A night at Avillion Port Dickson














It was a memorable trip to Port Dickson although we spent extra for a Beach Room in Avillion. For RM252++, I got 2 single beds, a long couch(you can sleep on it) and a good service. Since I'm traveling with my wife and 2 kids, you would need someone to carry the luggage to the room.(with the stroller, VCD player, periuk nasi, food for kids, etc) And to my surprise, the guy who welcomed us at the lobby moved our things once I told them I've got my key. Sure they are fast, but maybe because, it's Sunday and less people check-in :)
The water chalet looks nice but a bit too expensive. I might give it a try on my next trip to PD.
Previous trip to PD, I stayed in Bayu Beach Resort. The service and breakfast are average, and the rooms are below average. I've stayed in their service apartment and the hotel room.
Back to Avillon..the nice things about this resort is they maintained the landscape and employ lots of staff(including foreign labor-a lot too) to make sure things went well.











You can take your kids to visit the pet farm on spend time at the swimming pool.(there's one for kids)
Every day at 10am, there's the 'feed the pet' time at the pet farm. If you are lucky, you can even see squirrels running on the atap roof and monkeys jumping from branches.

If it's raining, hey, they actually place an umbrella in the room so you would still be able to go out.
On Monday morning, I spent time at the kids area(a big size room with few toys to play with) At first, I was planning to make it to the pool with my kid, hesshh..have to cancel it last minute.
If you are bored enough, just pay rm10 and you can play playstation for 1 hour.(not sure what games they have for you)


To summarize the trip, it was a wonderful one and I plan to stay in the water chalet on next trip but.... I must be willing to fork out around rm500 for a stay there during the weekdays. Weekends are expensive and may be too crowded.
