Novotel Coralia Bogor (Again!)





It is a nice sanctuary place, to have little escape from routine thing in Jakarta. Just an hour drive from Jakarta you will reach this hotel deep inside on of luxurious real estate outside Bogor.

Novotel Coralia Bogor has been there since at least 8 years ago, and this is not the first time we steal our holiday in this place. Standing with lots of big trees, the low-rise 180 room hotel and large landscaped gardens are most beautiful, and have tropical environment design resorts next before Bogor Lake side golf course.





This time we may stay in Deluxe plus room, that have own private open-air bathtub in its terrace. Oh my ….. It’s very exotic, imagine that if you’ve been there with your soul mates, or you are a new couples on the honeymoon, but this time we may been there with our kidz ……..






There are several favorite place in this hotel, one is off-course the swimming pool, even though is not big enough for that size hotel, but still very tempting for our kidz to go in there, meanwhile we are sitting in the club next to the pool to have a cup of coffee and a plate of hotel style banana fritters.







Second is what we called “rumah pohon” is actually a “Watch tower” in the edge of hotel, that has a set of sofa, but then since it’s rainy day so we have no chance to go there.






Third, is the “circle track” around the hotel that may give you felt about nature walk, and again it’s raining and no chance to go there.

The last one is their Veranda restourant, the place when we took our breakfast. It is a restourant in open space facing the main hotel backyard. Very nice.





So, we just spend much time between our “private pool” in our room terrace and swimming pool, back and forth. But then, our purpose to come down into this place is to seek a "little escape" from daily routine activity in Jakarta, and we made it.
