Hello again, people! Still with staycation theme, this time I want to share hidden gem very nearby to Jakarta, Indonesia. This hotel has complete package for a fun family with toddlers/kids staycation. It is Harris Hotel Sentul.
With a modern minimalist touch, the hotel use orange color as its brand. Only one room type is available but it is very sufficient. Most room has twin bed but they can be set as double bed. It is completed with the usual furniture such as bedside tables, TV, wardrobe, safe deposit box, fridge, working desk plus wide sofa nearby window that can be used as extra bed.
Another worth to mention facility is that the shower room and the toilet each has separated door so everyone will get their privacy even though both rooms are uses simultaneously. It’s a very time saving treats for family with toddlers such as ours.
Now moving to facilities for kids entertainment. First, the swimming pool. It is very spacious and lights decorated its surroundings at night time. It sure is kids favorite. Next, playground. It has swings, slide, see saw and climbing bars. The slide is quite high so little kids should only use it under close supervision by adult. This area is especially toddlers favorite. Another facility for toodlers is Dino Kids Club. This is a very spacious kids club, complete with slide and ball pool. A lot of children toys and huge stuffed animals also available. A very well maintained area.
More facilities for kids are hobbit house and trampoline. There are only one table and two chairs inside hobbit house but its exterior is very beautiful for photo spot. While the trampoline is designed for few kids only. It does not reduce the fun it promised though. There are sittings area also, which is very tempting on a beautiful morning and evening. There is also huge football field available nearby the playground.
Moving on to facilities for older kids and even adults, ATV, archery, or fishing. Area for ATV is prety spacious, filled with trees and manmade slopes. Only paying 100k rupiah you can ride the ATV on the track twice which usually takes 15 minutes. We visited this area in the late evening and we got a bit spooky vibe so I suggest you to use this facility in the morning when the sun is shining but not too hot yet. Now to my favorite activity, archery. It costs 50k rupiah for 12 shots and I assure you that it is very addictive because you are challenged to improve your skill. While for fishing, the pond and fish are there but no one was attending it during my 3 days stay.
After we cover the entertainment section, let’s move to another important matter in choosing your staycation hotel, the food. I have to applaude the chef because all the food I tasted were delicious. Breakfast variety was excellent even though mostly carbs and very limited animal protein. As for room service, by joining ASR membership, you will instantly get 15% off of the food and beverage. The food price shown in the menu already cover all taxes and it is quite reasonable such as 75k rupiah for steamed rice with roast chicken, 120k for a very delicious pizza, etc. The hotel also offer hotpot/grilled package for 125k rupiah per pax.
Another very important aspect is service industry is the staff hospitality and I have to say that I am impressed with the staffs here. Everybody is very helpful and nice. Great job, Harris Hotel Sentul! I sincerely plan to return because we really enjoyed our stay here.
