Our stay at Hard Rock Hotel Desaru Coast was truly wonderful! The hotel’s vibrant rock-and-roll theme, combined with its luxurious amenities, made it the perfect getaway for our family. The rooms were impeccably clean, spacious, and thoughtfully designed with the signature Hard Rock vibe. The pool area was fantastic, offering something for everyone—a fun kids' pool and a relaxing poolside bar for adults. The breakfast buffet was impressive, with a wide variety of delicious options to suit every palate. What stood out most was the lively atmosphere created by the music, décor, and live entertainment. It added an extra layer of fun and excitement to our stay. However, while the overall service was friendly and accommodating, there is room for improvement in staff efficiency. Some processes, including check-in and requests for assistance, were slower than expected. A little more promptness would have elevated the experience even further. Despite this, the overall experience was fantastic, and we’d happily return for another stay. Hard Rock Hotel Desaru Coast is a must-visit for anyone looking for a unique and energetic getaway! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We had an absolutely fantastic experience on the Sungai Lebam River Cruise! From the moment we were picked up, the service was seamless and professional. The transfer was comfortable, punctual, and made the entire journey stress-free. The river cruise itself was a serene escape into nature. The lush mangroves, tranquil waters, and diverse wildlife created a picturesque and memorable setting. Our guide was knowledgeable and engaging, sharing fascinating insights about the ecosystem and its inhabitants, which added depth to the experience. The highlight of the tour was like stepping into a magical realm. It was a breathtaking and peaceful moment that will stay with me for years. Overall, this tour was well-organised, informative, and relaxing—a perfect mix for anyone looking to explore the beauty of Sungai Lebam. Highly recommend this to families, couples, or anyone seeking a unique and enchanting adventure in Desaru! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The room is quite spacious and has 2 floors. The room and balcony are clean, and there is a place to hang wet clothes on the balcony. The management for check in and check out is really fast, even though there are many customers. The best.
