Loving Anyer Beach : Photos!

3 July 20109 Comments

During our recent trip to Jakarta, we checked out Anyer with Wilson’s family (some two hours drive away from Jakarta).

The three-room cottage we stayed in was plain and simple, but it was a minute walk away from the beach.

And the kids LOVED it.

They played with the sand. They jumped over the waves. They rolled everywhere.

I’m not surprised if they’ve probably swallowed some of the sea water too!

The short getaway from city life, heavy traffic and daily routine was just, nice.

[Info]

ATV is available for rent along the beach. We enjoyed a good drive from one end to another ourselves for just Rp.50,000 (30 mins). And that’s S$7.80!

– You’d find beach-side stalls selling drinks and simple snacks there too.

– Go for a massage while you’re there, I’d say! We did, and it was good and relaxing! Massage ladies usually hang around the beach offering their services (usually women in their 40s-50s) and they only charged us Rp.30,000 per hour! (S$4.60)

    Hi, thank you so much for your reply. Now I am relieved and really looking forward to it!ใ€€:)

    Hi Emy,

    We stayed at the hotel overnight. It’s more like a ‘bungalow’ actually. Two bedrooms and and a little attic on the second floor (where we can have ppl sleeping there too).

    When we first got there, the floor wasn’t quite ‘swept’ clean (some sands around, etc). The staff came to clean the floor for us after we told them about it.

    The overall feel inside the bungalow is ‘simple’. Not dirty, but not ‘super clean’. I guess it’s also difficult to maintain such ‘cleanliness’, being just a minute away from the sandy beach and all.

    Simple breakfast menu (I think we could choose between american breakfast or traditional indonesian fried rice).

    Basically, if you ask me, it was ‘sufficient’ for us (we had 3 small families traveling together at the time), and we liked the close proximity to the beach.

    Hope your stay is enjoyable! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Kalau Ancol kayanya uda lebih sulit utk di ‘enjoy’ ya pantainya. Ya, ke anyer deh, lebih refreshing juga dibanding cuma di Jakarta (yg pasti lebih ke mall2 juga aja)
