Sawarna Beach

Reviewed By Indra M - Bandung, Indonesia

Beside the minuses of the beach condition, Sawarna still worth a visit!
Sawarna beach used to be isolated beach and only view adventurer visited here since the beach could only be accessed through a bamboo bridge crossing the river from the not so wide road which connected the village to the town nearby. Back then visiting Sawarna will be adventurous, but there were so limited place to stay and to spend the night to the point the most of the visitor were camping near the beach.
But today, the bamboo bridge has already been replaced with steel suspension bridge though only 2-wheel vehicle can cross the bridge. Today there are so many places or houses offering their space as the place to stay and spend the night. And many of them has already transformed from regular houses to home-stay. Today Sawarna has already too crowded especially on the weekends.
And because of this very reason, as happen anywhere else in Indonesia: where the place is overcrowded of visitors, there will be lots of garbage lying around. It’s really a shame of us, Indonesian people. I hope the future generations will somewhat appreciate the environment better that today’s generation. It’s really a shame the beach as beautiful as Sawarna, got polluted by domestic garbage and trash where you can see almost everywhere alongside Sawarna beach!
Let’s talk about the beach. The beach is famous among surfers especially from Europe. The wave is like a magnet to them. So, though the place kind of remote from big cities, but you can easily meet westerners in this place of attraction.
From that many choices of home stay, Widi Home stay is the best you can get. The facility is limited, with two king size bed set on the floor and one small bathroom without hot water. But at least the room is equipped with AC which you will need it when the temperature getting hotter and reach its peak in the afternoon. The price is considerably very cheap, because you get 3-time heavy meal every day; breakfast, lunch and dinner of home cooked meal, Sundanese style. The drinking water is free and you even get the refrigerated drinking water for free.
Don’t forget to bring mosquito repellent solution or anything that can keep mosquito away from you since to mosquito, this place is also their paradise.

Supermal Karawaci

Reviewed By Sony S

I live in Lippo Karawaci and the Supermal is one of the most frequently visited by me and my family.
It has everything that we need. I mean, everything! From all kind of groceries to any type of restaurants. From cinemas to bookstore. From hair stylists to pharmacies. You name it, the Supermal has it.
And it also has an excellent valet service at two of its lobbies. They save me a lot of time.
Just be careful when visiting on Saturday or Sunday nights. It can be very crowded.

Ocean Park Water Adventure

Reviewed By MrKlaasP - Brussels, Belgium

I have been to many Water Parks (waterboom as they say in indonesia) in Jakarta, medan, yogya, and solo.
This one was the best one in overal performance.
Entrance is easy, foreigners are not discriminated price wise, although local creditcards might give you a one buy, one free entrance. Entrance price was ok and cheaper then for example jungle waterboom in bogor. Parking space is available, i do not think it is included in entrance fee, i did not use it so can not be sure. Compared to europe parking is usually relatively cheap/acceptable in Indonesia.
First of all for indonesian standards it is very well maintained and clean.
Smoking is prohibited in most areas except the kantine (food) area's and i did not see anyone smoke which is remarkable for Indonesia.
For people with family and kids they are plenty of choice for all different ages and plenty of lifeguards and a bit overactive security for the women (guess better to much then to little). Dresscode is what you want it to be, most indonesians dress up all over, although it is not required or expected. Certain glides forbid to long loose trousers so think about that. Plenty of food vendors at a reasonable price (more expensive than basic street vendors, more cheap then most shopping mall food). They present themself a lot but dont insist when you wave them off. The food was tasty and hygienic presented on scene.
I went on a monday. Never had to queue. It is good to know that the parc is closed for public on sunday as it caters to company's/groups that day.
It is divided in different pool area's with its own slides, for kids for all ages clearly advertised however you can still go, relax in its water just not use the kid slides.
Adults got their own slides.
- 2 where you not need inflated bands (basic waterboom slides)
- 1 where you not need inflated bands straight forward down slide.
- 4 where you need inflated bands (provided by the park free of extra charge), they bring them to the top with elevator so you not need to carry them up. Blue, red, yellow, green slide, Two of them you have ride with 2 persons, Two of them you can do alone. I must say those 4 were very well made and thought of and i have not encountered in Indonesia any slides of this level. Their is a 100kg/person weight restriction. Not sure if this is enforced. A weight balance is present, guess they only ask you to go up it if they doubt??. The Water Park in dubai were i went long time ago did not have these kind of slides either.
You can do the basic water around the park tour (swim or hire a band ,around 25.000 IDR).
Wave pool.
A "flying fox" is available (glide in the sky hanging on a cable over the parc) for those who like this. 70kg max per person ( 2 persons at the same time).
It is not very big although same size or bigger then most Water Parks in Indonesia but time flew and stayed 4 hours. Entrance fee is acceptable, food/drinks are to be bought inside (at reasonable price). Band hire (as in most parcs in indo) is not necessary for the slides itself (cfr. jungle parc). Locker coin can be bought for 20.000 IDR. Perhaps my only negative remark, you can only use the coin once (same as in jungle parc bogor). A re-use would be more enjoyable, if you want to take your money, put on lotion..... . Although most people put their non-valuables/some valuables in a bag on one of the many places to sit/lie down. Left my plastic bag on a table for a few hours, did not move an inch. And when people came to sit there, an attraction coordinator asked if we had any valuables and proposed we put it next to him till after our slides.

Conclusion:
Very enjoyable Water Park. Clean and well maintained. For all ages which adults will certainly enjoy too. The best one i have encountered in Indonesia till now. Hope they will maintain their efforts. If you have time and do not know what to do in jakarta/tangerang/BSD this is a place for you.

One minor remark for improvement: locker re-use system would be recommended. Not sure why they made it this way.

Great spot to stroll around in the afternoon. But considering the facilities and most of them need additional money I think the entry fee per person for IDR 40K is was overprice.
