Desaru Beach is only 98km / 11/2 hrs drive from Johore Baru Town. From Singapore, I would recommend a casual drive from 2nd Link, the roads condition is good and signs board well set-up and prominent. All the resort requirements, including swim wear and nice restaurants are available at the Pulai Desaru Beach. Everything is under one roof, there is no need for further travel when you are comfortably housed in the beautiful resort style room.

Please leave for the hotel before it gets real dark if you are not familar with pitch dark driving, when going to Sungei Ringgit area for seafood.
If you are spending more than 1 night in Desaru & want to explore, it is recommended that you go to the ostrich farm, fruit farm and Sebana Cove (enjoy the view). They are all about 30 mins drive from the hotel.

I drove from Singapore to Desaru on Good Friday, hell of a jam at JB, then has to go all the way up almost to KT before heading down to Desaru. Would like to see the soonest completion of the E-W highway which would shorten the driving time to Desaru.

Desaru is a nice place to visit. If you get bored at the beach or pool, you can just rent a bicycle and go on a ride to a number of interesting spots.

We got around in our own car, so no problem.
The number of interesting spots in the area is limited.
The Fruitfarms and the Kota Tinggi waterfalls are certainly worthwhile to visit.

1)Detail map for driving from Desaru to resort
should be on the website. Got lost & had to call them for directions.
2)Coffeehouse food - expensive on the whole - Asian-spicy, oily; Japanese-OK. Sat BBQ-expensive.
Chinese restaurant closed during our stay - any reason?

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?

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.

1) Prepare to spend most of the time in the hotel because nothing much to see (or visit) in the nearby area.
2) We got lost after we reached the town of Kota Tinggi, hence, better to have a map to the hotel before departure.

we actually cycle from pengarang to desaru. the route was quite tough especially at the last 11 km, where the route becomes very hilly, so we have to go up-hill then down-hill. very energy consuming. holiday seeker should always drive in or take the taxi. leeave the cycling to the adventures seeker.
desaru beach is quite average. rating is about 7 out of 10.
DId not visit much of the nearby places. Actually attempted to cycle to the nearby small town, Bandar Penawar, but then because limited time, so we didn't go there either.
