Desaru is the closest you may have a beach when coming from Singapore. However, it seems that this spoils the local hotels pretty much. We can on a quick trip and decided to stay because the beach is really nice, As anything else was fully booked (was school holidays) or even worse we took the Golden Beach Hotel. Pricing was... more

Upon our check in the room is out of water, the air condition remote control is out of order. housekeeping staff sending the baby cot witout take off his shoes n the toilet bowl is leaking....the things that make me more angry is during night time almost 2am the disco pub near the beach is still operating n during check... more

Before selecting the place I read several reviews and had a mixed feeling. I decided to go with it based on the area, reviews of the resort and other resorts reviews. I dint have great expectations based on the Reviews but I was pleasantly surprised to see facilities, rooms and service of the resort. I stayed in an Executive Villa... more

Seriously the worst hotel ever. My husband actually compares it to army camps back in Singapore and says that some camps are way better than this. The BBQ they served us on the last night gave half our group food poisioning. Their Sunshine Cafe isn't even air-conditioned, swarming with flies and mosquitoes everywhere. My in-laws staying just next door had... more

I booked an executive villa room for 1 night, checking in on 13 June. Before the stay, I had read up on reviews of the resort and was quite dismayed at all the unfavourable feedbacks. Therefore, I was mentally prepared for an 'unpleasant' stay on 13 June. On the day of check in, the reception upgraded us to the executive... more

I stayed here with my girlfriend when we just wanted to get out of Singapore to relax for one weekend. I had stayed here several times in recent years and always found it to be a delightful place and an excellent value...not the swankest beach resort in the world, but it is close to Singapore and the beach is very... more

I wish to highlight my horrendous experience at Desaru Golden Beach Hotel to warn the general public of this place. On 16 May 2008, my boyfriend and I embarked on what we thought would be a relaxing 3D2N getaway for the long weekend. It never occurred to me that it would be such a nightmare and life-threatening experience. When we... more

Just ended a 2D1N tour in this hotel with a total of 19 passengers including a kid. Honestly, it was very much "scary" to be reading all these reviews only after my group had paid for the entire tour. Checked in about 6pm on 30th Aug and pleasantly surprised that the check in area was empty. We went forward to... more
