The location is unique and private with access to beach at a stone’s throw away. While not fully on board option, the dining and experiences are well worth the value.

For one of the most expensive resort in Desaru, everything should be ready even with no reservations. High tea at 3-5pm and when I requested for high tea at 4:45pm the server rejected the request saying they have finished serving high tea. Quite a shame for a luxury hotel. Been to others luxurious resorts and never get this kind of request turned down.

We had no idea what to expect as we booked last minute without doing any research nor looking at pictures. Also the name, One & Only Desaru, is somewhat non-descript, it doesn't evoke much... This is a 5-star resort, an oasis secluded from the world, large luxurious villas, private beaches and all -- and also, I guess, from paparazzis! That kind of a place. Top, top, top. Will return for sure.

Amazing property with some fantastic people and overall very good service. The engaged and present management team does a great job helping people grow, where necessary. Both restaurants are good, delivering on service, food and ambience. Personally I would like to see Hoshi deliver “a bit more”, move from good to outstanding, also to match the price tag. Looking forward to seeing the development over time.

We stayed two nights at One&Only Desaru Coast with our baby. The resort anticipated all our needs with a cot, changing table, sterilizer and bottle warmer. The room and food were impeccable. However, we were rather disappointed by the patchy service during breakfast. For two mornings, we had our orders forgotten. For the first morning’s order we had to ask twice before we were served. In the second breakfast our ordered dishes didn’t even come, and we gave up asking. Simple requests like baby cutlery and tissue paper took 10 minutes to arrive. For all the great service elsewhere in the resort, the breakfast service was just simply not up to standards for a resort of this calibre. All in all it could have been a perfect experience if not for the frustrating experience at breakfast.

全体的にとても良かったです。とても静かで、大人のリゾートホテルな感じでした。スタッフの方々も私達の姿を見ると声をかけて下さり、そう言う点もとても良かったです。ただ、一つ残念なことがありました。それは、朝のビュッフェにて、野菜（サラダ類）が全くなかったことです。これさえあれば満点だったと思います。

Top Hotel an sehr schöner Location. Grosser Sandstrand aber steinig in Küstennähe. Die Zimmer mit kleinem privaten Pool sind super. Morgenessen mit grosser Auswahl und top Qualität. Abendessen mit limitierter Auswahl und auf der teureren Seite. Aber der Küchenchef ist offen für individuelle Wünsche. Wer Privacy geniessen will ist hier am richtigen Ort. Zusätzlich gibt es zwei schöne Golfplätze in der Nähe.
