Mega View Hotel

4 of 5 stars
Gloucester
24 Sep 2008

After finding myself stuck in Kuantan. I headed for a Megaview hotel to stay a few days. I stayed on the 9th floor room 905, which had amazing views across the river. The only problem with the room was the shower curtain was missing and the overall bathroom, small. The satellite TV channels are limited, if you are an international... more

In all the steaks i have had, this one serves one of the best. Medium-rare was so juicy and succulent. Worth your money. Simple setting but with lovely ambience. Complete with local oil lamps on the perimeter. You can choose to sit in the cool indoors or the natural outdoors verandah. more

I happened upon this hotel by accident during the long Merdeka (August) hols as we were supposed to be staying at Cherating however all resorts were full. Folks, for the price that you pay there, this hotel is way above expectations. My family and I were pleasently surprised by the check in as it was done speedily and staffs were... more

Tacky club/pub stuck in some undecipherable time warp! Still managed to have a riotous time despite the terrible band and drinks :) more

Again it's a convenient outlet if you're staying at the Hyatt. Buffet and a la carte are decent enough. Always nice being by the sea :) more

This is the second time we stayed here. Stayed here in Early Aug, Booked a suite for 2 days. Was upgraded because the hotel was full. Exec suite was good except that it can get a bit dark at night when you wanna do some reading, must improve on lighting in lounge area. Left the next day at 4pm because... more

Club Med Cherating Beach

22 Aug 2008

Just back from another great Club Med holiday,this time at Cherating.Fabulous in every way - the weather,the food and very friendly GOs. Had a great time sailing catamarans every day and some expert tuition in Archery so I have made a bit of progress. The circus team put on two very professional shows during the week which had us all... more

My Family and I have just returned from a stay at the Holliday Villa in Cherating, although I found the price range for the rooms to be a little pricey (RM230 per night for standard room) for the standard (3 Star is my opinion), the Hotel has alot to offer in ambiance, lush greenery, beautiful beach and quiet atmosphere. The... more

A little corner coffee shop and is the locals favourite pick for satay esp during Aidilfitri. I love their beef satay. Tender, not chewy. more

Holiday Villa Cherating

Lancashire, England
11 Aug 2008

The location was great, right on the beach (the beach and pool were about 100m from each other.) The beach was vast and clean and virtually deserted. The perfect beach resort much better than europes crowded beaches. The rooms were spacious and clean expect for a small ant infestation. The main hotel restaurant was resonably priced and breakfast was of... more

M.S. Garden Hotel Kuantan

2 of 5 stars
Victoria
9 Aug 2008

We arrived late Saturday afternoon. The staff seemed under considerable pressure and unwelcoming. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, although not completely renovated. The weekend was very busy and noisy. On the way from the airport our driver asked why we had come to Kuantan, as very few Australians do. This was not a good omen. A shuttle bus service... more

Assuming food and local tea and coffee at this outlet are as good as the one in Kemaman (which is too small for Trip Advisor map, it's not there); this is one of the best kopitiams in the East Coast. They also have sticky-rice tapai in banana leaf which I ordered with magnolia vanilla ice cream... Overall? Saying it as... more

We arrived in the evening and check in was a breeze. Kids love the hotel especially the pool and the beach just right next to it. The rooms are pleasantly decorated but the tiled floor was not mopped. We have to constantly wear our own beach slippers in the rooms. The slippers provided are way too big for asian's feet.... more

Club Med Cherating Beach

27 Jul 2008

We stayed at this beautiful forest retreat for 4 days and by the time we left we were fairly worn out from all the activities and a few kilos heavier from the fantastic food. This was the first time we had stayed at a CM and weren't sure what to expect but we can only give a positive recommendation. From... more

Stayed with my parents and kids for 4 nights. Only dined in Kampung Restaurant - buffet breakfast is good and buffet dinner is alright considering its only RM15/- more than breakfast. Ala-cart food is good too. Enjoyed The Deli next to the restaurant. It serves bread, biscuit, cakes, sandwich and processed meat. Beach is nice and its shared with the... more

We had a v good 8 night experience at Club Med with a number of other families from Perth Overall although it seems expensive at first it is grt value for money.
