Luxury Bekasi Escape: Springlake Summarecon's Stunning Travelio Apartment!
Luxury Bekasi Escape: Springlake Summarecon's Stunning Travelio Apartment! - My Honest (and Slightly Rambly) Review!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I just got back from a stay at the Luxury Bekasi Escape: Springlake Summarecon's Stunning Travelio Apartment! and let me tell you, it was… an experience. Forget those cookie-cutter hotel reviews, this is the real deal, the messy, imperfect, and utterly human take on this Bekasi gem. And yes, I'm going to spill all the tea, from the amazing moments to the slightly-less-amazing ones.
First off, let's get the SEO stuff out of the way. If you're looking for a luxury apartment in Bekasi, a convenient base for your Bekasi Business trip, or a family-friendly getaway in Bekasi, this Travelio apartment at Springlake Summarecon might just be your ticket. We're talking Wi-Fi, swimming pool, fitness center, and all the usual suspects, plus a whole heap of other stuff to unpack (literally and figuratively!).
Accessibility & Getting Around (Or, My Adventures in Bekasi!):
Alright, so Accessibility is a mixed bag. The building itself has an elevator, which is a huge plus, and generally seems pretty accessible. However, I didn't specifically check for wheelchair-friendly access to the pool or restaurant, so I can't give a definitive answer there. Accessibility is a big one, and it's something I need to get better at looking into.
Getting to the apartment was fairly straightforward. Airport transfer is available, which is a lifesaver, especially if you're arriving in a new city. Car park [free of charge] is a huge win, too. Though the parking can get a bit… vibrant at peak times, but that just adds to the local flavor, right? Taxi service is readily available, and I found the traffic in Bekasi to be… well, let's just say it provides ample opportunity for people-watching.
On-site Amenities & Things to Do (Pools, Saunas, and the Quest for the Perfect Breakfast):
Okay, let's dive into the good stuff! The swimming pool [outdoor]? Absolutely stunning. The views are… well, let's say they're of other buildings, but the water is clean, the sun shines, and it's a perfect way to de-stress. I lounged by the pool with view one afternoon, sipping an iced coffee, and for a brief, glorious moment, I forgot all about my email inbox. Pure bliss.
They've got a legit Fitness center! Now, I'm not always a gym-goer, but I did pop in a couple of times. It’s well-equipped, and a great way to work off those extra Indonesian meals. There is also a Sauna which I found very relaxing, even did a brief detour here to find some moments of peace in my busy life! It helps you wash away all the stress and have a good time when you need it.
The question of dining, drinking, and snacking is also pretty well covered. There's a coffee shop on-site, which is a must for a caffeine addict like myself. The Poolside bar is fabulous for cocktails, especially when the sun is setting. The restaurants offer a decent selection, from Asian cuisine in restaurant to Western cuisine in restaurant and there's even a Vegetarian restaurant, so everyone can find something they like. The Breakfast [buffet] was pretty standard; I mean, it’s a buffet, so it's all a bit of a scramble, but the Asian breakfast offerings were pretty tasty.
Room Rundown (My Humble Abode):
Now, for the apartment itself. I opted for a non-smoking room (yes, that's important!), and let me tell you, it felt like a luxury escape. Rooms sanitized between stays, which is reassuring, especially in the current climate!
The extra long bed was a dream, and the blackout curtains were a lifesaver. I am someone who loves their sleep, so the Alarm clock was a must, so was the complimentary tea to get me through the morning. It was also nicely equipped with Bathrobes and slippers, a lovely touch!
The Air conditioning was a godsend in the Bekasi heat. The Free bottled water was also a welcome touch. The Internet access – wireless was reliable, though I will admit, I spent a fair amount of time staring out the window that opens, contemplating life. The seating area was spacious and comfortable, perfect for chilling after a long day. They really thought of everything - the safe box, the mirror, the toiletries, the hot water - all ready to meet your needs!
Cleanliness & Safety (Feeling Safe and Sound):
I'm a bit of a germaphobe, so cleanliness is a big deal for me. I can report that the apartment was spotless! They have a whole host of Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, and all the staff are Staff trained in safety protocol. Rooms sanitized between stays, and there was even individually-wrapped food options. Their commitment to hygiene and safety was excellent.
