D'Vista Homestay Apartments @ Lotus Desaru Resort  

On Johor’s sun-soaked eastern coast in Bandar Penawar, this family-friendly 2BR apartment sits inside Lotus Desaru Beach Resort. It’s about 3 km from Bandar Penawar town centre and a short 5–8 minute drive to Els Golf Club, Desaru Fruit Farm, Desaru Coast and Hard Rock Cafe. Desaru Beach and Desaru Coast Adventure Waterpark are right nearby, and spots like the Singapore Flyer and Gardens by the Bay are within reach for cross‑border day trips.

Fully air‑conditioned two‑bedroom, two‑bath apartments with tasteful modern décor and separate living areas. Kitchenette is limited to a microwave, fridge, tea/coffee maker and basic cutlery for four; towels and linen are provided. Expect simple comforts like bathtub and shower options and elevator access for guests with disabilities.

Resort highlights include a water park, pool and fitness centre, plus free on‑site parking. Up to four complimentary resort waterpark wristbands are provided with the apartment, and you get full access to main resort facilities (pool, gym and waterpark). Nearby activities range from fireflies tours and river cruises to fruit, ostrich and crocodile farms — and plenty of golf and beach time to enjoy sea‑breeze mornings.

An on‑site restaurant serves local cuisine for easy, flavourful meals. The in‑apartment kitchenette handles light bites and coffee, and a cluster of seafood restaurants, malls and fast‑food outlets sits within about 1.5 km for more choices.
