Best hotels & accommodations in Cherating

we have been visiting cherating periodically for the last 25 years. sadly, cherating is dying as a top tourist attraction on malaysia's east coast, with very low occupancy levels. however, the legend resort has bravely maintained its high standards. our room was newly renovated to far more modern style. the beach front and its activities and the 3 swimming pools are a...

Hotel's location is 5 minutes away from the beach. We were greeted by friendly staffs at the lobby. Our room were located at the new block (carpark view). The room is very clean with new furniture. Swimming pool is clean. Most importantly, the place is not "haunted" compared to some other hotels in Cherating. The only downside we encountered was with housekeeping serv...

Stayed 3D2N at this beautiful hotel. Let me start with the good points, clean & beautiful beach, excellent staff attitudes, nice free dinner that comes with the room. To be honest, I think this is by far the best hotel in cherating now. The bad point would be the technical aspect, the room 301 that I stay have this aircond problem that keep turning on and off by itself...

Suria Cherating is located right at the Cherating area which is known for its long stretch beaches but be careful since it is close during monsoon season between November till March every year. Water sports facilities also can easily seen along the Cherating beach. Nevertheless the best part of Suria Cherating is that it is located at edge of Cherating near the borde...

Cherating is a very special place in Malaysia, not a typical touristy area more a relaxed place were you could meet some cool locals. Tanjung Inn is a very nice accomodation. We had a beach room, which was very nice. We have been more or less completly alone at the beach. Beach rooms are pretty new, so also very clean and in good conditions. The beach and the sea aren'...

Okay, this is my story. Before my trip over there, i read lots of bad reviews about this hotel. Nevertheless, i wanted to give it a shot since holiday villa is internationally known. My family n i booked into the superior duluxe. I would say, the room looks much smaller than the pic in the hotel's official webpage BUT it is still cozy n comfortable. No complaints bout ...

Beautiful villa concept with pool & jacuzzi in each villa. Private, quite, relaxing with only 12 villa with different states of Malaysia names. Beachfront on a lovely strip can enjoy a swim. There are outdoor activities available like beach football & volleyball. Tours to watch turtle landings, firefly cruise & mangrove cruise through "Hafiz Cherating River Activities...

i recomend u not to book this cheaper facilities. my friend stays near guest house. he said that facilities are same as the guest house which price is 70rm. managememt should afford more and more to make good resort place so that customer enjoy at cherating.

I stay for 3D2N and take Family Package. But the hotel only give us one mattress only, so we have to share 4 people in one mattress. Furthermore the bathroom, the sink in poor condition make the water stagnant. The room also not well-maintained. In night, there have karaoke night and its so noisy. The best thing here is easy to check in and out, nice staff, and near to...

