If you want a visit to Borobudur temple, this is one of the nicest and most convenient places to stay, We were literally walking distance to the temple and you can be spared the hassle of travelling — after you arrive you will understand that even a short distance may still take some time to arrive.
Beyond the temple, this hotel was a peaceful oasis away from the maddening crowd. The serenity of this resort with the 18 private villas ensures that it is different from the busy world beyond the walls. The hotel also boasts a 3-storey viewing floor to watch the sunrise and sunset which is really pretty at this time of the year.
There was also a spa where my wife enjoyed a daily massage which she thoroughly enjoyed. We didn't get a private pool villa but you probably don't need to do so as the main pool was always quiet for our personal use.
Breakfast was included in our booking and allowed us to get an early breakfast before heading out to the temple. The meals were well prepared and had local and international options. While we ate dinner in the hotel, some of our other meals we ventured around (easily by grab) to try some local specialties.
The hotel may be a few years old but looks brand new and is well appointed and maintained. We were very pleased with the large shower and comfy beds. Note that the bed was on the second level and if you don't have great knees may be better to ask for a villa with the beds on the ground floor (something I only found out on checking out! ).
Overall, my wife and I enjoyed the peace and serenity that you can't easily get when compared to our usual hectic lives. I would certainly recommend this place if you plan to visit Borobudur temple and also need a bit of space to unwind from the stress of our busy lives…
