marianne's travel recommendations

The Samudra Beach Hotel is about 4 hours from Jakarta by car. It is very good price / quality especially when compared with similar hotels in Europe or US. Room 308 is kept open for Nyai Loro Kidul, Queen of the South Seas. Ask reception if you want to see this room. AC rooms with balcony, most of them with sea view, satellite TV and phone. Swimming pool, tennis and mini-golf, coffee shop and 24-hour room service and a karaoke bar for the guests to enjoy. Indonesian, Chinese and western cuisine in the Raos restaurant. Fresh fish is served in the Seafood Grill Hut on the sea front. Soft gamelan music in the lobby welcomes the guests. The hotel is right ion the beach, overlooking the rugged bay of Pelabuhanratu, which enables you to swim right in front of the hotel. But be careful as the ocean has strong under currents. It is rarely fully booked, not even at the weekend or public holidays.
