Luxury 2BR Akasa Pure Living BSD: Your Dream Tangerang Escape Awaits!
Luxury 2BR Akasa Pure Living BSD: My Tangerang Escape (and Maybe Yours!) - A Brutally Honest Review
Okay, buckle up, because I'm about to unleash a review of Luxury 2BR Akasa Pure Living BSD that's less polished travel brochure and more "real-life experience meets chaotic thoughts." Forget stiff prose, this is me, unfiltered, and a bit sleep-deprived after a ridiculously comfortable night.
First Impressions: It's a… Place. (Let's be real, that's how it starts, right?)
My initial thought wasn't "Oh, the sheer elegance!" or "Behold, paradise!" It was more like, "Alright, this is… nice. Clean. And not a single rogue sock in sight. Bonus points for that, Akasa!" The lobby is modern, thankfully air-conditioned (crucial in Tangerang), and the staff are genuinely friendly. I’m talking smiles, not just robot-like greetings. That counts!
Accessibility: Navigating the Labyrinth (with a Smile!)
Now, I'm not in a wheelchair myself (phew!), but I do appreciate a well-thought-out accessible space. And honestly? Akasa Pure Living shines here. The elevator is a beast. Huge, with plenty of room for the 'gram and/or a wheelchair. Everything feels built with space and ease in mind. No tiny, claustrophobic hallways here! Kudos, Akasa, for thinking of everyone.
Rooms: My Sanctuary of Snuggles (and Wi-Fi!)
The 2BR is the way to go. Spacious, modern, and that view! I specifically requested a high floor and got it. Seriously, seeing Tangerang sprawl out below me was… well, it was pretty darn cool. I'm a sucker for blackout curtains, and these were phenomenal. You could sleep through a hurricane. The bed? Oh, the bed! If I could marry a mattress, I would marry that one. Extra long, soft sheets, all that jazz.
And the Wi-Fi? Solid. Thank goodness. Gotta stay connected in this day and age, right? Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! It was fast, reliable, and I could finally, finally, get my work done. Of course, there’s also the LAN, which, honestly, I didn't touch, but it's there! They thought of everything.
(Side note: The bathroom phone? I admit, I was intrigued. Did I use it? No. Did I consider it? Absolutely. The power of a hotel bathroom phone remains a mystery to me.)
Cleanliness and Safety: Sanitized! Sanitized! Sanitized! (But, you know…relax)
Look, COVID threw everything into chaos, and Akasa Pure Living clearly takes safety seriously. The entire place screams "Hygiene!" Hand sanitizer everywhere (bless!), staff training, and rooms sanitized between stays. They even offer the option to opt-out from room sanitization, which I found refreshing. Makes you feel like you're actually in charge. Daily disinfection? Check. Anti-viral cleaning products? Check. Safe dining setup? Check, check, check!
I felt safe, but I also didn’t feel overwhelmed by protocols. You could tell they were doing everything they could to keep you safe without feeling like you were in a biohazard zone.
Things to Do (For My Lazy Soul):
Okay, I'm not exactly a go-getter on vacation. I’m more of a "lounge by the pool with a good book" kind of gal. And Akasa delivered on the pool front. The Pool with a View is as advertised. Absolutely stunning. I spent a solid afternoon there, sipping drinks (more on that later) and just… chilling. No guilt, all relaxation.
They also have a fitness center, a spa, and the works. Did I use them? Haha, no. I’m on vacation, people! But they're there, and if you're into that sort of thing, you're set. Maybe next time I’ll try that sauna everyone raves about.
Dining: Food, Glorious Food (and My Slightly Sarcastic Commentary)
Okay, the food. Let’s get real. The restaurants are good. No, make that pretty darn good. Breakfast Buffet? Yes, please. A mix of Western and Asian options, including…wait for it…Asian breakfast! (Okay, maybe I did venture outside my comfort zone.) Coffee? Plentiful. Desserts? Dangerous. I may have gotten a little carried away with those.
The poolside bar? Heaven. Happy hour? Even better. They offer a solid bar selection. The poolside bar? Perfect for cocktails and snacks, the perfect place to unwind. Room service? 24/7? God bless. Especially when jet lag hits and your stomach starts growling at 3 AM.
