Hotels Near Fireflies Watching (Kelip-Kelip) Cherating Mangrove River in Kuantan

It's my first time at Cherating. A Lovely village full of friendly people. The hotel was better than the booking photos. The location was great for the beach and the local cafes and restaurants. The hotel staff were kind. They also had a SPA, and the service was excellent. The nearest local cafe drinks were divine. I had a good stay overall.

I spent 3 days 2 nights here with my family for vacation. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality that made us feel right at home. The process, from unloading our luggage to checking in at the reception, was smooth and efficient. The porter and reception staff were polite and beaming with smiles. We stayed in a studio room, as we needed more space for our active child to move around. The room was in tip top condition—spacious, newly renovated with chic design, and maintained at the highest level of cleanliness. I would say, what you see on Trip is exactly what you get! I want to give special recognition to the Swiss Care team, especially a sweet and polite lady named Sihma (Swiss Care #1), who promptly and efficiently responded to all of our calls. She went the extra mile to ensure all our reasonable requests were met. The swimming pool attendants were diligent in their duties, ensuring the safety of all swimmers. Syed Lukman is one of them. The breakfast provided was consistently replenished to accommodate all diners. I especially enjoyed the nasi lemak on the second day—the meat was tender, perfectly spiced, and juicy. Kudos to the chefs and café staff for their excellent skills! I also noticed that a few middle-aged Malaysian aunties were employed as part-time workers in the café during the busy weekend. Despite their age, they worked efficiently and professionally. I think this is a commendable practice, providing job opportunities while boosting the local economy. The lobby and main facilities were a bit run-down, but I didn’t mind since they are currently undergoing upgrades, which are expected to be completed by next year. I’m excited to return when the renovations are finished!

Room spacious, clean and comfortable. Pillows were fluffy, bed warm and soft. Breakfast spread had a lot of variety and sumptuous. Location excellent, just opposite East Coast Mall, and behind the hotel was a night food court with plenty of choices. Basement parking was easy and ample. Overall, a very satisfactory stay.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at AC Marriott Kuantan and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The hotel combines modern elegance with top-notch service, making it a truly memorable stay. The room was spacious, stylishly decorated, and immaculately clean. The bed was extremely comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. I particularly appreciated the thoughtful amenities provided, such as the high-quality toiletries and the coffee maker. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, always ready to assist with a smile. The hotel's facilities, including the pool and fitness center, were well-maintained and provided a great way to unwind. Dining at the hotel's restaurant was a highlight, with a wide variety of delicious dishes to choose from. The breakfast buffet offered an impressive selection of both local and international cuisine. The location is perfect, situated close to the city center and within easy reach of popular attractions and shopping areas. Overall, AC Marriott Kuantan offers excellent value for money, combining luxury and comfort with exceptional service. I highly recommend it for both business and leisure travelers.

It was a great stay at Hyatt Regency. Room was cosy and bed was comfortable. We particularly liked the bathroom area as it was very wide and spacious and had a sliding door to open to see your room. However our garden facing room was actually facing the forest and tennis court, and a little far walk from the lobby. Pool area was quite small. Nothing much to complain about as the location was really good, you have direct access to the beach and less crowd compared to the public part of Teluk Cempedak.

Hotel GM is clean and is situated near the city center. Around the place, you would find plenty of eateries and restaurants. A recommended stay for business travelers and family trips.

I was assigned a room at 4th floor. Since its at lower level of its 15 storey, I requested a room facing not facing the noisy main street. Good choice: view of a football filed, a mosque and part of the city. The room: The Hotel management probably believe that 1980s heyday decor is a selling point. Save for the flat screen telly, the rest still preserves its 80s setting: louvred wardrobe, bedside cabinet central console with rocker switches, blanket on top of sheets (not quilt), tiled (not marbled) bathroom floor, queen (not king) bed. They try to keep the cleanliness but the permanent stains on chairs, moulds around aircond vent, peeling furniture paint, mildew on bathroom wall are beyond the housekeeping department’s routine; the whole place needs serious makeover.

I had a wonderful stay at the Swiss Bell Hotel. My sea view room provided spectacular sunrise views, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was a highlight, with a wide variety of delicious foods and drinks. Overall, the stunning views, warm hospitality, and excellent breakfast made my stay unforgettable. However it would be much better if the cleanliness of the room could be upgraded. Highly recommended for a relaxing seaside retreat.

During our stay at the villa, we thoroughly enjoyed the private pool and semi-outdoor bath tub. The room was impressive, with a spacious and comfortable bed. The bathroom, connected to the outdoor platform, was stunning, and the hot, steaming bath water was a highlight. The branded toiletries, including the additional body lotion, were a great touch, especially after swimming. Highlights of our stay included the private pool, the complimentary high teas, and the option to have breakfast served in the restaurant or in-room. The resort also offered amenities such as complimentary buggy rides, bike rentals, and various free games. Exploring the vast resort, with its nature sounds and relaxing atmosphere, was a memorable experience. Additionally, the dinner and bar were worth visiting and offered affordable options. However, the air conditioning in the room was not effective at night, and some of the bikes provided were not in the best condition. The steep slopes in the resort also posed a challenge, as I had a biking accident due to my own excitement and adrenaline rush. It's important to be cautious when using the bikes. For other dining and leisure options, Gambang offers local Chinese eateries, and Kuantan town, just an hour's drive away, provides modern cafes, shopping opportunities, and beach access.
