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.

We did not enjoy this place at all. It was not clean, trash all over, dirty elevator, clogged sink in room. It was very outdated. I do not recommend staying here. We left after the first night and forfeited the 2nd night because we were so uncomfortable there.

It's worst property I have ever visited. Property is totally run down condition & service is terrible where guests are just ignored. Not recommended for anyone to stay.

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.
