Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    It was the monsoon season, do check if the beach is closed. There is a gorgeous strip of the beach but the management practies good due diligence to keep customers safe. The same time I was there, there was a drowning at the Desaru Westin Beach. Semi amusement park, spa, gym and games available. Food is overpriced but very good. The resort is well run and people are friendly.

    Great staff, great hotel! Had accidentally left my laptop in my room and checked out. Only remembered about it the next day. Staff were very friendly and helpful, found my laptop, kept in safe until I picked it up. Great hotel with great location to stay a bit distance from crowded resorts by the beach. Reachable by car to various restaurants and beaches around. Great stay with extra pillows and good wifi! Pleasant with my vacation this time with 3 kids. Definitely be back again!
