Its the school holidays again, and time to de-stress again, or rather, a good excuse to go for a short trip. This time round, we decided we will take a road trip up to Port Dickson, having heard so much rave reviews about the Avillion Port Dickson. The website sure is impressive, go check it out.
Our entourage consist of our family, my parents, and Tien's family. We started the journey in the afternoon, right after Papa completed his dialysis session. Traffic at the 2nd Link Causeway was reasonably good, with not much of a jam. The drive to Port Dickson was uneventful, and we reach the resort safely within 3.5 hours.
We overlooked the fact that we were going during the peak season as our trip falls on Malaysia's National Day. While we didn't need to go around waving the national flag, we had to bear with the overcrowed situation at the resort. For a resort so large, there was 2 restaurants handling the guests dining needs. And I think they probably need to relook at the process flow at the restaurant, as the managed to overlook our orders, twice within two days.
Anyway, will stop my whining now...the place is really quite nice. I have no issues other than the restaurant and also the carpark. It is not within the resort's premises, but located across the road. Though there is a gate, Mike, being his paranoid self is uneasy leaving his car there.
Anyway, Avillion is the sort of resort place that is suitable for families, and people who just want to go there and nuah
Here's the water chalet we stayed in.
The rooms are roomy. We had the Twin There's even a day bed, which could sleep another 2
pax!
The Spa. We loved the decor! The massage was so-so
The wall decor inside the Couple Room. I like the colour combination, and the pic. i would love to have this in my room.
Check out the class door. I want this in my room too!
The trip however, didn't end on good note for my friend Tien. On reaching the Causeway, she realised that she had misplaced her Indonesian maid's passport. Despite her frantic search, she simply couldn't find the missing passport. She wasn't even sure whether the passport was handed back to her, when they first entered Malaysia.
The maid had to remain in Malaysia, while Tien's hubby had to do all the legwork to get a new passport for the maid. Not an easy task when you are dealing with Malaysian and Indonesian Authorities. Its been more than 24 hours, and nothing much has been done. The maid continues with her extended stay in Malaysia...
