Tangerang's Hidden Gem: Akasa Pure Living's Luxurious Escape!
Tangerang's Hidden Gem: Akasa Pure Living's Luxurious Escape!
Akasa Pure Living: Tangerang's "Hidden Gem"? Honey, Let's Talk. (And Maybe Get a Massage First.)
Okay, so, I’ve been "researching" – aka, desperately needing a break – and stumbled upon Akasa Pure Living in Tangerang. "Luxurious Escape" they call it. Sounds good, right? But you know me, I'm skeptical. I've seen "luxurious" turn into "slightly less awful than my apartment" way too many times. But after a whirlwind of online scrolling, and some serious deliberation, I'm ready to spill the tea. Let's dive into this "hidden gem" and see if it shimmers or just… sits there.
Accessibility & Getting There: The Gateway to Bliss (Hopefully!)
First things first: getting there. Accessibility is king (or queen!). And Akasa… well, they're trying. There's airport transfer, which is a huge win. After a long flight, the thought of haggling with a taxi driver makes me shudder. Car park [free of charge] and Car park [on-site] are also fantastic. No parking nightmares? Sign me up! Regarding facilities for disabled guests, the info online is a little wishy-washy, but I'd recommend contacting them directly to confirm specific needs are met. Check-in/out [express] and Check-in/out [private] options hint at a streamlined experience, and that, my friends, is always a plus.
The Tech Stuff: Wi-Fi & the Digital Age
Okay, so Internet is important, let's be honest. We’re addicted. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! praise hands emoji (I am a technology genius!) They also have Internet [LAN] which is a blast from the past, and for those of us who enjoy a wired connection I can hear the old dial up connection sound. Wi-Fi in public areas is a necessity for those of us who want to live life on the go, but there are some people who will appreciate the Internet services because its always good to be connected!
Room to Breathe: What About the Actual Rooms?
Alright, let's talk rooms. I was hoping for clouds, and well… it's good. Air conditioning is a MUST in this climate. Thank goodness! Air Conditioning in Public Area is also very important. And, thank God, Bathtub. I like to imagine myself as Cleopatra when I go to hotels. Blackout curtains are essential for a good night's sleep. I need those! Bathrobes, Slippers, Towels, Hair dryer, and Toiletries are all there. Coffee/tea maker? Praise be! A quick caffeine fix every morning is perfect. Desk, Laptop workspace, and Internet access – wireless are good for those who need to do some work. The Non-smoking rooms are also great. It’s good to have options. Safety/security feature is available. Separate shower/bathtub. Wake-up service is available, which is also good. AND most importantly, Wi-Fi [free]!
Food, Glorious Food (and Drink!): Will My Stomach Be Happy?
This is where Akasa could win me over. Let’s start with the obvious: Restaurants, plural! Excellent! And, according to the website, they've got multiple options. The Restaurants include A la carte in restaurant, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Salad in restaurant, Snack bar, Soup in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Western cuisine in restaurant. So, the food scene seems promising.
And the bar! This is promising, and they have an alternative meal arrangement, which is helpful for those with dietary restrictions. And, they offer Breakfast [buffet]. Good for those who get hangry. They also offer breakfast takeaway service. I like that.
The Spa & Relaxation Factor: Can I Actually Unwind?
Alright, this is the juicy part. This is where "luxurious escape" either becomes reality or a cruel joke. The website boasts a Spa. YES! And within that spa? Body scrub, Body wrap, Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Pool with view, Sauna, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor]. OH. MY. GOODNESS. This sounds like a dream. I can already picture myself lounging by the Pool with view, sipping a cocktail from the Poolside bar, and then melting into a deep-tissue massage. The gym/fitness is a necessity, since I won't use it. The Sauna, Steamroom, and Foot bath will give me a moment of relaxation.
Cleanliness & Safety: Because We're Still In That Era
Let's be real: cleanliness and safety are paramount these days. Akasa seems to get it. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer, Hot water linen and laundry washing, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services… all good signs. This is exactly what I want to see! Rooms sanitized between stays too. And they offer Room sanitization opt-out available. The Staff trained in safety protocol, is great. They even have the First aid kit available at the hotel. And, Safe dining setup is important!
