This Muslim temple is on the to-do lists of many visitors to Central District. But Masjid Negeri Sultan Abu Bakar isn't the area's only drawcard. Singapore Zoo, Johor Bahru City Square, and KSL City Mall are some other recommended attractions close by.

9/10 Wonderful! (42 reviews)

We had no idea what to expect as we booked last minute without doing any research nor looking at pictures. Also the name, One & Only Desaru, is somewhat non-descript, it doesn't evoke much... This is a 5-star resort, an oasis secluded from the world, large luxurious villas, private beaches and all -- and also, I guess, from paparazzis! That kind of a place. Top, top, top. Will return for sure.