You'll find a fire extinguisher, fire alarm, smoke alarms, and safety/security feature and CCTV all around the place. I definitely felt safe and secure during my stay.
Services and Conveniences (The Little Things That Matter):
Now, this is where the apartment really shines. They offer a huge range of services and conveniences. Daily housekeeping is a must. Food delivery is available. There's even a convenience store on-site. They have a laundry service, and I loved the fact that they offered dry cleaning.
Services and conveniences aside, the staff was friendly, helpful, and always ready with a smile. Definitely a big plus in my book!
For the Kids (Mini-Vacationers Welcome!):
This place is also pretty family/child friendly. They have Babysitting service, which is great if you need a bit of downtime. There are also Kids facilities, which is perfect for those with little ones.
The Imperfect Bits (Because Life Isn't Always Perfect):
Okay, so it wasn't all sunshine and roses. Here are a few minor gripes:
- One minor thing: The Wi-Fi, while generally good, did occasionally drop out. Nothing major, but enough to be annoying.
- The view from my room wasn’t of anything spectacular, just another building. But hey, you can't win 'em all.
- There were a couple of days where the breakfast buffet ran out of my favorite pastries before I got there (first-world problems, I know!).
The Verdict (Would I Go Back?):
Absolutely! Despite a few minor hiccups, I had a fantastic stay at the Luxury Bekasi Escape: Springlake Summarecon Travelio Apartment! It's clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and the staff is wonderful. It's a great option for anyone looking for a relaxing and convenient stay in Bekasi.

Baguio's BEST 2BR Premier Condo w/ Balcony & Stunning View!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups! We're diving headfirst into the glorious, messy, and likely slightly chaotic adventure that is… my "holiday" (let's be real, it's barely a holiday) in Nice Studio Springlake Summarecon, Bekasi. By Travelio. Which, frankly, sounds more glamorous than it probably is. Wish me luck surviving this…
Day 1: The Arrival and the Great Fridge-Staring Contest (And the Existential Dread)
- 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Jakarta Airport Ritual. Ugh, airports. The soul-sucking black holes of humanity. Get through security, grab that overpriced latte (because, priorities), pretend to know where I'm going. Pray to the travel gods my luggage actually makes it. Pray hard.
- 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM: Taxi to Bekasi. The driver, bless his heart, looked like he hadn’t slept since the dawn of time. I attempted some polite conversation, but my brain was already in “holiday-mode” (which translated to complete and utter mental shutdown). The traffic was, as expected, a relentless beast. I spent most of the ride staring out the window, wondering if that building was really leaning that much.
- 11:00 AM - 11:30 AM: Check-in and the Apartment Reveal. Okay, Travelio. Let's see what we've got. Key pick-up was smooth, surprisingly. The "Nice Studio"… well, it's compact. Very compact. First impression: slightly sterile. But hey, it has a window! And air conditioning! Win.
- 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM: The Fridge-Staring Contest. This is where the fun really begins. I open the fridge. Empty. Stark. I'm pretty sure I saw a tumbleweed blow through. Panic sets in. Am I really supposed to survive on instant noodles for the next three days? I consider ordering room service, but then I see the price and let out a little, pathetic whimper.
- 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM: Grocery Store Odyssey. Armed with Google Maps and a vague sense of direction, I brave the bustling streets to find a supermarket. Turns out, finding a decent supermarket is an adventure in itself. The air is thick with humidity and the aroma of… well, everything. There's a small crisis when I realize I have no idea how to use the little shopping cart. Don't judge.
- 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Late Lunch and Deep Regret. Back at the apartment, triumphantly wielding my grocery haul (mostly snacks), I munch down the store fried chicken. The deep regret sets in. The food isn't even that good, but I'm starving.
- 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Nap and Existential Dread. This is the core of the "holiday". The aircon is pumping, the blinds are drawn, and my brain is officially offline. Wondering when I'll feel "holiday-ish".
- 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Swim. Or attempt to swim. The pool is… alright. A few screaming kids, but hey, this beats not swimming.
- 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Dinner. More fried chicken. And more regret. I am starting to think I should have brought some food.