For the Kids (and the Grown-Ups Who Want to Play):
Babysitting service and Kids facilities are both great, for those families who want to have some adult time.
Services & Conveniences: Beyond the Bare Minimum
Akasa aims to impress with a pretty extensive list of Services and conveniences. We're talking the usual suspects: Concierge, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage. They also offer Food delivery.
The Quirky Bits: What Makes Akasa Unique?
Alright, this is where I hope Akasa throws me a curveball. The website mentions a Shrine. That's interesting. Maybe a little kitschy? I am a fan of Hotel Chain and Non-smoking rooms. The website also mentions Couple's room and Proposal spot. Very nice, they know how to make a space fun!
Potential Pitfalls (Because Let's Be Realistic):
- Website Photos vs. Reality: I've been burned before! The pictures look dreamy, but will the actual rooms live up to the hype?
- Crowds and Noise: Remember, this is Tangerang, not a deserted island. Will the pool be a haven or a splash zone?
- Service Quality: Can the staff keep up with the "luxury" vibe? Are they genuinely helpful, or just going through the motions?
The Verdict (So Far): Worth a Shot?
Honestly? Based on this intel, and if my gut instinct is right, Akasa Pure Living looks promising. They seem to have their act together, at least on paper.

Indonesian Dream Home: Minimalist 2BR Patraland Urbano Oasis!
Okay, buckle up, buttercup. This isn't your grandma's perfectly-formatted travel itinerary. This is… well, this is me in NiceComfort Studio @ Akasa Pure Living By Travelio Tangerang, Indonesia. Prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions and questionable decision-making.
The Messy-But-Authentic Tangerang Adventure (aka, "How I Found My Inner Peace… and Lost It Again Immediately")
Day 1: Arrival and Existential Dread (Plus, Delicious Noodles)
- 14:00 - Flight Arrival (Jakarta - Soekarno-Hatta International Airport): Okay, so, the flight was a blur. I swear, I blinked and we were landing. The air felt… humid. Like a warm, slightly suffocating hug from a thousand unseen microbes.
- 15:00 - Airport Shuffle & Grab Car Drama: Ugh, the airport. It's a chaotic ballet of luggage and stressed tourists. Finding the Grab car pick-up? That was an Olympic sport. My phone decided to glitch out and I was certain I was stranded forever. Eventually, after some aggressive thumb-swiping and some questionable Indonesian translations (thanks, Google Translate!), I found my driver. Bless his heart, he was probably thinking, "This westerner looks TERRIFIED. And she's right to be."
- 16:00 - Check-in & Akasa Pure Living: Initial Observations: The Akasa Pure Living place… well, it's nice. Maybe a little too nice. I can practically smell the forced zen. My studio, the NiceComfort one, is… compact. Clean, which is good. The AC blasts like a hurricane, which is even better, because seriously, the humidity is out there. I unpacked, took a deep breath, and immediately felt the crushing weight of "solo travel responsibility." Did I pack enough socks? Did I remember to email my cat?
- 17:00 - Grocery Store Run (aka, Attempted Civilization): Okay, needed sustenance. Found a mini-mart, felt utterly lost, and ended up buying way too many instant noodles. Seriously, the ramen selection here is insane. I also got some local snacks that looked intriguing. Who knows what terrifyingly delicious things I'll find in those bags?
- 18:30 - Indonesian Noodle Nirvana (and a little existential crisis): I devoured those noodles. Spicy, savory, utterly amazing. Then, I sat on the tiny balcony, ate my noodles, and watched the sky turn vibrant shades of orange and purple. Actually thought, "Wow, this is beautiful." Then I thought, "But what am I doing here? Am I lost?" I ate more noodles. Problem solved… momentarily.
- 19:30: Attempted Language Learning and Failing: I tried to download a language learning app and failed miserably. So much for "immersing myself in the local culture."
