Cherating Beach Malaysia

Great family oriented concept offering a varied set of sport activities. Facilities outdated, however great staff, great food that made the 1 week stayover a memorable one.

Thank you to Circus staff and Mini Club Med staff making the time spent memorable and pleasant for our kids. Special thanks to Wafi Waffle) who has been a great friend for our son Marius.

The one star minus is due to outdated facilities, mainly for the accommodation but also for the sports facilities.

The resort has breathtaking sea views for nice family photography. Buffets have a good selection of cuisines. The restaurant located nearby the private beach with booking is worth trying with a few course meal. We enjoyed the shows put up by the GOs.

This was our second visit to Cherating, from Australia.

The resort is in desperate need of renovation but the bones of an amazing relaxing family holiday are still there.

The food is exceptional, with something for everyone.

The activities are great (even though you are discouraged from swimming in the ocean - maybe out of extreme risk aversion?)

The location -set in the rainforest, on the south China sea, feels so remote and peaceful. My kids loved to spot the monkeys and lizards. We had a week of digital detox and feel so refreshed.

We just came back from the most memorable family holiday at Club Med Cherating—and we’re still talking about it! The setting is stunning, the activities are endless, and the people we met made the experience truly unforgettable.

Huge shoutout to Mr. Karan, Mr. Kaan, Ms. Chloe, Mr. Charon (bar team), Mr. Nazmi (lifeguard), and Mr. Ram (security guard). From day one, Mr. Karan and Mr. Kaan warmly welcomed us and shared so many helpful tips. Mr. Karan especially had a beautiful connection with our kids—they followed him around during dinner, and on our final day, my youngest son was holding Mr. Karan’s hand and refusing to let go. He cried himself to sleep after leaving.

Mr. Ram was incredibly kind and watchful at the beach, always making sure our kids stayed safe and never ran too far. My son was especially upset he didn’t get to say goodbye to him, and even asked if he could draw him a picture and write a note.

We met Mr. Nazmi during our kids’ zorbing session—he was so friendly and made sure they had fun while staying safe.

A special thanks to Ms. Chloe, Mr. Charon, and the entire bar team. Even when things got busy, they served everyone with patience and a smile. Tip: go for simple drinks during peak hours, and ask for their special cocktails when it’s quieter—they’re amazing!

The Mini Club Med team was also incredible—especially Mr. Waffle, Miss Kiwi, and Ms. Mango. My kids loved every activity, and thanks to the team, I could enjoy more of the resort knowing they were well cared for.

Club Med Cherating is more than just a resort—it’s the people who made it feel like home. Thank you for giving us such unforgettable memories!
