Port Dickson, town, south-central Peninsular (West) Malaysia, on the Strait of Malacca. The port, now in decline, was used extensively during the late 19th century to export the tin mined in the foothills of the state. Now chiefly a seaside resort with a fishing village, it is connected by rail with the inland entrepôt of Seremban, 17 miles (27 km) northeast. Oil refineries are concentrated along the sandy coastline; tankers anchor offshore. Cape Tuan (formerly Cape Rachado) to the south has a lighthouse, and the old fort of Lukut is a few miles inland. Pop. (2000) 69,175. more

The 639-room Lexis Hibiscus Port Dickinson is one of the most iconic luxury hotels in the region. Its villas are built over the water forming the shape of a hibiscus flower stretching almost a mile into the Strait of Malacca, and suites are housed in a big tower overlooking the beach. All rooms have top-notch features such as private plunge pools and steam rooms, and the vast majority of them offer great sea views. This is a solid option for those seeking a fun-filled family vacation, with water sports, Segways, and even helicopter rides -- but expect to pay extra fees for everything, including the kids’ club. A dozen restaurants offer varied (but rather average) food, from causal buffets and outdoor barbecue joints to more formal a la carte eateries. Sister property Grand Lexis Port Dickinson is a great upscale alternative with lower rates.
Built in the shape of Malaysia’s national flower, the hibiscus, the Lexis Hibiscus Port Dickinson is one of the most iconic resorts in the region. The 13-story main tower, which houses all suites, is built on the edge of the beach, while villas are directly over the water, jutting out for almost a mile into the Strait of Malacca and forming a huge flower shape that’s easily recognizable from the air. The resort is packed with great amenities, but extra fees can add up, and some aspects of the property are a tad average for a hotel of this caliber, especially the food options and some services. In particular, one would expect that a hotel this size, where the most expensive rooms are located about a 10- to 15-minute walk from the shore and all amenities, would have figured out an efficient way to get guests from point A to point B, but there have been complaints of long waits for shuttle service. Guests have also complained of crowds at breakfast.
The hotel has 639 rooms, including two-bedroom suites located in the main tower and a number of villas housed in small buildings built directly on the water. Decor is contemporary, if a tad generic, consisting of off-white tile floors, minimalist furniture in earth tones, and pops of purple, blue, orange, and pink that may be cheerful or loud depending on taste. All rooms are spacious and airy, with at least two king beds and floor-to-ceiling windows that open onto terraces with private plunge pools and loungers. Bathrooms are large and attractive, with double sinks, windows to the terrace, walk-in rainfall showers, and separate soaking tubs with sea views. All rooms have steam rooms as well. here
