Had a weekend getaway to Port Dickson with colleagues recently. Stayed in Thistle hotel which was pretty nice but the beach was not so much a beach.
It has a huge beautiful pool
And unlike most hotel pool. This is actually deep enough for me to have a good swim if I wanted to. Deepest end is 1.8 metres! 
Room has a comfortable bed. Jumped on it as soon as we arrived.
The room was spacious with a side bed or day bed or sofa bed, whatever you call it.
Besides swimming, there is kayaking, banana boat at the beach, also a ping pong table…
Fooling around before swim
Colleague brought her cute little boy
With all the good points mentioned, here are the bad points of this hotel:
Hotel breakfast was quite alright BUT alot of flies….ew….
I think it was about RM 350++ a night. Would I go there on my own? At that price and without a nice beach..probably not.
Overall a nice, quiet relaxing trip.
