The family-fun, best-value end of the four. The Roxity Kids Club runs long hours, it’s the closest hotel to the Adventure Waterpark — with its own guest entrance and complimentary access — and packages often bundle a waterpark ticket. If the trip is mainly about keeping kids happy, this is the obvious pick.

Our independent tip

Check whether your room rate includes the complimentary waterpark access and how many days — it’s the single biggest reason to stay here over the Westin, but the inclusion varies by package, so confirm before you book. There’s also a free buggy hopping between Hard Rock, the Westin and the other Coast hotels — travellers use it to head over for the Westin’s dinner buffet and catch the return buggy after, saving on resort-taxi fares. It isn’t heavily advertised, so just ask at the lobby.

Frequently asked questions

Can you get between the Hard Rock and the Westin without a car?

Yes — a free buggy/shuttle hops between the Desaru Coast hotels, including the Hard Rock and the Westin. Travellers report riding it over for the Westin’s dinner buffet and catching the return buggy afterwards, so you can resort-hop for an evening out without paying for a taxi. It isn’t heavily advertised — ask at the lobby — and the same buggy connects the other Coast resorts too.
