Cherating is a nice place to unwind and get away from it all. However, be prepared for a bit of a long ride after you exit the highway at Kuantan - the rest of the road is a trunk road and not as smooth.
Try the Shadow of the Moon located at Pantai Cherating for a backpackers haven of food and drinks.

Some of the good choice of visits is the River Cruise on Sungai Cherating ($15 per person @ 2 hours). You'll see snakes, lizards, mud skippers on the swampy banks - the water is black (soil) and very still, beautiful reflection. Twice daily in the morning 8am or evening 4pm. There is pasar malam in Kemaman (about 20 mins drive) every Thursday evening. Lots of good local food and souvenir. Stuffed crab is a popular dish ($5-6/crab), you should try it.

Driving to Impiana from Kuantan wasn't easy as there were no clear directions as to the location of Cherating. Drivers need to head toward Chukai/Kemaman/Kuala Terengganu (ignore the Pelabuhan Kuantan turnoff!). We found 2 interesting restaurants about 6-7km south of Impiana (near The Legend turn off): Restoran Peninsula (offers a variety of Chinese & western cooking) and the Golden Beach Restaurant (speciality: steamboat & sea food).

If you are staying in Impiana Resort, you can have your meal at the small town call Cukai. It is located at the north of Impiana Resort and only 10 mins drive. You also can take your meal at Cherating Village, it is located at the south of Impiana Resort and after Club Med. If you are going to see sunrise early in the morning at the beach, remember to spray mosquito repeller. The itch of mosquito bite can last for a week.

We went into Kuantan one of the evenings to have a look around and although there is not a lot around there we did find an excellent Chinese restaurant (can't think of the name but next door to the sushi place!!). Excellent food and very cheap. Apart from that we didn't leave the Impiana resort as the main purpose of the few days away was to relax by the pool and beach.

The resort was almost empty when we were there and as it is quite isolated. One could feel bored after a few days especially if you have no car to get out. Not to be missed is a boat trip on the Cherating river deep into the jungle. Goods places to eat and drink as well as shopping facilities at Cherating beach 4 km away.

We went to Kuantan to get away from it all. No tours, no visits and we only ate in the hotel restaurant.
One important point to note when driving from Singapore to Kuantan is to take the North-South Highway, then exit at Yong Peng fro the Segamat Highway. Also, try to do your travelling along the Segamat highway late at night, to avoid the traffic.

Food at Impiana is rather expensive but there is a nice eating place - Duyong Duyong - a few mins drive after Club Med in the direction of Kuantuan. Good food and cheap, had lunch three times there during my stay and had not exhausted the food. Just outside Club Med, there is a turtle conservation observatory, free entry and you'll get to learn about the turtle conservation efforts.
