Could have maintained the toilet taps well. Appreciate thorough check before letting the guest in, as could not close the toilet door and instead of spoiled tab, we had to use the main valve. Breakfast qualify defenitely need improvement. Suit was spacious and bedroom was very tidy and well maintained.

Location of property is good, but overall no value for Money, hotel looks very old and not kept well. No facilities for kids like playground, water sprts etc. No good restaurant at this property, breakfast was not worth at all. Overall I do not see value for Money staying here.

We did not enjoy this place at all. It was not clean, trash all over, dirty elevator, clogged sink in room. It was very outdated. I do not recommend staying here. We left after the first night and forfeited the 2nd night because we were so uncomfortable there.

1. 연식은 오래 됐지만 벌레가 하나도 없어서 좋았어요. 개미 한 마리 못봤습니다.
2. 청소 상태는 별로였어요. 화장실 세면대 때, 방구석 먼지, 컵 설거지 안 되어있음...
3. 조식은 배만 채울 정도예요,, 커피 오믈렛 과일 정도 먹을만 해요
4. 프라이빗 비치가 있어서 좋습니다.

Please do not book ! This property is very old and no efforts have been put in to maintain it. Everything is broken and dirty. Rooms stink so bad. There are cockroaches in bathroom and toilet back flushes. Upon arrival at 4pm, they checked us in but they said room is not yet ready so we can’t give you the key yet as well as we can’t even confirm when the room will be ready. We had our 3 years old with us but reception was not able to make any efforts to get us a room. Their check in time is 3pm and we are talking about this terrible service when we were already one hour past check in time. With this initial experience on service as well as very dated and stinky ambiance, we requested them to cancel our booking so we can go some place else. They refused to consider our request but said “you can go some place else but we will not be able to refund your money”. Please do not book with them as property is so dated that management has even given up on how much they can fix. So feedback doesn’t bother them.

Tunamaya doesn’t fall in the high end group of resorts but it sufficed. We were mostly outside doing activities like fruit farms, firefly sightseeing and ATV rides. The view and proximity to the beach is wonderful and convenient. The food at the cafe and Nelayan restaurant was first-rate. Proximity to Wood-fire restaurant is definitely a plus when my kids crave for fast-food. The front office staff were friendly and nice.

Areas to improve in:
1. Was made to wait till 3 pm before we can check-in, we came in the early morning ferry (only one ferry timing in a day). But they let us check in our bags. Next time, will drop the bags and start heading out.
2. Buffet was first-come, first-serve. Limited space in the dining area. We had no choice but to sit outside at the non-air-con area. Fans were too few and the sun shone in, it got unbearably hot.
3. Would be great if they could arrange for car rentals. We took grab/taxi everywhere we went.

Overall, desaru offered a good getaway destination if you want to miss the queues at the causeway. Apart from the minor inconveniences, I enjoyed my family time at TunaMaya.

The rooms are clean, comfortable and spacious. We booked 2 family rooms and 1 twin room and 1 of the family room is connected to the twin room which is great. For the price paid, it is value for money.
One area that can be improved on is the breakfast which some food items are placed outdoors which tend to attract flies. Will suggest to include milo as a breakfast hot drink option noting that the resort has many families with kids.

Room corridor is hot due to the air conditioning compressors mounted on the outside along the corridor. It makes the corridor extra hot on a warm day when walking back or out of the room. Other than that, for the price, I was very satisfied with my stay.

It was just an average hotel.. the location and the pool was awesome. Right on the beach. But the food and cleanliness is terrible. Breakfast was just bad, food is tasteless. My room had blood stain on the shower curtain and had stains on the sheet. It didn’t really bother me cos I was only sleeping on one of the beds but if I had another person sleeping on the stained sheet, that would be unacceptable. Room service only changed the sheet but didn’t clean the bathroom and the rest of the room. The balcony is nice, overlooking the beach but filthy.

Wouldnt stay here again

Old hotel that has been given a very half-hearted makeover. The hotel grounds and layout has so much potential as every room gets a gorgeous view of the sea. But the place is let down by poor maintenance. Ants in the room, a toilet with no shower stall and toilet roll holder, music blaring from the bar downstairs till past 1am, the list goes on. Wouldnt stay here again.

Disappointing for the price

Initial room had multiple things broken; faucet in sink, bedside lamp which turned on/off if the wire moved and a plug socket hanging off the wall.

About 9pm they started showing a film right below my room which was ridiculously loud. NOT what you want for a nice quiet weekend away.

Restaurant was slack; buffet dinner was supposed to start at 6:30, but wasn't ready by 7 and I ended up going elsewhere. Overpriced \"goreng\" station available too.

Pool was nice but again electrical wire hanging loose in the pool, not particularly clean and vouchers required for pool towels (which if you don't return they say it's rm30 per towel) and I waited 10 minutes for the guy to come back before giving up.

Managed to have my room moved and the second room was better, wouldn't return.

Overall the hotel has a great location besides the sandy beach and close access to the town. It is simple in its facilities and the rooms are clean with good air-conditioning and sea view. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Dining room for breakfast are slightly crowded in indoor seating arrangements but the breakfast menu with local favourites are great choices. The beaches could do with some clean-up of debris and empty plastic bottles.

This resort has been around for a long time so don't aspect anything fancy. Great that hotel has 3 bedders option. Rooms are big, beds comfy. TV will discovery channels great for the kids. Aircon not strong for my room as they are individual units. Water heater likewise individual unit so be very careful using it as the initial flow water very hot then turns cold unit the heater starts back. Ventilation fan in the toilet not sure is it blowing air in or out cos it stinks real bad. Restaurants only provide special meals like steamboat buffet or snacks during weekend.

Reservation was last min book for a long weekend, take up a 3 pax room. the room is ok, bathroom also. only part is no hair dryer. room slipper need to be careful when wearing it cos the floor easily get slippery. the room is big enough. during check in the staff is nice and friendly. Breakfast so-so. the pool water is not clean maybe because is a long weekend, many tourist plus they allowed swimmers (teenager) to wear their home clothes down the pool, is quite disgusting. din see anybody having any water sports game. gym is ok but do not have treadmill, a bit disappointed as I prepared my track shoes. the spa is quite pricey, same as spore price. no rush in having a spa at the resort. just too bad I forget to request for higher floor to get a better sea view. if the balcony door can change to not auto close would be great, as the wind is strong, we can leave it open to enjoy the sea wind. the room wifi not so strong but if compare to some other places i went before, it is consider very good already. we ordered room service, the food not bad. there is a seafood restaurant beside it, waited very long cos is crowded. overall the embience is good. as there are few resort there, will try other resort to compare. . the water heater is good too.
