Family Getaway

Wonderful. Back to nature but more expensive than some other available accommodation. I paid RM 414 for the garden chalet facing the children's pool. Breakfast for 2 adults. Generally staff were friendly.

Unique Quality: When I was there, the water level was low in the afternoon but the next morning the water level was high and the water chalets sit nicely in the water. My son managed to kayak and I tried the water bee... Fun.
About 45min to 1 hr drive from there, Xtreme Park , another attraction , go -kart 8 laps - RM25 and ATV riding RM 50- jungle terrain.

Avillion

Unique Quality: I stayed at one of the water chalets in (#812) July 2008. I paid the extra cost to get one of the chalets that faced the bay. The chalets are usually surrounded by water except during low tide. At high tide the rooms are standing in approximately 1 meter of water.

The room with the queen-size bed was nice and the bathroom with the outdoor shower was interesting. The only complaint I had was about the air conditioner that is located in the outdoor bathroom facility. It was quite loud and eliminates any possibility of listening to the ocean at night. I ended up shutting it off, using only the ceiling fan and opening the balcony doors at night. Fortunately the queen bed had mosquito netting.

I had two meals at the ground floor restaurant - dinner when I arrived and breakfast the next morning. Both meals were fine and the buffet at breakfast was decent (the hotel has two restaurants).

I also enjoyed using the adults-only swimming pool for swimming some laps. The stay was enjoyable enough that I would return again.

1 star service

Attended a 2 nights 3 days conference at Avillion on the 7th, 8th May 2008.
I am appalled and shocked by the " couldn't careless" attitude of the manager on duty and staff as well as the poor maintenance of their chalet.
Our first room , a water chalet room 800 , sprang a leak from the roof directly over the master bed in the middle of the night during a rain storm . I had never encounter
such an event in any of the hotels that I had stayed in , not even in a 3 star hotel. The water drip directly onto the bed making sleep impossible.
The alternate room 912 ,they gave us suffered air-condition failure during the middle of the day when it is hottest again making sleep impossible. My kids and wife
were sweating away while they try to fixed up the air-conditioner . The attitude of the manager and staff were " I am just doing my job , it's your bad luck to get rooms that are faulty . Half hearted insincere apologies with no attempt to make any remedy is shocking as Avillion aspire to be a premier hotel . Their attitude is definitely a 1 star rating . Needless to say I will never come back again . The organizer of this conference agrees with me . Request for water and other things were met with very slow response ( in the end the organizer had to buy the water themselves from outside !) Shame on you Avillion ! I checked out on the 2nd day of a 3 day stay and no doubt will not come again .

Unique Quality: Good begining spoil by poor maintenance and management.

My laze....

Well, i actually went on the wrong days...hahaha...because it was very busy when i reached the lobby or should i said wrong timing too as it was the checking out time =P Anyhow, if you are looking for a quiet getaway, this place is great. Resort tends to get very busy during school and public holidays. So if you intend to go on these days...you better get up early for breakfast or you can expect to queue as i personally feel that the restaurant is a bit too small.

I've been to other nice resorts too and i'm actually quiet spoilt by the resort's personal touches but avillion is among many commercialised resort so they ain't much of the personal touches. On the whole, the place is sweet.

For those who took up premium water chalet, do request for the Tumasek Village as the views are not obstructed by any other neighbouring village and you are just next to the beach. If the sky is clear, i bet you can expect a gorgeous sunset too!

Facilities...hmmm...lemme see...

If you bring your kids for a holiday, they do have some perks for kids like the petting farm and spacious kids corner with activities. I'm sure your kids will enjoy themselves.

The village pool was packed with kids then but they have another pool, the cochin which are meant for adults only, so you can enjoy that quiet swim minus the kids screaming and yelling...hahahaha

Unique Quality: The medium end...Built on stilts...

PD's 5 Star

This is the best in Port Dickson. I put it way above the rest but not in price.
Price-wise, it's very comparable; decor, food, service, ambience, position etc, it's above the rest.

Access to clean, wide private beach. All the facilities you would expect in a top class hotel/resort.

Others have said more. Enough said.

Unique Quality: Number 1 in PD

PD's romantic getaway

Romance is about four poster beds, open-air showers that looks out to the sun and stars, sun deck and day beds to dream on.

This is where Avillion water chalet comes in. It may costs more but well worth the money compared to their garden chalets which are ordinary.

Vacation house on sea

5 stars. The vacation houses made of natural materials are located on sea. Each room has open air bathroom and romantic beds.

Besides it, the hotel offers various facilities such as swimming pools, sauna & steam rooms, karaoke room and beautiful gardens. At night one hears wave dancing and yellow lights are full of the breath...It's romantic hotel for lovers.

Unfortunately, because of sound from waves I didn't sleep well that night.....
