Luxury Cikarang Getaway: Stunning 1BR at Mustika Golf!
Luxury Cikarang Getaway: Stunning 1BR at Mustika Golf!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the Luxury Cikarang Getaway: Stunning 1BR at Mustika Golf! experience. Forget the glossy brochures, I'm here to tell you the real deal, the messy, the glorious, and yes, the slightly imperfect truth. And let me tell you, after my stay, I’m still reeling… in a good way!
First Impressions, Because, Like, Duh, They Matter (A Little More Than the Brochure Says)
- Accessibility: Right off the bat, it felt… okay. Not perfectly accessible, mind you. While they say 'Facilities for disabled guests' exist, I didn't see a ramp leading directly to the pool from the elevator. I'm not in that boat (thankfully), but it’s worth a heads-up if you are. I'm assuming the elevator is accessible.
- Check-in Chaos (in a Good Way): Surprisingly, that "contactless check-in/out" didn't quite happen. I mean, yes, they offer it, but I ended up chatting with the super friendly front desk staff for about ten minutes anyway. No complaints here! I quite liked the personal touch. They even offered that "check-in/out [private]" experience, and again, not a bad thing.
The Good Stuff: Rooms, Glorious Rooms & the Stuff That Keeps You There:
- The 1BR – My Personal Sanctuary (And Its Quirks): "Stunning" is the exact word. Seriously, pictures don’t do it justice. The bed? Heaven. Extra long, super comfy. And oh, the blackout curtains! I could’ve slept for a week. Though I had to fiddle with them a bit to get the perfect darkness.
- Amenities that Made Me Swoon (And Occasionally Trip): They really thought of everything. Slippers, bathrobes… the works. And the "complimentary tea & water"? I drank so much tea; that's saying something! Okay, the “complimentary" bottled water was a lifesaver!
- Tech Geek Paradise – with a Human Touch: Free Wi-Fi? Check. Free Wi-Fi in ALL rooms? Double Check! But that internet [LAN] was a nice touch for the few times my WiFi was down while attempting to make a live stream of my trip!
- Those Extra Touches (That Make You Feel Like Royalty, Even If You’re Not): The "in-room safe box" was appreciated, and that "mirror" & the "hair dryer" were perfect. I mean, who doesn't love a good mirror and a dryer?
Cleanliness, Safety, and the Anxiety-Free Zone (Almost):
- The Sanitizing Obsession (in a Good Way): The room felt immaculately clean. They were heavy on the "Anti-viral cleaning products". Plus, the "Rooms sanitized between stays". That "Hand sanitizer" was everywhere! I liked the "Safe dining setup," because, let's be honest, no one wants to worry while eating.
- The Doctor/Nurse on Call: A nice touch, but I didn't need them!
- My Room Sanitize Opt-Out Plea (Unsuccessful, sadly): Honestly, I was a little too clean. They definitely do a deep clean between stays, and you can't opt-out. I felt slightly bad, but the place was already in top condition!
Eating, Drinking, and Indulgence: My Personal Food Coma Journey:
- Restaurants, Restaurants Everywhere! (And Food Comas Followed): Okay, so they have a bunch of restaurants. The "Asian cuisine in restaurant" was my jam, but the "International cuisine in restaurant" was a good contender. The "Coffee shop" sucked me in every afternoon for a pick-me-up.
- Daily Buffet Bliss (with a Side of Guilt): The breakfast buffet was… epic. The [Western breakfast] & the [Asian breakfast] were amazing. I ate so much, I’m pretty sure I gained five pounds. Seriously, the "Breakfast buffet" was a serious highlight.
- Snack Attack & Poolside Bliss: "Poolside bar" meant daily cocktails. And the "Snack Bar"? Well, let's just say I wasn't leaving hungry. My bank account, on the other hand…
- Room Service: My New Best Friend: The "Room service [24-hour]" was a lifesaver, especially when I wanted a late-night snack.
- The Vegetarian Restaurant: A Surprisingly Delightful Find: As a mostly-carnivorous individual, the vegetarian restaurant, although a bit of a trek, surpassed my expectations.
