“This Desaru resort aims squarely for family appeal, with its own water slide and children's playground setting a playful tone; halal dining options and a focus on kid-friendly activities are clearly a plus. However, maintenance appears inconsistent, given some past experiences; with that being said, the location near Tanjung Balau Beach offers undeniable appeal.”
