We put up at Impiana Resort Cherating, which is about 5 minutes from Club Med. We heard about Impiana from our visit to Matta Fair, and also recommended by Punita.<\/p>\n<p>Impiana has a traditional wooden setting. Quite a nice and quaint place. However, I felt that the maintenance is not up to standard. The place has lots of potential. A clean-up, fresh paint, and friendlier-looking staff would improve the image a lot. The hot water also stalls at times.<\/p>\n<p>However, this resort had Astro unlike <a href=\"http:\/\/poobalan.com\/blog\/personal\/2007\/10\/07\/swiss-garden-resort-and-spa-kuantan\/\">Swiss Garden<\/a>, so I didn&#8217;t mind the minor details. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>We met two hornbills as we made our way to the room. I guess the birds are residents here since I saw them a few times after that. They seem quite used to human presence.<\/p>\n<p>While at Cherating, we had problem getting food. Since it was fasting month, we found that many shops were closed during the day. We had to go to <a href=\"http:\/\/poobalan.com\/blog\/i-was-here\/2007\/10\/10\/chukai-kemaman\/\">Kemaman<\/a> which is a 10 minutes drive for food.<\/p>\n<p>I liked the way they delivered the newspaper in the morning.
