Just a few km away from Kuantan town/city (last I heard, Kuantan is in progress of getting their City status), you will find the Teluk Chempedak beach. Hyatt Hotel Kuantan is located here, fairly nice Hotel with an "OK" beach. Not bad for a quiet weekend off, spent at the beach.
The hotel rent is on the higher side but its worth it, with acceptable service, cleanliness and ambience. Nearby along the beach you can find arts and crafts shops, local restaurants, McD and KFC too. You can also go for the local massages and foot reflexology.
At the beach, you can get seasports such as water scooters, canoeing, windsufing, beach volleyball etc (but i think it is only on certain season of the year). There are swimming pools located along the beach at the hotel. Well, its not a real good place for seasports activities but hey theres a pub/disco at the Hotel. Another attraction is just outside the Hotel at the forest/jungle opposite the hotel where you will see lotsa monkeys at certain hours of the day. If you are thinking of feeding them food, my advice is don't, as they would rush at you and even possibly attack.
Another popular attraction is the Curry Laksa served at a shop near the Hotel. I think the shop is called "Hoi Yin". It is packed during the weekends, so be there early or be prepared to line up while you wait for seats.
Have fun there... nice place to just sit back, relax and enjoy a laid back lifestyle. Enjoy a book at the beach, or take a nice nap at the beach, you won't regret it. Or even get a broadband there and start blogging there! its cool.
