About the experience in: BANDAR PENAWAR, Malaysia
Brazil
I had a good experience overall. Most of the staff were friendly and welcoming. On most days, I worked alone for an 8-hour shift, mainly waiting for customers, which could be quite quiet and repetitive. I was also hoping to have more opportunities to try different water sports, such as jet skiing or wake surfing. Nevertheless, I appreciated the experience and the people I met during my stay.

About the experience in: BANDAR PENAWAR, Malaysia
Germany
I spent three weeks here, working 3 days a week from 9am to 7pm, with 4 days off. On my days off I could use the non-motorised equipment for free. The work can be quite repetitive, especially in the hotel outlets.
The food budget was also a little tight, even though I always cooked for myself. I felt that Simon was rather distant. Outside of work, there was little interaction or interest in getting to know me, so I felt more like another employee than a volunteer there for a cultural exchange. The guys working there were really friendly and funny, and I enjoyed working with them.

I arrived by taxi (£30) as I could not find any buses going from JB. As I had my suitcase it would be difficult to travel there by bus. It was retail with later opportunity for helping with events but closer to the time I was leaving. The other staff were lovely. The reason why I decided to leave was because of how isolated it is. you are picked up and dropped off to do volunteering. You have no access to own transport even a bicycle to get to the shops quicker. Additionally, Simon was hot/cold I asked once about days I'll work and the switch in attitude was crazy. I decided to leave.

The experience was not what I expected. The tasks mainly involve maintenance and sales in equipment rental shops, so you end up as just another staff member. Most of my shifts were spent alone in a hotel shop for 8 hours with not much else to do. The schedule is 9am to 7pm, 3 days a week, with 4 days off. Desaru doesn't offer much beyond the beach, and I was never able to use the jet ski equipment as advertised. The atmosphere feels heavy, with a lot of stress among the staff. The vibe can be uncomfortable—people aren't always friendly, and sometimes they don't even greet you.
