Me and my friends decided last minute to go somewhere for Chinese New Year. Well it's long weekend and most of the shops were closed in Singapore, so we checked which places were nearby but outside SG. Also it shouldn't be too costly to go (all flights are expensive in this season) so we opt for land travel. Most of hotels in Bintan and Batam were fully booked or ridiculously overpriced.
So we ended up deciding to go to Lexis Hibiscus at Port Dickson,Malaysia -- known to have the most swimming pools in a resort. One of my friends went there and said it's a good one. So we hurriedly book and good thing they still have available Sea View Villa which is not exposed to any walkways or neighbouring units. I recommend to book this kind of villa for better privacy.
There are direct buses that can drop you off to the hotel but in our case we missed all seats, so we took the bus routed to Seremban instead (travel time est 5hrs) then took a cab from the terminal we were drop off which took almost an hour to reach the hotel. Though, returning to SG was way easier because we were able to secure seats for the direct bus to pick us up from the hotel. We were lucky not to line up in queue in the immigration and everything went smoothly.
We didn't expect much on the hotel even though the pictures in their website seems really nice and inviting. The beds were quite big and comfy plus we just chill at our own pool, ordered food, had some drinks and slept well. They gave complimentary 50 MYR discount that we were able to use on buying food at hibiscus walk. It was spent well by eating Chendol and Ice kacang.
