Pictured above is a Cherating-locale shot — the beach or coastline this stay sits on, not the property itself. We’re sourcing licensed photos of the buildings and will swap them in.
A large hillside-and-beach resort spread over 6.5 hectares, best known for its two enormous swimming pools — the single most-praised thing about a stay here. Most rooms look over the sea or the pools. The honest catch: it’s an older property and reviews are mixed, with recurring notes about tired rooms and upkeep. Come for the pools and the space and the value, not for a polished modern resort.

Amenities
Our independent tip
Read very recent reviews before booking — the pools are genuinely good, but room condition is the common complaint, so it pays to check the latest photos and, if possible, book a recently refurbished room. Great for a group that will live in the pool; less so if you want a smart room.
