It was my first time booking an apartment for my family stay.
Staff from Fuju Homestay were most helpful even before we started our stay at their property. They were most proactive in briefing and guiding us of the check-in procedures as well as directional and travel options to R&F from CIQ.
A little challenge I faced was retrieving the key card from the mail box. No fault of theirs, just my bad eyesight doesn't work well with small size numbers and glare from the lights in the mail box room didnt help much.
Upon entering our unit, we were greeted by a very prestine clean condition of the place. The place is very well kept and clean. We had a minor issue with the fan remotes, Fuju staff was extremely fast in their response (faster than calling 999, haha...) Though we didn't manage to resolve the issue, it was still a pleasant and enjoyable stay.
Just some comments for improvement would be the labelling for the soap and shampoo. Was a little too small and almost blended in with the background of the tiles. They also have the most interesting bidet spray I've ever come across. Took me awhile to figure out how it really works.
Hopefully the surrounding areas of the building will improve quickly. Not much amenities but grabbing around was still convenient. I wish we had more time to explore other parts of the property. We're looking forward to booking another stay there for our next visit. Many thanks to the staff who attended our fan remotes issue, unfortunately forgot to get his name. His help was much appreciated. Overall a very good experience and definitely worth returning for future visits.
P/S: Could not upload the video on how to use the bidet spray. Will post on my Google review if possible.
Room@22nd Flr was very spacious, clean and well maintained. Location is great as situated within Mid Valley Southkey Shopping Mall and easy to commute from JB Sentral (approx 35mins J15 bus ride@RM$1.70). Check-in by Alex was smooth and took less than 15mins and check-out took less than 5mins; very efficient despite hotel being ”sold out” during stay. We didnt use the pool or gym, only had ”welcome drinks”; small pink coloured lychee flavoured at the 28th Flr. Breakfast was ok though quality can be improved; salad greens not fresh, oily sambal and hardered rice but service was tops despite the crowd.

Our stay at KSL Hotel was pleasant. We enjoyed our stay because of the hotel staff's great service. The location was great as the hotel was just beside the KSL Mall which was very much convenient for us. There were many eateries and nice foods around KSL Hotel.

A large 20-30 years old hotel building. Clean , very large guest room with city view on the high floor. Fast check in and friendly staff. Very good buffet breakfast. Good water pressure at the high floor bathroom.
None smoking rooms are available, but sometimesl smell of the smoking still coming from room ventilation.
Good room price. Will stay again if I come to Johor Baru.

This hotel is located right on the Johor Strait, and from my room, I had a great view of the bridge connecting Malaysia and Singapore. Both the room and the bathroom were spacious and comfortable. The buffet breakfast was also excellent and plentiful. It's a grand hotel with a impressive feel, yet it's very well-managed. A tall young man at the front desk was particularly helpful; he even spoke Chinese, which made communication very smooth. Since the hotel is quite large, I wasn't sure where to park, and he personally escorted me to the parking lot behind the hotel. That was a really thoughtful gesture, and I'd like to express my gratitude to him here!

Had a great stay at Holiday Inn Johor Bahru City Centre for the 2nd time! Staff were friendly and the room was comfortable. Location is super convenient too.
One concern though - the lift access to guest floors felt a bit too open. Anyone can press the button and get up to the floors, even with the card reader being overridden. Feels like a safety risk, especially in a busy city centre hotel. Hope they look into beefing up security for guests' peace of mind.
Overall, would still recommend - but hope they address this!”

Great Stay with Beautiful Lighting
We had a wonderful weekend stay at this apartment. The place looks amazingly cool, especially with the LED lighting that gives the whole apartment a very modern and cozy vibe. The kids absolutely enjoyed the jacuzzi, which was definitely one of the highlights of our stay. Overall, everything was comfortable and we had a pleasant experience.
Just a few small suggestions that could make the stay even better. It would be helpful if extra plastic bags for rubbish could be provided. Also, some additional lighting at the makeup table would be great, as it is quite dark and we had to do our makeup using the toilet mirror instead.
Another suggestion would be to include some TV channels. When travelling with elderly family members, they usually prefer watching normal TV rather than Netflix. Providing a few extra towels would also be appreciated.
The sandals provided were fine, and the bidet is definitely a big plus point!
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would still recommend this place.

Great location. Clean and functional. Has some nice touches like the stuff in the lobby. Comfortable bed. The room was stuffy and needs better ventilation and maybe dehumidifier and some scent. The check-in lady was super nice but the check-out one was not very friendly.

