Stayed here with friends for one night, at Kalyana Villa. If you come here, look out for 'The Grand Hill' signboard, because it's the same entrance. Kalyana is a spacious 5-bedroom villa with 3 living room, a full complete kitchen, a dining room, and a pool. It smells good too, because they put an electric diffuser in one of the living rooom. Take note that one out the 5-bedroom is not en-suite. It's the one that I slept in and unfortunately I saw that the pillow case is not in a good condition (had some holes like it's about to be broken). Many of us also think that the pillow itself was too thick - idk, maybe it's not usual for us Indonesian. Service is good. We booked a BBQ dinner and apparently it comes with a sekoteng service too! Everybody was happy to have this traditional warm drink in a place like Puncak. Nice touch, Plataran! :) Besides that, we are also thankful that our butler can respond fairly fast to our requests such as replacing the water gallon or asking for a little of salt and pepper. The next morning, breakfast fried rice came early, so again, everybody's happy. After that, we went for a morning walk around the area and saw that they were preparing a wedding at the other villa (and it looked really beautiful!). All in all, we enjoyed the villa a lot! Or maybe too much because now I have to apologize to the staff (who apparently stayed a level below the villa), if my friends were too loud at night and it bothered them. I guessed that's the impact of #stayathome and WFH for too long. Anyhow, keep up the good work, Plataran...! :)
P.S We all did covid-19 test before went to the villa, and everybody had a non-reactive result, so all good...
Read moreA good place to change for a moment the atmosphere of the city crowd, the location of the villa goes down inside, passing the downhill road, arrived at the villa greeted by the noise of the river flow (Inggrida right next to the river) that's for the first impression.
The villa facilities are complete according to the descriptions, 5 rooms with each bathroom in it (1 room has no bathroom, and 1 bathroom has 2 doors connected to the room and can be used publicly). Terrace on each floor, 3-point gathering spot with comfy sofas, swimming pool with balloons and water beds. The staff also help provide barbeque and steam boats equipments in the evenings. The staff is quick with high initiative to advise on weather (for outdoor dining) and road closing opening schedules.
The small minor is the cleanliness. I found the floor sticky (the villa slippers were very helpful) and if you want to rejuvenate the villa equipment this is the right time. I saw that the cutlery was very good, but the cooking utensils such as wooden spoons were moldy, the dishwasher faucet was dislodged, the bed pillows were not soft and damp (I think because of the old pillows and cold weather).
In conclusion, we are a large family (4 families with 4 kids below 7 years old) satisfied vacationing at Inggrida Plataran, would be happy to recommend to friends and family. If there is an opportunity and fortune, we surely will return again. Success for Plataran Puncak, greetings to all employees there (Mr. Vecky...
Read moreWe really enjoyed our time in the Grand Narendra villa. I have given full points for the property they have maintained and nature around, which kind of covers for all minor points. Its good place for get together with friends and family. Its middle of crowded area, but when we enter you just comes in middle of pure nature. ||Pros:||- Check in was smooth, you can literally park your car in the front of the villa. Please be careful its very narrow road, avoid sedan if you can. ||- Nature at its best, the tress out the villa (Grand Narendra) are very tall, also the garden area with Ganesha statue was amazing sight.||- You just own small mountain where there is villa in the middle, with river flowing in the front, with rice fields etc. ||- Grand Narendra villa I would say has best view. It has living room and Kitchen on top floor from where you enter, 2 nd floor is master bedroom with living area and 1 st floor is another bedroom. All floors have balcony with nice view.||||Cons: ||- They didnt take the ID card while checkin or asked for Vaccine||- Food/breakfast is not good, they get it from another hotel nearby.||- Kitchen was not...
