OIC quite near.  Is it the shop houses along the road to the resort?

That's right.......

[Dleodleo]

The map on their Pistachio Bakery Facebook page is their store in JB. They opened a branch in Bandar Penawar, just 5-10 mins from the resort area.

 

OIC.

Hi guys,

 

anyone stayed at Desaru Tunamaya Beach & Spa Resort before? I have always stayed at Pulai so wanted some comparison.

 

Thks.

I used to work in Desaru 26 years ago on the failed US$ 4 billion development.

 

Been back regularly but yesterday was the first time in a couple of years.

 

Drove in over the Causeway  and back through Second Link.

 

Didn't take exact timings butI thought the Secind Link was about 30 minutes faster and you don't have to twiddle thumb for as long in the Custom queue.

 

Any body believe that Second Link is deffo faster.

 

I followed the E-22 all the way to Senai ish before joining the Second Link road.

 

Just looking at a map it looks like getting off the E-22 at Ulu Tiram onto the AH - 18 and then onto the Pasir Gudang Highway might well be quicker but I'm not sure if the connections between the roads have been built.

 

Maybe even get on the Pasir Gudang Highway much nearer the big bridge over the river.

 

Anyone got any suggestions for the quickest route???

Yeah, it's a nice place to visit, esp for families with young children

Anyone been to Desaru lately?

The new roads (added lanes) from the resorts to Sungai Rengit, has it opened yet?

The single lanes were a pain to use...Last March when i was there, the roads were being widened to 2-3 lanes per direction.

TIA.

From Petronas station onwards, they are already building the new road which i last saw in March, its on right side if heading towards Sungai Rengit.

 

Yeah, potholes are everywhere on the single lane road since i first travel to Desaru in 2005, its really dangerous to drive, esp in the night.

 

That's why i ask if anyone have updated information whether the new road have open

 

Tiagong Pulai Desaru also renovation till Dec 2016?
