Continuing the last week
post about hotels around Lembang, here are some notes on hotels around Bandung
Grand Paradise Hotel

| Pretty awesome isn't it? |

Oh…it was
kinda brand new and huge. I love the mixture between the beauty of nature among
the human-made beauty of art (most of the statues were greatly influenced by
Greek and Romanian goddess – I would say a Renaissance touch )
§
Offers lots of
activities for children, from pony riding to outbound
§
Offers not
only the outdoor-bone-chilling-pool but indoor-hot-natural-sulfur-pool as well
§
The size of
the room is standard but well equipped (I loved the full-body-jets-spray
shower). I loved the details inside the hotel itself (not the grande thing but
more to their attention to details on every aspect inside the hotel)

| The spacious lounge |

§
Non hotel
guest could use the pool as well with a small fee…so it was not quite exclusive
and private
§
Pretty far in
term of location

| Ceiling decoration and many more |

I considered
the location as benefit (I didn’t need to go through the weekend normal traffic
@Pasteur), however, for some people, it might be a disadvantage (since it is
quite far from the city). It is located 1 exit prior Pasteur, the Padalarang
exit, inside the complex of Kota Baru Parahyangan Bandung.
§
Close with
Bale Pare, one stop spot for dining and children entertainment (you could find
3D show, library, outbound, etc here)
§
Close with Puspa Iptek Padalarang,
which is a bit smaller but exhibits various and quite complete
science-related-items. It has big sundial (the biggest in Indonesia
§
Olympic size
pool…yay J
§
During the
school holiday, the hotel offers various activities that can be enjoyed by the
whole family. While during the normal day, you could do some biking, and
selected activities as well
§
It is big and
vast, with lots of greenery view

| The kids' club |
 |
| The olympic size pool |
Minus
§
Ehm…I didn’t
think I have complaint during my stay here…it was quite perfect unless again,
if you intended to spend your whole day in the city, then you need to drive
some distance
 |
| The stony path for reflexology |
 |
| The poolside restaurant |
 |
| Yes...we love green |
 |
| The terrace |
 |
Pluses
§
It was roomy
and spacious. If you come during the low season, you could have the whole villa
to yourself
§
The view was
breath-taking (especially at night with lots of far-away lighting)
§
It is pretty
cold…so my girls could run around without sweating
 |
| The living room |
 |
Minus
§
The location
was quite difficult to reach, zig-zag-ing and uneven road. Not to mention,
there were inadequate information on the road name ( I remembered we have to
stop and ask around few times before reaching the tight place)
§
You gotta
sharpen your driving skill *grinning*
§
Since it is a
villa, so don’t expect responsive staff will be available upon your calling and
of course, no breakfast too. Sometimes, you gotta do it yourself (like filling
the drinking water)
§
Since the
location is not strategic, it was quite difficult to find a restaurant (there
are few restos nearby but pretty pricey, like The Peak)
