book the water chalet for a night on the christmas weekend holiday...once we arrived, the lobby were quite crowded but smooth check-in process...the room were quite good but not so well maintained especially the cleanliness in the balcony area...unclean bird and lizard droppings not cleaned in these area...we also had the time to bring our children to the swimming pool...unfortunately there's an insufficient towel & we also saw one of the lodger(adults) in the kids pool with jeans...it is not desirable and management should be aware of these things even if it just the kids pool...the staff also not so friendly...there's no greetings, smilings...but on the positive side i really like the surroundings & also the idea of the pet farm...overall it's such a wonderful retreats & experienced...recommended...

This is our second time at Avillion Port Dickson, the first was in 2009, and despite some wear and tear, as one might expect, we found it as we remembered it. We arrived late after a long flight and chose it for its closeness to KL international airport. We booked a taxi transfer and in busy traffic it took us around 75 minutes. At check in, which was quick and efficient, they knew we had stayed previously and we were given a free upgrade to a one-bedroom water chalet. on our way we became a little lost, but a staff member, Prakash, kindly showed us the way. The chalet was lovely and spacious. The one-bedroom option gave us (mum, dad, and daughter) the space and privacy to really relax. Our daughter slept on the day bed and was quite comfortable. The buffet breakfast featured a mix of Asian and western choices and was good. At peak times the terrace fills up, but we were accommodated upstairs in the Crow's Nest restaurant. We also lunched and had one evening meal there and the food was solid if unspectacular. There is a choice of Asian or western cuisine and the prices are what you'd expect at similar hotels, however, if you walk or drive five minutes from the hotel there are plenty of other choices on the main road that runs past the hotel. We enjoyed relaxing in the adult-only lap pool (our daughter is 12) where the peace and quiet allowed us to rest, recover and relax before our onward journey. It's accessible 24 hours, so an evening swim after a long flight was ideal. We also enjoyed a long walk on the adjacent beach. There are water sports and beach football and volleyball available on the resort's part of the beach. There are also children's activities and a petting zoo available for younger children. We found the staff very courteous and helpful during our stay. I'd recommend it for families, especially with younger children as a good weekend getaway from KL or particularly as a good long layover/stopover option from KLIA.

This hotel has been around for a long time, despite the high volume of guests the staff were exceptional! They really do go out of their way to help you with something and make sure the place was running smoothly.

Keep in mind the hotel grounds are widespread, you can ask them for a map and ask for recommendations they are more than willing to help. And if you're travelling with kids don't worry they will have full days ahead of them (kid friendly hotel).

If you're interested in seafood there is a fisherman village in Lumut with the best seafood and amazing lady boss that knows her fish!
