We stayed three nights on their LEGOLAND/Hello Kitty Town package - That was the purpose of the trip, and to keep costs down on our holiday. I was pleasantly surprised by this resort. The rooms are big and spacious - they've just been renovated, from what I can tell. The pool has a slide and some different areas so the... More

There is nowhere in the resort's official website which gives you an inkling of the view from from the various rooms. I booked the standard room only to find that it was only for garden view. I'm now looking at an empty car park with a giant palm tree just in front of my window. Upon check-in I had asked... More

We stayed here over Chinese New Year as we weren't very organised and didn't plan ahead! The hotel is a jump away from Singapore - I would recommend you contact Desaru fruit farm ferries to get over there. We organised transfers from the ferry port with the hotel, this as great and hassle free. Our room at the hotel was... More

Check in was slow, as staff was not able to find my booking due to last minute booking. The room was spacious and clean. However the toilet had not undergone any reno...black paint stain in the shower area, in terrible state. I've requested for non smoking room...but could see the burn mark at the basin area. Quite bad. Light bulb... More

A family holiday with young children. Location is great, good beach, great pool. Layout of hotel is nice too. Food is only average though and near Singapore prices, without the quality. As the hotel is out of town, alternatives for eating cannot be found on foot. I would stay there again, but prefer to come by own car. One thing... More

I think the room is clean and the service in general is slow but expected. There is a kids play area, although it's not fully function, still the kids love it. The room is clean, large, old Aircon but working well. The swimming pool is large and equipped with kids water feature. We were basically all day there. The beach... More
