1. How To Go To Lotus Desaru Beach Resort From Singapore
Before even looking at the features and attractions of the resort, it is important to know the resort location and the easiest and comfortable way to get there. The Lotus Desaru Beach Resort is located on the Kota Tinggi coastline in Johor Province close to the Malaysian-Singapore border.
There are several ways to access the resort from Singapore. From Johor Bahru, it will only take you little more than an hour’s drive to get to the resort. From Singapore, the best way is through Kota Tinggi.
1.1 Singapore To Lotus Desaru Beach Resort By Ferry
Ferry to Lotus Desaru, how? There are 2 routes below you can refer to reach Lotus Desaru by ferry:

1.2 Singapore To Lotus Desaru Beach Resort By Bus
While there is public transport to the Lotus Desaru Beach Resort, it can’t be relied on as the public buses are normally far, stuffy and uncomfortable when one finally manages to come through.
There are a few buses you can hop onto from Johor Bahru to Lotus Desaru Beach Resort. Do note, the journey is long and tedious and you need to transit buses.
Step 1: Take any Causeway Link bus from Singapore to JB Sentral.

2. Lotus Desaru Beach Resort Review
The Lotus Desaru Resort goes by the tagline “a Resort for all reasons” and that is not very far from the truth.
As a matter of fact, the description is an understatement, visiting the resort in person is surreal and unbelievable.
Getting to the hotel, one is met by pristine water with magnificent sandy beaches on a 22 km lined with tall palm trees to complete the picture-perfect paradise that Lotus Desaru Beach Resort and Spa is.
Walking through the sandy beach with the rhythm of the sea behind you is an experience that you will not likely forget in a hurry.
The beauty of the resort will make even the most photophobic people pose for a photo, or two, or three for memory sake. And that is only on the outside, inside, the resort offers much more.
2.1 Lotus Desaru Beach Resort Facilities
Getting to the resort or anywhere close to it, you will be amazed at how big it is. That thing is huge! And I’m not even joking.
It is not every day you come across a hotel with more than 600 rooms and a bunch of other facilities all on the same ground.
The multi-storey resort has more than 700 rooms divided into ONE bedroom suite, TWO bedroom suite and THREE bedroom suite all with a range of in-room features like:
lounges for those moments you want to just lay back and watch the ocean waves,
a kitchenette to make sure you don’t miss any of your local cuisines installed with a microwave and refrigerator,
a separate dining area for the obvious,
private bathrooms
walk-in closets.
each room has a safe deposit box for all your valuables, access to elevators and free WiFi.
During your (presumably long) stay at the resort, you will have access to round the clock room service and daily laundry service at an affordable cost.
For your entertainment needs, there is a fully stocked bar at the resort which plays really good music and the bartenders are just something else.
The restaurant is another place you might want to visit or take your family to.
It serves exotic cuisines and delicacies from all over the world, from French to Mexican to Oriental meals capped with efficient and friendly staff who are committed to ensuring you get the most out of your stay there and possibly even come back.

paddle boating and
jet skiing.
Simply put, you get to have an adrenaline-charged evening or morning competing with other residents or even your friends or family but most importantly against the ocean waves and sea elements in a safe and controlled environment.
Massage parlors are also included in the resort because we all need that soft gentle touch after a long fun-filled day which usually takes a toll on our stiff and normally under-exercised muscles.
You can get almost all types of massages you ask for, from hot stones massage to acupressure to head and foot massages, name it.
2.2.4 Lotus Desaru Water Park
There is also a large water park at the resort with features like fountains, water slides and splash pads for those who would like some fun in the water.
The water park also contains several swimming pools for all recreational swimming needs.
It is the place you definitely don’t want to miss, and rightly so. Whether you are a swimming enthusiast or somewhat hydrophobic, you will not regret your visit to the park.
For body treatments, the resort has a large spa as is on the name. Spa staffs are trained to do all types of body treatments and pampering including facials, manicures, pedicures, and aromatherapy.
Modern and advanced beauty care treatments like body waxing and electrolysis are also included in addition to professional makeup application and hair styling to keep you in top shape both physically and psychologically.
The spa also has a large public sauna with hot and steam baths as we all know a spa day is nothing without a hot steamy bath.