Traveler impressions of Cherating
Great location for sun and beach seekers, but poorly maintained city. Some great local food options, hotel we stayed was poorly maintained.
Since cherating is near terenganu deep fried crackers (keropok ikan) are famous here. Keropok cap kapal or ship brand deep fried crackers are nice n sour jeed jard chewy tamarind was also famous here.
I am very very disappointed with the highway LPT from Gambang to Cherating. Too many "Reddish" lorries racing & colouring the road.
its a backpackers haven. try and stay long and complete an arts & craft project. or spend the day in a hammock reading, soaking up the atmosphere.
The resort and the beach there are nice, is very suitable for 1-2days relaxing trips, but no nightlife activities over there .
Local food - Satar and Otak-Otak. My favorite place will always be Warung Otak-Otak Che Wan, in Chukai.
a great place to be , away from hussle of Kuala Lumpur or big cities. the beaches offer nice, calm places to reenergise
Cherating Beach is located 45 km north of Kuantan and is one of the most sought after coastal beaches in Peninsular Malaysia.
Located between Kuala Terengganu and Kuantan. So you can easily travel to either terengganu or Kuantan after spending your time at Cherating.
Cherating is a small town. nothig much at here. you can go to Kemaman to have some nice seafood with just a 15mins drives.
we have stayed in Cherating 3 times now, twice as a couple and once with our Daughter and teenage boys.
Hafiz mangrove river cruise is worth to go. Turtle sanctuary is everywhere from Cherating to Kuala Terengganu.
Cherating is a very nice place to get involved in local activities. It is not easy to find expat families or visitors.
It is a great place to visit or come for a holiday with family and your loved ones.It is located near to attraction place and local restaurant.
Gorgeous private beaches. The public beach is quite OK. Shopping - mostly local products. Check out Cherating Turtle Sanctuary and batik tjanting class.
strategic locations with beautiful beaches, sunset and other attractions such as seasonal sighting of turtle breeding ground and sanctuary.
Under developed considering this is one of the best beach I have seen in Peninsular Malaysia. The over industrialization spanning from Kuantan is killing this gem with bushes fires throughout the 3 days I was there, just imagine the air pollution it had created.
Cherating is the best place to have a vacation with your family,children or for couple.This place can offer a lot of variety from different range price and can offer a lot of variety type restaurant with a good quality food.
A very nice place to spend from 1-2 days, otherwise you will start to get bored as night life is normal and not much of outside activities other than to get to Chukai or Kemaman town.
Hotel facilities very important bcoz nothing much to do in this area accept the beach view from the hotel.
It's a perfect place to have a holiday with family,friends or with your love ones.Here they promise satisfaction and money value for tourist that have been there.
This place situated between Kuantan and Kemaman - along way and good place for relexing and having a break.
The beach is beautiful.. and clean. some hotel share their beach with public, and even have beach motorised games and water game to enjoy.
nice beaches and sun, nice to relax.. can go turtle sanctuary have a look. see the baby turtle. they are so cute
I like Cherating for its beach, the good foods that available nearby like otak-otak, sata, keropok lekor (fish cracker), nasi dagang, nasi gulai kawah and the famous Hai Peng Coffee House.
Always loves the Cherating beach. very comforting weather. a lot of swimming activities and seafood.
Cherating located between kuantan town and cukai town, border line for pahang. If you like beach holiday , cherating is one of the nice place to consider, but dun expect much on shopping and night life in this area.
Beautiful and cleans beaches with a lot of hotels nearby such as Legend Resort, Holiday Villa, Suria Cherating, and Impiana Cherating.
Friendly local people, and mostly can understand simple english. Local people always welcome foreigners and greet them with lots of smiles.
Sleepy old surfer town. Small strip of stores and restaurants. Don't Tell Mama's is one of the better ones.

It’s the one of the best chalet under royal chulan located at kampong cherating that’s I had already visit before. It’s actually so comfortable and has a nice view with a large garden and a nice look to the beach. Breakfast was wonderful and they had a wide selection of foods. My son & husband loves it so much.

Other popular destinations in Malaysia
The beaches of Cherating are wide, clean and perfect for families, with the occasional bar, chalet, or bungalow dotting the sand.
This charming town’s laid-back personality and inexpensive accommodation options have made it a popular beach getaway for backpackers and domestic tourists. The most sought-after resorts are on the beach, surrounded by palm trees with long stretches of sand at their disposal.
Not that visitors to Cherating will want to leave the beach for long, but there are a few pursuits on offer that might tempt travelers away from the sun loungers. One of the most unique is definitely the Cherating Turtle Sanctuary. The sanctuary was first established to protect and reverse the dwindling number of leatherback turtles that often lay their eggs on Malaysia’s beaches. Visitors to the sanctuary can learn about the life-cycle of these turtles and even watch them as they come ashore to lay their eggs during the period of May through July. There is also the option to take part in a program that releases the hatchlings into the sea, which is done at night and is a popular activity among travelers to this area.
Balok Beach, which is located just south of Cherating Beach, is similarly clean and picturesque. It also offers an opportunity to take part in some windsurfing, kite-boarding, or just go back to the usual activity of sunbathing.
There is a lot more to see and do around Cherating, and the best way to discover the attractions, sites, and activities that this town has to offer is by exploring the interactive map on this page.
