We took things easy on the final morning of our stay at Four Points by Sheraton Desaru . I spent a couple of hours working from the hotel before we headed out for brunch and checked out. One thing we really liked about staying here was the convenience of having plenty of eateries just opposite the hotel. It was easy to grab a meal without having to drive anywhere, and the spacious room made the stay even more comfortable.
