Our stay is very close to lunar new year and there is construction work on site but noise is not great, perhaps due to reduced work prior to the new year. There is nothing much to do in Desaru as the red flag is raised daily at beach dur to jelly fish. Only the small swimming pool is usable. Buffet breakfast has a good spread. Not much to say about the limited ala carta menu for lunch and dinner. Good place to chill out in life and that's about it.

I like this quiet place and very suitable for sunrise meditation facing the sea. The cleanliness of the beach can be improved. Loaded with some rubbish. I would suggest the owner to clear the beach at least once a week on Friday as more customers on weekend to enjoy the beachfront. I suggest to have a small mini mart too due to a secluded area. The restaurant is too painful to wait for food to be served. Had my lunch and dinner there. Lunch being served 1/2hr later and dinner was 1hr. FYI, ...

Had a really good stay at Space Residency! You can definitely tell this place is going to be a total gem once it's 100% finished.Check-in was pretty smooth—the building is run by a management company, so you just head up to their office on the 2nd floor to grab your room key card. They use a pre-assigned car park lot system, which is great because you get a guaranteed spot. The only small catch is that the specific lot can be a bit tricky and hard to find at first, so definitely take your time...
