The best part of this property is the access to the beach. Its somewhat a private beach for the property itself. The breakfast layout was good, with Live egg & Roti-Pratha counter. The staff is very helpful & polite to converse with. Although an old property but with its rustic look it even gets better. Will positively stay again whenever we visit Desaru next.
