Desaru Holiday Chalet was the first stopover during my visit to Desaru. This resort starts its operation in 1974 and was the first resort to be opened in Desaru.

It was officiated by the third Prime Minister of Malaysia. Even though the resort is 'old' the chalets here were well maintained and still in working condition. It is suitable for family retreat as the chalets are quite spacious. You can park your car next to your chalet and wash your car if you want to. Since most of the trees planted here has grown big, you can expect a shady cool atmosphere.
