Top Bandar Penawar Hotel Reviews

Tunamaya Beach & Spa Resort – Desaru

10/10 Excellent

"It was great - right by the beach. Breakfast was okay - wasn’t the best but it was good. The range was very good - make sure you have the omelette and french toast! Room was good - air con was cold. The doors don’t close fully so had a few mosquitos. Would defo stay here again!"

Lotus Desaru Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"Great for travelers with kids. There is a water park at the hotel and some sea activities. Wanted a place to chill, and the cafes are far away from the hotel rooms and are very quiet at night. Room was very convenient, microwave fridge, so getting food back to room to eat is the way to go. Toilets are kinda old. Not easy to flush."

Sand & Sandals Desaru Beach Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"The whole property , grounds and buildings , were all clean and immaculately kept . The staff were all friendly and very efficient . Meals were all excellent , including the breakfast buffet which had heaps of options . We were a little frustrated that there were " No beach swimming because of Jellyfish " signs up when several staff informed us that swimming was safe . However the swimming pools were a delight to use ! The mini golf was a waste of money as the " greens " were all concrete , and were uneven when hitting the ball making it impossible to line up a shot properly . Overall , we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sand and Sandals and would come back again ."
