Just a drive away from Kuantan Airport is Club Med Cherating. The beach is gorgeous with a private beach area, and you get the best of all things nature here. Food is pretty good with various selections of buffet (some ala carte some full buffet restaurant) included for all meals, some snack times too. We tried hiking as well, it was really fun but remember your mosquito repellent. Don’t miss the rock climbing too! We played the trapeze as well, and bonded with the family over water sports and land sports. 4D3N was good but we could’ve definitely stayed longer if we wanted to! #beachlife #malaysia #nature

Surfing wherever waves break, surfers will ride them. The concept is simple—a breaking wave, a board and a brave athlete are all that is needed. The concept is simple, but in actual practice it’s not. It needs a lot of energy to paddle against the current. This sport also increases ones patience as you have to wait under the sun for the right waves to come. A wave must be strong enough to ride, but not dangerous enough to toss the surfer as it breaks. Well we have done it, try it. Will we do it again? . . . #sun #adventure #surfing #cheratingkuantan #travelfreak

My first experience in Club Med was amazing. Clud Med Cherating has offered the amazing hospitality, foods and activities for the guests. We started with planning on our 3 days 2 nights schedule in the resort such as yoga, rock climbing, kayak, hiking, archery, badminton, tennis, trapeze and so much more. During free time, you can roam around especially the private beach and enjoy the breeze. This place is also family friendly, where they have different programs for infants and young children. When sun is set, this place turned into a performance center, all the crew members need to sing or dance, I could said all of them were multi talented. Well done Club Med and your hospitality, continue to spread your energy to others.

Alinaa Cafe & Catering Ground floor, B-22, Lrg Baluk Darat 13, Kampung Balok Baru, 26100 Kuantan, Pahang Since it was the last night for us in Kuantan, so we decided to try Western food, and eating here is a much pleasant! Their smoothies were soft and represent the exact silky smoothies rather than simply blend, the spaghetti carbonara was saucy creamy, korean spicy chicken wings were crispy and balanced taste between spiciness and sweetness and the highlight- the mac n cheese with meatballs. The mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese are super thick, and it went over the stovetop! The total damaged was RM 130+ for 5 pax 4.6 ☆ from me ♡ #deliciousfood #awesomepic #foodie

#newyearadventure Hidden gem in the woods by the beach. Resort crew are wonderful, units were tastefully designed. Only let down was the wave breakers along the beach, but you can still get some beach action towards the end of the resort at the clubhouse side. Food is great, especially the nasi lemak for breakfast. Milkshakes need a bit more of thickness. There's buggy to help you with luggages when check in and check out but other than that, walking around the resort is a calming experience. Good huge bedding as well! Perfect for honeymooners. #MyTripVlog #2023TravelWish #tripblazers #newyearadventure #yearofrabbit

Nature around the Kasturi brings an inner peace to my heart and mind. The coolest thing about this place is the privacy that it offers.

Not to forget the private pool where I can enjoy and take my own time to swim without being disturbed. #mytripvlog #2023travelwish #tripblazers
