- • Unfortunately there is much room for improvement in the service, and it’s simply not yet at the standard one would expect for a Mandarin Oriental. There was no initiative and lots of standing around chatting with the large number of staff servicing the resort. Ordered items were frequently forgotten, despite being confirmed. Chicken was sent in a meal confirmed to be ordered as vegetarian. The food is simply average at best, and there is very limited variety for a longer day with only one real place to eat, and lots of the flavours are very similar. The wine list is ridiculously short and expensive. No one seemed to be able to tell us what was and wasn’t included in the mini bar, we were told many contradictory things by various staff members. At check in we were told all non-alcoholic drinks were included only to be told this wasn’t the case and all drinks needed to be paid for but there was no price list available. In the end they honoured the complimentary non-alcoholic drinks and snacks as a goodwill gesture for the misinformation. Our biggest disappointment came at the end of the trip with the private transfer which was arranged by the hotel. Despite explicitly requesting 1 rear-facing baby seat and 1 forward-facing toddler seat, the driver arrived with a booster seat and a baby capsule which could not be fixed to the car. This resulted in our return to Singapore being delayed by 4.5 hours while other seats were obtained. This resulted in us crossing the border in peak hour, and we subsequently arrived at our hotel well after 8pm (instead of 3pm as planned). This was very stressful and really ruined the day with the kids being so overtired from the late arrival. Everyone at MO was very apologetic but it really was completely acceptable, especially with the driver fake installing the car capsule over and over only for me to have to demonstrate that it remained completely unfixed to the car.
A beautiful calm resort with lots of activities and good food.
Loved the property expanse and the calmness. Suites are very spacious with beautiful views. The recreation center is amazing with quality tennis and paddle courts. Food quality is pretty decent.

A memorable stay with unique resort features that would probably not be easily replicated elsewhere in Desaru.
Very clean villas, very big property with all the facilities you would expect in a resort. Buggy rides from the main lobby to the recreation club made it easy to travel around. And it was a nice change of impression - compared to other hotels I stayed in - when the games and equipment such as the pool table and the foosball table were all in very good condition. At the main lobby area, the pool was very nice to relax in, and the trees helped to shade us from the sun. The beach was clean, private, and exclusive so it was really peaceful, especially in the morning when I went to watch the sunrise on the clean sand. It was a pleasant surprise that all activities were complimentary, like kayaking and archery which the kids thoroughly enjoyed. The guided tour of the compound was also very educational. The rooms were very well maintained and allowed us to directly access the forest for a walk. There were thoughtful touches as well with a complimentary mini-bar that’s restocked daily, a high-quality Bose sound system, and a nice Bluetooth-enabled radio-alarm-clock for relaxing with nice music from my phone. Excellent food for breakfast as well. The focus on quality rather than quantity made the eating area look posh, and everything we ordered on the menu was delicious. Also loved the bread and pastry baked fresh daily, as well as the udon and the laksa station.

- • While it is definitely a luxurious experience, the price was rather steep compared to any other property in the entire area.
A short but memorable trip.
Awesome service from start till end. Ample parking. Short 10 mins drive to Hard Rock Hotel. Staff are all customer-oriented. Awesome breakfast & complimentary mini bar.
