Port Dickson is one of those holiday spots that we KL folks go back to again and again. Not because it has a fantastic beach but because it is one of the more accessible ones from Kuala Lumpur. This time my friends and I decided to put up at The Legend International Water Homes.

We departed from Sri Petaling at 10:30 in the morning. Using the North South Seremban Highway, we drove leisurely to our destination following the signboards leading to Glory Beach Resort (which is next to Legend International). Overall the journey was around 1.5 hours and a distance of 83 kilometers.

Before we checked in, we took our lunch in Weng Yin Seafood Village which is we have to drive far in from the main road. It is 17km from The Legend. The food is palatable however the price we paid was slightly expensive. At the time of check in, we found out that the hotel management upgraded our accommodation from our RM600 room to a RM1000+ room! Check out the room rates below. Thank you Legend, you guys are really a legend!

The room came with sea views and even a private pool!

The rooms are built jutting out from the seashore and have supporting concrete stilts right above the sea. The room we stayed in is called the Executive Pool Villas. Each room is spacious with two King size beds, 32 inch Panasonic LCD TV, DVD player (DVD rental at RM10 per movie and have to put a deposit of RM50), Astro installed, a Wifi router, a fridge, a microwave, a kettle with kitchen utensils, free coffee and tea. Towels and toilet amenities (such as shaver kit, toothbrush & toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, bath, comb, shower cap etc) are provided in the bathroom. Buggy service from lobby to room and vice versa is given free of charge. It also comes with free breakfast for two. However, the mobile phone signal is poor and there is no 3G coverage inside the room. At best you can only get GPRS or EDGE.

The Legend International Water Homes has a fairly good range of recreational activities like Archery, children playground, Nintendo WII, and fishing equipments. It also provides laundry services, child care, three floors of car park (no parking charges), restaurant for dinning and romantic decoration for couples (upon request at no extra charge).

Overall the place is enjoyable but the sea water was rather polluted being the Straits of Malacca. If you are looking for a hotel room with private pool at a decent price, The Legend International Water Homes is not too bad. Here are the location details:

Note that this resort is not to be confused with the Legend Water Chalets, which is right next door.
