We were planning a post-natal trip and Port Dickson came up in our options. And we decided on Lexis Hibiscus as well because it looks more modern than Grand Lexis.
We booked the cheapest villa, which cost S$200+ a night. It has 2 King Beds, comes with a shower and a toilet. But no bathtub.
The changing area is super spacious, and there is even an area we setup as a diaper changing area.
Breakfast included.

Things we like:
Buggy Service
Because of their design of a hibiscus, the furthest villa is 1.2km away which is the president suite. Thus they provide free buggy service to bring the guest to your doorstep. Calling buggy service from your room will take 10-15 mins depending on which area your villa is.
There was once it came in 5 mins, and we had to request the person to wait for us.
Service:
We requested for a lot of things during our stay and all came promptly.
Travel Adapter - Because we had a Bubee sterilizer which uses a China Power Plug
Ice Bucket - We requested 3 times because we had soft drinks in the villa. And it is more shiok to drink with ice right?
Towels - We didn’t request for makeup room because the room was in a mess anyway. So we requested for more towels only.
Room Service - We ordered a dinner on the 1st dinner. Value for money at RM40, comes with 6x Chicken pieces, Fries and a bottle of coke. We could not finish the fries (Was replaced by wedges).
Daily snacks/drinks top up
Daily, they will top up 4 cans of drinks and some titbits. A very warm gesture in my opinion. That also explains why we are getting ice buckets every night.
Check-in
Seamless checking in and out. Once we parked our car at the porch, the porter will automatically push the trolley and assist to load up the luggage and items. And even up to the buggy.
Check Out
There was no delays or queues when we checked out. Perhaps it was during a weekday and it was their off-peak.
Private Pool:
The main highlight for the trip is the private pool. Each pool in the resort is 2.5m x 3.5m. It is more of a dip and soaking pool than an Olympic swimming sized pool.
What you enjoy most is the privacy. But that depends on the villa that you are allocated.
Sauna
There is also a personal sauna room in the villa itself. So after your soak, you can have a steam bath in the sauna. Thumbs up for this facility.
Sea View Request
We requested for a sea view villa and was granted. Although the distance to the villa is right till the end.
And we were blessed by a sunrise view too. How awesome right?
Facilities
There were numerous facilities in Lexis Hibiscus, but we didn’t have a chance to take a look. Because we were busy nua-ing in the villa for 2 full days. And another 2 days was check in/out.
Hibiscus Walk
We did not have a chance to walk this area. Apparently it seems like pasar malam area with some eateries. If you are bored after dinner, you can take a short walk here.
Things That can be improved:
Ants:
There were ants in the villa. We didn’t want to change the villa because of the sea view. Hence, we suck thumb and drown the ants whenever we see them.
Not a lot, probably 1 or 2 on 4 occasions.

Nasi Lemak
I was expecting a more yummy breakfast as the presentation look superb. There were indeed a lot of varieties. However, the taste is just boring that I stick to eating nasi lemak for 3 days.
Hashbrown is usually our favourite but we skipped the hashbrown after the first try. So cold and not crispy at all.
The Egg station was also disappointing. Maybe they did not add enough salt.
Bathtub
I was expecting a bathtub, but if you upgrade a bit more you will get a bathtub. But since we have a dip pool, you can soak until you song.
Location
Nothing to improve, but if you want to go walk around in their Orchard Road, you need to drive 30mins there. If not, you can take their shuttle bus service. And if you really are taking their shuttle bus service, you should not be booking this resort.
You book this resort, still wanna take bus to elsewhere. You Okay bo?
Check in time
4pm. Where got hotel check in 4pm one? It is very late leh! What if those take coach from Singapore reach before 2pm how?
Anyway, we reach at 7pm. So no delays for us. If you are early, you may want to request for an early check in if that is possible.
Things to Note
Buggy Service
When you are checking out, do call the buggy in advance to avoid super delays. Imagine they need to travel from the main station to where you stay.
It probably takes 5-10mins for the buggy to travel and also during peak hours the buggy overwhelming with guests checking out.
Shuttle Service
If you are really feeling bored staying indoors, you can take their shuttle service to the nearby Regina mall or army museum. Check with the concierge for more information.
Best time to Visit
The best time to visit Lexis Hibiscus is all the months except for November - January. This is the super peak period when families from Singapore will come to the resort.
Apart from the crowd, you will be experiencing the monsoon season, which comes with the afternoon thunderstorm. That also explains why half the time we were indoors.
Suitable For
If you are looking for some indoors staycation, this will be a good choice.
Romantic Staycation
Babymoon
Post Natal Moon
Mini Honeymoon
Family Moon
Lexis Hibiscus is definitely suitable for a luxurious staycation. If you are bored of the staycations in Singapore, you can drive down to Lexis Hibiscus.
Half the price, double the feeling. Something similar in Singapore will cost more than $400.
Other Dining Options
If you do not want to eat in at Lexis Hibiscus like us, you may want to check out surrounding eateries options. Prices are affordable and delicious.
