'Rejuvenated' chalets

I WAS immediately enveloped with a sense of calm the moment I stepped into a recently "rejuvenated" water chalet at the Avillion Port Dickson.
The spacious room was a sight to behold with a large four poster bed, a comfortable pangkin (daybed) to lounge on and a big bathroom which had a tub as well as an open air shower.
The sliding glass doors of the chalet opened out to a private balcony which affords guests gorgeous and uninterrupted views of the sea
Nostalgic: At Avillion Port Dickson, guest can get a gorgeous uninterrupted view of the seas.
With its traditional charm and modern conveniences such as a flat screen TV, an iPod dock and rainshower, guests get to enjoy the best of both worlds.
The 9.6ha (24-acre) resort was modelled to evoke the feel of a Malay fishing village and that homeliness coupled with modern facilities is what keeps guests coming back.
The resort recently refurbished all its 259 rooms including the water and garden chalets and incorporated modern touches that would appeal to the younger crowd while still maintaining its traditional decor.
Dubbed "8 Reasons to be Re.Ju.Ve.Na.Ted", the exercise was carried out gradually over an eight-month period to minimise inconvenience to in-house guests.
The new and improved resort was recently unveiled to the media who got to experience the luxury and comfort first-hand.

Assistant general manager Michael Quay said eight reasons were chosen to mark the refurbishment as it was easy to remember.
"We have made many improvements and there are more than eight key things which we added on or improved.
"But we chose eight things to highlight as it easy to remember and also a number favoured by many as in Chinese, it sounds similar to 'fatt' which is the word for prosperity," he said.
He said all rooms were repainted and touched up and the wood which is a common feature in the resort was revarnished for a "fresh" feel.
"As an established resort, we have over 5,000 regular guests and we included these modern additions after receiving feedback from our clientele.
"People like our resort because of its old world charm and although we updated our facilities, it doesn't affect the look or feel of our property," he said.
The "8 Reasons to be Re.Ju.Ve.Na.Ted" are wireless connectivity, flat screen TVs, iPod docking systems, a digital compendium (for information on hotel activities and outlets), luxurious beddings including high thread-count sheets, new duvets and extra large pillows, powerful rainshowers, new custom-made mattresses and a flash key card system for all rooms.
Spruced up: The Avillion Port Dickson recently refurbished all its 261 rooms and incorporated modern touches that would appeal to the younger crowd while still maintaining its traditional decor.
While leading members of the media on a tour around resort grounds, Avillion Port Dickson operations senior director Gared Mario Cubinar pointed out many of the other features that it was known for.
Among them are an author's corner in the garden where you can spend some quiet time and pen your thoughts and a petting zoo to keep children busy.
The resort has a romantic appeal and it is no wonder that it has been the site of many wedding proposals.
One guest liked her stay there so much she jotted down her experience in a poem that can be found in the garden inscribed in stone.
Walking around the resort, it feels like you are weaving your way through a village albeit one with modern trappings.
Room rates range from RM350++ per night for garden chalets (weekdays) to RM1,500++ per night for two bedroom water villas (weekdays).
Its Avi Spa has also won several awards with its contemporary design and 100% custom made essential oil blends.
As part of its promotional activities to highlight its latest additions, Avillion Port Dickson have organised eight lucky draws for guests with prizes including free stays, spa treatments and meal vouchers given away daily until the end of the month.
Avillion Port Dickson is located at 3rd Mile, Jalan Pantai, 71000 Port Dickson, Negri Sembilan. Tel: 06-647 6688.
