My romantic getaway.. PD

I mentioned about going for a romantic getaway with Bo. It's been a while since we went on such trip... short but compact! If you know what I mean *wink -wink*

Since both of us had just came back from Indonesia (on separate trips), we opted to try the new resort in Port Dickson.. The last time we went to Port Dickson was probably 3 years ago! Or maybe more.

The PD trip was ok. The room was nice, but I have a feeling that it's not going to stay that way for a long time.. In fact, I give them maybe 1 year? It's not that bad but I've seen better. Despite that, the service was excellent!

Anyway, we checked in smoothly.. We were given the first room - judging by how it looked, it wasn't completed yet. Bathroom amenities were quite impressive, they're using Aigner. But the rest was just 'so-so'. I let the photo do the talking..

Our room rate at joint promo with UOB credit card was at RM391 nett which was inclusive of one night stay, dinner for 2, breakfast for 2, minibar & welcome drinks.

Dinner was ok. The menu was extensive but we chose to go with Chinese Set Menu, as suggested. We went to the bar after dinner. A small bar with only one service staff, who worked the bar and the service area. I think the seating capacity is not even 50! It's so small but it's okay considering that the resort is more family oriented. They did have a live band though, a trio female performer... No comment on that!

This place is super new.. The grand opening was on 1st November... When we woke up to the sound of drilling in the morning, we sort of suspected that most of the rooms were not fully done up yet.. On our way to check out, we saw contractor with trolley carrying safe boxes.


I do have another story to tell from this trip, but I'll blog about it later.. In the meantime, I am thinking of doing up the home office to be well, home office but also double as a guest room.. Since I've been receiving lots of out of town guests lately. I need to get rid of my work table and re-organize the storeroom.. and then I can start looking for sofa bed or even better something like Murphy bed wall bed which will definitely look nice in the room. Something like this:-

That's not a jacuzzi, but a plunge pool..

I guess it's ok now.. But if the maintenance is poor, it's not gonna look good that long.. Actually, I wasn't impressed.. That's all!