- 7:00 PM - onwards : Netflix and chill. My internal monologue repeats "This is a vacation, this is a vacation, this is a vacation". The Netflix doesn't like the wifi, so I'm stuck watching Indonesian reality tv shows.
Day 2: The Bekasi Exploration (Or, "Why Did I Come Here? Part 2")
- 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Breakfast. Coffee. Bagel (which I've over-toasted). The usual. Start the day with a touch of self-loathing.
- 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Grand Galaxy Park Mall Attempt. I read online that this place is fancy. Time to experience the world! But, the taxi app is also a mess. I eventually make it. The mall is… well, it's a mall. The food court is an assault on the senses. I wander around feeling like a bewildered tourist in a shopping extravaganza. This is it. Holiday.
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch. I manage to find something that vaguely resembles food. I eat it quickly, with a growing sense of unease.
- 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Karaoke (Against My Better Judgment). I decide to embrace the local culture. I find a karaoke booth. I pick a song. I forget all the lyrics. It is… an experience. I am not a singer. I become more aware of all the noise that is inside my throat.
- 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Regret. I spend some time regretting the karaoke. Contemplating if I should have stayed in my room.
- 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Dinner and "Culture". I try some local food. Spicy. Delicious. I burn my tongue. I decide Indonesia is a fiery land.
- 7:00 PM - onwards: More Netflix. More reality tv. More self-questioning.
Day 3: The Escape (And a Glimmer of Hope?)
- 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: The Final Breakfast. Pack, prepare for "debriefing".
- 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: The Great Apartment Clean-Up. Trying to leave the studio as acceptable as possible.
- 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM: Taxi to the Airport. Last minute, I see an amazing building, and suddenly I'm more happy. I could come here again.
- 11:00 AM - onwards: Airport Hell. Oh, joy. Back to the black hole. But, hey, at least I'll have stories. And maybe, just maybe, a newfound appreciation for my own bed.
- Flying home!
Quirky Observations & Emotional Reactions:
- The Air Conditioning: It’s a blessing and a curse. Keeps me alive, but also contributes to the general sense of isolation.
- The Food: A rollercoaster of flavors and regret. My digestive system might not ever forgive me. But it was worth it.
- The People: generally kind and a sense of community. I'm pretty sure the karaoke place owner is still scarred.
- Me: Wondering if I could be a full-time hermit. Or at least, consider it?
The Messy Bits:
- Lost my phone for a solid hour one afternoon. Panic ensued. Found it under the bed.
- Almost walked into a scooter. Twice.
- The WiFi in the apartment was sketchy at best. My reliance on technology is terrifying.
So, there you have it. My "holiday" in Bekasi. It wasn't glamorous, it wasn't perfectly planned, and it definitely wasn't relaxing in the conventional sense. But it was mine. And amidst all the chaos, the fried chicken, and the existential dread, there were moments of genuine, albeit slightly awkward, joy. And hey, I survived. That's a win in my book. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need a cold shower and a strong drink. On to the next trip… whenever that may be.

Luxury Bekasi Escape: Springlake Summarecon - Real Talk FAQ! (Because Let's Be Honest, You Need It)
Okay, So... Is This Place REALLY Luxurious? Like, Beyoncé Level Luxurious?
Alright, let's break it down. Beyoncé? Nah. But it's darn good. Think "nice hotel" but with more space and a kitchen. The finishes are pretty sleek – I'm talking gleaming floors and fancy lighting. My *personal* definition of luxury involves a ridiculously comfy bed, and this place delivered. Slept like a baby… mostly. Okay, there was one night the AC went a little rogue and I woke up halfway through sweating like I was in a sauna. But, hey, even luxury has its hiccups! Overall, though, yeah, it's definitely a step above your average AirBnB. You'll feel a *little* bit fancy. Just don't expect a personal butler… unless you book one separately, you overachiever.
What's the Deal with the Location? Springlake, Summarecon... Spill the Tea!
