I recently stayed at this resort for a weekend getaway with family, and there were some highs and lows. The location is absolutely stunning with easy access to the beach, perfect for relaxing. The rooms were spacious but unfortunately quite dated and not as clean as I hoped. Dining options were a mixed bag; while the buffet offered a good variety, some menu items were overpriced and not up to par. Overall, it's a decent choice for a short family trip, but it could use some improvement in terms of maintenance and dining quality.

6.6/10

Our recent stay at Lotus Desaru Resort was quite a mixed bag. The spacious resort offers a lot of fun activities for families, especially at the water park, which the kids thoroughly enjoyed. However, the overall experience was marred by some maintenance issues and a chaotic dining experience that felt more like a food court than a relaxing getaway. While the breakfast and dinner had some good options, the noise and mess took away from the experience. It's definitely a family-friendly place, but not ideal for those looking for a quiet retreat.
