To Desaru Again – 25 November 2012

This is the second time my wife and I drove up to Desaru for our RnR. For this trip we stayed over at Lotus Desaru Resorts.

I like this resort a lot as compared to Pulai Spring, because there’s a water activities park and the unit that we got is a dual floor room. Best of all, for the 2 nights we were there, we cooked up a fest with the electric hotpot that I won during my company’s Chinese New Year dinner even though the resort forbid it guests from cooking inside the resorts room.

We drove up to Pengerang for lunch on the second day, on our return trip back to the resort. We stop by this quiet beach at Kampong Punggai.

If I were to visit Desaru again, I will definitely choose to stay over at Lotus Desaru again due to the water theme park and spacious dual floor room.
