lexis and grand lexis

14 04 2012

lexis and grand lexis are located near the town of port dickson, along the coastal area of negeri sembilan. the resorts are easily accessible via the north-south expressway and the kuala lumpur international airport (klia) is only half an hour drive from the resort.

both resorts were formerly known by the name of legend water chalet (lexis) and legend international water chalet (grand lexis). at first, i never knew that there are two different resorts located side by side that has lexis as their name. upon check in, i learnt that lexis and grand lexis has different receptions counter, different rooms, different pools, different coffee house, so on and so forth.. and above all, the main different is that grand lexis is much more grandé and much more luxurious. one feature that stands out is the private pool that comes along for each room in grand lexis. yes, they do have individual pool attached to each unit!

as for me, i already booked and paid for lexis. before this, the features that i treasure about lexis or legend as it formerly known as is the water chalet. i have once gone to avillion, the other resort that has chalets / rooms built above the ocean. the feeling and experience of sleeping and relaxing on water chalet is awesome! based on this excitement, i’ve vowed to bring my family to experience and get the same opportunity themselves. so, for the next time coming here, i’ll definitely booked a unit in grand lexis.. insyaAllah.

the spacious water chalets and rooms are luxuriously furnished with king and queen beds or king and day beds. with open concept bathrooms (guest can open up the roof and have shower while looking out to open skies) and solid transparent glasses for underneath seawater viewing (the water is not that clear though), lexis and grand lexis brings their guest the great outdoors right into the comfort of their rooms. each water chalet do has their own balcony, looking out to the sea. during my stay, there were many “kaki pancing” that brought along their fishing gear and goes fishing from their balcony unit.

besides the water chalets, both lexis and grand lexis also offers tower / apartment units for their guests. the lay out are more or less the same as the water units. despite the tower block, grand lexis has one more type of accommodation, located on land. these units are designed and built in a set of garden landscape.

the distance between water chalets and lobby are quite far. therefore, the resorts provided buggy service to carry guests and luggage to and fro water chalets.

my first ride on scs

31 03 2012

i finally get the chance to ride scs on 13/03/12, missed by 1 day to get a unique date 12-03-12. hehe, not a problem. i enjoyed my first ride on scs as the unit is a brand new, can smell the “bau kedai”. the space is more or less the same size as the older komuter. the differences are this new unit has a carefully designed interior with compact seat allowing wider space for standing passenger, bright indoor lights assisted by white colour interior wall, more grab poles and 3 parallels grab bar along the coach, plenty flat screen tvs, digital board displaying journey information, digital route map indicating train’s current location, 6 doors per coach easing passengers to board and disembarking, improved pa system, closed circuit tv, so on and so forth.. here are some of the photos i managed to snap. have a look at them.
