Called prior to arrival to inform that we were only able to reach after midnight and to had some arrangement made. Hotel was quick to accomodate. Night shift Afiq that was at the reception was friendly and efficient with his service. Requested for extension of check out time, Afiq was quick with his decision and extended an additional hour for me. Generally cleanliness of the room is acceptable just that there was a few water stains on the writing desk and carpet was a little dirty. Another bad part is there wasn't shaving kit in the room too and aircon in the middle of the night just increase by itself and ended up waking up sweating.? All this wasnt a very huge issue till the day of departure regarding the check out timing. I believe there was some miscommunication which cause a little disturbance to me. Received a letter prior to the day of check out stating the wrong check out time, called the reception to verify however next day at 12pm still receive a call from Operator saying my check out time is 12pm when it was extended to 1pm upon check in. Hoping for better communication when I return got my next stay.

Reviewed By Santha73

First of all....there are ants in room. Far from the Senai airport. The grab charges is pricy from RM38 to 50 per ride. It may more pricy during peak hours. Recommended to take Air Asia car ride Highly recommended for family with kids. Kids will enjoy the stay. Friendly staff. Room is spacious. Parents room separated with kids room by sliding door. Kids room with double deck bed with extra sliding bed at the bottom. Can accommodate 3 kids. Buffet breakfast menu is with variaty of choices. Near by restaurant are only fast food outlets such as Chicken rice shop, secret recipe etc. Walking distance. And there is a cold storage under same roof. Theme Park is recommended for the kids age 7 to 15 years. Nothing much for kids below 6 years. It'll be a waste. To avoid long que and waiting time, it's recommended to go during weekdays. We went there on Friday. Less people. We go all the rides twice without queing. We went again next day on Saturday. All the rides need to que for 2nd time Less activities in water theme park As usual food are pricy in the Theme park & not allowed to bring in outside food.

Better hotels elsewhere

Reviewed By rigelite

Check in experience was sub-par. No recognition of elite status at all, was not proactively offered any perks. Service from check in staff was nonchalant, unwelcoming and disinterested. It was at least efficient. Room was adequate, cleanliness could be better though. Sofa table was sticky and not wiped properly. There was a musky smell to the sheets. Overall a rather mediocre experience. Would not return even if holding on to IHG status.

Relaxing stay with excellent service and great food

Reviewed By Barnali0411

We had walked in because we did not like the previous hotel we had booked. Stayed from 3-5 June 2022 Rooms We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite with 2 balconies and a living room sofa, dining, fridge, microwave, 2 toilets. Rooms had lots of light Service Since the moment we stepped in the lobby service was excellent. A person waiting at the lobby listened to our requirements and offered a walk-in rate (book earlier for better rates) Housekeeping came in to help immediately when ever we needed any assistance. We needed some help with AC remote, required a couple laundry bags and also room needed some cleaning. At one point a family member needed to connect to his PC and there was internet connection problem. The IT personnel gave us a visit in the room and did the trouble shooting. Received personalised attention from the Resort Manager Mr Vijayanathan, a very warm gentleman who on the first evening helped us select the meal Food We spent the 3 days eating at the hotel’s restaurants. The seafood restaurant is excellent. Their tom yam, butter prawn, lobster, Tiga-rasa grouper, garlic bean, broccolli scallop were very good. Drinks were good too. fresh coconut that we had on the beach chair, mai tai, shandy, pina-colada were excellent. Fruit juice towers looked an excellent option for young children although we did not order fruit juice. Breakfast was mainly traditional Malaysian. They did have cornflake, oatmeal fruits and breads. But off-the-griddle roti canai, fresh eggs, nasi lemak, mee, chicken, teh tarik were not missable. There were other restaurants as well. Korean, Indian, Cafe. We did try some cakes. Was not that great though Amenities An excellent place for young and old. It had a private beach with beach chairs on the embankment. We enjoyed the morning sun rise and fabulous view of the deep blue sea in the afternoon sitting on the beach chairs, sipping fresh coconut. Later when the sun went down, played some in the seawater They offered various sea sports activities , jet ski, para-sailing, banana boat. We did the family boat ride that accommodates 5 people at one go. There were many water activities for young children and we saw them thoroughly enjoying. We took some laps in the lap pool There was a big retail shops that sold different choice of items including some mementos. there were some smaller shops also The resort had so many other entertainment - archery, games arcade, bird watching karaoke etc We did spend some time at the gym and spa In the evening, the central field became live with other activities. There were dances, bubble blowing and movie screening with a projector with plastic seats on the grass for people to sit. They really thought through Crowd Management We went to Desaru dreading how crowded it might be during school holiday season. It was crowded. A big thumbs Up to them for excellent crowd management. The queue ticket system for checkin and check out, the extra large breakfast area, toilets and taps dotted around.

My Choice of Hotel in JB

Reviewed By Nicholas2109

It’s a value for money deal. Luxury and spacious room. Unique design and parking bays. The staff were very accommodative. Suitable for both business and private leisure. Strategically located where you don’t have to drive for breakfast, lunch or dinner. There are a lot of eateries within walking distance. Z hotel is definitely my choice for my future trip to Johor Bharu.
