Thistle, Port Dickson

February indeed is a month of love. Hehe. My dear dear wanted a beach getaway due to some personal reason and as always, i love to plan the accommodation. I had a few choices in my mind, Avilion PD (been there before but wasn’t satisfied the previous visit), Golden Palm Tree resort (was disappointed with their bad service- imagine, reach at 3pm and room only ready by 4.30pm) and lastly, Thistle PD (never been there). So it’s very obvious that we chosen Thistle or else my blog title would not be it. Duh~

We started journey at 10.30am all the way from KLang and safely arrived around 12noon. It was very easy to locate the hotel. Direction and maps were provided in the hotel website. We upgraded our room from standard to seaview with extra charges of  RM70 (before tax). Upon entering the hotel, it has a long driveway. Staffs were very friendly. I loved the service there very much.

Cozy Lobby…very warmth and welcoming color

Seaview from Room #456

The pool as deep as 2.5m. It’s huge!!

The room preview ;). Don’t be fooled by the picture. The double bed was spacious enough for 3-4 adults and the bathroom’s interior was so beautiful.

*Cam-whoring*

Hot Chicks, I'’m coming!!!

 

After busy admiring the room, we went for a stroll and later to lunch.

*In exploring mood* Saw a purple signboard at the far end and decided to check it out

There is a swing! A swing! O yeah~

If you hate me, you might think i’m retarded but if you love me, you will think that i’m cute! ^3^ *giggle*

 

Lunch: We picked “ Fresh”. Well, the food was expensive and below average.

Green curry udon mee. The soup was tasteless. Could not even taste a hint of coconut milk or seasoning. Basically, it was just like a mashed chili in hot water (RM22++).

My penne was ok. Also a bit under season but it was WAY better then the super crazy spicy green curry (RM26++).

Dinner Venue: Glass

 

Love the ambience

The food was slow. Hmm…i think we waited about 30-45 minutes as there was only one chef on duty with many many tables to attend to. Calamari and Magherita pizza as starters.

Wasn’t fresh calamari. It was actually a paste in a shape of a ring. Not too bad.

The pizza was good. No basil at sight. Only powder form.

My dear’s main course: Pan fried Seabass. Overcooked but it was ok.

 

Ravioli with spinach and cheese fillings. Honestly, i can hardly taste the fillings cause the skin was too thick. Disappointed and having to pay RM36 for this.

 

After dinner, we headed back to Cumulus for night band performance. It was very entertaining. The girls can really sing! The choice of songs were good too. Updated; e.g. Katy Perry, Rihanna, Kesha’s songs and even Justin Bieber (Lol)

 

Overall, we had a wonderful stay here in Thistle. Seriously, I would recommend my friends and definitely, my first choice of stay in Port Dickson. Checking out was fast and done professionally too. Will be back if budget allows..Bon Voyage!
