It was a much needed rest.
Ketapang Indah Hotel perfected it.
(To a point I was confuse, should I take a rest and enjoy the room (and
bed) or should I take a stroll at the premise, enjoying the deep blue ocean,
the lush greenery and the Ketapang Indah warm hospitality).
Either you have or you don’t.
That’s what I usually say when I stay at a hotel. I have certain
expectation and I categorise Ketapang Indah Hotel as one of the best in
Banyuwangi.
It is located by the sea. The deep blue see (kid you not), with its
vegetation comprising mostly coconut trees and local wild flowers balances well
as with the buildings architecture. Keeping their buildings low thus underpowering
its presence and structure, calms the inhouse guest, maintaining the holiday
mood and the Javanese feel. Decorate in minimalist style, its room is overlooked
at god’s backyard of lush greenery and blue ocean partnered with the sound of
waves crashing, all this are music to guests’ ears. A definite plus point.
Most room are presented with balcony for one to laze around, perfect
for travellers that just got back from the hot and dry Baluran Savannah and the
cold Kawah Ijen. Not to mention their kind and friendly hotel staff, plus the generous
local food spread help to educate the international guest on local delicacies
available in Banyuwangi, Java and Bali.
Six hectares of land, beautiful black sandy beach coupled with welcoming
sunrise views over the Bali Strait makes Ketapang Indah Hotel unique. Just 88
kilometres from the hotel is Plengkung or G-Land; a world-class surfing beach within
the Alas Purwo National Park. It is not a surprise, if you bump into surfers
staying here.
Pool and playground is located near the open concept coffee house and
it is just by the beach which is kinda splendid, I personally regreted not
joining everyone for a walk by the jetty and beach. They took great pictures
there (but then again, they seems to take nice picture regardless of the site).
The ambience, locality and premise aside, in general the check-in was
fast and the luggage was brought to our room promptly too. However, I wouldn’t
suggest for you to volunteer yourself to carry own luggage as the rooms are
widely spread across the premise. But if you trust your ‘sado-ness’ and want to
show off your ‘macho-ness’, go right ahead. Oh yah… I was a little bit confuse
when heading to my room, after few wrong turn, I managed to handle it well even
at night. So yah, it is pretty widely spread.
If you need and seek for great comfort when in Banyuwangi, let it be if you plan to conquer Kawah Ijen or drop by the savannah or any one of the national parks, do consider Ketapang Indah Hotel as the journey takes approximately 1.5 hours (38.2 km) to Baluran National park and 2 hours (54.0 km) to Kawah Ijen.
What more can I say.
