Sand & Sandals Desaru Beach Resort & Spa

Sand & Sandals has always been our choice resort when we stay in Desaru. We used to stay at this resort at least 4 to 5 time a year during 2006 till 2019. The rooms are large and very cozy and comfortable with easy access to the restaurants. Staff are very friendly and always ready to help out with a smile. Then Covid hit and we everything went haywire. We decided to return to this resort (from 15-18 April 2026) after a long absence. The resort still has its charm. Will make this our go to resort for our future trips. Cheers! Suhana & Imran

Stayed at Sand & Sandals Resort in Desaru and it was such a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The resort has a spacious, tropical vibe with big rooms, comfy beds, and a nice balcony to unwind. The pool area is great for chilling, and the beach is just a short walk away — perfect for morning strolls and golden hour photos. Service was friendly, and the location made it easy to get around for food, activities, and day trips. It’s a solid choice if you want a fuss-free, beachside stay that feels calm and refreshing. Overall, a pleasant resort for couples, families, or a girls’ trip getaway. 🌊💛

The room lighting was quite dim, and the fragrance in the room was very strong — something to keep in mind as not everyone may like it. Breakfast was alright; the roti prata was decent, but the rest of the dishes were around a 2/5 for me.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and would definitely visit again. Everything is excellent.

Great getaway and off peak season means no waiting and less crowded. Fun play at pool and just chill at the beach

It was a pleasant stay but expensive for the room facing the sea.

Overall the stay was pretty satisfactory.The resort is well maintained.Really enjoyed the resort as not crowded.The ambience was peaceful good for relaxing. The beach is clean and easy access. The room was very clean and spacious.Breakfast was wonderful with variety of foods. Good choice for those like to relax with nice views.

This is an extremely awful experience staying with this hotel. 2 adult and 1 kids when I asked one more towel they said must exchange 1 towel before they could give us a new towel. Imagine if everytime we want shower then need to give another towel?? Next we asked one more drinking water for the room. They said RM 3 per bottle. All staff are so rude. A girl name call Ann… no response, do thing very slow. As to open kids playground also cannot. Must wait until security guard.
