We plan to have a family beach gateway nearby as my sister's children like to play water. After much thought, our choice of destination this time is the Thistle Hotel in Port Dickson.
This 5-star beach resort with 251 luxurious rooms is one of the top hotels in Port Dickson located along Jalan Pantai, Teluk Kemang with a fairly long stretch of beachfront.
We reached the resort close to 3pm, just nice for check-in. The lobby is a bit stuffy and packed with peoples. We even have to line up and wait for our turn to check in. Check-in was pretty slow. There are check-in desks at both left and right side of the lobby but only one side seemed to be in operation. A bit disappointing though.
Despite the bad first impression, luckily the room was a saving grace. We stay in the Deluxe Sea View with a very nice pool view, located at the same floor as the main lobby. It was spacious, clean, cozy and well-maintained. It comes with twin beds and a sofa day bed.
The basic must haves – tea and coffee making facilities.
One of the most spectacular facilities in this resort is the swimming pool. The pool spans over a big area and it is the main attraction for many resort guests.
The pool looked so tempting!
The pool is divided into a few sections with different depths clearly stated.
The kiddie pool and slide area which is very popular among small kids. Upper deck of the kiddie pool is a wading pool for babies. This is the water slides.
The main pool is deep (2 to 2.5 metres) and life guards could be seen patrolling around the pool all the time to look out for the safety of pool users. This with a bigger water slide.
One can also hang around the pool-side bar for drinks and enjoy the view : )
Besides that, Thistle Hotel has almost every facilities that suits you and your family needs.
It has private beach, spa, games room, lego room, children indoor playground, pool table, tennis court, gym room, water sports and .....
a 9-hole golf course!
The beach is just about 100 metres away.

Even though I don’t have high expectation for the beaches in Port Dickson but to my surprise, the beach is quite clean and water surprisingly quite clear.
You can sit down on the beach chair, relax your mind, overlooking the Straits of Malacca.
But, do watch out for sand flies! Remember to put on your insect repellent and sun block.
Or build your own sand castle..

Here end our 2 days 1 night family gateway.
We enjoyed playing with sand and swimming here.
Recommend this place for family gateway.
There are a number of seafood restaurants outside the resort. Restoran Port Dickson 肥肥海鲜楼 is one of the nearest to the resort as it is just a short drive away. The food served there is quite nice and the price is reasonable. We had our lunch there before heading back.
