Escape to Paradise: Stunning Green Lake Views from Pelangi Rooms!
Escape to Paradise: Pelangi Rooms - A Chaotic Confession of Green Lake Gorgeousness
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because I'm about to spill the tea (and maybe a little bit of coffee, thanks to the coffee/tea maker in the room) on Escape to Paradise: Stunning Green Lake Views from Pelangi Rooms!. This isn't your glossy brochure review, this is the real deal, warts and all, because let's face it, perfection is boring.
First Impressions (Or, How I Almost Missed the Boat - Literally)
So, the name lives up to the hype. "Paradise?" Maybe. "Escape?" Absolutely. But "Stunning Green Lake Views?" Oh. My. Goodness. Okay, I'll admit, I'm a sucker for water. Give me anything reflecting the sky and I'm sold. Pelangi Rooms? They nailed it, especially from the Pool with view. The lake, the light, the… wait for it… the lack of screaming kids (more on that later, thankfully!).
Accessibility, Because Let's Be Real (And Inclusive)
Okay, so I'm not in a wheelchair, but I always pay attention to this. The elevator is a godsend for anyone with mobility issues, or just those of us who've overindulged at the buffet in the restaurant. Not sure about dedicated wheelchair access throughout – you'll want to confirm specifics – but the presence of the elevator is promising. A big thumbs up here, because inclusiveness is what makes the world go round, and it looks like they're trying!
The Rooms: My Tiny, Glorious Sanctuary (And Some Minor Gripes)
My room? Pretty damn good. Air conditioning blasting (essential!), a safe box (always a plus), and a super comfy bed. Plus, the bathtub was calling my name after a day of… well, mostly lazing around. The bathrobes were plush, and the slippers were a nice touch. Small stuff, but it makes a difference. You can open the window that opens too, which is a breath of fresh air, literally.
Now, here’s a tiny gripe. There was a slight… um… musty smell when I first walked in. Like a forgotten sock. It disappeared quickly with the AC on, but it was there. Minor, but noticeable. Let the professional cleansers know!
Cleanliness & Safety (Because We're All a Bit Paranoid Now, Aren't We?)
Okay, Covid. I was actually pretty impressed. Hand sanitizer everywhere. Tables spaced out for physical distancing of at least 1 meter. They had Anti-viral cleaning products, and all the Staff are very well-trained. They really emphasized a Safe dining setup. You can also opt out of Room sanitization, which I really liked. They also had Daily disinfection in common areas, and seemed really careful. So, yeah, the paranoia was kept at bay, for the most part.
Food, Glorious Food (And Some Slightly Less Glorious Moments)
Breakfast. Buffet in restaurant. Okay, let’s be honest, I went wild. The Asian breakfast was a delightful surprise, but I’m a sucker for a good Western spread, too. All the usual suspects were there, and it kept me full and happy for a solid chunk of the day. The coffee shop was decent, and the snacks were easy to grab for when you're out and about. I didn't get the chance to sample the Vegetarian restaurant or Asian cuisine in restaurant, next time for sure.
One quibble? The eggs, sometimes, were a bit… rubbery. Minor, I know, I'm being picky, but even a small imperfection can ruin a moment, after all!
Things To Do (Or, How I Learned to Do Absolutely Nothing)
The swimming pool [outdoor] deserves its own paragraph. Seriously. The view overlooking Green Lake? Sublime. I spent a solid afternoon there, basking in the sun and pretending I was in a shampoo commercial. (Don’t judge me!). There's a poolside bar, which I used liberally (I was on vacation, okay?). I also managed to squeeze in the sauna (ahhh, pure bliss!) and the gym/fitness center… which I glanced at before firmly deciding I was on holiday.
Seriously, though, this pool. It's the main event. It's where I spent every afternoon, and where every worry just… vanished. That's the escape part, right there. And the Spa? I didn't try, but I wish I did. Next time, people, next time.
Services & Conveniences: The Little Things That Make a Difference
24-hour room service? Yes, please! The daily housekeeping was impeccable, which is always appreciated. The concierge was helpful, the luggage storage was secure, and the car park [free of charge] was another win. I did not deal with the Car I bought for the trip because I love taxis and the taxi service was pretty darn good!. A definite plus. They also have Invoice provided if needed.