- That Bottle of Water: The Simple Pleasure: I can't deny that 'bottle of water' in the room was a godsend for my hangover.
Fun & Relaxation: Where I Found My Zen (And a Few Wrinkles):
- Spa Day: My Body’s Overhaul: "Spa" and "Spa/sauna" got me immediately. Body scrub, body wrap, and the massage… pure bliss. And a pool with a view? Yes, please.
- Fitness Center: I Tried (and Mostly Failed): "Gym/fitness" was there, and I even tried to use it. Let's just say my workout lasted about 20 minutes.
- Pool Time: My Favorite Pastime: The "Swimming pool [outdoor]" was gorgeous, and I spent a fair amount of my time there.
The Nitty Gritty: What You NEED to Know:
- Accessibility: As mentioned, further accessibility to the exterior areas would be a major win.
- Noise Levels: Soundproof rooms? Yes, for the most part. I didn't hear much, EXCEPT for some occasional hallway chatter.
- Pets: Not a pet friendly. Not even an option.
- Internet: The internet was good, but I had some occasional drops.
- Things that could improve: It does need to improve on its wheelchair accommodation.
The Verdict: Should You Book It? Absolutely!

Bloomfield House Blackpool: Your Dream UK Getaway Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the gloriously messy reality of… checks notes …Scenic 1BR Apartment at Mustika Golf By Travelio Cikarang, Indonesia. Sounds glamorous, doesn't it? Prepare to be disillusioned. This isn’t a perfectly curated influencer’s feed; this is life, people. Strap in.
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Cikarang Apartment Mystery
- 14:00 (ish): Landed! Jakarta's been sweatin' bullets, so I'm already glistening like a glazed donut. The drive to Cikarang… well, let’s just say my phone battery died documenting the traffic. And the air quality? Let’s not talk about it. Honestly, I'm pretty sure I inhaled a significant chunk of the Indonesian dust bowl. This is where the romance begins.
- 16:00: Finally, finally arrive at the apartment. "Scenic" they said. "Golf course views," they promised. Honestly, the view from the window is… mostly other buildings. And a distant, somewhat sad-looking patch of green. Is that the golf course? It might be. Kinda hard to tell through the perpetual haze.
- 16:15: The apartment itself. Okay, it's… clean? That's a win in my book. Found the AC remote, and I’m already wrestling with it to dial that sweet, sweet arctic blast. Thank God for air conditioning. Honestly, it's the only reason I'm still sane.
- 17:00: Grocery shopping. Okay, so I was hoping for a quaint local market experience, y'know, vibrant colors, exotic fruits… But the closest supermarket is basically a slightly fancier version of a gas station convenience store. I ended up with instant noodles, some suspiciously brightly colored juice, and a bag of chips that probably has more air than actual crisps. This is culinary perfection, folks!
- 19:00: Dinner in the apartment. The noodles are… edible. The juice tastes like liquefied rainbows. The chips are… well, they’re chips. I think I may have just eaten more sodium than my recommended daily intake. But hey, at least I didn't have to cook! Small victories, right?
- 20:00: Attempt to connect to the promised WIFI. Struggle, frustration, muttered curses. It’s not working. I'll be honest, I'm ready to just start throwing things. Finally, after about an hour of fiddling, I get a faint connection. Time to check emails and binge-watch something. Gotta find some sort of distraction.
Day 2: Golf Course… or Is It?
- 07:00: Wake up. Well, "wake up" is generous. More like, semi-conscious shuffle toward the coffee machine. I’m already regretting the convenience store juice. My stomach is rumbling in a manner that suggests I've offended it with my culinary choices.
- 08:00: Decide to finally scope out this “Golf Course View.” Well, the promised view is blocked by another building. I wander outside for my morning walk and start to see the "golf course", which appears to be a surprisingly active place. People actually golfing! I may have to give it a whirl.
- 08:30: Head back up to the apartment. I spend the morning doing some work and enjoying the beautiful silence. When I have the urge wander out and see what’s around.
