5-Star Hotels in Johor, Malaysia

Room is clean and spacious enough for a one night staycation. Will good if there is handheld showerhead along with the rain shower, as some (like me) might not be used to it. Had good hot water & heater though! Location is super convenient, located above ksl mall, especially good if you want too watch late night movie or sing k. Basically u can do hair + do nails + watch movie + sing k + eat all in one place. Good if you don't wanna waste time driving/grab around.

First time staying with Hardrock Desaru. Everything was good from the car valet to check in, friendly staffs and cleanliness of the rooms. Only the foods we ordered for in room dining, all was TOO oily. I think they are overwhelmed with orders that day, as it was heavily raining and waiting time was about 45min to an hour. Breakfast was good too! Plus point : Waterpark entrance within the hotel.

Very spacious room for cheap price. The breakfast was okay, with variety of selections. The location is a bit far from JB city. Buy if you are looking to go to Legoland, this is the perfect spot. Plenty of restaurants nearby too.

The hotel lobby is quite clean and you can play Lego there. The lift is quite cool — there is a music player and flashing lights so you can dance with the music. The rooms are very clean with a room for the children and a room for the adults. Each floor has a specific room theme and on the 5th floor there is a swimming pool. Our room was pirate-themed. Also, in every type of room,there are a few questions that help you be able to get a Lego present, which is quite nice. Right next to the hotel, there is the theme park, the water park, and the sea life aquarium. We just went to the theme park but it was filled with lots and lots of rides and shows. We were scared of roller coasters so we didn’t ride them but every other ride and show we went to try. Man, it was fun. The swinging boats that spun around and around with people outside trying to splash you. The Ninjago show with all the ninjas fighting other bad ninjas. The lost kingdom adventure for you to fight and kill eerie monsters. The 4D movie with lots of water sprayed at you. The spinning tower that goes higher and higher up. The choo-choo train that spins in loops.Oh there is so much more that is super duper fun that I can’t say. Legoland is the perfect place to take your family for holidays and have a lot of fun!

Superb location , restaurant and mall are within walking distance We had a great stay! The location is superb — restaurants and shopping malls are just a short walk away, making it very convenient for dining and entertainment. A special thank you to Miss Nurin, who was friendly and efficient in helping us with the check-in process. Her warm hospitality made our arrival smooth and pleasant. The hotel also surprised us with complimentary chocolate drinks for the kids, which they absolutely loved. Overall, a very satisfying experience and would definitely recommend staying here.

Hotel was amazing as it was clean, well equipped and convenient. There are many food options nearby and services in the hotel is great! There are free shuttles to mid valley as well. The best thing about this hotel is their sound proofing whereby I couldn’t even tell there was a storm outside my room due to how quiet the room is!

Everything was great, the room was clean, and all the necessities were provided. The only issue was that we got a room with a damaged door, but it wasn’t a problem as long as it could still be locked. Definitely will come again.

From the moment we arrived at The Westin Desaru Coast Resort, we were surrounded by a sea of smiles. The warm welcome, top-notch service, and breathtaking views set the tone for an unforgettable stay. I usually don’t write reviews, but this time I had to—because the staff here are truly exceptional. Every single person we interacted with was genuinely welcoming, attentive, and eager to help. Their dedication to guest comfort really stood out. Breakfast was a standout experience, offering something for everyone. From Asian and Western cuisines to smoked fish and a variety of cheeses, the spread was impressive and delicious. Our room was incredibly comfortable—spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed for relaxation. The Westin Desaru Coast Resort exceeded all expectations. If you’re looking for a peaceful, luxurious getaway with great food and even better service, this is the place to be.

It was my first time visiting JOHOR there and I am so glad I chose this homestay. The place was very clean and comfortable, with everything I needed for a pleasant stay. The location is excellent, right in Johor Bahru city center, surrounded by restaurants, shops, and just a short walk to KSL. It was also very easy to take a Grab to Singapore or other attractions. The host was friendly and responsive, making check-in and check-out smooth. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend this homestay to others.

Loved everything about Anantara Desaru, the service, the designs, the private beach and the F&B is excellent. The staffs are friendly and warm and we really feel like home. Certainly loved to be back again! Thank you for having us!
