"I had a wonderful stay at Lotus Desaru Resort & Spa. The breakfast spread was excellent with plenty of variety, and the sea was clean and refreshing. The rooms were neat and comfortable, which made the stay pleasant.
That said, the resort hasn’t seen any major renovations in the past 13 years, and some of the same complaints still remain. The bird area also looks a little unkept — perhaps a bigger, better-maintained space would make it more enjoyable for guests. Another small suggestion is to have a larger TV in the living area since there’s only one television provided.
On a positive note, having a Starbucks franchise run by Lotus Resort on-site is a great addition and makes the stay even more convenient.
Overall, Lotus Desaru remains a good choice for families and groups, offering value and a relaxing environment. With nearby competition like Westin and Hard Rock, I do hope the resort invests in further upgrades to keep up with today’s standards."
