Plataran Borobudur

Breakfast a la carte is very very nice, fresh fruit is also great The room is made up twice, very friendly staffs The location is amazing as you can see Borobudur from the Patio restaurant (where you will have breakfast) Amenity is truly lacking: no gym of its own, instead need to go to its sister hotel : Plataran Heritage, the shared gym is a dusty small room with one treadmill, one workout dumbbell set The spa also looks quiet old, we ended up going to another hotel for spa

Great resort for healing with families, close to borobudur temple

This was the best hotel I have ever stayed. Everything was amazing.

Ah, Plataran Borobudur Resort & Spa – where luxury meets life's little surprises. As we ventured into this haven of indulgence, we found ourselves navigating through a maze of high expectations and unexpected twists, turning our stay into a memorable escapade sprinkled with moments of charm and chuckles. Let's delve into the highlights – those moments that nearly matched the allure of the multi-page e-brochure: 1. Grand Entrance: Prepare to be welcomed with open arms, drinks, snacks, and a TV buzzing with hotel highlights. It's the perfect prelude to the Plataran experience. 2. Butler Babysitting: Assigned a personal butler, because apparently, we need someone to hold our hands through every step of our vacation. Just a heads-up, they have lives too – so expect a bit of delay in their response. 3. Scenic Serenades: Oh, the views! Borobudur Temple, just a wink away, and a landscape that could make even the Mona Lisa jealous. 4. Roomy Respite: Our accommodations resembled a Kardashian penthouse – spacious, extravagant, and filled with more amenities than we knew what to do with. Private pool? Check. Water dispenser? Check. Two sofas for when you need to stage a dramatic fainting scene? Double check. 5. Service Shenanigans: Service with a smile – most of the time. There were a few hiccups along the way, but hey, it wouldn't be an adventure without a few bumps, right? 6. Breakfast Buffet Bonanza: Rise and shine to a feast fit for a king – or someone with a bottomless appetite. The breakfast spread was so extensive, we wondered if they were trying to feed the entire village. Now, onto the eccentricities – those little surprises that kept us on our toes: 1. Neighbourly Noise: We get it, village life can be noisy. Maybe a bit more soundproofing wouldn't hurt, but hey, it added a touch of authenticity to our stay. 2. Spa Saga: With the spa under renovation, the resort transformed our room into a makeshift spa – complete with soothing music and scented oils. Unfortunately, some treatments were off-limits due to logistical constraints. 3. Butler Bloopers: Our butler had their fair share of slip-ups – from forgetting certain requests to, well, you name it. But hey, we're all human, aren't we? Even if some of us juggle tasks better than others. 4. Privacy Predicament: While Villa 202 touted tranquility, the reality was a bit more... public. Guests from the Patio had a prime view of our villa, especially our pool antics. It felt less like a secluded getaway and more like an inadvertent spectacle. But hey, who can blame them for being curious? 5. Hot Water Hilarity: Enjoy a hot shower while you can – you've got a solid 15 minutes before the warmth fades away faster than your hopes of a leisurely soak. 6. Culinary Chronicles: The menu was a journey of discovery – albeit with a few detours into familiar territory. Local flavors took a backseat to international appeal, but hey, variety is the spice of life. In the end, our stay at Plataran Borobudu