Getting Around (And Avoiding the Tourists)
The airport transfer was smooth, which is a lifesaver after a long flight. Finding the hotel was easy since they were very clear on how to use Getting around. Be warned, though, the area is popular, so you might encounter a few (or many) other tourists!
For the Kids (Because I Am Not a Kid, But I Saw Them)
They have Babysitting service and a Kids meal. Also, there’s a Family/child friendly environment. I saw some happy kids building sandcastles and running around.
The Weird and Wonderful (The Bits They Don't Put in the Brochures)
- Proposal spot? Didn’t notice one, but I'm sure if you asked nicely…
- Shrine? Not sure why I expected one, but I did.
- Happy hour? Yes. Need I say more?
- Soundproof rooms? Mostly. But you do hear the occasional car. It's not a big deal.
The Emotional Truth Bomb: Would I Go Back?
Hell yeah. Imperfections aside, Escape to Paradise is pretty darn close to paradise. The views, the pool, the general vibe of relaxation… It’s a place where you can truly escape the everyday grind. The staff are awesome, the location is amazing, and the memories? Priceless.
My Absolute Favorite Moment:
There's this spot, right by the pool. It's got a perfect view of the lake. I sat there, watching the sunset, beer in hand. I swear, all my worries just… poof! Gone. That feeling? That's the real escape. That's why you book.
Final Verdict: Highly Recommended. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to book my next trip…

Escape to Paradise: Hotel Primavera's Bento Gonçalves Bliss
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your sterile "travel itinerary." This is a frantic, probably slightly inaccurate, and definitely opinionated account of my potential (and utterly chaotic) trip to RedLiving Apartemen Green Lake View Ciputat - Pelangi Rooms 1 Tower E in Tangerang, Indonesia. Think less perfectly curated Instagram feed, more "what in the actual hell am I doing?"
Day 1: Arrival… or Attempted Arrival? (aka The Great Airport Debacle)
- Morning (ish): Leave the house. Or, more accurately, attempt to leave the house. This involves a frantic search for my passport (always hidden in the "safe place" - which is, of course, never safe), a screaming match with the coffee machine, and a near-miss involving a rogue suitcase and the cat.
- Mid-Morning: Arrive at the airport. Hopefully. Pray to the travel gods this time (they’ve been mostly ignoring me lately). The airport, as always, is a swirling vortex of anxiety and questionable fashion choices. My flight gets delayed. Sigh. This is already not going well. I grab a greasy, overpriced breakfast and people-watch. (This is where the good notes come from.) The sheer variety of humanity on display is fascinating. One man looks like he's brought his entire life savings (including a small, suspicious-looking duffel bag). A woman is wearing a sequined jumpsuit at 7 am. I am both envious and bewildered.
- Afternoon: Board the plane. Survive the flight. Try not to break the airline protocol (but no guarantees!). Land in Jakarta. The humidity hits me like a warm, slightly smothering hug. Get through customs – hopefully without revealing my deep-seated fear of authority figures. Find the transport to the apartment. The first taxi driver tries to rip me off, naturally. Negotiate. Bargain. Swear softly under my breath.
- Late Afternoon/Early Evening: Arrive at RedLiving Apartemen Green Lake View Ciputat. Finally. Check in and pray the room isn't a total disaster. (Remember that time I stayed in a hotel that smelled faintly of mildew and despair? Traumatic.) Hopefully, the "Pelangi Rooms 1 Tower E" part isn't as confusing as it sounds. Unpack, collapse, and start questioning every life choice that led me to this moment. But the view is nice, or hopefully, it will be, if there is a view at all. A quick check of the local food delivery apps. A quick prayer for wifi.
Day 2: Tangerang Tango (and the Quest for Decent Indonesian Coffee)
- Morning: Wake up (or, more realistically, stumble out of bed). Drink a large amount of water after the plane drink and the jetlag. Attempt to make a cup of coffee. This is crucial. The local coffee is my first mission. (If it's anything like the stuff I've had before, I'll be in trouble.)
- Mid-morning: Explore the local area around the apartment. Get lost. (Guaranteed). Embrace the chaos. Take photos of everything that catches my eye from daily life for moments, to street art, to the sheer absurdity of Indonesian traffic. Observe the locals. Try to understand their way of life.
