My parents brought us to Lexis Hibiscus in Port Dickson for the weekends cause I won't be getting to go anywhere this year (due to exams..) and I needed to relax cause I'm stressed af. I suggested to go there cause I heard it was new and I saw photos of it on instagram. I think it was a great stress escape! The place was really relaxing and comfy. There were a lot of guests during the weekends! The receptionists were efficient with the checking in and out so all that were settled really quick, plus they serve drinks at the lobby! However, the buggy services weren't that great which caused a long line :/ BUT BUT the buggy drivers were really friendly! We got a chalet facing the sea and not the other rooms (lucky us if not it'd be a little awkward). It would have been awkward cause there was a private pool in each chalet and it's like outwards, so our unit was facing the sea which was AMAZING cause the view was gorgeous . There was also a sauna room next to the pool which was pretty nice cause it was relaxing. The pool isn't exactly a swimming pool, but it's nice to just chill in there looking at the wide sea cause the weather is just tooo craycray hot. PD isn't an open sea but where we were, the water was considered to be pretty clean! We didn't go for the water sports at the private beach next to the lobby because there wasn't much time and we just wanted to chill really.
The cafe had pretty inefficient service, the waiters were not attentive and we had to ask for things so many times. There were a lot of flies too, but that wasn't really their fault cause it was the season( i didn't know malaysia had flies season too aha ). The food was just meh, but the price wasn't too steep or anything so it was okay. I insisted on staying at the chalet to wait for the sunset cause I just love seeing the beautiful colour tones of the sky! The view was gorgeous! There was this little fountain in the middle of the water opposite our unit which was so pretty at night cause there were lights ( it was like the one at klcc ).
We drove to the town to look for dinner, we went to this place called El Cactus. We always go there for dinner when we're in PD and don't feel like having the usual seafood. The place is kinda dark but it's cozy and the service is efficient so yay for good and fast food. It might look a little dodgy but it's fine really! They serve all sorts of western food from soups and salads to steak. The address is at the bottom of the post! I didn't take any photos of the food cause we were famished and couldn't wait. After dinner, at like 10+ we drove back to the resort but stopped by the funfair first! My sister and I were so excited to go when we saw it on the way out for dinner! It's not every day you see a funfair in KL or PJ! We exchanged tokens and played a few games at the booth. We managed to win a few soft toys!! Wanted to aim for the big ones tho... ANYWAYS we were happy cause idk going to the funfair makes me happy. Then we just went back and chilled cause we got tired.
Waking up to the view of the sea is just simply breathtaking and something that I wouldn't mind waking up to everyday. Walking out of the door and getting fresh air blowing in your face is a little refreshing sometimes. We drove out to look for breakfast cause the room didn't come with breakfast and we didn't wanna pay for the not so satisfying cafe. We stopped at this row of shops selling Malay food. This lady was so enthusiastically asking us to sit so we did and we got a nasi lemak each. We wanted hot ones so she wrapped new warm ones for us. We told her it's okay to just put it on the plate but she insisted on wrapping cause she said looks would make it more appealing, idk whether did it really but the sambal was good! Who knew small shops like these would serve such good food! We went back to the hotel and chilled around in the pool for a bit before checking out. Thank god for the great weather while we were there since it's raining season now!
