Hotels in Balok

"My friend and I each got a king room. Overall, the service and the hotel's garden design were excellent. The price is quite a good value for a villa-style resort of this caliber. There are gardeners maintaining the flowers and plants every day, creating a beautiful 'step-by-step changing scenery' effect. The only minor downside is that some facilities are a bit old, but any issues we raised were immediately resolved. The front desk staff had a slight accent, but for anyone who understands English, communication was perfectly fine. There's a private beach area upfront where you can relax and watch the sea, which was a really nice touch. There are also cute little cats in the courtyard that will interact and play with you."

"Pros: - The hotel is clean - The villa was surrounded by greenery, and surprisingly, there were no mosquitoes at night - Each room has a dedicated parking spot (though there was some confusion upon arrival, we have to park at public parking first then after check in only move to the reserved parking. ) - Water park looks good Cons: - Facilities are very old - Bed springs were noticeable and uncomfortable. - Bathtub had visible cracks. - Showerhead and towel bar were rusty. - Beach area had overgrown grass. - Breakfast staff were unfriendly. - Food was average."

"Last visited in 2022, and at that time we were still able to use the swimming pool at the RC Villa. However under the new ownership, access is now restricted to villa guests only for privacy reasons. Additionally, the hotel should consider upgrading its facilities as the furniture is becoming quite dated"

"So happy to stay there and enjoy every moment there...the beach is clean and only walking distance from the hotel..my kids very happy playing at the pool"

"One-night last-minute stay at The Kasturi Resort, Cherating with my husband and two kids. First time here and overall satisfied. Calm, relaxing resort and we enjoyed the spa. However, there is no kids’ club, so it may be better suited for couples or families whose kids enjoy quieter activities. Still a pleasant and refreshing short stay."

"The villa was cool and the staffs are all friendly and cater to our request. The overall ambiance is so comfortable and definitely worth a visit for families to relax and spending time together"

"While the hotel itself feels somewhat dated and could benefit from modernization, its true gem is the **pristine, breathtaking beach**. The soft, white sand and crystal-clear waters make it an absolute paradise. Our kids had an amazing time **collecting seashells and spotting tiny crabs** along the shore—it was a perfect blend of fun and adventure for them. Additionally, the **pool area offered stunning views of the beach**, allowing us to enjoy the best of both worlds. The kids loved swimming while taking in the scenic ocean backdrop. If you’re looking for a **relaxing beach getaway with family-friendly activities**, this place delivers—just don’t expect luxury accommodations. The natural beauty and kid-friendly experiences more than made up for the hotel’s aging facilities. **Final Verdict:** Great for beach lovers, but the hotel itself needs upgrades."

"Very Satisfied and Overall is a good and worth stay. Staff is friendly. Bfast is delicious especially mee goreng basah was so good. However, my suggestion is to add-on more menu for bfast. Will come back again."

"I was very satisfied with my stay at Tanjung Inn Cherating. The location is excellent, with plenty of cafés and shops within walking distance, and the property connects directly to the beach. The only downside is that the hotel is on higher ground, so getting to the beach means walking up and down a sandy path without proper stairs. Service was generally good, and I found WhatsApp to be the fastest way to reach staff — when I reported a plumbing issue, it was fixed immediately after I texted. Amenities are thoughtful, like the mosquito repellent provided in the room, though the water dispenser was broken and housekeeping doesn’t clean daily or replenish water unless requested. Despite these small inconveniences, the atmosphere is peaceful, the surroundings are charming, and it feels like a great place to slow down and enjoy Cherating. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, and I would happily return."

"Unit B-2-8 it's time to change the toilet cover. Master bedroom lights can't be turn off so I ended up sleeping with the lights on. Toilet seat is full of mould marks. Cleanliness is still OK, just a tiny bit of repairs will make my stays feels better. I always love coming back to Samsuria as it's located next to the beach. However, beaches are now fills with rubbish. We cleaned what we can and bring it back to the compound. Overall, there's room of improvement. Old building but perfect gateway"