- Afternoon: Figure out transportation. (This is where things can get really interesting. Is the local public transport a viable option? Do you trust the motorbike taxis? The answer to both is probably "yes, but with trepidation.") Visit a local market (or a shopping mall, depending on my mood). Buy something I don't need, probably. Get completely overwhelmed by the sheer variety of… everything.
- Evening: Find a restaurant. Or, more likely, wander aimlessly until hunger forces me to stop anywhere. Try to order something authentic. Probably mess it up. End up loving it anyway. Or, desperately, search for a decent pizza. This could be the biggest mistake, but what the hell.
Day 3: Deep Dive into (Potential) Disaster: The Food, the People, and… The Market!
- Morning: This is the day. The day I confront the full sensory overload of an Indonesian market. I'm talking, mountains of exotic fruits, the smell of spices that makes you sneeze violently, and possibly the unsettling stare of a chicken.
- Mid-Morning: I'M GOING BACK TO THE MARKET. I loved it. I'm going back again with a mission. The mission: to learn how to eat this. I'll befriend a local vendor. They will teach to select the best fruits, and I will try to get them to recommend restaurants or other foods. I'm buying some of the most beautiful, weird-looking fruit that I'm terrified to eat, but I'm also excited. The textures! The colors! The overwhelming, beautiful strangeness of it all! (This is where it gets messy.)
- Afternoon: I've got a bit of a "tummy." I'll try not to think about it. Find a local coffee shop, the best around. Then, I'll just enjoy the people-watching. The way locals interact? The way they dress? The sounds and smells of the city!
- Evening: A cooking class. If I can find one. Otherwise, I am doomed to repeat the chaos of my previous meals. This is my last chance to learn. I'd want to make all this stuff I learned earlier!
Day 4: Back to the Grind (and the Glorious Uncertainty of the Last Day)
- Morning: Last day. UGH. Say goodbye to Tangerang. Reflect on all I've seen, learned, and eaten.
- Afternoon: Depending on the flight schedule, there'll be more exploring, souvenir hunting, or just a general state of nervous anticipation for the trip home.
- Evening: Head back to the airport. Hopefully with less luggage than I started with. Flight home. Arrive. Collapse into my own bed, smelling faintly of adventure and possibly overripe fruit.
Day 5: Back to Reality (and Planning the Next Escape)
- Morning: Wake up. The jetlag will be brutal.
- Afternoon: Start planning the next travel escapade, because I'm officially addicted. Where to next? It’s almost as important as the passport is.
Important Considerations (and Imperfections):
- Pace: This itinerary is a suggestion. I'm notoriously bad at sticking to plans. Expect massive deviations. Expect meltdowns. Expect moments of pure, unadulterated joy.
- Food: My stomach is a brave soldier but prone to mutiny.
- Language: I speak approximately zero Indonesian. This will be a challenge, but also a hilarious experience.
- Emotions: This trip will be a rollercoaster. Expect moments of awe, frustration, laughter, and probably at least one instance of me crying in a public place.
- Perfection? Absolutely not. Embrace the messy, the unexpected, and the utter gloriousness of it all.
- Finally: I hope the apartment has good air conditioning because I'm going to need it after all of this!
So there you have it. Possibly the least helpful, most honest, and certainly the most chaotic "itinerary" you'll ever read. Wish me luck. I'm going to need it.
Siargao's BEST Queen Bed Getaway: Room #3 Awaits!
So, what *exactly* is this supposed to be about? I'm lost already.
Okay, okay, settle down, drama queen. It's about...everything. Or, at least, it *feels* like everything right now. Look, I've got a million thoughts rattling around in my skull, and this is my attempt to... I don't know... *organize* them? Maybe? Probably not. Mostly, I'm just hoping to get it all out before my brain explodes. So, questions about life, the universe, and that weird stain on my kitchen ceiling. All fair game. Deal with it.
Am I supposed to understand this? Because uh... I don't.
Understand? Honey, if *I* understood it, the world would probably implode from sheer orderliness. The whole point is the glorious, chaotic mess of it all. Don't worry about understanding. Just roll with it. Like trying to parallel park in a hurricane. Possible? Maybe. Fun? Absolutely. (Unless you're the car next to mine, in which case, I apologize in advance. My skills are... developing.)
