The three-pearl Eagle Ranch Resort is a cowboy-themed getaway with a ton of outdoor recreation spread across 32 acres. It's surrounded by forests with nothing in walking distance, but there's plenty to entertain kids between the outdoor sports, go-kart track, paintball, and horse riding. Its 116 rooms are made to look like teepees or bandwagons, and there are larger log cabins, as well as theme-breaking Kampung stilt houses, but many of them are in need of renovation. Breakfast is included, but options are limited. There's nothing else quite like it around, though families might also be interested in the nearby PRIMALAND Port Dickson Resort & Convention Centre, which has a huge water park.

Scene
Cowboy-inspired resort and theme park
The Eagle Ranch Resort is a big, 32-acre slice of western America in the middle of a rugged stretch of coastal rain forest. Large, red playbill lettering announces the resort's name on a grassy mound in front of the open-air lobby, which is under a pavilion that's not particularly western in appearance. Old-time lanterns decorate the timber columns and a wooden carriage sits on a lawn beneath two palm trees. The theme is somewhat inconsistent throughout -- laid on thick in the main Watering Hole Restaurant with wagon wheels and wooden barrels everywhere, but is largely absent around the pool. Rooms designed like teepees and bandwagons cover large parts of the grounds, but there's also a lagoon-style pool with more traditional Kampung houses on stilts. It's best-suited to families with kids and team-building groups.
Location
A 26-minute drive from Port Dickson
The resort is located at the 14th mile along the main coastal road, surrounded by forests with nothing in walking distance. Port Dickson is at least a 26-minute drive to the northwest, but regional attractions such as the Tanjung Tuan Forest Reserve, Rachardo Lighthouse, and the popular Port Dickson Ostrich Farm are all within a 13-minute drive. Kuala Lumpur and Subang Airport are about a 90-minute drive away.
Rooms
Cowboy-themed teepee, wagon, and cabin rooms, along with Kampung stilt houses
The resort has 116 rooms, including a fun variety of options in the form of teepees or bi-level bandwagons with twin or queen beds. These are the most thematic, but they're rugged, with worn and minimal furnishings, and dated amenities such as old tube-style TVs. Additionally, some guests have reported teepees flooding when it rains. Free Wi-Fi comes standard along with electric kettles, but some are run-down and in need of a renovation. The larger Paddock Chalets are just as rustic, but have shared outdoor balconies and add mini-fridges. At the top tier, the Log Cabins have a more attractive timber and faux-stone decor, with western (or Native American) artwork, while the Kampung houses built on stilts over a lagoon-style pool depart from the theme entirely. Both have private balconies. There are also Log or Paddock Dormitories without en-suite bathrooms that sleep groups of eight to 20 people on bunk beds.
Features
Outdoor lap pool and kiddy pool, plethora of activities, and buffet restaurant
The resort's main attractions center around outdoor recreational activities such as obstacle courses and its big go-kart track. Kids can play paintball, practice repelling on a rope course, and make use of the basketball court and sand volleyball court. Some of the resort's recreational activities, including horse riding and archery, even fit in well with the overall theme. The large outdoor lap pool is set away from other facilities in a well-maintained lawn with a kiddy pool, and a hot tub under a shady pavilion. There are no spa or fitness center though. On-site dining options include a buffet restaurant, and a cowboy-themed bar, along with a poolside bar. Free breakfast is included, but options are limited and only valid for two per room (extra fees for more guests apply). The resort also has several meeting rooms and runs team-building activities for corporate groups.
