Cherating club med resort

"Another unforgettable memories at Club Med"

(3938) 5★ comments on Tripadvisor

"We've just spent ten days at Club Med Cherating. We've previously stayed at Club Med Phuket and it was great to see that each Club Med has its own flavour and style. We absolutely loved everything about CM Cherating.

  1. Resort
    The resort is phenomenal. There is something for everyone from the family-friendly massive resort pool (which includes a shallow section for the little ones) to the adults-only gorgeous zen pool, beautiful beach and beautiful walks with lots of wildlife.
  2. Zen pool and beach
    I have to mention this separately as this was an absolute gem. You can take the 5min train ride from the resort (one every half an hour) or you can take a beautiful jungle walk (there is a path and I highly recommend doing this walk) that takes you there in ten mins. The zen pool has its own staff and small bar. It has views to die for over the ocean. It is also conveniently located next to the water sports beach where you can do sailing, kayaking, safe swimming or take part in the many activities like beach BBQs, beach volleyball etc.
  3. The best resort for families
    We have a 16yo and 11yo. Both had an absolute ball at Teen club with Andrea which made them feel like they were part of the team from Day 1. We basically didn't see our kids other than breakfast, dinner, night shows and excursions and they both said it was the best holiday they've ever had.
  4. Great buffets
    A great deal of variety daily with lots of choices. You could choose from Asian, Japanese, Carvery, Malaysian, Italian, Fast food, Salad bar, specially plated entrees, dessert bar, bakery, juice bar and sodas. We're not big drinkers so I can't comment on the alcohol other than the odd delicious cocktail we tried. One of my kids is quite fussy with food and he was very happy with the daily choices of pasta, pizza, salads and roast dinner.
  5. Activities and excursions: like in every Club Med, the list of activities on offer is staggering. We enjoyed the pool activities, kayaking and yoga. Our kids tried absolutely everything. As a family we also booked three extra excursions (extra fee) which I want to mention here as we all felt they were fantastic: baby turtle release, mangrove cruise and firefly night excursion. We got to see a bit of Malaysia outside of the resort and made great family memories.
  6. The people:
    [...]Club Med is about the experience. The moment you're welcomed into the resort you feel you're part of a family. The staff know you and your kids by name [...]. Every moment of our stay at Club Med Cherating was filled with joy, smiles and 100% sense of relaxation - even when we were partying late, dancing at the Neon Party (highly recommended by the way). So, if you want to make magic memories with your family, have fun trying out lots of different activities, want to eat delicious food, sip amazing cocktails and enjoy fabulous entertainment Club Med is for you.

    Thank you for an unforgettable holiday! "

"A wonderful holiday !"

"A simply lovely holiday!

I visited Club Med Cherating with a girlfriend for a 10 day stay and we had a truly wonderful trip.

The grounds are so beautiful and the balance between the jungle and beautifully maintained gardens is perfect. Such care is taken by the grounds staff and it must be an enormous job. Huge well done to them.
The main pool area is lovely. Open and light. Lots of sun loungers and umbrellas for a relaxing day.
The rooms are quite simple but the housekeeping staff ensure that everything is very clean and tidy. The housekeeping team were so great at making up the room quickly like magic each morning.

For adults travelling without children the Zen Pool is a haven. Quiet, beautiful, and serene. With a private bar and lovely sea breezes who could ask for more?

Three restaurants at the resort offer food around the clock. The main restaurant has something for everyone. Chinese, Indian, Italian, Japanese, Malay, Western fares are all on offer. My travel companion is a vegan and was thrilled at the offerings. So much fresh fruit and vegetables on offer keep you from feeling like you are overdoing it.

The activities and events that Club Med put on are really special. We enjoyed the early morning stretching/yoga classes each day. For those who want to be really active there are a million choices to keep you going from dawn to dusk.

The shows are a lot of fun as well. The staff are all so talented and work so hard to ensure everyone is having a good time. There's always some kind of activity to follow the shows as well. Though I'm no party animal I could hear the crowd revelling and dancing away the evening so if that is something that you enjoy then you will be well catered for.

Last, but certainly not least, mention must be made to the incredible staff (GOs). Warm and welcoming and super friendly the staff make the experience at Cherating very special. Always greeting you through the day with smiles or you may even be joined by one or two GOs at dinner.

Would 100% return to Club Med Cherating!"

Overall very good but the bedrooms need improving.

4/54/5 • 10/10/2025

Overall the stay was good and most importantly the children had a great time.

The main restaurant was at times difficult to find a clean empty table, especially towards the end of service. However, once dining the attentiveness of the staff was good. The quality of the food was excellent.

My major gripe would be the standard of the rooms. The rooms were smaller than expected, but ok in size. However the decor was dated and lighting wasn't great. In the bathroom, mould was an issue. Both around the tiled floor and on the ceiling. This is not what I expect for the price paid. Other small things include the safety notice being stuck to the rear of the door with sticky tape. The fridge could also have done with a defrost.

Unfortunately, noise was a little bit of an issue with loose floorboards outside the rooms causing loud noises when children were running.

However, overall we did enjoy our 1st stay at ClubMed and will hopefully be returning. The staff were excellent and the gardens etc. were beautiful.

My stay at Club Med Cherating was truly memorable
Thanks for the hospitality of the G.O. and the cozy vibes there is really enjoyable and relaxing.

Besides, I want to highlight the exceptional service of bar team. They are warmth and friendly, especially the bartender Charo, made every drink with care and creativity, his cheerful and attentive manner made me feel welcoming and lively.

Ohh, there is one more highlight, the pistachio gelato in Mutiara restaurant is delicious 🤭

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 An unforgettable solo getaway!

5/55/5 • 09/10/2025

I spent 3 amazing days at Club Med Cherating and absolutely loved every moment of it! The setting is stunning, lush jungle, a beautiful beach, and peaceful surroundings that make you feel truly away from it all.

The G.Os were fantastic, super friendly, fun, and always ready to help or share a good laugh. Even though I was traveling solo, I never once felt alone. The activities were varied and really well organized, with something for everyone.

The food was delicious and full of variety, and the whole atmosphere of the resort was relaxed, welcoming, and full of positive energy.

I left feeling completely recharged and already thinking about when I can come back. Huge thanks to all the staff for making this stay so special!

Highly recommend Club Med Cherating, whether you’re traveling solo, with friends, or as a family, it’s a truly memorable experience!
