Thistle Port Dickson Resort in Port Dickson

Good room for family. Spacious with sea & pool view hotel. The most important part is the tennis court is available to be used. Just bring your racquet & tennis ball, then you are good to g

Booked a sea-facing room but as it was overbooked, hotel upgraded me to a sea-facing SUITE for free 😍 Really enjoyed the spacious bedroom, bathroom and living area which also had a nice bay window.

While the hotel is old and in need of refurbishment (which was ongoing during my stay), I found the facilities were generally acceptable and my room was CLEAN. There are also cold refreshing drinks in the lobby in the afternoon. Staff were polite and accommodating (I asked for a late check out and got my room until 2pm). Service at the cafe could be better — staff didn’t seem well trained and food was slow to serve but they were polite and offered some cakes and fruits while we waited. I recommend the Nasi Goreng!! There is also a very good Chinese zichar just opposite the resort (Team Park).

The beachfront at the hotel is nice and perfect for a long walk in the mornings and evenings. Be prepared for mosquitoes and sandflies.

Its a great family getaway and has been for several stay before at this hotel.The booking and check in were smoothly done and service was fast and friendly. We like the variety of facilities such as game room, large swimming pool, private beach, f&b and live show.The family room was big with 1 king bed, 1 double decker and 1 corner seating.We had so much fun here and plan to have a future stay here.

We often stay in thistle PD past this 15yrs and love the natural environment, but this time stay the furniture getting older and some are starting to break, like the wardrobe door getting stuck and bathtub have cracked 
Hope they will arrange renovations asap

Stayed for 4day 3night at Thistle Port Dickson resort....short holidays with my familys..booking 3room..... checking in is smooth with the friendly Cik Norain is exceptionally friendly, professional and always willing to assist with smiles ...from the front desk to housekeeping all very help ,.... quite place....

Private Beach is nice for family gathering.
The swimming pool is huge suitable fir kids n adults.
Buffet breakfast is very delicious

Location:
It is located in Teluk Kemang area where along the stretch are plenty other choices of accomodation. I chose Thistle however for its name and reputation for being there quite sometime already. No worries for food hunting as you find endless options of restaurants on each side of the road. The town is about 12km away, where I visited Waterfront PD, a newly built area centred for night-life. Here you can find a lot of the famous cafe outlets like Mykori, Kenangan Coffee, Inside Scoop (to open), and my favorite being Zus. Love the setup Zus does here.. feels like somewhere in Aussie as the outlet is right next to the sea.

Arrival:
Upon arrival, the bellboy was helpful and friendly. Smooth check-in process. But, unlike stated by Trip.com, there isnt a need for deposits. Instead, I was charged what is called as "Lestari Fee", something newly introduced by the government. Per night is RM 4 I suppose, as I paid RM 8 for 2 nights-stay.

The lobby area was okay, tho I expect a lot more grandeur charm.

Room:
Spacious room, I got the King Bed, Garden View located on level 5. Overall there are 6 floors and as this is off season, not even a quarter of the rooms were occupied. Room as in pictures you can find on the net. Quite disappointed with the bathroom. Old and deserve for a makeover. Nevertheless the shower is fantastic and happy that the shower floor is even and doesnt flood. There is a bidet to my satisfactiom by the toilet bowl. Toiletries are provided but very basic, by the hotel itself.

Facilities:
Up to its 'resort' name, you have a huge pool, 2 or 3 types of kids slides and an infinity pool overlooking the sea. The depth of the pool starts at 1.5m up to 2.0m which was great. The cave deco that runs as if a waterfall looks old and in need of a proper cleaning. Lifeguard is always on duty. You may rent a few types of equipments to play in the pool.

There is also a tennis court. For now, the rental of the tennis racket isnt charged but requires a deposit. There is a mini area of arcade (open space) where the table tennis is also located at. You can also rent PS5 to play in your room.

The sea stretches into the Malacca straits, you see quite a number of big cargo, ships travelling. You can also rent a fishing rod (comes with bait) from the hotel!

Activities wise I rate as fantastic!

Food:
I took room with breakfast and I think it commensurates with the price. I'd say food quality is basic and of 3-stars hotel tier. Due to crowd on the first morning I even got a burnt omelette hahaha. The omelette was a lot better on the 2nd day.

Sad i didnt manage to try out Chinoise, where I was aiming for its 'seafood yee mee'. Perhaps I'll come again?

Check-out:
Check-out was smooth and as this is off-season, I got to late check-out.

Please support this hotel so it can live up to its name again! I love my stay 😍
