Staycation at Hard Rock Desaru!

Enjoy the spacious room and cool design while staying at Hard Rock Desaru, walking distance to beach but the pools over here is slightly small compared to the others, however, i do enjoyed with the variety of food during breakfast, like the design where they decorated with different music instruments, unique experience as located quite a distance from jB city!

Desaru’s Rock & Roll 🎸

No trip to Desaru is complete without visiting Hard Rock Desaru Resort and take pic with its iconic guitar 🎸 Located an hour away from the hustle and bustle of the Johor Bahru city centre, this family friendly resort, is a perfect place to chill and have fun! With direct access to Adventure Water Park, and an awesome kids club, I can see why this place is a popular choice for families with young kids. A live band at night and light projected onto the building facade surely lives up the night atmosphere. Things to note: A valid ticket is required to enter and guests may purchase directly from the Adventure Waterpark Desaru Coast, with direct walking access available for in-house guests. 📍Hard Rock Hotel Desaru Coast #tripblazers #urbanexplorer #mytripvlog #desaru #hardrockdesarucoast

Cosy lobby bar

Tucked away in a corner right by the entrance to Westin Desaru resort, this lobby bar is a cosy space to grab a nice drink or a quick snack! There may not be a lot of seats here but guests can always take away their orders and sit in the large lobby itself, both are equally comfortable. I enjoyed a hot cup of cappuccino while gazing out at the rainy weather, it was such a mood. The atmosphere felt very tranquil too as it wasn’t very crowded and the interior was modern. As we visited during the Christmas season, there were festive decorations put up, including an incredibly tall Christmas tree! My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #malaysia #tripmoments #tripblazers

Free Activities at Westin Desaru Hotel

If there is one thing that we love about our stay at Westin Desaru Hotel, it would be the free activities or things to do at the hotel. Just at the lift lobby, there is a Foosball table for everyone to play and great news, it was free! My boys and I had a ball of fun just playing at the Foosball table. Parents, like myself, can rejoice as there is a kids club available at Westin Desaru. Everyday there are different activities organized for the kids to entertain them at the kids club. At the hotel lobby, you could also spot a kids play corner, like a mini playground, with cartoons playing on the TV. On the lower floor of the hotel, it is a beautiful garden where guests can take their morning/evening strolls. Nice water features with comfortable nest like chairs can also be found within the hotel, so that guests can take a seat and take a breather or to take pictures with. With so many free activities at Westin Desaru, this is one awesome hotel to consider for your next holiday! #wecreate

Splashing Moments at Adventure Waterpark Desaru 🏊‍♂️

Weather is hot and all you want to do is soak yourself in a tub or have a nice dip in the pool or just have a splashing good time at a Waterpark. Well, I did the latter and brought my kids to Desaru's Adventure Waterpark to cool off for the summer. Adventure Waterpark Desaru was massive, there was a water roller coaster ride, a viking ship, water dunk, numerous high and colourful water slides, etc. The place was family friendly and there's even a kids water playground where children of a younger age can play at. A lazy river is there where you can just float by the water and relax, and there's a wave pool which we all love. Overall, the water park is clean and equipped with numerous lockers to keep your belongings. Toilets were plenty and easy to locate if you need to shower after your swim. My kids and I played for hours there and we will be back again for a fun and cool time at Desaru's Adventure Waterpark! #wecreate

desaru for the 70.3 Ironman

Desaru Coast is a coastal resort area in Southeastern Johor, Peninsular Malaysia. The small town of Bandar Penawar serves as the area’s transport hub. Whether you are traveling alone, with your friends or family, there are more than enough activities to keep your stay fun and awesome and alternatively, if you want to keep it low-key and relaxed, the place can still give you the quiet and peace as it is still laid-back and not too crowded. For those bringing their kids in tow, there’s the Desaru Coast Adventure Water Park and the Ostrich Farms. If you love nature activities, a trip to the fishing villages in Tanjung Balau and the Desaru Fruit Farm are top options. And then there’s the food. At 40-50 RM or around 10 USD, you can already feast on affordable seafood as the town is coastal in nature. Keep it local and definitely there will be plenty of affordable but decent food options. The race started with a rolling start process in front of The Westin Desaru Coast Resort beachfront. The course is an inverted triangle swim, and in a clockwise direction. The swim was relatively smooth except for some little waves near the shore. Feedback from finishers were the presence of tiny shrimp-like creatures, or planktons. That’s open water swim for you and you will get through that. The last 700m swim back was a hurdle for some, as they were fighting to keep it rightmost on waves that were coming from right to left. From the swim out is a good 200-300 meter jog to the transition area. Another 200m jog from the transition area greets the athletes from where the bike mount area is. The long transition is worth it as this is one of the best bike courses in the triathlon racing circuit in Asia. What made the bike course pop out in this review is two things: First, the roads are silky smooth (as Zohan would say it), almost perfect and immaculate road conditions. Second, the canopy of trees and vegetation is a welcome sight, especially in the Jalan Ladang Siang section. With the sun barely out, the canopy provided shade to the athletes. It is truly a refreshing view. Despite the terrain being rolling and undulating, there is nothing too hard for most trained triathletes, except for a few steep sections. A cassette with 27 or 30 at the back is more than enough. Despite that, the course is not technical and plenty of straight sections can give triathletes time to keep their head down and steady. I thought the course would feature some coastal views, but the roadside view of plants, trees and vegetation does not disappoint. Course was well marked and plenty of marshals and police/security on hand to control the minimal traffic on the course. On my coverage, there was very minimal vehicle-cyclist interaction, and could say that the bike course was almost exclusive to the participants. Another long jog to the transition area greets the triathletes after the dismount area. As with any Siutheast Asian race, it should be hot on the

An interesting place to relieve stress, spend time with friends and family .A quiet place like this is suitable as a place to celebrate a wedding anniversary or because it has a large and comfortable area , furthermore here we can also see the sunrise and sunset#summervacation #awesomepic

Great Beach with Sunrise view rooms

#summerbreak #beach #desaru We booked the family room and it comes with 1 Queen size bed and 1 single bed. The room is spacious, comfortable, properly furnished, good view & clean. All rooms has Beach views. It’s a 3 mins walk to beach. The beach is nice, very clean and quiet. The swimming pool has alot of sand which is pretty normal since its just beside the beach but they do clean it daily. Staff was kind and helpful, all of our requests were properly and timely handled. There is a lot of dining options within 5-10 mins drive. Breakfast was average, simple food like bread, nasi lemak, nasi goreng, mee hoon goreng, porridge, noodles, egg stations and fruits which is sufficient for me. Spa was OK. Make reservation early. Cost RM190 for 60 mins for traditional massage.

Birthday weekend in Tioman Island resort😎

Impromptu weekend trip for my birthday was decided. Drive thru Johor Bahru then Kota Tinggi and took a ferry from Mersing Harbour Centre. First ever visit in this hidden gem Tioman Island resort named Tunamaya Beach Resort and enjoyed the quietness and beauty of the nature. Truly a must for those who are into nature trip and relaxing weekend trip. It’s a bucket list checked! 😉😎❤️
