Selesa Beach Resort Port Dickson

Location:

Selesa Port Dickson is strategically located about ten minutes drive from the Port Dickson round about. It’s easy to locate as the building is designed by its traditional Minangkabau architecture and it’s in front of an army camp.

Description:

Selesa has 213 guests’ rooms and suites. The hotel is located on a stretch of white sandy beach. The beach was very clean. This time around I noticed that the beaches in Port Dickson were really clean. Kudos to the PD Municipal Council. The hotel has a baby pool, a large adult pool, games room, gym and also an air-conditioned kid’s room. As we went on a weekday, we had the pool to ourselves. Only problem was that there was not much shady trees around. The beach had more large shady trees than the pool. So we spend most of our time on the beach and in the gardens.

The U-shaped design of the resort makes all the rooms closer to the main building where the restaurant and the facilities are.

When we checked in, there was only one restaurant. The Kelana Coffee House which opens 24 hours daily offering an array of delicacies ranging from Continental and Malaysian favorites. The Nira Lounge was only opened for weekends but they don’t serve alcoholic beverages there. It didn’t have a band but they were showing live football matches on weekends.

There was a buffet when we went to the coffeehouse for dinner. The food was ok but I felt it was a little pricey. As the occupancy was low, there was no buffet. So we were served an American Set instead of buffet. It’s ok because we normally don’t take a heavy breakfast.

My Verdict:

For me this is a great hotel for families if you are in Port Dickson. Great location and is easy to locate. The hotel is quite old so don’t expect much. The plus point is that this resort is close by to eateries around Port Dickson. And also you have a great beach by your doorstep.
