The hotel is a bit secluded, not ideal for moving around with kids, but it's near water adventures for guests. The rooms had some issues like a musky smell, poorly lit toilet, and malfunctioning room keys. The service provided was pleasant, with patient and helpful staff, but there were issues with fixing TV remotes. The location is remote and may not suit everyone, but it's within reasonable distance to main attractions in Desaru. The dining experience was a little inconsistent, but not terrible. The hotel lacks some facilities like a drying rack in the balcony, which would enhance guests' experience.
