Bringing a baby for a short trip is like packing the entire house |
Overview of the resort: My first impression on Avillion Port Dickson was so-so. First of all, we arrived at 3.30pm and the chalet was not ready! We waited until 4:30pm (after numerous calls to the lobby) then only it was ready. The chalet in itself is very impressive. Spacious rooms and even bigger bathroom. I love the room! Service is generally ok but could be better as it is a five-star resort. The staff does not voluntarily smile or greet us. So in general, for the price we paid, it wasn't worth it.

The newly renovated Avi Spa is breathtakingly beautiful. Somewhat reminded me of the resorts in Maldives. I like the service as the staff there are courteous. The problem is because the premise is small, the rooms are always fully booked, so I recommend to call in advance to make prior booking before heading down to Port Dickson.
The lounge area is exclusively for priority customers - i.e. those who stay in premium water chalet. They serve finger food there. The staff was gracious enough to allow us to quickly snap a picture before we went off.
Both me and hubs selected the normal body massage as the spa package was expensive! We reckon that it was not worth splashing our money like that. The entire session took us 90 minutes.
Treatment Room:
- Beautifully decorated. I love the interior. Very exclusive Tiffany-color theme.
- Overlooks the ocean so it is real good ambiance with the sound of crashing waves.
- Couple room is big and airy.
Massage:
- Started off with the foot soak and was gently scrubbed using sea salt.
- Frankly, I didn't enjoy the massage that much. Too strong pressure.
Beautiful isn't it? |
After the session, we were usher out to the open-space balcony where we sip on their ginger tea while overlooking the sea. I love this concept. Extremely relaxing :)
All in, I would recommend just for the experience. I really didn't enjoy much the massage. And it is quite pricey as well.
