Seterusnya kami menuju ke Thistle Hotel, hotel penginapan saya. While on the way En. Zarir tanya mahu ke saya ke Lexis Hibiscus. Tentu la saya nak. Tapi boleh ke non-guests masuk ke situ? Boleh kata En. Zarir. Apparently, orang awam boleh jalan-jalan di Hibiscus Walk resort tu.
Eagle Ranch Resort.
Masuk ke area Port Dickson.
And so we made a detour masuk ke Lexis Hibiscus, Port Dickson. Actually I had always wondered what it is like inside the resort. I know about the overwater villas yang berbentuk bunga raya kalau dilihat dari atas. Kalau jalan-jalan di Hibiscus Walk tu, which is basically a beach walk, tentu la tak nampak shape bunga raya tu.

Reclaimed land creating small lagoon. Beautiful.
Yes, di sini pun ada 'red heart/love' sign for photo taking.
I 💗 Hibiscus.
That's the Lexis Hibiscus Main Building with 117 ocean view rooms. The rooms are named 'Sky Pool Villas' and its published rate is RM1,750.00. At this tower block there's also the 'Royal Suites' with rate RM4,220.00 located at top floor.
Ini map Lexis Hibiscus yang berbentuk bunga raya dan nama-nama water villas.
The main tower is at the bottom left. And as you walk through the water villas you'll come upon the 'leaves' where the Executive Pool Villas are.
As you walk further, there are the Premium Pool Villas pada 5 kelopak (petals) bunga raya, which are divided into non-sea view and sea view villas. Actually semua villa atas air cuma some ada view laut lepas i.e the sea view villas.
Then as you walk up the 'styles' (pollen tube) part you'll come upon the Panorama Pool Villas yang terbahagi kepada sea view villas dan fountain view.
Dan hujung sekali di bahagian 'stigma' ada Imperial Suites dan Presidential Suites.
Ada 400 feet water fountain di tengah laut tu tapi masa saya di situ ia tidak dipasang. It is the tallest water fountain in Malaysia.
Those are the Executive Pool Villas. The Published Rate for Executive Pool Villa is RM1,720.00. Rates from RM 680.00.

Lepas short walk di Hibiscus Walk, kami ke main building. Saja la since dah sampai sini nak la tengok the lobby.
Ada fountain di depan main entrance resort.
Jom kita masuk kejap.
The Reception.
Siting area and Tour Desk.
Then I wonder boleh ke non-guests naik ke level atas main building ini to see the hibiscus shape water villas from above? So saya saja la tanya pada concierge. Tak salah tanya, dan kalau tak dibenarkan I totally understand if such entry should be for the guests only. Terus terang je saya kata kami bukan guests di resort ini. But then he said yes I can. I was half expecting he'd said no, but he didn't. In fact, the concierge cadangkan kami (saya dan En. Zarir) supaya pergi ke 2 level dan lepas itu ke Level 13 sebab view dari tingkat 13 tu ada lebih panoramic. Wah, bagus sungguh concierge resort ni. And of course I thanked him.
Kami pun naik la ke tingkat 2. Ini di Horizon Deck, Level 2.
Walau pun di tingkat 2, pemandangan tetap awesome.
Dari sini boleh nampak Executive Pool Villas dan Premium Pool Villas.
Di main building ini ada 117 bilik. Water villas ada 522.
Di hujung sana tu ialah area Hibiscus Walk yang kami pergi tadi.
Executive Pool Villas.
Itu adalah Lighthouse Club. Lokasinya di tengah-tengah '5 kelopak bunga raya'.
Executive Pool Villa balcony.
In case you are wondering how deep the pool is.
Jauh juga nampaknya nak jalan di sepanjang 'styles' tu. Tapi jangan risau sebab ada 24-hour buggy service.
Lepas tu kami naik ke tingkat 13. Ini observation deck di SKYballroom Level 13.
Lagi tinggi, lagi la awesome pemandangannya.

Ini pula pemandangan Lexis Hibiscus yang saya ambil dari kapalterbang semasa penerbangan pulang kami ke Malaysia dari Cebu, Phillipines.
Resort lain yang ada di Malaysia yang seperti Lexis Hibiscus ialah Avani Sepang Goldcoast Resort yang berbentuk palm tree. Ini foto resort tu yang sempat saya rakam semasa pernerbangan dari KLIA ke Padang, Sumatera Barat, Indonesia.
Lexis Hibiscus 2 dijadualkan akan dibuka pada tahun 2024. Resort 5 bintang itu akan dibina di lokasi bersebelahan dengan Lexis Hibiscus di Port Dickson.

kalau the water is crystal clear , azure blue , nampak ikan ikan kat bawah

kalau murky water macam kat PD .. macam err....
:))
dengan ucapan..
duhhhhhh
merujuk kepada perbualan kita tadi :))
hahhaahhahhahaa
baru rasa berbaloi sewa water villa gini
Indeed. The sheer size of the whole water complex is quite impressive.
DeleteI agree. Personally, I think the whole point of water chalets is so that guests can enjoy the sea, like you said, the clear water and the fish and corals. A glass floor that gives guests a peek of the bottom of the sea.
Like, yeah :).
Ada saya tengok di astro satu rancangan tentang bagaimana mereka bina water villas di Maldives. Huii.. rumit. All things environmental mesti diberi priority. Dari segi menjaga the environment ketika pembinaan hinggalah in making sure the environment is the 'centre' of the whole water villa allure. Of course the villas have all the facilities, but it is the 'sand, sea and sky' that is front and center of the whole experience. And of course to also ensure the environment stay sustained and glorious for years to come.
It was quite a fascinating documentary.
