3 days with family visiting us. We checked in and the reception refused to give more than one key when the suite had occupancy for 4. She did though after talking to her manager. We requested the kind hearted lady at the cafe to please arrange for some food when she said that she couldn’t because buffet food was getting served for a teachers’ conference. Finally she agreed and the food came fast. Choice was sparing but it was fast. But they didn’t accept credit cards and we spend most of our money we changed with money changer to pay them. That was it. We got in the car immediately after lunch and checked in to another resort. Now lying on their beach chair by the ocean and writing the review. We discussed, perhaps we need to reconsider using Agoda also.

We booked the resort for our honeymoon. Requested for a honeymoon decoration for our room and was not disappointed by it. We received a corner seaview room which has a bit more privacy. Buffet breakfast has a variety of choices. Spent most of the time relaxing by the bar facing the sea. Staff was very friendly. Only downside was the aircon wasn’t strong at times.

Very good resort for family with kids, the water theme park is very popular. I was allocated with a room at ground floor, surprised that it's still vety quiet for me to enjoyed a good sleep. The staffs here are very polite and everyone with smile. Although its facilities looks a bit run down but cleanliness is good. Will be back again.

Beautiful place, both the pools were great and they had enough activities to keep kids busy. Room was excellent with comfy and clean sheets/towels. Personally enjoyed the bicycle rides and walks within the resort. Buffet spread was good and in room dining was good too. Will visit again