However 2 feedback
When we were checking in on a Sat eve at 5pm we were waiting for 6 rooms almost 45 mins and we were the only ones.
Not sure whats the delay caused by as i noyice the staff attending to us was looking at his screen for a long time.
Safety Proposal
While your toilet is spacious there is a high risk of falls esp for kids and elderly as yr toilet shower area does not have the safty gran bars to steady ourselves while imunder the shower and soaping on a slippery wet floor without friction.
The tiles should be layered with rought or fast drying texture for safety.
So either lace the tile surface or installl saftey bars or both.
Do review this urgently..No one should fall inside the toilet while bathing esp since its only the overhead rain shower and no handheld shower piece.
Hope this suggestion help to prevent accidental falls waiting to happen.
Decided to book last minute - initially cant book for family of 2A2C.
WhatsApp them, replies was….sluggish.
Finally manage to book and the room was…not like the initial ones. Previous booking it was really great. Room size room cleanliness.
The room we got was small but there’s multiple hairs on the carpet. Especially with kids, that was just a no no.
Call them via the phone provided, was put on hold and the line got cut off 🙂
Tried calling again, took quite a while before finally got connected.
Upgrade the room for RM80.
Whatever that was book on trip wasn’t as per advertised.
Second, it was drizzling. So we went downstairs to take a look at the swimming area. There’s no towels. Call the front desk ask if the swimming pool is open, they mention “I think it’s open”
Breakfast was subpar.

GGuest UserClean room. Friendly & helpful staff. Location not so convenient cos of the RTS construction. Swimming pool & other facilities on level 13 under renovation during our stay. Shower screen glass door faulty, cannot close completely, water flow out when we shower. Whole toilet floor wet. Floor tiles not the anti fall tiles. Breakfast was so so only. Lots of varieties but taste not there. I rather they focus on fewer dishes and taste good.

TTzeXuanOur stay at Sheraton Desaru Coast Resort was absolutely delightful. The hotel boasts a beautiful environment with a modern yet comfortable design. Our room was clean and spacious. While it's a bit of a walk from the beach, the price was truly a steal. The staff were friendly and professional, making us feel right at home. The breakfast selection was extensive and of good quality. Overall, the atmosphere was very relaxing, perfect for families or a short getaway.
GGuest UserIt was a fabulous short stay, the room was very spacious with a large bathroom too. There's lots of cupboard space for storage, bedding is great, soft duvet and pillows. The shower jet is strong, the walls and floor are very clean, the hotel just opened about half a year ago. Everything works. The location is far from the centre, no decent restaurants or shopping areas nearby unless taking a Grab or hotel shuttle to the city center. SKS shopping city attached to the hotel is known to be opening soon in May 2026. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is nice, with a large selection of very fresh food. The swimming pool is beautiful with lukewarm temperature even at evening.

GGuest UserI've stayed at this hotel several times now, and I'm always satisfied. The facilities are great, the staff service is excellent, and the location is convenient with all sorts of delicious food nearby. I'll definitely keep choosing this hotel in the future. 👍👍👍👍👍
AahshanStayed at Sand & Sandals Resort in Desaru and it was such a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The resort has a spacious, tropical vibe with big rooms, comfy beds, and a nice balcony to unwind. The pool area is great for chilling, and the beach is just a short walk away — perfect for morning strolls and golden hour photos.
Service was friendly, and the location made it easy to get around for food, activities, and day trips. It’s a solid choice if you want a fuss-free, beachside stay that feels calm and refreshing.
Overall, a pleasant resort for couples, families, or a girls’ trip getaway. 🌊💛

GGuest UserFacilities: The facilities are a bit old, which is understandable since the hotel itself is quite old.
Hygiene: Despite the hotel being old, it was very clean. The room had no strange smells, and the beach was also clean with no rubbish.
Environment: The environment was absolutely fantastic, haha! The beach is right outside, and when we went, there was hardly anyone around. It was incredibly relaxing, and we could see the sea right from our room.
Service: The staff were very welcoming. The buffet was decent; I especially loved the soft-boiled eggs. Although the air conditioning, hairdryer, and sink drainage were all broken on the first day of check-in, and they couldn't fix it overnight, they did move us to another room on the second day. Overall, I'd give it a 4 out of 5.
MMFYDFAThis was our second stay since 2015, and while the rooms are spacious, the resort now feels dated. I was particularly upset by the cleaning policy; our room had no ”Do Not Disturb” signage provided, and housekeeping entered to clean while we were out for breakfast without our request.
As I prefer to secure my personal belongings before anyone enters, this lack of privacy was very uncomfortable. The resort has good beach access, but they must provide door tags and respect guest boundaries. A neutral experience overall compared to our first visit.
EElenalowSuch a beautiful places for ideal short vacation. Strongly recommended hotel if you visiting Desaru. All the staff very friendly and helpful. Good to be here and they help us decorate the room and free us a birthday cake as well.
