Explore Cherating’s pre-renovation rooms, photos and layouts, with closure updates and what to confirm before booking the renovated resort.
Club Med Cherating Review - Coconut Garden

Club Med Cherating is currently closed for renovation. A partial reopening is expected in December 2027, with bookings expected to open from March 2027, subject to Club Med confirmation. Dates, opening-phase facilities, room categories and package terms may change. See our Cherating renovation and reopening updates before making travel arrangements. Final room names, sizes, layouts and occupancy limits must be checked against the published reopening inventory.

To put the old room layouts in context, read our pre-renovation Cherating review. Our arrival guide covers earlier travel and resort-access arrangements that will need reconfirmation after reopening.

Let’s start with this: the Club Med Cherating rooms and suites weren’t just places to sleep. They were part of the whole escape. Nestled between thick jungle and calm coastline, the pre-renovation rooms brought you close to nature without giving up comfort.

Located along the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, the resort sits between powdery beaches and dense tropical forest. It’s wild out there, but step into your room, and suddenly it’s quiet. Calm. Thoughtfully put together. Like the best kind of contrast.

Before the closure, the choice ranged from compact Superior Rooms to spacious suites and interconnecting options for families. Those differences are useful background when deciding what matters most for a future stay: space, outlook, accessibility or keeping the family together.

The photos, floor plans, room sizes, occupancy limits and amenities below describe the resort before the October 2026 renovation closure. They are a historical reference, not specifications or availability promises for the reopened resort. The expected dates and future room categories remain subject to confirmation; check the final room layout, occupancy and included services for your actual booking. Club Med’s current renovation notice confirms the closure and a planned reopening during 2027.

Club Med Cherating Room Locations — pre-renovation

Superior Room (Garden)

Simple, neat, and easy to feel at home in. The pre-renovation Superior Room was a comfortable, well-designed spot to rest after a full day of doing stuff. Or doing nothing.

The garden outlook was part of the appeal. The layout had two twin beds that could be combined into a double, a shower room and a separate toilet. The historical capacity and location details are listed below.

Pre-renovation details:

  • Maximum occupancy: 2 adults + 1 child under 12 (sofa bed)
  • Size: 21 sqm
  • Floor: First, second, or third
  • Location: Blocks A, B, C, D, E, F, J, K, M, N & O

Nothing over-the-top, but it did the job. And that garden backdrop? Kinda lovely.

Superior Seaside Room

For guests drawn to the coast, the pre-renovation Superior Seaside Room had the same basic setup as the regular Superior, with a location closer to the water. That setting gave it a different feel.

Pre-renovation details:

  • Maximum occupancy:
    • 55 units: 2 adults
    • 14 units: 2 adults + 1 child under 12 (sofa bed)
  • Size: 21 sqm
  • Floor: First, second, or third
  • Location: Blocks A, G, H, I, J, L, M & N

Suite Seaside Terrace

This was the splurge: the treat-yourself room, with a king-sized bed and a terrace looking towards the sea. It was the roomier option for a special occasion or a more leisurely stay.

The pre-renovation suite had a separate living space, a bathtub and a large private terrace with loungers. Those features made it a room worth spending time in, rather than just somewhere to sleep.

Pre-renovation details:

  • Maximum occupancy: 2 adults + 1 child under 12 (sofa bed)
  • Size: 75 sqm (55 sqm indoor)
  • Floor: First floor only
  • Location: Blocks H & J

Morning coffee on that terrace was part of its appeal.

Cherating Room FAQs: Before and After the Renovation

Will an accessible room be available when Cherating reopens?
Before the renovation, the resort listed one Superior Mobility Accessible Room in Block H. That historical listing does not confirm the reopened resort’s accessible-room layout or location. Confirm step-free access, bathroom features, routes to shared facilities and availability for your needs before booking.
Did the pre-renovation Cherating rooms have hand bidets?
Yes. The rooms and suites described in this pre-renovation guide had hand bidets. Bathroom fittings for the new and renovated room categories should be confirmed from the final room specifications before booking.
Were the Cherating rooms and suites air-conditioned?
Yes. All the pre-renovation rooms and suites covered here were air-conditioned. The resort is currently closed, so use the final specifications for your chosen renovated room when planning a future stay.
What was the Wi-Fi like in the Cherating rooms?
Wi-Fi was available before the closure, with signal strength varying by room location. The old service was better suited to basic browsing than a guaranteed streaming or video-call connection. This is not a forecast of the renovated resort’s network; confirm any work or connectivity needs for a future stay.
Which pre-renovation Cherating rooms had bathtubs?
The old Superior Rooms had showers rather than bathtubs; the Suite Seaside Terrace had a bathtub. Those historical layouts may not describe the new room categories. Check the bathroom specification of the room you book after the renovation.
Was room service included at Club Med Cherating?
Before the closure, general room service was not offered. The exception recorded for Suite Seaside Terrace guests was included in-room continental breakfast. Do not assume that this old suite benefit will carry over: confirm the services included in your future booking.
Will the renovated Cherating room buildings have lifts or step-free access?
Before the renovation, the traditional multi-storey room buildings had stairs rather than lifts. Post-renovation access arrangements are not confirmed in this historical guide. If stairs are difficult or you use a wheelchair or stroller, confirm the exact room level and step-free route rather than relying on the old floor labels or a room request alone.

Final Thoughts about Club Med Cherating Rooms

The old Cherating rooms had a clear appeal: simple accommodation close to the jungle and coast, with extra space and a terrace in the suites. These photos and layouts preserve that part of the resort’s story.

For a future trip, the most useful choice will depend on the final renovated room plans—not simply the old category name. Families should check connecting arrangements and occupancy; guests with mobility needs should confirm a suitable room and step-free routes before committing.

The setting remains a reason to look forward to Cherating, whether your interests include nature, local turtle conservation or time by the coast. Resort activities, room services and availability will depend on the reopened operation.

Until the new room details are confirmed, use this guide as a look back at the accommodation—not a promise that an old room layout or amenity will return.
