Drove to Sg Pandan waterfall and almost got lost. The water is murky.
The beaches in Cherating Lama and Balok has sandflies. So need to spray lots of insect repellant

Stayed at Swiss Garden Resort & Spa, Kuantan - Pahang, Malaysia.

The hotel is located about 8 km from Kuantan. We caught a taxi from the main bus terminal for 15 RM, although we were offered 10 RM and thought it too high (and were too embarrased to return to the same driver). From the hotel we used the hotel's van service to get to Cherating and stayed at the Tanjung Inn. The van driver was anxious to steer us towards the Residence Inn and when we refused he was rude. We paid 30RM for the ride but this probably could be cheaper with an outside taxi.

Stayed at Berjaya Tioman Beach, Golf & Spa Resort - Pahang, Malaysia.
|
Activities are limited but the staff operating the services were friendly and helpful. The food was expensive and only one restaurant provided an Ala Carte menu with the rest having buffets and barbecues at ridiculous prices. As such, the place was always packed and the service was very slow as a result. On the good side, we did have a good time jet skiing and kayaking and the beach was beautiful. Tioman is a very nice place but too bad it is managed horribly by the people there.

Stayed at Holiday Villa Cherating - Pahang, Malaysia.
|
For those with own transport, a north-bound drive to Kemaman at the border with Trengganu will avail the visitor to quite a few low profile Chinese restaurants that offer fantastic dishes at very cheap prices.
Also, a cruise along Cherating river (don't try fishing - I caught nothing for three hours) is nice. Try to arrange yourself if possible as it is quite expensive through the hotel at MYR70 per person.
Avoid seafood restaurant called Frankie's just opposite the hotel - a rip off targeted at the unsuspecting tourist.
