Tangerang's Most Stunning Sky House: Alam Sutera Luxury Awaits!
Tangerang's Most Stunning Sky House: Alam Sutera Luxury Awaits! - A Review (with a Side of Chaos)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the shimmering, shimmering… what's the word? Oh yeah, Tangerang's Most Stunning Sky House: Alam Sutera! Prepare yourselves for a review that’s less polished brochure and more… well, me. And me is a little bit scatterbrained, a lot opinionated, and always, always hungry.
First things first: Accessibility. Listen, I'm not in a wheelchair, but I do appreciate a place that thinks about everyone. The website (which I'll admit, I spent a solid 20 minutes getting lost on, mostly because I was distracted by the pictures of the pool…) claims it's wheelchair accessible, and I saw elevators. So, kudos for that. But honestly, I'd need someone in a wheelchair to really tell me how it feels. It all looks smooth on the surface, you know? Seems pretty easy on foot, too.
On-Site Restaurants/Lounges: This is where things start to get interesting. Let's talk food, people! There are restaurants, obviously. And loads of options. Asian cuisine, international cuisine, a vegetarian restaurant (hallelujah!), a coffee shop, and even a poolside bar. Now, I’m a sucker for a buffet, but I’m also a snob. The Asian breakfast was decent, but the Western breakfast… chef’s kiss! The pancakes were fluffy, the bacon crispy, the coffee… well, it wasn't Starbucks, but it did the trick. And the A la carte in the restaurant… don’t even get me started on the desserts. I may or may not have snuck an extra pastry into my room. Okay, I totally did. No regrets. The Happy Hour? Don't ask. Let's just say I made friends with the bartender.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax (and My Personal Breakdown): Okay, this is where the Sky House truly shines. The pool with a view? Seriously stunning. Like, Instagram-worthy stunning. The sauna, spa, spa/sauna, steamroom? Yes, yes, and yes! I spent a solid afternoon alternating between the hot and the cold, and I think I achieved peak relaxation. There's even a fitness center, gym/fitness if you’re into that torture (I am, sometimes, after enough dessert). They also have things like a body scrub and body wrap … which I skipped, because, you know, priorities: desserts.
And the massage… oh, the massage. I’m going to get real with you guys. My life is stressful. Like, "can't-remember-what-I-ate-for-breakfast" stressful. And the masseuse? She worked MAGIC. Pure, unadulterated, muscle-melting magic. I almost fell asleep in the middle of it. Almost. Then thought to myself, "is it okay to snore in a massage room?". The answer? Probably not. Still, seriously amazing massage.
Cleanliness and Safety: (Because, You Know, It's 2024) Okay, here's where the Sky House really, REALLY impressed me. The anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, professional-grade sanitizing services… it felt safe. Extremely safe. The staff wear masks, there's hand sanitizer everywhere, and they even offer room sanitization opt-out available. The individually-wrapped food options were a nice touch too. I swear, they took all of the possible covid safety precautions. It's comforting to know that they're taking things seriously. Frankly, I appreciated all of it.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (A Deep Dive): We've covered the restaurants, but let's talk details. Room service is 24-hour! This, my friends, is a game changer. Midnight cravings? Solved. The bar is well-stocked, the bottle of water is complimentary (thank God!), and the snack bar is dangerously tempting. I'm pretty sure I gained five pounds just looking at the menu. Oh, and the coffee/tea in restaurant is free too!
Services and Conveniences (Stuff You Might Actually Need): They have everything. Seriously. Concierge, laundry service, dry cleaning, cash withdrawal(!!), currency exchange, daily housekeeping, luggage storage, elevator, facilities for disabled guests, a convenience store, and even a gift/souvenir shop. I loved that you can do contactless check-in/out, and the front desk is 24-hour. It’s a perfect package.
For the Kids (Because I Bet Some of You Have Them): Babysitting service, family/child friendly, kids facilities, kids meal… I don't have kids, so I can't personally vouch for these, but it looks like they've got it covered.
Access (And All the Boring Tech Stuff): CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, Check-in/out [express], Check-in/out [private], Fire extinguisher, Non-smoking rooms, Smoke alarms, Soundproof rooms, Smoke detectors, Security [24-hour]. It's all there, making you feel safe and cared for.
Getting Around (Or How to Escape the Heaven Known as Sky House): Airport transfer, car park [free of charge], car park [on-site], taxi service, valet parking. Basically, you won't have trouble getting there or leaving.
Available in All Rooms (AKA The Good Stuff): Right, let's wrap up with stuff that makes a hotel room actually LIVEABLE. Air conditioning, alarm clock, bathrobes, bathtub, blackout curtains, carpeting, closet, coffee/tea maker, complimentary tea, daily housekeeping, desk, hairdryer, high floor, in-room safe box, internet access – LAN, internet access – wireless, ironing facilities, laptop workspace, linens, mini bar, mirror, non-smoking, private bathroom, reading light, refrigerator, satellite/cable channels, seating area, separate shower/bathtub, shower, slippers, sofa, soundproofing, telephone, toiletries, towels, umbrella, wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], window that opens. Yes, to all of it. The free Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, which, you know, is crucial for the ahem research I was conducting. The bed was comfy. The pillows were fluffy. And the view… oh, the view. I spent hours just staring out the window. It's truly stunning.
My overall score: 9.5/10. The only reason it didn't get a perfect score is because… well, nobody's perfect, right? And I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as a perfect hotel room, no matter how much they try. However, Tangerang’s Most Stunning Sky House: Alam Sutera comes darn close.

