"This was my second visit here, and this time I brought my parents along. However, this stay was less enjoyable. The main reason was that the swimming pool, which was exclusive to guests during my previous visit, was open to outside visitors this time. As a result, the pool was quite crowded, and it was hard to move freely when trying to swim. Other than that, everything else was perfectly fine."
"Although the hotel is a bit old, it offers great value for money. The beach is beautiful, the environment is relaxing, and everything is clean and well maintained. I truly enjoyed my stay here and will definitely come back again!”"
"It was a good place to spend 4 days. Clean and spacious room, comfortable territory and very nice people. Breakfast was OK, you can always order by menu in case the dishes served on breakfast were not to your taste. Large parking 24/7. Direct way to the beach."
"A great place to stay in Cherating 🏝️🩵 the staff are very friendly and helpful, feels welcomed. The room is very clean and spacious. The view from the balcony of Villa 115 is so beautiful. Definitely will come again."
"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."
"I love to stay here very much. Came with my family for a short stay, we enjoyed our time here due to its spacious villa, located in front of the beautiful beach of Cherating, got private pool thats one of the most important part, excellent hospitality by the hotel's staff, the foods were great! And got free snacks and soft drinks too in the fridge."
"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."

"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."
"PRO
Hotel location walking distance to beach and close to popular dining places & cafes. Helpful & Attentive staff.
CONS
This is an aging hotel and the maintenance can`t catch up as the years progresses. Our first night was terrible when we found out that the bed is full of bed bugs. The next morning they apologised for the issue and we were transferred to a new room. There always old marks & old stains on the bedsheet, blankets, toilets, walls but might be acceptable for some. No phone in the room, you have to call using your own phone if you want to reach the front counter. Breakfast 2.5/5. Again cleanliness is the issue, bowls, plates, you will find some particles in them. And the food is just average and cold.
OVERALL : Just ok, below my expectation.
WILL I RETURN? : Maybe no"