Anecdote Time: I devoured the "A la carte in restaurant" menu. I had the Asian Cuisine. Delicious dumplings.
Services and Conveniences: They Thought of EVERYTHING (Almost)
Concierge? Excellent. Helpful, friendly, and they spoke fluent English (a lifesaver!). Laundry service? Essential. The Ironing service and essential condiments. The facility offered convenient necessities. Car park, essential condiments, and free Wifi. Cash withdrawal? Yes. A convenience store? Yup!
The only tiny, tiny downside? I couldn't find the pets allowed.
The Verdict: Book It, Already! (Unless You Hate Actually Enjoying Yourself)
Look, Luxury 2BR Akasa Pure Living BSD isn't perfect. No place is. But it's damn close. It's stylish, comfortable, safe, and it caters to both the active traveler and the lazy bum (that's me!).
Here's the deal: Akasa Pure Living is a solid choice if you're heading to Tangerang. It's got everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
But here’s the kicker:

Turkey's Fiery HOTELS: Unbelievable Pazar Deals You WON'T Believe!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously color-coded itinerary. This is ME, unleashed, loose, and about to embark on a whirlwind (hopefully not literally) trip to Tangerang, Indonesia, armed with a furnished 2BR at Akasa Pure Living BSD By Travelio. Get ready for a glorious mess.
Day 1: Arrival and the Glorious Question of "Where's the Toilet Paper?"
10:00 AM: Arrival at Soekarno-Hatta International (CGK) - Oh, the joy! After enduring a slightly too long flight (where I swear that crying baby was specifically targeting my sanity levels), I'm finally on Indonesian soil! Customs? A blur of smiling faces and trying not to accidentally call the very nice officer "Sir."
11:30 AM: Grab - Okay, I'm using Grab, which, let's be honest, is probably the only reason I’m not lost and crying already. Finding my driver and navigating the chaotic airport exit is already a minor victory. I'm mentally preparing myself for the legendary Indonesian traffic - wish me luck, I will need it.
1:00 PM: Check-in at Akasa Pure Living BSD - The apartment, it's so… shiny! Okay, the photos lied a little and it's a bit more "lived-in" than "perfectly staged Instagram photo shoot," but hey, it's got air conditioning and a bed (crucial!). First order of business? Finding the light switch (because, you know, jet lag). Second order of business? The epic toilet paper hunt. Seriously, how is it that the most essential item is ALWAYS the hardest to find? Found it! I’m a winner!
2:00 PM: Lunch - I’m starving! Quick wander around the area, and I stumble upon a warung (local eatery). The aroma of frying things and spices washes over me. Taking a gamble and ordering something I can’t pronounce. It's delightfully spicy! I think I might have accidentally ordered the "extra chili" version, but hey, it's an experience!
3:00 PM: The "Chill Zone" – The dreaded jet lag is kicking in. I collapsed on the comfy sofa, and despite my best intentions to "be productive", I'm battling the urge to sleep. I'm going to fight it! Maybe.
5:00 PM: Exploring the neighborhood - After the nap that I didn't want, I decide to stretch my legs and see what surrounds me. I discover a small park, but it's so hot, it's more like a brisk walk of survival. I did see a very funny cat chilling in a tree.
7:00 PM: Dinner - Tonight, It's Nasi Goreng, the ultimate comfort food (and a good way to hide my culinary ineptitude). I can't get enough of this amazing culture yet.
9:00 PM: Early to bed, or at least, try to - Jet lag is a cruel mistress. I'm exhausted but my brain is trying to pull an all-nighter. Hoping I'll drift off soon.
Day 2: BSD City, Mall Madness, and A Spiritual Awakening (Maybe!)
9:00 AM: Breakfast - I'm going to attempt making coffee in the apartment. Wish me luck! A small adventure. I'm attempting to feel somewhat civilized and tackle the day ahead.
10:00 AM: BSD City exploration - Ah, the sprawling urban landscape of BSD! I decide to go to the mall. It is enormous (and thankfully air-conditioned). Shopping is not my thing but I need some essentials. I mean, I'd give anything for a decent pair of walking shoes.
