My stay at Residence Inn Cherating had its positives and negatives. On one hand, the hotel offered a nice environment and good value for families. However, I found the check-in slower than expected and the service could use a real boost in friendliness. Overall, it’s decent but I wouldn't say it’s the best option for beach access.

Service was quite slow and I've experienced some awkward encounters. For example, a female staff member at the coffee shop seemed to treat us suspiciously when asking for a coupon. More smiles would definitely improve the experience.
