What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Family Fun Extravaganza

The Lotus Desaru Waterpark was a blast for my kids! They loved the lazy river and the huge coconut that spills water everywhere. It was a perfect way for them to expend their energy and have a great time together. They couldn’t get enough of the small water playground! It's definitely a child-friendly environment that's enjoyable for families.

Spacious and Clean Rooms

I was really impressed by the spaciousness of our apartment during our stay. With a fully functional kitchen and dining area, it provided a comfortable setting for our family gatherings. The cleanliness was immaculate and added to our overall comfortable experience. Even with the slight wear, it was still very manageable.

Delicious Local Cuisine

We had a good dinner at the buffet restaurant where the local dishes were abundant and fresh. The dining area was well-maintained, and the food was served hot. I especially enjoyed the variety on the menu which suited our family’s tastes, from local favorites to international dishes. It was a lovely dining experience that we appreciated.

The resort offered a spacious and clean apartment perfect for families, complete with functional amenities like a kitchenette. The waterpark was enjoyable for younger kids, but the overall experience was marred by some service inconsistencies. Dining options were decent but could use more attention from staff. Additionally, the gym was underwhelming, not reflecting the expectations set for a spa hotel.