Why are you so... opinionated? And weird?
Opinionated? Guilty as charged. Weird? Probably. Look, I'm a person, not a beige wall. I have feelings! I have preferences! I have a profound and abiding love for cheese. And also, I'm fairly certain my brain is wired differently than most. Maybe it's the three too many cups of coffee I had this morning. Or maybe I've just seen too much bad reality TV. Who knows? Either way, get used to it. Consider it character development. (Or a warning. Your call.)
Okay, fine. But what about, like, *actual* advice? You know, practical stuff?
Practical? That's a loaded question. Let's be honest, half the time I trip over my own feet. But alright, alright, I'll give you some "advice." Mostly just things I've learned the hard way (usually involving spilled coffee, questionable decisions, and the crushing weight of existential dread) :
- On Relationships: Communicate. Then communicate some more. Then communicate again, even when you *really* don't feel like it. Because silence is the enemy. Trust me, I learned that the hard way with my ex-boyfriend. Turns out, "I'm fine" does *not* mean "I'm fine." It means "I'm about to explode."
- On Work: Take breaks! Seriously! I used to work myself ragged and crash and burn. Now, I get up every hour or so, get a glass of water, and stare out the window and contemplate the meaninglessness of it all. It's very productive. (Maybe... don't tell my boss that.)
- On Making Friends: Be yourself. Even the weird, messy parts. Because the right people will love you *because* of them, not in spite of them. I met my best friend while crying in a public bathroom (don't ask) and now we're practically attached at the hip.
- On Money: Save a little. Seriously. Because adulting is expensive, and ramen gets old *fast*.
What are your hobbies?
Oh, hobbies. Well, let's see... I love reading (especially trashy romance novels, don't judge!), binging true crime documentaries (I swear, it's research!), and baking. Although, I’m not the greatest baker. Sometimes, my cakes… explode. Literally and figuratively. I once tried to make a soufflé. The kitchen looked like a crime scene. Flour everywhere, the smell of burnt sugar… It was a disaster. But hey, at least I can laugh about it now! (And no, I haven't given up. I'm a glutton for punishment, what can I say?)
Ever had a truly embarrassing moment? Spill the tea!
Embarrassing? Oh, honey, I’ve practically monetized embarrassment. The greatest of them all? Let me tell you. I was at a fancy gala, this black-tie affair, all the important people milling about. I was wearing a dress I *thought* looked fabulous. (Looking back it looked like a slightly-too-tight, glittery sack). Anyway, I was attempting to be sophisticated and hold a glass of champagne while making polite conversation with a Very Important Investor.
Mid-sentence, I felt a tickle in my nose. Before I could do anything, BAM! Sneezed. Right. In. His. Face. Champagne and ALL. It was a spectacular, explosive, nose-hair-filled sneeze. The Investor recoiled. The champagne glass flew out of my hand, shattering on the marble floor. Silence. Then someone gasped. Then, of course, everyone started laughing (mostly at me). I wanted the earth to swallow me whole. Mortified? You have no idea. I'm pretty sure I mumbled an apology, grabbed my bag (which I also fumbled) and ran out. I hid in the bathroom for a solid 20 minutes, contemplating a new life as a hermit. The next day, I got an email from his assistant. I was fired. (Okay, not directly related to the sneeze, but still...). Anyway, it taught me two valuable lessons: 1. Always carry tissues. 2. Never trust a dress you can't comfortably breathe in.
Okay, you've got me curious! What are you actually *doing* with this page?
Honestly? I have NO idea. Maybe it's to stop my brain from feeling like a pressure cooker. Maybe it’s because I’m bored. Maybe I secretly dream of being a wildly successful advice guru, dispensing wisdom while simultaneously spilling coffee on my keyboard. Realistically? It's probably just an elaborate procrastination tactic. But hey, if someone, *anyone*, finds this even remotely entertaining, then it's a win. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with a bag of chips and the profound realization that I need to do laundry.
Final thoughts?
Look, life is messy. It's imperfect. It's often hilarious. It's occasionally agonizing. But it’s yours. Don't be afraid to be yourself, even the parts you're not so proud of. Embrace the chaos. Wear the sparkly dress. And always, *always*, have extra tissues. And maybe, just maybe, remember to wash your dishes every once in a while.. I know I don't.
