Lexis Port Dickson 5 – 6 February 2012

IMG_5060Even though the first half of the morning was not a present one, Daddy and Mummy had a small argument on some issues.

Daddy and Mummy actually planed this trip just less than a week before. Our budget initially is around less than RM200, but due to is only we stay for one night, then Daddy said if more than RM200 would be alright too.

By the time Mummy checked all the available hotels, most of the economical hotels had fully booked. After Mummy booked Lexis Port Dickson, Daddy not really like it as the hotel itself do not have their own beach.

We reached early around 1.00pm at Port Dickson, since it is still early to check in, we just drop by at one of the beach area to enjoy the sea breeze.

IMG_5063Due to it is a public holiday, thus a lot people came and even had their ‘camping’ at the beach or picnic here.

Issac and Annabelle were so happy when seeing the sea view in front of their eyes. The wind was so strong. We were watching people swimming, having fun on the banana boat and flying the kites too, and it ‘had inspired’ Daddy to buy 2 kites to play.

“It had been long time that I never fly a kite already…ever since my secondary school days,” Daddy said. He bought an eagle shape and another bigger typical kite. Belle and Issac were enjoying very much.

We played until nearly 2.45pm, then we headed to our hotel. 

P2050214Upon our arrival at the Lexis, Mummy’s booking on the Premium Tower Seaview suite was not ready yet, the Front Desk Receptionist had upgraded our suite to Premium Water Chalet after Daddy shown his unpleasant moody face.

Mummy did not expect we will immediately upgraded to the most expensive suite in the hotel.

The best rates for Premium Water Chalet will be at least RM450, but now with only with RM264, with complimentary breakfast for 2 included.

What a surprise to me, as finally this surprise come along and eased the morning situation.

We all sat in a buggy to our designated chalet. It was really a pleasant and happy when seeing both children face so excited once entered the chalet.

P2050201The Water Chalet is elegantly furnished with granite, Bali's tumble stone flooring, parliament stone, tropical hardwood timber strip flooring and teakwood furniture coupled with Balinese stone carvings and pottery.

The elevated bedroom come with a king and a queen beds. It just nice to fit us 2 adults and 2 children.

It is a cozy environment with concealed lightings. And, the separate standing open concept bathroom and bathtub too. It comes together with a private balcony.

Especially the uniquely designed with solid transparent glasses for underneath sea water viewing.

Issac loves it very much. He was so sad when he saw the sea subside time, there is less sea underneath the chalet ^^ ha-ha…It was really true unique experience.

Apart from the beautiful landscaped swimming pool, there is also a dedicated children’s pool and a gazebo.

P2050168Both children love the swimming pool very much, they love water play. Outdoor games, bicycle rental, fishing and crabbing activities may also be arranged. Guests who prefer the indoors will enjoy the games room.

During the evening time, Daddy went out and take some photos while the children enjoying the bathtub swim.

“ Brother Issac, what do you think, this hotel is nicer or our house is nicer leh?”

“Emm, of course our house is nicer, but hotel here is nice too.”

“ Hotel here very nice hor? I like this hotel. How about you?”

“Me too.”

What a conversation between both brother and sister….

IMG_5103The evening walk in the sunset time was a memorable one too. Seeing the sky changing from the light blue, to golden colour and change to dark blue and the night came.

We can see some of the people were fishing along the boardwalks area during the evening time too.

The kids going for a swim before we checked out the hotel around 12 noon. We shall come again someday. Thinking of probably will stay either Grand Lexis Port Dickson or Avillion. Both too, have the water chalet. Just the Avillion have its own private beach whereby can just let the children playing water on the beach area, instead of just the swimming pool only.

This round of trip really pampered both kids as this is one of their unique experience of staying in a water chalet, whereby they can see the sea underneath through the viewing glass panels…^^
