From the moment we arrived at The Westin Desaru Coast Resort, we were surrounded by a sea of smiles. The warm welcome, top-notch service, and breathtaking views set the tone for an unforgettable stay. I usually don’t write reviews, but this time I had to—because the staff here are truly exceptional. Every single person we interacted with was genuinely welcoming, attentive, and eager to help. Their dedication to guest comfort really stood out. Breakfast was a standout experience, offering something for everyone. From Asian and Western cuisines to smoked fish and a variety of cheeses, the spread was impressive and delicious. Our room was incredibly comfortable—spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed for relaxation. The Westin Desaru Coast Resort exceeded all expectations. If you’re looking for a peaceful, luxurious getaway with great food and even better service, this is the place to be.

Great for a short getaway from Singapore. Beautiful location. Facilities and rooms are well maintained. Hotel staff really friendly and helpful. Room for improvement on the food. But there are other options nearby (less than 10mins drive away), so should be ok for those who drive.

Services at lobby was excellent. Swimming pool is rather small and activities at beach are limited. Spread of breakfast is very good. We had lunch at the same place but disappointed.

Overall the stay is good. If you are looking to recharge and chill, I do recommend. I enjoyed the food as well as the hospitality of the crews. For improvement, some of the amenities are dated. It will be good to enhance these amenities. Suggest to have live music at night. Beach area (not sure if this is within the hotel's control), but it will be good to revamp the whole beach area, making it a cleaner and more comfortable place to catch sunrise and for more beach activities. I see a lot of potential for the hotel to improve on. Keep up the good work!

Stayed one night at The Westin and had a very relaxing time. The room was clean, spacious, and super comfortable. However, the bed and pillow were a bit too soft for me, didn’t sleep as well as but cozy vibe the room — perfect for a good rest. Big shoutout to the Desaru fried rice — it was the highlight of the meal! So flavourful and satisfying. Overall, a short but enjoyable stay

From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warm hospitality, stunning ocean views, and the calming sound of waves. The room was spacious, modern, and opened up to a view that made waking up early worth it! 🛏️✨ Mornings were spent walking on the soft sandy beach, afternoons by the infinity pool, and evenings enjoying delicious meals with fresh seafood and local flavors. 🍤🍹 Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a relaxing retreat just a short drive from the city. Can’t wait to be back!

Sea View room is superb. The room, king bed & bathroom is very big & clean. Enjoyed awesome sea & sky view for sun set and sun rise from balcony. Abt 3-5mins walk to the 2 nice swimming pools & the beach. They have shuttle bus to Adventure Waterpark also. Buffet breakfast is superb, a lot of variety. The other 2 restaurants here the food are nice & price is reasonable. Very enjoy & relax to stay here! We will definitely come back again :)
