Kota Tinggi Hotels with Wi-Fi

GOOD (well, more or less): *) I slept well as the bed is good enough. However, the bed is too short. I booked a room with king-size bed. Sleeping in the bed diagonally was the solution. *) The staff are friendly, but not all of them are able to speak English confidently. Especially housekeeping staff. BAD: *) Poor sound isolation. You can hear precisely what is being said in the hallway. And can hear what is happening in the neighbouring room. Many rooms have a connecting door, making the sound isolation even worse. *) ”breakfast included”. They only serve a buffet style, consisting of rice, noodles, (overly) hard-boiled eggs, chicken sausages, plus toast with butter, jam and kaya. And a choice between sweetened coffee or sweetened tea. It is not surprising that the breakfast room was pretty much deserted every time I was there: most people prefer to skip this. *) ”every room has wifi”. True, but the internet speed is so low that it isn't usable for reading email or a newspaper. Forget about watching photos or video. Unusable. *) The number lock on the safety box in my room was not working. As a solution the staff gave me the manager's key to it, for me to keep during my entire stay. Imagine this: if I would have had access to other rooms I would have been able to open their safety boxes. The staff did not record that I had that key in my possession. UGLY: *) The electricity outlet in the bathroom was a serious safety hazard. See attached photo. I don't know what they were thinking when they made this: I don't know what plug fits this dangling connector. The lack of isolation makes this dangerous in a room with a wet floor. I guess the conclusion of this story is that you get what you pay for. I paid RM107 per night for a so-called ”Executive Deluxe” room, which is an exaggeration for a standard double room.

- spacious room - hot water available always - didnt have hair dryer - tv channel always stuck and pop up ‘check cable and……..’ but cable always in good condition - friendly staff - iron and ironing board need to pick at reception Overall is satisfied stay, im happy with my stay at this hotel 👍🏻

Southern Village Hotel offers spacious and meticulously clean rooms, ensuring a comfortable and hygienic stay. The gym is well-equipped with a variety of exercise machines and free weights, catering to fitness enthusiasts. Although the swimming pool is small, it is convenient for a refreshing dip. Additionally, the hotel's proximity to Desaru Mini Zoo makes it an excellent choice for families and animal lovers looking to explore the local wildlife. Overall, Southern Village Hotel provides a great blend of comfort, cleanliness, and convenience for its guests.

Some areas within the resort looks used and needs refurbishment. The hotel provides a surprise for my birthday. There were balloons and congratory words on the mirror and a chocolate cake in the mini fridge. Appreciate their effort to provide refillable shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. Also 4 refilled glass bottled water upon arrival. However when the room was refreshed on the 2nd day, they provided plastic bottles water which we didn't understand why. As we stayed for 3D2N, and it was raining intermittently, there was not much to do but chill in the room and go to the gym. There were 3 restaurant options within the hotel. Decent food variety with 1. International spread, 1 with seafood and 1 with Italian food.

I was there for a business meet for 2 days , first look its a big hotel , the staff is extremely friendly , polite and treated us very well . The rooms are just wow, great interior and spacious . The food was very nice specially the breakfast was well spread. The swimming pool is big and very well laid out .

My second time staying at this property. Once again, they have never disappoint me and provide great service. The duty manager (I can’t recall his name but he is a mix blood, Philippines and Malay) remember us as the last we stay was end August. Room are spacious that can sleep 2A and 2C. Breakfast variety are good mixture. The only cons I would say it will be abit noisy in the late evening as the birds will be chirping loudly and if you stay at lower floor you can hear it. Also you will need a transportation to bring you to the hotel as it’s not at the desaru coast and if you drive there, do expect that your car will have birds poo, so you got to go for cleaning before you leave the property. The location wise is just right opposite local seafood/local cuisine, supermarket. You can drive further down for bakery shop and more food choices. Their room are clean and basic amenities like toiletries are there. They have daily hotel activities to entertain the kids and also daily shutter to bring you to the waterpark at desaru coast

Excellent hotel with everything. 4 restaurants. Sumptuous breakfast included. Private beach and Splash water park. Few mins drive to Desaru Adventure Water Park. Would definitely stay in this hotel again. Excellent services all round. Hotel is old but surprising well kept and clean. Got very old furniture and cabinets. Just that hot water not very hot and water pressure not high.

We stayed for 2 nights at the Sebana Cove Resort, it is hard to really measure the hotel and really depends what you’re looking for. The resort is fairly old (25 years old), but I would disagree that it is worn off, it just isn’t brand new and shiny. The staff couldn’t be more friendly / helpful, same can be said of the security guards. Parking is free and you can park close to your room, there are no lifts/elevators so book a ground floor room if this is likely to be an issue for you or your party. Wifi was fine for us, you get a 3-day token which is good for 2 devices, we were given 1 per person. For general surfing this was fine, I didn’t stream Netflix so can’t comment. I’m not on holiday to be glued to a device. The location is a long way from the main road / town, you really need your own transport to stay here, I tried (unsuccessfully) to get a Grab taxi to take us into town, have a willing and sober driver in your party! The Marina area and hotel grounds are very well kept, the swimming pool could do with some love, but on the whole everything is nice enough (keep in mind the room rate you’re paying). If you want the Westin in Desaru, stay there and pay the premium. For us, the biggest negative was the food, breakfast is charged at 35MYR per person, the offering is small and its first time we’ve ever had breakfast in Asia without fresh fruit. Don’t expect an egg station or any artisan bread / coffee etc etc. It is a simple offering… Lunch and dinner is a similar basic affair, around 7-8 local dishes ranging from 20-30MYR each, note that dinner stopped serving at 8pm, last orders at 7pm. Offsite there are restaurants but they involve driving, obviously you have Super Lobster and Jades Garden Corner for a wide selection of seafood within a 20 minute drive. To add, you cannot get Grabfood to deliver to the hotel….food options are limited. The menu does not reflect the photos you see in on the hotel website, if only they did! From the hotel you get a beautiful sunset across the Marina, sadly you won’t be enjoying sundowners with this view, beer (Tiger/Carlsberg) was the only alcohol available.

The room is clean. Nice view facing the see. The breakfast spread is very good. So many varieties. The staff at the reception is very polite his name is Adam. Checking in and out is very fast. We were even give late check out as we need to say our prayers.
