Actually Cherating on the east coast is just 2.5hrs from KL, enter Gombak Toll here, exit Jabur Toll at the other end. So just add a little bit of travel time (along safe, fast, scenic East Coast Expressway) and you can get beaches, sceneries and foods miles better than PD. :mrgreen:

Agree with Bro Naim. Cherating is quite nice - quiet, relaxing and breezy. But depends on which part of Cherating one intends to go. Kg. Cherating Lama is my choice compared to Club Med (wasn't all that great as hyped up in advertisements; the only thing I find Club Med winning hands down is the unlimited booze that one can drink 24/7 :lol: ). Food-wise, Kg. Cherating Lama doesn't offer much but Kuantan & Kemaman are just a short drive away, so should be no problem.

Hehehe, actually the northern part of Cherating, near the Trengganu border, is more pristine and pretty ... about here:

The pics above are from Suria Resort which is just beside Impiana. Location is:

Suria is way cheaper than Impiana, but hey same beach lah.
