Hotel facilities were good. Due to the size of the hotel, some rooms were pretty far from the lobby, would require some time to walk. Loved that the in demand movies were quite updated and you can spend time in your room for a movie marathon. Breakfast selection was alright, also had a section for kids. Generally would return if on non peak periods.

Lights not working when checked in to the room. Called for help to repair it. Took awhile to come. Was using the tap water and suddenly the water dispensed out from the tap was super yellow and muddy. Super disgusting as I was washing up. Again called the front desk and they came to fix the filter in the tap. No apologies from the hotel. Almost like this wasn’t the first time such thing happened. For a reputable 5 star hotel, these encounters are terrible.

Excellent hotel located at a quiet place with water park view and it is just a stone throw away from the beautiful beach. Fantastic breakfast and great live band every night. Really enjoy the 2 night stay. Did not enter the water park but it seems quite exciting too.

Excellent!
I love this hotel. It's huge with many rooms. The service is excellent. Salman has been very helpful at the concierge. He is friendly, attentive and professional in doing his job. The decor is fabulous and the breakfast spread is good. The only downside is the transportation at night to go back to the hotel. There is no Grab available and taxis will charge you with a very high price. I think Desaru must look into this matter. It's hard for us to move about as tourists. Time is so precious to us. Overall, Hard Rock Hotel is highly recommended! A very pleasant and relaxing stay.

A pleasant stay
The room is clean and comfortable, offering a pleasant stay. Guests can enjoy convenient shuttle service to the Westin’s private beach across the road, and the nextdoor waterpark offers multi-entry privileges exclusively for Hard Rock guests. However, the breakfast falls short of a 5-star standard.

Desaru stay
My stay was pleasant. Breakfast is very good. Very extensive. Pool is very small. Share beach with Westin. I had dinner buffet in Westin. $50 SG and we love it. Will probably stay in Westin next as location is in front of the beach.

Lively atmosphere at night due to the live band. Music can also be heard from the Water Park. Generally a very 'happening' hotel. Good vibes. Room is dim. Would be better if room can be brightened as some travellers are there for meeting and at night some might need to work in the room. Check-in & out could be at standard time (3pm & 12 noon). The hotel check-in/out time surprises me (4pm & 11am)...though this can be negotiated with the Reception.
