Arduous Rock Lodge Desaru Coast was our subsequent lodge keep after visiting Westin Desaru and Anantara Desaru. Apart from having the same old frills of an Arduous Rock Lodge such because the laborious rock guitar on the entrance in addition to rock star memorabilia sprinkled all through the lodge, Arduous Rock Desaru really has a bonus over all different Desaru resorts – a non-public entry into Journey Waterpark Desaru.
Arriving at Arduous Rock Lodge Desaru Coast
As we have been at Anantara Desaru, there have been a few methods to go to Arduous Rock Lodge Desaru. From Anantara Desaru, we might both stroll again in the direction of Westin Desaru (the best way that we got here from) or simply look forward to the shuttle bus that takes us there. Throughout this transit, we needed to look forward to fairly a bit as a result of reception by some means didn’t get the newest bus schedule and suggested us on the flawed timing. Due to this fact, ALWAYS try the bus schedule on the foyer personally. Additionally, due to the flawed data, we took the opposite bus route that circles to the Desaru Ferry Terminal earlier than heading to Arduous Rock Desaru. An extended trip however a cooler trip…
Because the Desaru Ferry Terminal was not operational as but, there have been nobody else on the shuttle bus. We sorta had a non-public tour of Desaru Coast. It was reasonably good to move by Desaru City in addition to Els Membership Desaru to catch a view of the golf course. After about 40 minutes (together with a ten minutes cease at Desaru Ferry Terminal), we finally arrived at Arduous Rock Desaru…
Additionally, to keep away from a repeat of our mistake, right here’s the bus schedule we took on the foyer of Arduous Rock Lodge…
The Arduous Rock Desaru lodge foyer could be very spacious. The world that over seems Journey Waterpark Desaru was in all probability certainly one of our favorite spots to hang around…
After a immediate check-in course of, it was time to take a look at our room…
Arduous Rock Lodge Desaru Coast Superior Room
At 42sqm, the Arduous Rock Desaru Superior Room was admittedly very spacious. It checks out in all of the “Arduous Rock” types together with a fantastic artwork work on the wall in addition to some laborious rock music on TV as we entered the room. However what caught our consideration was the verandah. The “balcony” opens up on to the waterpark itself.
There’s additionally a pleasant couch the place you’ll be able to chill as effectively. In fact, we are able to solely think about how nice the view could be on the upper flooring. Inside the room, the remainder of the facilities have been fairly customary. No bathtub room although within the Superior Room of Arduous Rock Desaru…
After we booked with Arduous Rock Desaru, the room comes with complimentary tickets to Journey Waterpark Desaru. The actually actually cool factor about staying at Arduous Rock Desaru is the non-public entry to Journey Waterpark Desaru. As well as, as visitors, you’ll be capable to get a wristband that means that you can have limitless entry/re-entry to the premise – a very cool choice to relaxation a little bit when it will get too sizzling in the course of the day and are available out once more a little bit later…

Journey Waterpark Desaru Coast Evaluate
Regardless of having visited Aquaventure in Dubai, we nonetheless assume that Journey Waterpark Desaru is kind of a good attraction and right here’s why…
We began off the day with some mini golf, which Kate gained as ordinary. If in case you have learn our posts, you’ll know that Kate’s the mini-golf queen, successful at mini-golf on cruises in addition to this ridiculous putt at Sierra Nevada Resort & Spa.
After the sport, we had some lunch, which was surprisingly decently priced at a theme park. We dined at Kelong and had a drumstick hen rice (23.9RM) and a root beer (6.9RM)…
We additionally needed to strive the waffles with peanut/chocolate for six.9RM however the queue was simply too lengthy and once we finally returned, it was bought out 😭 We additionally discovered that you could lease a cabana by the wave pool as effectively…
Our favorite trip was in all probability Kraken’s Revenge rollercoaster – which is the primary rollercoaster that we might go on, barefooted. Sat subsequent to a child who went 5 instances and we had a little bit problem – no change of facial feelings all through the trip. That was enjoyable as effectively. 😆 The Swinging Ship (Viking) was reasonably scary too – accelerating each upwards and downwards. A brand new modification to its predecessors. We spent alot of time going spherical and around the lazy river, pushing one another below the waterfall and splashes. Throughout which, we observed that the floats have been all very new. Therefore, the steep worth (in case you entered by paying the admission charges), does pay for the upper high quality skilled within the waterpark.
Tidal Wave was fairly enjoyable however watch out about abrasion particularly on the shallower finish of the pool. Total, Journey Waterpark Desaru Coast is definitely fairly enjoyable and never that crowded as effectively. Take pleasure in!
After the waterpark closed, we adjourned to our room and watched the Eternals – which was sadly a nasty selection. However the great point is that movies-on-demand at Arduous Rock Desaru are complimentary. We additionally discovered the room to not be that sound-proof. We have been in a position to hear a lot of the conversations subsequent door and in the course of the evening (i.e. 11pm), we have been abruptly woken up by shouts of “objective!” subsequent door. If atmosphere noise does have an effect on your sleep, maybe Westin Desaru could be a greater choice.
For dinner, we had the well-known Penang Kway Teow (18RM) and Pizza Hut Kari Pizza (45RM) by ordering by means of Seize. In contrast to Westin Desaru, it was fairly widespread for folks to order Seize to dine on the lodge or just drive out to city to tapao. Zero embarrassment right here. 😁
Breakfast at Arduous Rock Lodge Desaru Coast
To not get your expectations too excessive. The breakfast at Arduous Rock Desaru Lodge will not be that good…
Sadly for us, the hen inside and on the buffet outside was raw and tremendous robust. Even the sambal was not pretty much as good (fairly watery) as in comparison with Anantara and Westin Desaru. The one brilliant facet was hash brown that went effectively with greek yoghurt.
Total, the breakfast at Arduous Rock Desaru was horrible – at the very least on this present day that we visited. The opposite brilliant facet for us was the espresso machine and on that be aware, there are a number of on the drinks station. So stroll round and find the free one as a substitute of becoming a member of the lengthy queues.
After breakfast, we returned to the room and caught extra films together with Shang Chi (which was reasonably good) and Encanto. New films reminiscent of King Richard was additionally obtainable. As our trip again was deliberate for 8pm, after check-out at 12pm, we nonetheless had a number of hours to sit back on the lodge – a tip for travellers on the market 😉
After “settling in” (i.e. discovering a spot by the pool), we took a fast stroll across the lodge premise because the water was nonetheless a little bit too chilly at that cut-off date…
After coming again, we began to swim for some time however have been requested to go away the pool, as a result of apparently, a child acquired too excited and vomited within the pool. The cleansing took about an hour. Throughout which, we ordered some stuff to eat for lunch…
As Elephant and Butterfly have their very own herb backyard, the herb-based cocktails have been fairly good. Loved the gin-based Basil Punch by the pool whereas munching on the nachos. Yum!
At about 3pm, we left the pool to the lodge foyer to have the afternoon tea for 80RM…
The afternoon tea was reasonably first rate. Is available in a 3-tiered presentation plus fried gadgets and choice of tea (we had Earl Gray). The prawns have been reasonably contemporary and the clotted cream and jams went fairly effectively with the candy gadgets. No scones although. Extra like a biscuit. The desserts have been all fairly good and the fried stuff went effectively with the blissful hour beer (18RM). Tremendous full by the tip of the afternoon tea! On that be aware, do try the promotions obtainable every day throughout the lodge.
We went again to the pool thereafter, chilled and watched the sundown colors on the clouds. It was stunning. At 8pm, our trip got here and it was about 2.5 hours earlier than we finally acquired again residence. Met with a little bit jam that night.