12:00 PM: Lunch - Mall food! It's generally a gamble, but I'm going for the "safe option" - something vaguely familiar. I’m going to take the plunge, and try a food that I'm not sure of…
1:00 PM: "Shopping Therapy" (or just wandering aimlessly) - Okay, full confession: I’m terrible at shopping. I window-shop the same places and I try to not impulse-buy EVERYTHING. I am trying to find some local souvenirs; I need my fix.
3:00 PM: The "Spiritual" Quest (or, trying to find a quiet spot) - I'm attempting to find a moment of peace. Maybe a temple? This country is filled with so much history.
5:00 PM: Coffee Break and People-Watching - Sipping an iced coffee, and just watching the world go by. Indonesians are friendly and welcoming, and I'm enjoying the vibrant atmosphere.
7:00 PM: Dinner - Trying a recommended local restaurant. Hopefully my "food adventures" will be a success.
9:00 PM: Relax, Recover, and Ready for Day 3 - This is a nice place.
Day 3: Culinary Chaos and Goodbye
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast - The coffee adventure continues! More or less successful.
- 10:00 AM: The Cooking Class Fiasco - I signed up for a cooking class. BIG MISTAKE. I'm fairly awful in the kitchen. We're making something called "Gado-Gado," which sounds lovely in theory. In practice, it's me chopping things haphazardly, possibly setting off the smoke alarm, and burning the sauce. The instructor is incredibly patient. I'm pretty sure she's judging me, but hey, at least the (slightly charred) food tastes amazing at the end!
- 1.00 PM: Lunch - I eat my Gado-Gado!
- 2:00 PM: Souvenir Shopping (again) - Feeling a bit more confident (and desperate) in my souvenir quest, I'm heading to the local market. Bargaining is a must, which is always an awkward but fun dance of smiles and pretending to be a tough negotiator.
- 4:00 PM: Relax and Pack - I've got to face the inevitable: packing up my life and getting ready to leave.
- 6:00 PM: Farewell Dinner - A final, delicious Indonesian dinner. I'm going for something truly spectacular, something I haven't tried yet.
- 8:00 PM: Final Checks- Make sure all the lights are off (hopefully), and I clean my mess!
- 10:00 PM: Departure - I'm tired, my suitcase is probably overweight with strange souvenirs, and my stomach feels like it is on a roller coaster. I'll miss the heat, the food, and the sheer energy of this place. Until next time, Tangerang!
Important Notes and Ramble-y Thoughts:
- This itinerary is highly subject to change based on my mood, local traffic, and how much caffeine I've had.
- I'm probably going to get lost at least twice.
- Don't expect any Michelin-star dining experiences, but expect a whole lot of heart and a questionable amount of skill in the kitchen (me!).
- I’ll be documenting my adventures, but consider yourself warned, the results will possibly be unpredictable.
- I’m expecting the trip of a lifetime. I'm ready for a trip.
- I hope I can leave my mark!
So, there you have it. My chaotic, unfiltered, and probably slightly inaccurate guide to my Tangerang adventure. Wish me luck, and pray for my sanity!

Luxury 2BR Akasa Pure Living BSD: Your Dream Tangerang Escape? (Let's See!)
Okay, spill the beans! What *is* Akasa Pure Living BSD, and why should I care?
Alright, alright! Picture this: a supposed "luxury" condo in BSD City, Tangerang. Akasa Pure Living. They're selling the dream – sleek modern design, stunning views, the whole nine yards. Basically, they promise you a life where you wake up feeling like you're starring in your own Indonesian version of 'Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous'.
But *should* you care? Well, if you're tired of the Jakarta chaos, or maybe just want a weekend escape from… life… then yeah, maybe. If you're easily impressed by shiny things and promises of relaxation, then yes indeed! If you're a broke college student, probably not. (Unless you're secretly a crypto millionaire. You never know!) Frankly, I was curious because I'd been dreaming of a place to chill away from the mayhem.
The 2BR – Is it actually big enough for two people and a mountain of luggage… and sanity?