Okay, so Springlake is in Summarecon, which is, well, *the* place to be in Bekasi. Think of it as the…Beverly Hills…of Bekasi? (Don't quote me on that!). Seriously though, it's a well-planned area. There’s a giant mall (Summarecon Mall Bekasi – get ready to shop ‘til you drop!), tons of restaurants, and even a Starbucks! (Essential, obviously.) Getting around is…well, it's Bekasi. Traffic can be a beast. Seriously, I spent THREE HOURS trying to get to Jakarta once. Pack snacks and a good podcast. But, being within Summarecon itself? Pretty convenient. You can walk to all sorts of stuff. Which is good because dealing with the traffic is, to be frank, a bloody nightmare.
The Apartment Itself – Dish on the Layout, the Amenities! Gimme the Goods!
Alright, let's go room by room, shall we? They're all a bit different, from what I can tell. I stayed in a 2-bedroom, which was perfect for me and my... let's call them "travel companions". The living room had a decent-sized TV (important for Netflix binges, duh!), a comfy sofa (tested and approved for napping!), and a little balcony. The bedrooms? Spacious! One bedroom had a king-size bed (yes!), and the other, a queen. Bathrooms – clean, modern, and (praise the lord) good water pressure. The kitchen, well, it's functional. You can cook basic meals. Don't expect a gourmet chef’s setup, but it's got your essentials. There's a fridge, a microwave, and a cooktop. I attempted to make pasta one night. Let's just say it looked…rustic. But the amenities! The pool is gorgeous. Seriously Instagram-worthy. There's also a gym, which I *intended* to use…but the pool was just so much more appealing. (No regrets!)
Travelio vs. a Regular Hotel...What's the Big Difference?
Okay, here's the lowdown. Travelio is like an apartment, so you get more space and a kitchen. A hotel? Convenience, but you’re more hemmed in. I preferred Travelio for Springlake. I like having a bit of breathing room. Also, I'm a messy creature. Don't judge me! In the hotel, the maid would come in every day, and it would feel too much like I had to *pretend* to be neat. And here I can live like a human being. So, it's really about whether you want more space and the feel of a home or constant fluffy towels and room service.
The Not-So-Great Stuff? Be Honest!
Alright, honesty time. Here's the not-so-perfect stuff. Sometimes (and this is more a Bekasi thing than a Springlake thing), the Wi-Fi can be a bit patchy. I once spent an entire morning trying to upload a photo. It's a first-world problem, I know, but it's annoying. The check-in process, well, that can be slightly less seamless if you're not prepared. You might need to meet someone to get the keys and whatnot, versus just grabbing a card at the front desk of a hotel. Also, the "view" from my balcony? Let's just say it wasn't the ocean. It was more…cityscape. Still, the sunsets were pretty decent. I've seen worse. But, overall, I'd say the slightly dodgy internet and the sometimes complicated check-in are minor quibbles compared to the other perks. And did I mention the pool? Because… wow, the pool.
OMG, The Pool! Tell Me EVERYTHING!
Alright, the pool. Okay, so, it's gorgeous. Seriously. The water is inviting, the surroundings are lush, and there are usually enough sun loungers to get you sorted. The first day I got there. It was *magical.* I slathered on the sunscreen, grabbed a book, and just…chilled. For hours. The water was cool and refreshing. I swear, the worries of the world just melted away. There was music playing – not too loud, just the right vibe. I ordered a drink from the pool bar… a Mojito. A glorious, perfect Mojito. Okay maybe I overdid it on the Mojitos. But it's vacation, right? And it looks even better at night. The lights and the shadows just make for a perfect experience.
Is it Family-Friendly? Or More for a Romantic Getaway?
I saw families there. Lots of 'em. Kids splashing in the pool, parents keeping an eye on them, you get the gist. So, yes, it's definitely family-friendly. There’s enough space in the apartments for a family to spread out. However, the vibe is chill, so no wild parties or anything. If you are looking for a quieter atmosphere, it’d work. However, I'm not a parent, and I went with friends. So, I'm not the best judge. It seems pretty good tho!
I'm on a Budget...Is This Place Going to Bankrupt Me?
Alright, honestly? It’s more of a splurge than a budget option. Prices vary depending on the time of year and the size of the apartment. But, yeah, it's not super cheap. However, if you're traveling with a group, you can split the cost, and it becomes more reasonable. And think of it this way: You're paying for a nice place, space, and amenities like that gorgeous pool. If you're really watching your wallet, maybe look for special deals or promotions. But don't expect a hostel price.
