Thanks to this chef, food was nice. Thanks to maintenance staff, they turned up shortly after my call pertaining to the water heater. Room was clean. Only want to feedback the aircon is too far to reach the third bed near to balcony.

Pros: Staff, cleanliness, restaurants with a decent selection and reasonable price. convenience stores too follow the same principle of not marking up to 'resort prices '. private beach is clean and is alright. Breakfast is Malaysian menu heavy, but we enjoyed it.. Cons: Buggy arrangement can be a but hit and miss on busy weekends. Among the many resort facilities listed - some of the more fun items which we wanted to such as archery, paintball etc . appear to be permanently closed. There are some other options which are available for a fee such as mini-putt, karaoke, funland for little kids and Playstation rooms. We used splash pool, beach and funland and spent the rest of the time driving out to away attractions such as croc farm, firefly park, mini zoo, temple village, Rapid etc, for which Lotus was a good base.

Nice place to stay, but booking information is not cleared to staff when booked for including breakfast via Klook website. Example: when booking paid and including breakfast for 2 adults and 1 kid, but still hotel staff charging for kid breakfast even though paid already.

I booked a Deluxe King Room and the sea view was awesome. The breakfast was average, but the hotel staff were kind, and check-in and check-out were smooth. There was no iron provided in the room, but I saw one in the hallway, so I used it and returned it to its place. Overall, it's worth staying for one night.

Amazing resort. The rooms were spacious, clean and really comfortable. Service from check-in to check-out was warm and helpful. The facilities were well-maintained. Breakfast buffet spread was excellent. We actually miss the place.

The staff is very friendly. The view is beautiful and relaxing. However, the cleanliness inside the bathroom is room for improvement. Found ants around. Overall is a good experience and enjoyable.

Booked a ride to Genting Highlands one day in advance. The driver was very punctual, the trip was smooth and enjoyable, and we had a pleasant chat along the way. Thank you for the great service. Highly recommended!

Quick facts about Kota Tinggi
General info
What to know before visiting Kota Tinggi
What to do in Kota Tinggi
Kota Tinggi is best known for Water parks, followed by Cruises and Tours, with Water activities and Outdoor & sports activities rounding out the top bookings. The city's year is driven by clear peaks and lulls: Klook booking data show strong surges around November and July, while August and several shoulder months quieten down. If you’re weighing a lively, festival-like visit against a more relaxed trip, choose between peak-season buzz and quieter off-peak calm — Klook booking data help you time activities to match the mood you want.
When to visit Kota Tinggi
Klook booking data show November as the busiest month, with a large jump in demand, and August as the quietest month. Prices are mostly steady through many months at a typical median of AUD 27, but they climb in April to around AUD 36 and dip in May to about AUD 22. That means the busiest months and prices don’t always match: November is a peak for visitors while April is the priciest month, so for lower prices and fewer crowds aim for May or the very quiet months; for peak-season atmosphere pick November.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Busier than usual | AUD 27 |
| February | Very quiet | AUD 28 |
| March | Very quiet | AUD 28 |
| April | Busier than usual | AUD 36 |
| May | Quieter than usual | AUD 22 |
| June | Busier than usual | AUD 24 |
| July | Peak demand | AUD 27 |
| August | Very quiet | AUD 27 |
| September | Very quiet | AUD 27 |
| October | About average | AUD 27 |
| November | Peak demand | AUD 27 |
| December | About average | AUD 27 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Tips for travellers from Australia
Most travellers book quite close to arrival — Klook booking data show people typically book about 1 day ahead, while the earliest planners book around 4 days out — so you can be flexible when organising activities. That said, in the peak months (November and July) booking earlier pays, especially for Water parks and Cruises. Use Klook to lock in your preferred time slots and avoid sold-out sessions, and consider booking popular water-park experiences and cruises a few days ahead to secure the best options.
