Recently Daddy had an unexpecting 3-days off, so we decided to have a family get-away. Initially we thought of going to Resort World Sentosa, Singapore. Er Yi (Mummy's sister) has a voucher to stay in the hotel for a night FOC. But upon checking Daddy's passport, apparently it has expired since Feb 2011! Aiyoyo... Finally, Mummy decided to go to Port Dickson. Daddy browsed through the web and found this resort - Residence Desa Lagoon Resort. So he made the booking by phone and Mummy started to pack all our clothes, swimming gears and food and we were set to go!
Since it was a schooling day for me (oh, poor me!) Daddy & Mummy waited for me to finish my class, had lunch, then we began our holiday! I was told to take a short nap in the car so that I can play and play and play when we reach PD. It was only a 90-minutes drive from KL to PD.
The resort was quite easy to locate, but since Mummy has read many reviews (both good and bad) in the tripadvisor.com, she requested to view the villa before we check-in. Well, reading the reviews helped to lower our expectation although the pictures in the website are fantastic. We checked in anyway after viewing, Mummy found the villa satisfactory although there are rooms for improvement. Be contented, after all, we only paid for RM200 for a 3-bedroom suite. Normal price is RM380!
Our villa number is 100. It is a double-storey villa - downstair with a living hall, a kitchen, a toilet, a balcony and 2 bedrooms, upstairs with a balcony, a master-bedroom and an attached toilet. Every villa has their designated parking lot. Ours is just right next to our villa, very convenient! And the swimming pool is also close-by. You may jump in anytime!
The resort has a unique concept - it resembles colonial British style or more like those Mediterranean village style. There are 2 swimming pools with only 40 units of villas. Since it was a public holiday, the resort was rather quiet and peaceful. We certainly enjoyed the privacy. The resort also has its own private beach. Only 5-minutes walking distance.
The room service was great! We asked for a baby cot and they delivered it instantly. However, the fridge was a bit rusty on the outside, the TV channels were blur, there is no shower curtains and the bathroom was wet after used, the restaurant was very small and served with overpriced menu. We were given RM35 breakfast voucher but we still needed to top up RM11.90 for the food that we ordered: 2 nasi lemak and 1 mee goreng, with 1 coffee and 1 tea.
Nevertheless, we had a great time chilling ourselves in the swimming pool and building sand castle on the beach. Mummy realised that she is better in kite flying than Daddy! Sadly, there's no photo taken as a proof. Erwyn loves to swim. He is just like me - a water baby. This was his 3rd time in the swimming pool. The 1st time he actually cried and refused to sit in the float. Mummy suspected the water was too cold for him. The 2nd time he was a bit reluctant at first, but soon found himself splashing water while sitting in the float. This 3rd round was the best! Smilling and laughing non-stop. He didn't mind to have water all over his face, too.
It was a short but tiring trip. However, it was an awesome holiday! I hope to come back again soon! Pleasssseee..... Daddy?
