Cherating Beach

I had a fantastic 3 nights 4 days at Club Med. The staff were lovely and very wholesome, being patient with all our needs. The food was fabulous with a wide variety of cuisines at the buffet, and the fine dining reservation at the private beach was decent too.

I want to give a shout out to Shen who was a fabulous bartender, delivering the best drinks Club Med had to offer. Very friendly and informative about other aspects of the resort too!

Thank you Club Med for this experience 🙏🏽 🏖️

Had an amazing stay Club Med Cherating — I’m especially grateful for the kindness, friendliness, and warmth of the GO team. I never truly felt alone at Cherating, even though I was travelling by myself. Be it through a meal at the restaurant, a random encounter along the gorgeous Pantai beach or drinks at the bar following each night’s activities.

The people
I wanted to specifically give a special shout-out the following GOs for making this stay so memorable and for going that extra mile to make me feel welcomed at the resort!

Grayson: Thank you for making me feel welcomed from the very start — I remember how you were the first person that ate with me at the resort. I’m also grateful for how you would always check-in with me throughout the stay and partying with me during the night activities! Love your sense of humour + dance moves too.

Jestina: I really like your energy! Thanks for always being so forthcoming and for always taking time to join me for meals — I hope you get to see your dog soon! Have fun in Bintan, I’m sure you’ll do great! #BestBoss

Nia: Thanks for the company throughout my stay! I always enjoyed hearing about your life experiences whenever we ate together and when we bumped into each other! Je trouve que c’est vraiment impressionnant la façon dont tu parles français avec tant d’éloquence!

Neka: When I first arrived in Cherating, I never thought I would someone who trained and practiced as a lawyer — but I’m certainly very glad to have met you! Thank you for always popping by during lunch/dinner! (And for giving me hope that
I also wanted to thank everyone else who I had the chance to grab a meal with — Ahmed, Kaan, Dinesh, Juan and so many more. Huge thanks for Luqman for being my pilates-instructor throughout the stay as well (who also sneakily changed teams during pool games hehe). It was great meeting you as well Shuru — I hope you will enjoy your tenure in Cherating and thanks for drinking with me at the bar! Also shout-out to our tennis instructor Kyon and climbing instructor Iziak (sorry if I spelled your name wrongly)

It was nice travelling back to the airport as well Judi! (I hope Phuket treats you well!) And of course, thank you to the amazing bar team — Charo, Poppy, and Kirshen — for fuelling my alcoholism throughout the trip. Yes, I would like a Cherating (to)night, not tomorrow night HAHA. Special thanks to the reception team — ky and mo — as well!

There were also so many other amazing GOs at the resort, though unfortunately I did not manage to catch their names. As a solo traveller, it was also really easy to meet and talk to the other GMs as well, and I think the culture is really open!

My stay in Cherating been a genuine pleasure. Meeting you guys has been the highlight of my trip, and I hope we keep in touch! I hope to see you guys again!

The place

Cherating beach is idyllic — sun-kissed beaches and the comforting tranquillity of the lush Malaysian jungles. There’s a natural beauty to the place which is very rare — and it’s also very peaceful at night.

Even though the resort certainly does show its age — the buildings, though well maintained, do need a renovation — I still found it to be comfortable. I stayed in block N, and waking up to the sunrise was a breathtaking experience.

I would strongly recommend a stay at Cherating (though I would also advice you to book early! I think CM might renovate the property soon)

I stayed at Club Med Cherating from 19 to 23 June 2025 and had an absolutely incredible experience. From the moment I arrived, everything felt well thought-out and wonderfully executed.

The food was a real highlight, not your typical buffet. The variety and quality were impressive, with something for every taste, from local dishes to international favourites. Every meal felt like a treat.

What really made the stay memorable were the activities. There was never a dull moment. From watersports like kayaking and sailing to archery and other land-based activities, there was plenty to keep everyone entertained. Whether you’re looking for relaxation or adventure, the resort delivers.

I’d also like to extend a special thank you to the amazing G.O team who made the experience even more enjoyable:

• Mr Satish, Mr Shen, and Ms Poppy from the Bar Team for their excellent drink combinations and incredible patience managing the crowd. It’s fantastic how they handle everything with a smile.

• Ms Laurel from the Restaurant Team – for her warm hospitality and attentiveness at every meal.

• Ms Jennie from the Spa Team – for her excellent recommendations on the spa packages, which made my experience even more relaxing and rejuvenating.

• And from my daughters: Mr Durian, Ms Bunny, and Ms Mango from the Mini Club! Thank you for being very funny, kind, and nice. They said you were so much fun to be with and really took great care of them. It meant a lot!

Highly recommend Club Med Cherating for anyone looking for a fun, all-inclusive escape with great food, a beautiful natural setting, and a team that goes above and beyond.

Wonderful place for a family holiday with so many activities we could have stayed a month!. We took advantage of the baby club to give us a bit of a rest and the team there were very caring and professional.
All the staff in the resort were very friendly and welcoming.
