Cherating Beach Hotels

Impiana Resort Cherating: Impiana Resort Cherating

Impiana Resort is located among what I feel is the best spot of Cherating Beach. Impiana Resort Cherating is located about 2 1/2 hours drive or 45 minutes flight from Kuala Lumpur.
Impiana comes from the Malay word "impian" which literary means dream. The hotel is designed to resemble the finest in traditional Malay culture. All superior rooms are charmingly furnished with wooden flooring, conventional four-poster wooden bed which gives the room a romantic feel. Every room you stay allows you to be closer to nature and wake up to the peaceful sound of the ocean because all rooms face the sea and is about 300 meter for the beach. Facilities in all rooms includes a long bath only available in Superior Deluxe and Suites, air-conditioning, ceiling fan, mini bar, room service, television and coffee and tea making facilities. The balcony is rather small, only standing room but there is day bed by the window that opens out for you to enjoy the sea breeze and view. We stayed in the Superior Deluxe room which have two sections, the first being the sofa, TV and work table, while the second section contains the 4-post bed and the bathroom.
Kedai Kopi or the coffee shop is a nice airy restaurant that offers array of Malaysian and Continental dishes. To unwind, head to the Pelita Lounge where you can enjoy a pleasant conversation in a relax ambiance which overlook the reflecting pool and spectacular sea view. There is also a Pub where a Philipines was playing but we didn’t go in as we had the little one with us.
Also about half and hours drive towards Kemaman town you will come across shops selling Keropok Lekor and Satar, great for afternoon teas. And turn right towards Kuantan, you will come across Kampung Cherating which is littered with seafood restaurants.

Unique Quality: The pool is realy large with a waterfall and the beach is really private as the nearest hotel is Suria on the left and Club Med 500 meters away on the right.

Holiday Villa Spa and Beach Resort: Cherating

The rooms were small and the bathrooms were clean but it had an overall old feeling about it. The air-conditioning unit started leaking profusely and water was dripping to the bed and floor. Housekeeping came in during the afternoon when we were in our rooms after we were back from our lunch. Why they could not have done it while we were out is beyond us. The rooms also looked not quite up to the standard we expected from looking at the hotel website. Of course the rooms on the websites looked so much more impressive. There was also a brief blackout on the 2nd night, giving the impression that all is not exactly running smoothly.

I'm sure you can find much better hotels around. Walked over to Legend Hotel and found out it was so much more happening there!

Unique Quality: Nice pool (but too much chlorine in the water)
Clean private beach
Polite staff

Coconut Inn Cherating: Basic and budget

Sudden trip planned by my friends and I within less in a week to Cherating.Without a proper planning for the trip, 5 of us chose cherating as our destination.Imagine without any plans and with RM300 budget we manage to accomplish the journey for 3D2N..Coconut Inn was among shortlisted chalet in our list.Seeing its a peak season (school holiday for malaysia), we never tot that we will get any rooms with a cheaper rate. Thanx to the owner...Im sorry that I never ask the name as he address himself as uncle to us. He offered us a small room with the price RM35 per night. Its very cheap and based on our badget..its good enuff to fit us.We choose a bigger chalet with the price of RM50.The room equipped with basic needs such as pillow,bed,blanket,ceiling fan and an attached bedroom..The beach is actually in a walking distance.What else? hmmm...u can ask me

Unique Quality: Friendly owner, Quiet and simple environments...I love it to be quiets..

Cherating Bay Resort: Ok place

I was running out of cash and so I had to find an accommodation which accepted credit cards.
The Cherating Bay Resort was one of the few places in Cherating which did so.
It's quite a large place with lots of apartments, a swimming pool, a spa, a restaurant and a bar.
My apartment (and probably all others, as they looked identical) had a bedroom, a bathroom and a living room with kitchenette. It was very clean and of course there also was an aircon and a tv.
Breakfast was included in the price.
The downside to it is that it isn't very close to the beach and without seaview.

Ranting Beach Resort: Nice chalets

The Ranting Beach Resort has a couple of chalets to rent. Some of them are right at the beach, the cheaper ones are across the road.
I stayed in a beach front chalet with aircon, hot water and tv. It was very clean and I really liked my terrace towards the sea.
This place seemed to be very popular, so it might a good idea to book ahead during high season.

Residence Inn: Cherating beach resort

It is the first time staying there and I must say that it is a descent budget place to stay. About 50% of the rooms are renovated as for now the rest are still under going renovation work. The room and bathroom is clean and spacious and have two queen size beds. However there is no lift serving the 3 story high inn so you just have to use the stairs. There is a nice pool view at every balcony instead of seaview. They have a jaguzzi pool too. The inn's cafe serve nice chinese, western and local dishes but the portion is small. Breakfast is simple but good enough. The staffs are quite friendly and services are prompt. Wifi is available but must buy a whole month package for the connection.

Unique Quality: It is a small inn that does not cost you much effort to wonder around. However it is very near to the tourist spot whereby pubs, local and chinese restaurant, mini mart, low budget chalets and some mini tour operators offering river boat ride, fishing trip and fire flies watching are all within walking distant.

Cherating Beach: Club Med

Legend Hotel Cherating: The Legend @ Cherating

We stayed at the Legend Cherating as part of our road trip during the long weekend end August 2007. The hotel was chosen based on the comparison of hotels in the Cherating area via Virtual Tourist and Tripadvisor

Post Stay Evaluation: Decent Hotel

Pros

Location was good
(1) It's located on the new Cherating Beach (Pantai Cherating Baru). It's not to far from Pantai Cherating Lama - where you can find a road leading to the beach and doted by cheap accommodation (chalets) & food/drink cafes, bistros & stalls + restaurants. Remember to check this road out if you make a visit to Cherating.

(2) Not far from Turtle sanctuary & Club Med.

(3) Has a pool (was clean) and is next to the beach. The beach was clean too! Though the sand is kinda brownish and if you want white powder, head over to Perhentian or Pulau Tenggol.

(4) Rooms are clean (Ask for the new wing. You kinda need to walk further)

Note: We had a car. Hence it was easy to get to places along Cherating.

Cons
(1) Age is taking its toll. Bathroom had stains in certain places e.g the sink. But personally, I'm not too fussed about it cuz of the price we paid. Hey ... this ain't no Pangkor Laut Resort where you pay 4 times the price! But the room itself (new wing) was ok and clean: )

(2) I reckon this place existed for many years (from my personal observation). You can tell from the fixture and fittings in the lobby area. Though the hotel has added new fixtures and fittings here and there and everywhere in the building and outdoor premises. So they've reinvested here and there I suppose.

Overall - was not disappointed.

Liked: Value
Disliked: Kinda getting old in some places but I'm sure every hotel goes through such a phase

Unique Quality: Beach was nice and smooth (across the landscape). Please don't expect white powder though!

Club Med Cherating

If you just want to relax, think about nothing, not even what to eat or drink, then go to the club - be warned though, the nearest town is probably something like an hour's away.
