who knows that i will be visiting this part of malaysia again after my last trip many2 years back. which i don't remember which year. but i think i remembered it was with LS and her family. and i felt like we have been driving for so many long hours but did not reach the destination. 

but this time round, it was really beautiful - a beautiful trip as a whole. you can read my postings on desaru here i come to know my story and adventure coz this posting is only about my personal review on the resort itself.

i will share about the Couple Suite coz thats where we stayed in. they had a nice bar/ala casino counter at the living room with naughty games ideas. 😁 i find it cute. hahahah 😂 the ambiance was really nice and relaxing for honeymooners. the beach, the bar at the pool, the people who works there are friendly and helpful. perhaps if they have live band it would be nicer. or is it because we were there not on the day that they have live band? 

• date of visit: 4 Nov - 6 Nov 2018
• location: Sand & Sandals Beach & Spa Resort, Desaru Beach, Johor, Malaysia
• room: we booked 2 different suites, Couple Suite & Family Suite
• decor: cosy and romantic for the Couple Suite & fun and creative for the Family Suite. we stayed at the Couple Suite. 
• cleanliness of the room: 9 out of 10. 
• hotel service: It was okay at the reception and up to the room. but the technical service needs to be improved. had the bathroom sink sort of blocked and the repair was not to my satisfaction. and when i called again, the technical guy did not turn up. informed the reception but no response although at the reception, he said they will get someone to check. 
• cafe service: food was so so for me, but my other family members like it. (main cafe)
• food: 6 out of 10.
• pool: nice but not enough chairs by the poolside. 
• lift: needs to be taken care of. it was slow, and the door sensitivity needs to be checked and upgraded.