- 11:00: I figure a lunch is in order. I head down to the closest street to find something. I see some places and choose the safest looking option. I end up ordering a chicken dish. The waiter, bless him, barely speaks any English, and I barely speak any of the local tongue. We manage to communicate with some pointing, smiling enthusiastically and gestures. The food arrives, and it’s fantastic! It was exactly what I was hoping for. Sometimes you just get lucky.
- 14:00: More work from the apartment. The WIFI is being its usual patchy self, but I manage. I spend the afternoon alternating between staring out the window, and grinding into the work I have.
- 18:00: Considering dinner. The prospect of more convenience store cuisine is a little depressing. I'm torn between braving the local eateries and risking another instant noodle adventure. Decide I’m going to head out and find some food!
- 19:00: Went back to the chicken place. The food was just as good.
- 20:00: Binge-watching. The WIFI is holding up, and I’m thoroughly enjoying whatever I’m watching.
Day 3: Farewell to Cikarang (and My Sanity?)
- 08:00: Wake up. Okay, I hate to admit it, but the apartment is starting to grow on me. Maybe it's the limited choices. Maybe it's the fact that I've finally figured out the AC. This is my last day.
- 09:00: Actually head to the golf course. I have no experience, and very little idea of what I’m doing. I head out there anyway. It's a whole different experience than what I expected. I don’t understand golf very well, but I do enjoy it. I try to hit a ball, and it barely goes anywhere. The man next to me laughs. I don’t care. I’m having fun and enjoying myself.
- 12:00: Back to the apartment. Last lunch of convenience store food. Sigh. I’m going to miss absolutely nothing about this.
- 15:00: Pack up. The anticipation for leaving is already making me giddy. Goodbye, apartment! Goodbye, questionable air quality! And goodbye, the ever-present threat of WIFI failure!
- 16:00: Cikarang: the place I visited. I'm glad I got to experience a little part of it.
- 19:00: Head to the airport.
- 22:00: Flight! I’m heading home!
- 23:00: The memories I made here will stay with me forever!
Final Thoughts:
So, was this the glamorous, Instagram-worthy vacation I envisioned? Absolutely not. Was it a mess? Oh, yes. Was it a learning experience? Definitely. Did it have its moments of beauty and quiet? Surprisingly, also yes. Would I recommend it? Maybe… if you have a sense of humor and a high tolerance for slightly dodgy food and inconsistent internet. Welcome to the real world. This whole trip was a bit of a disaster, but ultimately, it was an experience. I’m ready for the next one!
Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Regina Petrovsky Hotel, Kazan, Russia
Luxury Cikarang Getaway: Stunning 1BR at Mustika Golf! (and my brain's messy take)
Is this place *really* as luxurious as it sounds? "Stunning 1BR" and all that jazz?
Okay, *luxurious*. Let's be real, I've seen the word plastered everywhere. Picture this: me, scrolling through the listing at 3 AM, fueled by instant noodles and the desperate need to escape the daily grind. "Stunning 1BR" - sounds...promising. Alright, it's a *nice* apartment. Clean, modern, the pictures were definitely styled. The bathroom? Yes, the bathroom. The pictures did *not* capture how utterly blissful it was. Like...hotel level bliss. But luxurious? Compared to a mansion? Maybe not. Compared to my current apartment? OH YES. It felt luxurious *to me*. That said, my partner, bless her heart, is a luxury snob. She raised one eyebrow and said "Needs a better coffee machine." So, you know, perspective, people! And the coffee *was* terrible. But hey, the view overlooking the golf course? Spectacular. Worth the questionable java.
Golf course view – does it actually *feel* like you're on a golf course? I'm picturing serene mornings watching pros tee off.
