Visited the fruit farm and ostrich farm in Desaru. Greatly enjoyed ourselves, especially at the ostrich farm. Learnt a lot and the kids had their pictures taken on the ostrich.

Desaru is a nice place for relaxing with its white and sandy beaches. There is a fruit farm nearby and for those food lovers, they can choose to travel about 30km to a town called Sg. Rengit to enjoy the cheap seafood, especially the fresh lobsters!

Please leave for the hotel before it gets real dark if you are not familar with pitch dark driving, when going to Sungei Ringgit area for seafood.
If you are spending more than 1 night in Desaru & want to explore, it is recommended that you go to the ostrich farm, fruit farm and Sebana Cove (enjoy the view). They are all about 30 mins drive from the hotel.

If you have a car, the Good Luck seafood restaurant at Sungei Renggit, half an hour drive away from hotel, is good and reasonably priced. It was closed on Monday when we were there, so do check it out first.
Another cheap place for Nasi Padang is Bendar Penawar, about 5 mins from Desaru. There are about 2 coffee shops here but only one was opened during my visit. You can also stock up on supplies here.
If time permits, you can also drive down to Tanjong Balau beach (try to avoid noon as place does not have much shade). The beach looks like a good place for children to explore.

My inital thought of the beaches in Desaru to be overused and not as beauty. I was wrong. I have fun on the beach.

We got around in our own car, so no problem.
The number of interesting spots in the area is limited.
The Fruitfarms and the Kota Tinggi waterfalls are certainly worthwhile to visit.

There is a variety of tours and marine spots available at the activities counter though i did not make use of the opportunity to participate in any, preferring to bask in the sun along the beach.
I do not know if there is a village or town nearby where guests can have dinner. Maybe the hotel can provide a shuttle service or something?

we actually cycle from pengarang to desaru. the route was quite tough especially at the last 11 km, where the route becomes very hilly, so we have to go up-hill then down-hill. very energy consuming. holiday seeker should always drive in or take the taxi. leeave the cycling to the adventures seeker.
desaru beach is quite average. rating is about 7 out of 10.
DId not visit much of the nearby places. Actually attempted to cycle to the nearby small town, Bandar Penawar, but then because limited time, so we didn't go there either.
