Legend Water Chalet, Port Dickson

During the long CNY holiday, we visited The Legend Water Chalets in Port Dickson and spent a night in their Executive Water Chalets at RM355++ per night inclusive of 2 breakfast. The room doesn't come with internet but we can get free access at the coffee house or the lobby.

Overall, we love the place and the ambience but the cleanliness and food is not up to the standard. The sheets and towels doesn't look clean. They look worn out (some even have stains) and should be replaced. The bath tub is not clean and the toilet flush doesn't work on the second day! Imagine our agony.

The water from the tap have some kind of a weird taste/smell too.

The check-in was rather slow (probably because it was holiday season so there were lots of people) and the staff weren't exceptionally friendly (probably tired and overworked). However, when we reached our chalet, we were pleased with the view. So was Hayley. She was running around exploring and smiling.

The hotel doesn't come with a beach. You will need to walk to the hotel next door (Glory Beach Resort) to access the beach. However, it was dirty and polluted. You might want to drive further to access nicer beaches.

The hotel does come with equipped facilities such as a gym, a karaoke room, a children playroom, an adult pool, a children pool, a playground, table tennis, bicycles for rent, fishing rod for rent and a mini market. There were plenty of indoor parking too which is ideal for such hot weather.

As for food, we tried food at coffee house (lunch on day 1 and breakfast on day 2) and it was just average. We also tried seafood at a nearby restaurant called Eighty Eight and another called Restaurant Hoi Chiew and I have to say they are very pricey (probably slaughtering non-locals like us) and they were nothing speacial. Food at 88 taste better than at Hoi Chiew but food at Hoi Chiew costs more. RM44 and RM59 for 3 dishes - fish, vege and tofu with chicken/egg with prawns. I believe we could get cheaper and tastier seafood meals here in KL.

Anyway, it was still a great holiday and an excellent breakaway from town.

Wash your feet using water from the well before entering the jacuzzi - the traditional way.

During low tide all we see is mud, during high tide we even spotted some tiny fishes but the water is definitely brown and not bluish like the photo in their website :-)

If you ask whether we will revisit, the answer is probably no. We will definitely be back but the next time we might stay at Avillion instead cause I think they have better beaches there and so far I have only heard about good compliments from friends or we might try Legends International Water Homes instead as they are newer and would probably be cleaner and better.