Serene mornings? Hah! More like "early morning whack-athon" – the sound of those golf clubs. Okay, it WAS cool watching people tee off, especially with my morning coffee (the *terrible* coffee). The view? Unbeatable. Seriously, take a deep breath and just *look*. It's green, it's sprawling, it's... a golf course. Except... the "pros" were maybe... enthusiastic amateurs? I saw one guy spend a good five minutes trying to get his ball *out* of a sand trap. It gave me a giggle. I mean, I wouldn't exactly call the view "professional golf tournament-level," more like "weekend warriors battling the elements." My personal highlight? Watching a kid, maybe seven years old, absolutely *nail* a shot. Pure joy. So, yes and no. Yes, golf course. No, not quite the Masters. But still, pretty darn cool.
What's the apartment *really* like? Does it feel lived-in or like a stark showroom?
Showroom, mostly. Clean, minimalist, all the furniture looked brand new. Which, honestly, is a blessing. I like clean. I *need* clean. The downside? A little…sterile. It lacked that cozy "sink into the sofa" vibe. Think more "carefully placed cushions and a decorative book collection" rather than “blankets and a remote control graveyard.” There was a slight lack of personality, if I’m being brutally honest. Like someone decided to decorate based on an Ikea catalog dedicated to "unlived-in spaces." But hey, at least the air conditioning worked *perfectly*. And the bed? Oh my god, the bed. So comfortable! I could have slept there for a week. I almost did.
Is it actually *in* Cikarang? Seems like a silly question, but you never know…
Yes! It is definitely in Cikarang. And let me tell you, getting *to* it... well, that's an experience in itself. Traffic. Traffic everywhere! I'd forgotten how hectic Jakarta's surrounding areas can be. It was about an hour and a half drive from Jakarta, maybe more, depending on the day, the traffic, and the mood of the gods of transportation. The GPS was a lifesaver. Make that a *sanity* saver. Do your research on travel times beforehand and pack some snacks. Seriously. Snack. Pack.
What's nearby? Any good restaurants or things to do *besides* golf?
Okay, let's talk "nearby". *Near* the apartment is the golf course. And... well, that's the main draw, isn't it? There's a clubhouse, probably with a restaurant. I didn't actually *go*. I’m not a golfer, remember? Outside of that? You'll probably need a car, or a ride-sharing app. There were a few malls, which I'm not exactly a fan of, but if you like that sort of thing, you're in luck. There are also your staples like mini-markets. Restaurants-wise, I'm not an expert. I honestly took advantage of the apartment's kitchen and cooked a simple meal. But yes, there are restaurants. I can't remember the exact locations though I saw signs for some. Research is your friend here.
Would you recommend this place to a friend? Is it worth the money?
Okay, the million-dollar question. Would I recommend it? Yep. With caveats. If you’re a golfer? ABSOLUTELY. End of discussion. If you're looking for a quiet, clean, and relatively luxurious escape from the craziness of city life? Definitely. The bed alone is worth the price of admission. Is it worth the money? Yeah, I'd say so. It wasn't dirt cheap, obviously, but the quality of the apartment itself, the view, and the overall experience were good. Plus, there's the peace of mind of knowing your stuff isn't going to be stolen (Cikarang is known for things like petty theft, which is why I have to mention it). It's a great option to get away. This coming from a (slightly) stressed-out, noodle-fueled individual. But, remember, *terrible* coffee is the only real deal-breaker. But you might be able to survive.
Any major disasters happen during your stay? Like, did the toilet explode? Did you accidentally set the building on fire?
Okay, okay, deep breaths. No exploding toilets. No accidental arson attacks. Thank goodness. The biggest disaster? I misplaced the remote control for the air conditioner for about an hour. Panic. Pure, unadulterated panic. It was *hot*. Other than that, no real disasters. Smooth sailing, basically. Which, after the stress of the drive *in*, was a welcome relief. Now, where was that remote...? Ah, yes, it was under the…never mind.
Okay, but what about the "vibe"? Is it a place you'd go back to for a *romantic* getaway?
Romantic? Hmmm. Depends on *your* definition of romance. If romance means "a beautiful view, a comfortable bed, and no distractions," then absolutely. If romance means "candlelit dinners, intimate walks, and spontaneous declarations of love"...maybe dial it down expectations just a *smidge*. I mean, the view is definitely romanticSmart Traveller Inns
