Not worth the money. Breakfast was so lousy. Not a hard rock standard at all. At dinner ordered some fish & chips for kids was also so horrible.

Short Staycation

The vibes of Hard Rock can be seen throughout my stay. However, the breakfast was a bit disappointing in terms of quality and very crowded. Maybe should look into time slot for better crowd control? The corridor leading to the lift at level 3 are cracking and can feel the tiles moving while we walked.

We had a wonderful 3-night stay at Hard Rock Hotel Desaru! From the moment we arrived, the service was top-notch and made our trip truly memorable. A special shout-out to the amazing staff at SESSIONS BY HARD ROCK — they were efficient, attentive, and always greeted us with a smile. Matt and his team deserve special mention for their outstanding hospitality. We also thoroughly enjoyed The Session live band — their performance added such great energy and entertainment to our evenings. I would also like to compliment your staff Eyka, who was serving at the noodle station during breakfast. Despite being busy tending to her station, she went above and beyond to fulfill my wife’s request for chili padi. Eyka personally delivered a bowl of chili padi to our table, all with a warm and genuine smile. Small gestures like these truly reflect the excellent service standards at Hard Rock Desaru. Thank you, Hard Rock Desaru, for an unforgettable experience — we can’t wait to return!

This is my fourth stay at Hard Rock, and it always feels like home. I truly appreciate the thoughtfulness of offering breakfast as early as 4:30 AM for race participants, as well as the convenient bike cleaning towels and washing area. One area that could be improved is the Wi-Fi signal, which tends to be weak. Overall, though, it’s always a worthy and enjoyable stay. Desaru ironman 70.3
