Cherating Beach Malaysia

Despite the fact that renovation is becoming a real must, the nature, the people and the vibe made this 7th time at Cherating again a great holiday!
For the first time, we had a club med transfer from KL to Cherating where normally we would take the plane from KLIA to KUA. We stayed the night in KL and next morning were picked up at the hotel by CM.
As Platinum member, before we arrived we were already contacted. Although they could not guarantee our room preference, they did everything possible to accommodate.
Authentic as it is, Cherating is up for renovation. The village has a beautiful Malaysian look, but moving the restaurant to sea side would indeed give guests a beautiful view of the sea and a welcome cool breeze. Hopefully this will happen. Our room was already renovated and we had a nice view of the sea (h-block).
Upon our arrival we could immediately enjoy our holiday. Our room was soon available and Dee Adenan with her team made sure it was perfect in order. Thank you! In the meantime, Young took good care of us, welcoming us back home!
We were happy to meet Sean (restaurant manager) again as we entered the restaurant. Sean and his team always make sure guests are served as best as they can. And our thoughts were met with yet again an excellent experience during our stay: tables were cleaned and available on time making it possible for everyone to sit where they want. Having Chef Rudyanto has brought a positive change to the restaurants: more variety in the main restaurant as well as an improvement in the Rembulan. Lunch and dinner have improved greatly. One of our regrets during our stay: not having had dinner more often in the Rembulan!
During the mornings we enjoyed time in the Zen pool. Very nicely situated on the other beach: quiet and in a beautiful surroundings with equal view. Yes, this too needs some improvement, but it remains a great way to unwind after a hectic period. Especially when Shen is there serving drinks!
On this side of the village (accessible either by walking through the jungle or taking the mini-train), there is also sailing, beach volleyball and rock climbing. Our son (1m97) did the rock climbing which was great fun. Last year there were monkeys at the top looking down on him. This time i guess they were having holiday themselves…
My husband went sailing and with some instructions to first go beyond the sandbanks, it is possible to enjoy a nice stretch of sea to sail across in the hobbycat.
We find that every Club med village comes with a number of advantages: you don’t need to think twice about what to pack; just follow the dress code, there is always a nurse or even doctor on-site on call, and everything converges around the bar (just go there to be entertained). As always, the bar staff are incredible. Shout out to Poppy and Indra together with the rest of the team (Zhi, Rou, Zero, Anth, Abegoss and Shen) know how to run the place. Always with a smile and a quick chat. Seeing Poppy on stage for the department dance was a big eye-opener!! You can swing! And thanks to Indra to connect with our next destination the week after (Bali) and letting them know what we drank so our drinks would be ready the moment we arrived there :-) . Things just couldn’t get better :-). From the bar we were able to watch the shows in the theater and dance the night away to the beats of DJ Oneil! Good to know: during the day at different moments, there is a food cart in the bar where Hardy, Kian, or Seong serve snacks.
During the day but especially in the evenings, it is good to connect with the GO’s. Catching up with Dinesh, Sean and Nita, Young and Dee! But also Mario and Julie. So great to be able to spend time and lunches/dinners together! Deservingly, during our stay, Mario became the new Sports manager. There is a great interaction between all the sports GO’s. Always smiling and enjoying what they do. Their positivity makes our holiday so enjoying. Is there a problem, they solve it. Great mentality!
This all under the leadership of CdV Clayton Da Matta. As mentioned, your positivity radiates through the whole team and this brings the excellent vibe that we always look forward to. That’s why we keep coming back to you and the team (which will be end of January again)!

This resort is fun and lively in the way of all activities and the staffs are very commited to make sure the guests are in good state. It's highly recommended to stay out with the resort.

Thank you to the miniclub team Eva, Rose, Marina, Audrey, Angela, Delian , Kgomotso, FIDA, Miya, Yini, Liz for taking care of my kids. my kids love miniclub so much that they don’t want to leave. Will comeback soon for sure. I will recommend this village to my other family member and friends.

Overall a good experience. GOs were friendly and service was very good. Food spread was excellent. Many activities at the resort. In order to get access to the Zen Pool and water sport activities, you need to take the shuttle bus which was frequent and on time

We had an amazing holiday at Club Med Cherating Beach and truly felt the warmth and enthusiasm of the G.Os. Metthew absolutely loved the Mini Club and looked forward to the activities every day. He adored all his teachers—REBEKAH, ANGELA, MIYA, MARINA, DELLIAN, and everyone else—who were so loving and patient. Can’t wait to see you all again next time!