Two bedrooms, huh? Sounds spacious on paper. And, well, it *is* bigger than my current apartment (a glorified shoebox). I'd say, *yes*, it's big enough for two people to co-exist without immediate murderous intent… for about 80% of the time. The other 20%? Well, that depends on your partner's tolerance for your questionable karaoke choices at 3 AM.
Luggage? Ha! My wife and I packed for a *week* and ended up with enough stuff to colonize Mars. The master bedroom has decent closet space, thank god. The other room? Let's just say it was more "storage unit" initially. But sanity? That's the real test. My sanity survived. Barely.
Okay, the views. What’s the real deal? Sunrise? Sunset? Or just... other buildings?
Views, baby! This is where they try to hook you. They *claim* "panoramic views" in the brochure. I'm not going to lie; they're pretty damn good. We got a good view (or at least I THINK it was good, I was too busy staring at my coffee cup half the time). Sunrise was a glorious orange-y affair, definitely worthy of an Instagram post (I confess). Sunset? Equally stunning, especially with a glass of wine in hand.
However… the "other buildings" thing is a valid concern. Depending on your unit, you might be staring straight into your neighbor's living room. So, ask for specifics when you're booking. And maybe invest in some good blinds.
The Amenities: Pool, Gym, Karaoke Room (hopefully!). Are they as amazing as the pictures suggest?
Ah, the amenities! This is where the "luxury" gets tested. The *pool*? It was beautiful. Crystal clear. You could actually swim laps without bumping into twenty other people. Big plus! The *gym*? Well-equipped, but I'm a gym-averse kind of guy. I went once, felt inadequate, and retreated to the sofa to watch TV.
The *karaoke room*… now that's where the magic happened. They DID have one! (Hallelujah!). And it was actually decent. The sound system wasn't perfect – let's just say my rendition of "Bohemian Rhapsody" sounded more like a strangled cat than Freddie Mercury, but hey, nobody could hear the neighbors.
Word of warning: The pictures always lie. Never assume. Always visit it personally before renting/buying!
Let's talk about location. BSD City – is it convenient or a massive traffic nightmare?
BSD City... that's the other big question. Convenience is the name of the game, right? Well, it *is* convenient, in a very specific, almost-too-perfect kind of way. Everything you need is *there*. Malls, restaurants, supermarkets, the whole shebang. No need to venture into the Jakarta jungle if you didn't want to.
Traffic? Ugh. It's Tangerang. Traffic is always lurking. While BSD is generally better than Jakarta's worst, be prepared for the occasional standstill, especially during peak hours. Plan your trips accordingly. Alternatively, embrace the stay-at-home life. It's what I did most of the time. And I was fine with it!
The Price Tag: Is it worth the money? (Be honest!)
Alright, the money question. Here's the brutal truth: It ain't cheap. "Luxury" comes at a price, and Akasa Pure Living is no exception. Is it "worth it"? That depends on your financial situation and your definition of "luxury". I can't really tell you. For me, it definitely made my wallet lighter.
If you're looking for a cheap getaway, look elsewhere. If you're willing to splurge a little for a comfortable, stylish space with good amenities, and a chance to escape the daily grind, then maybe. But seriously, before you commit, crunch those numbers. Consider your budget and your priorities. It's your money, after all.
The Little Annoyances That No One Tells You About? Spill the tea!
Okay, here’s the real dirt. The things the salespeople conveniently forget to mention. First, the elevators. Sometimes they take forever. I can't remember how many times I missed my scheduled activities. One time I *seriously* considered taking the stairs (I live on the 20th floor). But I'm lazy.
Second... the internet. It wasn't always super-reliable (especially during prime Netflix-binging hours). Third, and this is minor, but... the water pressure in the showers wasn't *amazing*. I like a good, strong shower. Minor quibble. But still! And finally, the noise from the construction down the road. It wasn't constant, but it was there. So, you know, bring earplugs.
Would you go back? And what's your overall verdict?
Would I go back? Hmm… Probably. I have to. The wife said she wants to go back. I'm always out-voted. I mean, it was a nice place to disconnect from the world, to relax, and to pretend I'm fancy for a few days. And the karaoke roomChicstayst
