He Says/She Says on Gastronomy, Travel & More

Came here with some ex-colleagues for a quick catch-up..damage for the night was RM56 per person
Appetiser 1 - Saute mushrooms @ RM16. Packed with creamy sauce and served with toasted baguette..yummy....

Appetisers 2 & 3 - Fried calamari @ RM17 and Fried wantan @ RM15. Very small portion for their prices and the taste is mediocre...I'd give these dishes a pass the next time I'm here...

Linguine vongole @ RM32. Star of the meal. With a slight hint of chardonnay and black pepper, this pasta dish is definitely worth a try...

Pollo (Chicken) pizza @ RM32. Can give this a miss...the chicken strips are a bit dry and the pizza base is not flavourful enough..might be due to lack of tomato sauce and mozarella cheese

Sweet ending - Tiramisu @ RM15. Slight disappointment...doesn't taste the same as the first time I had it at the Alexis outlet in Bangsar Shopping Centre

For the WIFI services, you will get a better signal at the lower floor (2nd floor). If you are staying at level 4 room, you might not be able to access internet due to poor & unstable signal. As a result, it is advice to get a room at level 2.

I will fully recommend this hotel to anyone. It can totally fulfill everyone's expectation & needs (Business Trip, Couple or Family). This is the best resort around Cherating & Balok Beach.

P/S: Get Deluxe Seaview Room rather than Deluxe Garden View Room. The design of these 2 rooms are totally 100% different.

The hotel is based on kampung style. Impiana Resort had refurbish some of the area recently. The lobby area look nice and i really enjoy sitting there while surfing Internet. The design of resort room is simple and 95% of it is made of wood.
Overall the room is considered clean.

Limited range of foods available at the breakfast buffet. Beside that, the foods
doesn't taste good. There are some shops just outside the Impiana Cherating
Resort. You can choose to have your lunch or dinner there (Malay foods).

Swimming pool, Tennis court, Table Tennis, Bicycles Ridding,
Beach Volleyball, Beach Soccer, Free WIFI at lobby area & etc.

The room look new, modern style and most important clean. The bed is so soft and i really enjoy my sleep very much.

Standard range of foods available for the breakfast buffet (3 star hotel). No surprise.
There is no worry about lunch or dinner as you can settle them nearby the hotel.

Facilities

Swimming Pool, Free WIFI (Rooms). These are the only two facilities in this hotel.
Fortunately, there is a wide range of TV channels available (around 30 channels).
There are 2 shopping complex (Megamall & East Coast Mall) within 10 minutes
driving distance. The famous Teluk Cempedak Beach is also around the corner (Within 20 minutes driving distance).
P/S: Need to request WIFI username & password from the check in counter.

Overall

Vistana Hotel can be considered as the second best hotel in Kuantan area. The best hotel in Kuantan is Hyatt Regency Kuantan Resort.
