Nice hotel, good swimming pools right next to beach. ATV on beach was fun. Breakfast was satisfying. Rabbit feeding was a hit with my 2 nieces. Overall we had a very nice holiday at a nice hotel at an affordable price. I would happily return here for another holiday.

Defects but still enjoyed. Beautiful resort
A beautiful place.. cleanliness is well maintained, friendly staffs, and overall is good.. I would definitely recommend this hotel. And definitely would be my choice talking about cherating. Sadly the room I stayed, the shower did not function, fan had a loud noise and the water got stuck caused the toilet to be wet. Besides that, the gym is badly maintained with rusty dumbbells. The food in the hotel was really good and quality.

A long beach and with beautiful sunset too. Swimming pool is great experience too. The hotel have 2 pools: for swimming and for playing pool activities. Greatest disappointment: room air conditioner is not functioning well at all, toilets amenities, toilet need to be upgraded, the room need to be upgraded too.

Resort does not live up to expectations
The resort did not live up to the overall expectation. Firstly, the website gives a false impression of the way the resort looks like when you actually arrive there. The resort looks very old and run down and needs major refurbishment. The service was unsatisfactory throughout the stay. Understand that it is peak season, but the level of service should not be compromised. The housekeeping service was very poor, as bathroom amenities were not changed on a daily basis and cleaning was not done until a few phone calls later to the housekeeping department. There were unsightly stains on the bed comforter as well. The website has stated that the particular grand deluxe sea view room has been "recently refurbished" but it did not look like it was. It was a disappointment and a "rip off" for the price paid for that particular room type. Overall, I would not recommend anyone to stay in this resort.

Overall an enjoyable trip to Cherating. Able to explore Kemaman and Kuantan. Also had a good adventure at Monica Bay looking out for the turtles. We also spent lots of our time enjoying the hotel swimming pool and the beach. In spite of the run-down condition of the hotel, Legend does have a very nice pool.

Nice beach hotel
The hotel is great as it is beside the beautiful beach. Suitable for family with kids or couple. Kids can enjoy lot of fun activities such as batik DIY, rabbit feeding, swimming in the pools, building sand castle, ride ATV etc. However, the room a bit run down and staff performance can further improve especially the foreign worker. Will consider to come back again.

Changed room after the first room provided was dirty. Toilet was foul smelling even after cleaning.

Dirty room, not enough staff,
Stayed here for 2 days over the bank holiday weekend, queue to check in took 45 minutes, was put in a smoking room even though requested a none smoking room. Requested an extra bed and it wasn't provided. Electrics in the room fused and was left in darkness for half an hour. It was very dirty under the beds, and old packets of chips found in the room. The pool was quite nice, but not enough chairs and sun loungers.

Nice beach, but the hotel is overpriced in Expedia
The beach is very nice. Warm water and soft sand. The Expedia price was too high for the comfort we received. The hotel used to be good, but now it is on its down side. The room was spacious and the bedding comfortable. The food choices were very limited. The bar by the beach is a must for the evenings, to watch the moon rise over a bucket of beer. The waiter will make his best to give you the best service. The breakfast is below average, mostly malay food with some western options. The coffee was good and the fresh roti (flat bread) was also ok. No fresh juices offered. The swimming pool was overcrowded almost all the time. Passenger used the balcony to hang their clothes to dry.

We booked the Grand Deluxe Room with King sized bed but when we checked in, they only provide us with two single beds. When called to ask, they asked us to combine the beds together. I mean.. Cool? Totally NOT! But since I am on a holiday, so we decided to chill. Rooms were filled with sands, I mean I understand that its by the beach but that doesnt mean that the room had to be sandy when we checked-in in the first place. Overall its quite a nice place to stay if everything is kept alright.

1970 Facilities at 2017 Prices
Overpriced for what it offers. This hotel is a tired old girl that still pretends to command top prices but offers on the whole mediocrity. I don't blame the staff, they are doing their best under difficult circumstances. I entirely blame the Hotel owners who think its right to demand top prices & deliver the minimum the have to. Annoyingly even though prices are high for the state of the facilities, they still charge extra for cafe latte & even squash racquets- irritations but a sign of the intent from Management & Owners alike. Would we ever stay at this hotel again? Nope. Hotel needs a total refurbishment.

Fantastic Resort
I had a fantastic time at this resort. I'd say the best experience would be 4 or 5 days long, any longer and you start to stagnate as there is not much to do in the area other than the tourist activities posted at the resort (I highly recommend the firefly river cruise). Resort staff are excellent, Terry was VERY helpful and pleasant and fun to talk to. Wish it was all-inclusive, or that all-inclusive was an option, that would have been top-notch. The bedroom was very spacious and had a balcony and an incredible view. The food at the dining hall was truly excellent, offering a mix of North American, European and Asian dishes. The pool is wonderful and looked clean. There are a lot of shops just outside the resort offering various goods, but not much in terms of going out to eat, it's all pretty typical Malaysian food stalls offering the same things, and dozens of "Keropok Lemak" stalls (they make them on the spot with freshly caught fish). The ocean is right there too, though I didn't go for a swim because, usually, when you don't see anyone else swimming, they might know something you don't, and so I didn't risk it (I didn't see anyone swimming in the ocean during my 9 days there). All things considered, I had a wonderful time, the resort did everything right and allowed me to relax for a week. But if you want to have 2 weeks of activities, this isn't the best location for that, this is a place you come to relax, or to stop a few days while touring the country.

Very old hotel, but next to the beach
This hotel is way overdue for an upgrade. Everything about the room is old and run down. The boiler in our room is broken and we do not get hot water. The engineer promised to change our room but it never happen over 3 nights. As we do have a connecting room, we just made do with one shower. However, the pool area is very well maintained, and the pool staff is very courteous and helpful. If you are particular about room conditions, this hotel will not be a good choice. The breakfast provided is good, but refill speed is very slow, and when there is a crowd, you might have to wait. The check in time is 4pm, but when we arrived at 4.30pm, our rooms are still not ready. I am quite shocked as the check out time is 11am.

I know our front office team will do everything in their power to check our guests in as soon as possible however, on the occasion our guests arrive earlier than 3PM, it may require a few phone calls to our housekeeping team to clean the room.
