Desaru Accomodation

Desaru Golden Beach Resort, ☎ +60-7-8221101. Despite claiming four stars, the largest hotel in Desaru hasn't been renovated in twenty years and is falling to pieces, with poor hygiene and completely uninterested staff. Partial renovation started in 2009.

Lotus Desaru, Bandar Penawar ☎ +60-7-8842800. The refurbished Desaru Impiana, now fully open and Desaru's nicest place to stay by a long shot. Has waterslides, a beach bar and other activities for the whole family. Hotel staff are very courteous and friendly. Rooms and apartments are nice and renovated. Webpage lotusdesaru.com

The Pulai Beach Resort, ☎ +60-7-8222222. Formerly the Desaru Perdana Beach Resort, this is the second decent option, although it's not quite up to the four stars it claims or the heavily airbrushed pictures on the website. Rooms are old-fashioned and basic but clean. Direct beach access, large pool with water slide, waterfall, kiddie pool, watersports shop, basic gym with male/female saunas, kiddie play area, two restaurants, lobby bar. www.pulaigroup.com/PulaiDesaru/index.html

Sebana Cove Resort, ☎ +60-7-8266688. Golf resort on a river in the jungle (no beach), accessible by direct ferry from Singapore's Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal and hence popular among Singaporeans for a quick spot of reasonable priced golf. However, few spend the night, and the rooms are in dire need of renovation. www.sebanacove.com
