I
stayed
here
with
my
family
and
husband
in
October
2018
for
5
nights.
My
parents
and
brothers
stayed
in
the
villa
(which
was
lovely,
with
a
nice
private
garden,
pagoda
and
porch
in
the
back)
and
my
husband
and
I
were
in
one
of
their
hotel
rooms
(they
are
rather
small,
but
otherwise
just
fine).
The
resort
is
perched
up
on
a
hill
away
from
the
craziness
and
chaos
that
is
Yogyakarta,
with
wonderful
unobstructed
views
of
Mt.
Merapi
and
the
Prambanan
temples.
The
resort
is
in
a
lovely
peaceful
setting
(except
for
the
Mosque
prayer
calls
at
4:00am
each
morning
from
nearby
villages,
if
you
are
a
light
sleeper
like
myself
then
it
might
be
a
problem,
bring
a
good
pair
of
ear
plugs
and
maybe
if
you’re
ok
with
sleeping
with
a
pair
noise
cancelling
headphones
would
help).
The
staff
was
wonderful,
especially
at
breakfast,
the
one
lady
(Fitri
I
believe)
who
paid
special
attention
to
us
every
morning
went
above
and
beyond.
She
was
very
sweet,
polite
and
pleasant.
Each
morning
she
would
ask
us
what
we
would
like
to
have
for
breakfast
the
following
day
and
it
was
always
a
delicious
feast
of
Indonesian
fare.
Must
try
the
famous
Yogya
Gudeg
meal
served
with
opor
ayam
and
tempeh
bacem,
they
cooked
it
up
at
the
resort
for
us
and
it
didn’t
disappoint!
My
husband’s
favorite
was
the
black
pepper
beef
and
the
fresh
squeezed
orange
juice
(Indonesian
oranges
are
different
than
the
American
kind,
he
now
wishes
he
could
drink
it
every
day).
My
brothers
liked
the
mie
and
nasi
goreng
with
kampung
chicken,
parents
liked
the
bakso.
We
liked
the
crispy
fried
mushrooms
too
and
all
the
fresh
squeezed/blended
juices
&
smoothies
(mango,
guava,
watermelon,
avocado,
pineapple).
There
was
always
a
cook
to
order
egg
station,
coffee,
fragrant
Javanese
tea,
pastries,
bread
and
cereal
as
well.
All
of
it
was
such
a
treat!
We
felt
like
royalty!
I
can't
say
it
enough,
but
all
of
the
staff
were
just
wonderful.
The
Javanese
are
known
for
their
incredible
hospitality,
which
is
exactly
what
we
got
at
Sumberwatu.
We
were
given
afternoon
tea/coffee,
cakes,
spring
rolls
and
treats
everyday
complimentary,
as
well
as
welcome
treats
and
cookies
that
my
husband
and
I
were
addicted
to.
We
booked
their
driver
and
car
everyday
which
was
very
convenient
and
we
also
took
bikes
(which
we
ended
up
walking,
the
bikes
were
heavy
and
it’s
better
to
just
walk
there
as
it’s
up
some
steep
hills,
but
only
about
a
half
mile
from
the
hotel)
through
a
quaint
little
hill
top
village
to
get
to
the
back
entrance
of
Ratu
Boko
palace/monastery
archaeological
site
which
we
had
to
ourselves
for
a
good
hour
and
half,
until
we
went
up
to
the
main
entrance
gate
which
is
where
most
people
seemed
to
hang
around.
The
pool
area
at
the
hotel
was
a
nice
little
spot
for
an
afternoon
swim
to
cool
down
from
the
heat,
or
nap
on
the
loungers.
The
traffic
is
insane
in
Yogya,
so
be
prepared
to
sit
in
the
car
a
lot
when
getting
to
and
from
the
city
and
surrounding
temple
sites
(bring
drinks
and
snacks).
It
was
always
nice
to
come
back
to
the
resort
away
from
the
crowds
and
madness.
The
restaurant
at
the
hotel
was
busy
every
night,
especially
on
the
weekends,
sometimes
they
had
entertainment
and
a
buffet.
We
didn't
take
advantage
of
the
complimentary
Javanese
archery
instruction,
as
we
just
ran
out
of
time.
Having
airport
transportation
to
and
from
the
resort
was
very
handy
as
well.
They
even
packed
us
breakfast
to
go
(hot
or
cold,
with
fresh
fruit
and
bottled
water),
since
we
had
an
early
flight
that
was
very
convenient!