Taipei 101 & Xiangshan Escape: 3-Minute Ubike Adventure!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your average, sterile travel itinerary. This is me, raw and unfiltered, trying to navigate the stunning (allegedly) Studio Sky House Alam Sutera By Travelio in Tangerang, Indonesia. This is going to be messy, I guarantee it. Prepare for potential meltdowns, moments of sheer bliss, and probably a lot of me staring blankly at a beautiful view while trying to figure out where I left my phone charger.
Day 1: Arrival & The Great Internet Quest (aka, the Wi-Fi Debacle)
- 14:00 - 15:00: Arrive at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK). Jet lagged already? Absolutely. Somehow, my bag still hasn't arrived. Fantastic start. Find the Grab driver after a solid 20 minutes of wandering around, looking utterly lost. My phone’s almost dead, of course. You know how it is.
- 15:00 - 16:00: The Grab ride. Tangerang traffic? Let's just say it's an art form. I'm pretty sure I saw a motorcycle carrying a whole family and a chicken. Welcome to Indonesia! Try to soak it all in, despite the rising panic about missing luggage and the impending darkness.
- 16:00 - 17:00: Arrive at Sky House Alam Sutera. "Stunning" they say. Let's hope it is. The lobby kinda looks like a spaceship exploded in a furniture store. Check-in happens – smooth as butter? No. Took FOREVER. The poor receptionist probably thought I was insane from all the travel and stress.
- 17:00 - 18:00: The Room. Oh, the room. It is actually pretty decent. Studio apartment, decent view…but the Wi-Fi. Oh, the Wi-Fi! THE WI-FI IS A LIE! Desperately try to connect. Fail miserably. Mild panic sets in. I NEED INTERNET! My lifeblood! I need to upload Instagram pics! (Kidding… mostly). Call Travelio. Wait on hold. Repeat. Try again. Still nothing. This will be the death of me.
- 18:00 - 19:00: Give up on the internet. Walk the complex, just to familiarize myself. See a pool and a gym. Make a mental note to try one of those later. Promise myself I will not go back to my room until the wifi is fixed.
- 19:00 - 20:00: Dinner. Find a local spot – warung, I think it's called? Totally winging it. Order something that looks edible. It’s actually DELICIOUS. Nasi Goreng with some shrimp crackers. Best damn meal I’ve had in months. Maybe the Wi-Fi situation wasn't so bad after all… for a few moments.
- 20:00 - 21:00: Crawl back to the room. Pray for Wi-Fi miracles. Still nada. Curse my luck. Realize I forgot to pack an adapter. Begin to contemplate whether I should go to the reception again, give up, or set fire to this hotel. Sigh.
Day 2: The Alam Sutera Exploration (with intermittent Wi-Fi hope)
- 08:00 - 09:00: Wake up. Sun streaming in. View is pretty stunning, I have to admit. Try the Wi-Fi. Still dead. Start the day with a furious email to Travelio.
- 09:00 - 10:00: Breakfast. Raid the mini-mart. End up with instant noodles, which I eat out of the container using a plastic spoon. Gourmet, I am not. (Seriously, though, why aren't the hotels providing breakfast?!)
- 10:00 - 13:00: Explore Alam Sutera. Apparently, it's a shopping mall. And a park. And a bunch of fancy apartments. Wander around, feeling monumentally out of place. The sheer scale of the place is a bit overwhelming. Get lost. See some ridiculously expensive handbags. Get more lost.
- 13:00 - 14:00: Lunch. Find a cafe that might have working Wi-Fi, I cautiously hope. Order a cappuccino and some Indonesian snacks. The Wi-Fi… blessedly, kind of works. Rapidly update my socials, upload photos, and reply to a few urgent things; it took longer than it should have but I am happy with what I got.
- 14:00 - 16:00: RELAX. Maybe the gym? See an outdoor pool. Okay, time to get a tan.
- 16:00 - 17:00: Back to the room. The internet still isn't completely working, but it allows me to upload my photos of the stunning view of the pool.
- 17:00 - 19:00: Catch up on some TV. Decide the TV show is boring.
- 19:00 - 20:00: Dinner. Go to the same warung as yesterday. Order the same dish. It's THAT good. Make friends with the owner, who gives me a free drink. Feel a tiny flicker of "local" connection.
- 20:00 - 21:00: Struggle with the Wi-Fi. Give up. Write a travel journal entry (the old-fashioned way!) and enjoy the silence. And the fact that, hey, I survived another day!
Day 3: The Great Escape (or, Getting Out of Here Before I Lose It)
- 08:00 - 09:00: Last day. Try the Wi-Fi. Still a crapshoot.
- 09:00 - 10:00: Pack. Sort of. Realize I'm leaving half my stuff behind. Mentally prepare for the luggage chaos to come. Check out. Head to the airport.
- 10:00 - 11:00: Farewell the Alam Sutera, hoping the next place has better internet.
- 11:00 - 12:00: Grab the taxi. The driver is extremely friendly, and despite the language barrier, we have a conversation about the joys of traveling and the beauty of Tangerang.
- 12:00 - 13:00: Start the plane-crusing.
- 13:00 - 14:00: Goodbye, Tangerang. Goodbye, Wi-Fi hell. And hopefully, goodbye to this jet lag! Until next time!
Final Thoughts:
Was Studio Sky House "stunning"? Yeah, it was. The view was pretty amazing, especially at sunrise. But the Wi-Fi ordeal nearly broke me. Seriously, Travelio, sort it out! However, the food was fantastic, the people were generally lovely (especially the warung owner!), and I survived. And that’s what matters, right? This whole trip has been a lesson in embracing the chaos. Next time, I'm bringing a portable router and a serious dose of patience. And maybe, just maybe, I'll finally master the art of packing light. (Doubtful.)
