Top Bandar Penawar Hotel Reviews

KSL Hotel & Resort
10/10 Excellent
"The room is clean and lighting has improved vastly. "

St. Giles Southkey
8/10 Good
"All good except if you are driving. There is no complimentary parking and hence you need to pay every time you are in and out of the carpark. The reason given is that they share the parking space with others. If they can make the car park fee capped at RM5, there is no reason for not being able to waive off the carpark fee. Quite disappointing for a 4 stars hotel."

Holiday Inn Johor Bahru City Centre by IHG
10/10 Excellent

Space Residency by A----Walk 100m to KSL

"Thanks for the clean room, good stay!
Thanks also to Rizal for the smooth check-in and check-out (:"

The Westin Desaru Coast Resort
8/10 Good
"Nice looking resort that is situated very close to a private beach.
Enjoyed the lush look of the resort. Breakfast was good with local delights like Roti Canai, Nasi Lemak, Dimsum. Staff were helpful and a treat to deal with.
Some downsides:
- There is sound leaking into the bedroom from the corridor. We heard people shouting outside our rooms at 12am. I would imagine better sound proofing would have been present in a 5 star hotel but apparently not.
- The thermostat aircon in our room did not work as intended. The room takes a long time to cool and there is a big discrepancy in the temperature set on the touch panel VS actual temperature in the room.
- The floor leading to the pool gets really hot as there's not much shade so beware if you're walking barefoot on the exposed tiles.
- Swimming pool temperature is a tad hot. I wore an Apple watch and it measured the water temperature as 34C !? I understand it's relative to the sun & weather outside (which was scorching) but 34C is really hot and unpleasant to be in. It felt like a heated pool and it was more suitable for a cold/cooler country. The ideal temperature should be 27C to 30C so guests can cool off in the pool and not get sous vide instead.
I think the downsides marred the overall experience and makes it feel like a 4 or 4.5 star hotel."

R&F Princess Cove by FUJU & 5mins to ClQ
8/10 Good
"R&F Princess Cove is located close to CIQ buidling, with an approx 12 minute walk under shelter. Check in was easy and staffs were friendly and polite. Unit is well kept and clean and unsuitable for small families. 2 bedroom with 1 bathroom. Compound comes with condo facilities and security is good. Overall a pleasant experience staying at this place."

Sheraton Johor Bahru
8/10 Good
"I have stayed in numerous hotels in several countries, when I booked for a room of 3, none of them charged me for the roll away bed that I have requested.
Though you have waived it when I protested but you have spoiled my Staycation."

Renaissance Johor Bahru Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Breakfast buffet is excellent with plenty of options. Very comfortable stays and many local shops nearby for food options and little shopping."

Hard Rock Hotel Desaru Coast
10/10 Excellent
"Loved the service, everything was smooth and well taken care of. The live performance was a great touch too. This isn’t my first time here and definitely won’t be my last. Thank you for the warm hospitality!"
