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.

Value for money. Room looks like it has been recently renovated. Cleanliness can be improved in the toilet and balcony area. On the whole, it was a comfortable stay. Breakfast was good enough. Beach was clean. Will be back to stay again!

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.
