Great service from staff, friendly and helpful. Swimming pool is a little small but good enough if not crowded. Food options were bit limited but breakfast has a wide variety and changes daily.

This is my fourth stay at Hard Rock, and it always feels like home. I truly appreciate the thoughtfulness of offering breakfast as early as 4:30 AM for race participants, as well as the convenient bike cleaning towels and washing area. One area that could be improved is the Wi-Fi signal, which tends to be weak. Overall, though, it’s always a worthy and enjoyable stay. Desaru ironman 70.3

We had a wonderful 3-night stay at Hard Rock Hotel Desaru! From the moment we arrived, the service was top-notch and made our trip truly memorable. A special shout-out to the amazing staff at SESSIONS BY HARD ROCK — they were efficient, attentive, and always greeted us with a smile. Matt and his team deserve special mention for their outstanding hospitality. We also thoroughly enjoyed The Session live band — their performance added such great energy and entertainment to our evenings. I would also like to compliment your staff Eyka, who was serving at the noodle station during breakfast. Despite being busy tending to her station, she went above and beyond to fulfill my wife’s request for chili padi. Eyka personally delivered a bowl of chili padi to our table, all with a warm and genuine smile. Small gestures like these truly reflect the excellent service standards at Hard Rock Desaru. Thank you, Hard Rock Desaru, for an unforgettable experience — we can’t wait to return!

Decent property that’s over priced. Likes: Nice rooms, Waterpark located at the hotel itself. Dislikes: Arrival experience was poor, pretty non existent. Food choices were highly limited especially for vegetarians, the buffet had nearly the same items for 2 consecutive nights.
Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025

8/10

The stay was amazing. Unfortunately the superior double had 2 super singles instead of 2 queen beds which was what I expected. The hotel did compensate by giving us free entry to the water park so I think it’s alright. The rest of the stay was amazing with amazing service!

The staff has informed us that will need to pay tourism tax if it's not book by local. Got baby stool chair. Free to watch cartoon or disney movie, no youtube. Provide buggy service to beach. Clean, free parking, staffs friendly, food ok. Cons: It's will be good if kids playing area are free.
