Great food, excellent ambience, nice and big swimming pool, we recommend this place for a short week-end, however too quiet and empty during week days.Indoor and outdoor playground, staff very friendly and careful with kids!
Watersports during the day or a visit to the closest town, Bandar Penawar, a very nice and romantic waterfront in the evening, great buffet dinner under the stars , some karaoke singing and a drink at the bar, small things that make a perfect escape from the crowded city.

Kedai Makanan Dan Minuman 'Jun' located at small town Bandar Penawar - Two thumbs up!!! Chicken rice is great! Fragrant rice even better than the Hainanese Chicken Rice. Steam patin and sweet and sour talapia (fresh fish) are simply wonderful and delicious. Cheap and superb service.

If you have a car, the Good Luck seafood restaurant at Sungei Renggit, half an hour drive away from hotel, is good and reasonably priced. It was closed on Monday when we were there, so do check it out first.
Another cheap place for Nasi Padang is Bendar Penawar, about 5 mins from Desaru. There are about 2 coffee shops here but only one was opened during my visit. You can also stock up on supplies here.
If time permits, you can also drive down to Tanjong Balau beach (try to avoid noon as place does not have much shade). The beach looks like a good place for children to explore.

The staff told us that there is good seafood at Sungai Rengit and we got there easily based on her directions and managed to get a good meal in one restaurant called Good Luck Restaurant. If you drive there, it is around 25 km away from hotel.

There is a variety of tours and marine spots available at the activities counter though i did not make use of the opportunity to participate in any, preferring to bask in the sun along the beach.
I do not know if there is a village or town nearby where guests can have dinner. Maybe the hotel can provide a shuttle service or something?

If you like local food, my suggestion is to eat out at the nearby quiet town of Bandar Penawar; a 3 minute drive. The food is inexpensive compared to the fine establishments in the resort.
50RM will get you a seafood dinner for 2.
But this is possible only if you have a vehicle. The road to the town is actually dimly lit. The hotel staff will gladly give you directions. There is no public transport to the town from the resort.
There is also a few mini mart, stalls selling local snacks and a few restaurants. I have my lunch there on my first day. (RM20 for my whole family.)Mbr>
There is also a go-kart track nearby. The track is bumpy and the machine actually needs to be replaced. But for RM30 for 15-20 minutes of some thrills, you should'nt complain. The person in charge was kind enough to let my 2 year old daughter pillion on my kart for a few laps when there is no other kart on the track.
My advice is that you should never stay more than 2 nights here. On my previous trip, I stay for a night only.

We drove there from Singapore. Took a side trip to Sungai Rengit a Chinese town about 30 Km away. Very nice seafood at reasonable price.
