Short Getaway To Desaru Coast


When it comes to having a getaway for a short holiday in Johor, I guess you would be thinking of going outside of Johor Bahru and get straight to Desaru area in Kota Tinggi. Kota Tinggi has a lot of things to offer.
 And the journey here is accessible via land transport.

Since we are still in MCO, the interstate is not yet permitted. Traveling maybe not be advisable this time but perhaps this can be a good reference to you and your family when thinking of having a short holiday outside Johor Bahru specially when you’ve been staying at home for almost a year.


Let me share with you our 2 Days and 1 Night experiences at Desaru Coast in conjunction with my #JomtaraletsSupportLocal Campaign stories to support our local tourism amid the impact of Covid19 Pandemic.
 
The Journey


We took Causeway Link bus service from JB Sentral to get to Desaru Coast Adventure Waterpark that time. The bus service was still available.  We took this bus with only RM15 per pax per one way. The bus is spacious and with good air-conditioning facilities.

The bus service dropped us at the Adventure Water Park Desaru Coast bus bay area so we went straight to the entrance of the waterpark for a splashing water adventure.
 
Splashing Adventure At The Waterpark


We enjoyed the ride at the Adventure Waterpark in Desaru Coast for the whole day until 3PM. It was a hot day so need to use a lot of sunblocks. Then we checked out and took a cab to get straight to Tunamaya Beach & Spa Resort Desaru Coast. This hotel is a 4-star hotel situated right in front of the beach coast of Desaru Coast.
  
The rates of those hotels inside Desaru Coast are quite expensive. So we book our accommodation outside  Desaru Coast but nearby to this area. And that is Tunamaya Beach & Spa Resort Desaru Coast.
 
The Hotel


The Hotel provides outstanding services and amenities for its guests. It has free Wi-Fi in all rooms, 24-hour security, convenience store, daily housekeeping, gift/souvenir shop, swimming pool (kids and adults), fitness center, volleyball court, and restaurant.

The staff and crews of the hotel were very accommodating. We checked-in at 3 PM and the process was very straightforward. Since we are quite tired during our waterpark adventure, we rested at their hospitality area.


The staycation was really amazing. I love the evening setting. It's very relaxing and their swimming pool is just facing the beach area. It’s very convenient (just a walking distance).

The hotel may look a bit run down but I think it is still well-maintained. The ambiance along the coast is very calming. I don’t need to get to an expensive hotel just to experience the beachside. The waves are quite strong. Better to have some safety precautions in that area.


I love their sea view from our hotel room. It’s nice to just go out on their balcony and relax and hear the noise coming from the sea waves. It’s just like music in my ears that helps to relax my brain cells from the busy city life in Johor Bahru.


In terms of food, their breakfast buffet was Superb. The eating place was quite spacious.
 
Going Back To The City Center

After checking out at the hotel on the following day, we hang out at their beach area around 3PM. They don’t have many guests on that day so it's quite considered free and easy.


At around 4:30 pm, we went to Desaru public beach which cost us about RM18 for our taxi to get there. We spend about one hour and 30 minutes there before we went to the Desaru Coast bus bay area to take the bus to JB Sentral at 6 PM.

The fare going back to JB Sentral from Desaru Coast was RM15 per pax which give us more saving in terms of transportation from JB Sentral to Desaru Coast.

We arrived in JB Sentral around 7:15 PM in the evening and took our dinner inside the JBCC where we parked our car before going back home.

The experience for me for this adventure was something which I want to have again. It was absolutely a very relaxing short gateway.
