Weekend Getaway: Avilion Admiral Cove, Port Dickson

Sabtu lepas ada kenduri sepupu Mak kat PD, whom supposedly is my uncle yet he's only 23. Kitorang bertolak Jumaat malam sabtu. Singgah makan Wadihana kat Bangi Gateway dulu, then bertolak dari Bangi 10pm and arrived PD at 11pm. We stayed at Avilion Admiral Cove. Check in took a while sebab booking last minit so they still haven't received the confirmation from Agoda. With all the confusion, menunggu la for about 15 minutes kat lobby.


View from our room
Dapat bilik kat level 1. Mak, Zara and I stayed in one room (Straits Studio) while Abah, Imran and HB stayed in another (Superior). The difference between those two rooms was only the view, and the size of the room. Straits Studio view menghadap laut, but laut yang takde pantai la sebab kat luar tu marina. Superior pulak menghadap bangunan lain tapi boleh la nampak a glimpse of the swimming pool. But that would also depend on which room you are staying. Straits Studio was spacious jadi seronok la Zara lari sana sini. Superior is smaller but comfortable enough for 3. Both room ada daybed tapi dalam Superior takde cadar while Straits Studio ada cadar. Sarung daybed and cushion tu nampak macam kotor sikit sebab macam lama and banyak stain. Nasib baik Abah bawak sleeping bag so boleh la buat alas. They also provide iron and iron board in both rooms.

Breakfast was ok. Takde la banyak sangat choice tapi ok la. What I liked was the salad bar with 3 different types of dressing, cheddar cheese and beef pepperoni  (which were sliced a tad too thick). The fresh milk was nice, masa pekerja tu refill I notice they use Goodday milk. Kadang-kadang ada hotel yang guna fresh milk yang rasa macam pelik. Sort of susu murah ke apa I don't know. But taste different la if you know what I mean. Juice pulak on the first day ada pineapple and guava, the second day manggo and guava. Juice rasa pelik so I didn't have any. Thank goodness for the fresh milk. The breads were ok, they serve croissants with a couple of pastries each day. Ruang makan tu was rather small comparative to the hotel and obviously it would be full. The good thing was they kept on refilling the foods and I can see the chefs coming out to check on the foods, the manager was also there monitoring the staffs the whole time.


Hari first turun breakfast kitorang macam tercari-cari mana dining area. Sebab susunan hotel ni macam pelik sikit, kena pusing sana sini. Dari segi service for me semua ok, the staffs were ok. Hari nak checkout, Mak mintak extend our checkout time and dia bagi latest at 1pm. Lebih dari 1pm dia akan automatically charge RM100/hour. Hotel ni pun dekat je dari tol PD. I think dalam 10 minits macam tu la lebih kurang. In a nutshell, the hotel is clean and comfortable with spacious room so I would recommend it if you are looking for a hotel in PD.