- 20:00 - Early Night (mostly because I'm exhausted and the AC is making my teeth hurt): Bedtime. Maybe tomorrow I’ll actually do something. Or maybe I’ll just order more noodles.
Day 2: Temples, Traffic, and a Terrible Karaoke Show (The Day I Found My Rhythm… and Lost It Again)
- 09:00 - Wake Up & Mild Panic About The Day: Woke up feeling… okay. The AC's still going strong. Took a while to work up the nerve to leave the room, that comfy little prison.
- 10:00 - The Vihara Nimmala Temple & The Unexplained Feeling of Being Underdressed: Found a place called ‘Vihara Nimmala’. So I wandered in, feeling like a total idiot because my shoulders and ankles were definitely showing. Seriously, I stuck out like a sore thumb. But the atmosphere! Incense, chanting, and a peace that was… almost intimidating. It was actually pretty cool, and I am not very good at being peaceful… but I felt something near it in a quiet way.
- 12:00 - Lunch at a Local Restaurant (Possibly the Best Thing Ever): Oh. My. God. I found a local warung (small restaurant) and ate the most amazing nasi goreng (fried rice) of my life.. The chilies? Fire. The service? Charming. The price? Ridiculously cheap. I considered staying there forever. Seriously. I was just eating it and giggling. Every bite.
- 13:30 - Tangerang Traffic Hell: Traffic in Tangerang… is a beast. I'd heard tales. I believed them. I felt like I might die from the sheer length of time it takes to get anywhere.
- 15:00 - Strolling Around a City Square & Feeling Weird: The weather improved so I went wandering again, to a city square full of street performers, and the usual chaos of an Indonesian city.
- 17:00 - Karaoke Bar Catastrophe: Okay, so, I ended up in a karaoke bar. Don’t ask. I’m not sure how it happened. My karaoke performance? Let's just say it was… enthusiastic. And off-key. Loud. I'm pretty sure I cleared the room. The one good thing about it was that the other people there were singing badly too, so I did not completely bomb.
- 18:30 - Dinner: Street Food (and Questionable Hygiene): Found some street food stalls. The smell was irresistible! I dove headfirst into some… things. Delicious things. I am pretty sure they were safe. Probably. Maybe. Fingers crossed.
- 20:00 - Back to the Room: A Little Bit More Content… And a Little More Terrified: Another night, the AC's still running, and my stomach hasn't betrayed me. Still, I'm looking up return flights.
Day 3: The Market, The Mango, and (Maybe) The Beginning of Understanding?
- 08:00 - Morning Yoga (Attempted): Tried to do some yoga in my room. Failed spectacularly due to cramped space and an inability to stop giggling at myself.
- 09:00 - The Pasar (Market): Sensory Overload: The market! Oh, the market! A riot of colors, smells, and sounds. I got completely lost in the sensory overload! Fresh produce, spices that made my nose tingle, and enough fabric to clothe a small army. Absolutely terrifying (again).
- 11:00 - Mango Bliss: Bought a ridiculously juicy mango. The juice ran down my chin. I didn't care. Best mango ever. Pure, tropical happiness.
- 12:00 - Lunch somewhere new Found a noodle shop.
- 13:00 - The Mall (Or, My Desperate Plea for Familiarity): The mall… Okay, it felt strangely comforting. Air conditioning! Familiar shops! I spent way too long looking at things I didn't need. But it was a much-needed dose of boring familiarity.
- 15:00 - Back to the Studio, Reflecting (Maybe): I don't know. Three days, and I'm still not sure what I'm doing here. The noodles are amazing, though. And the mangoes… I'm okay with going back.
Day 4: Departure - The End
- 11:00 Last Meal: Having some kind of breakfast,
- 19:00 Depart.
Epilogue:
So, Tangerang. It wasn't perfect. It wasn't always pretty. I certainly made a fool of myself a few times. But… it was something. A messy, imperfect, noodle-filled adventure. I might have found a tiny piece of myself. Or maybe just a really good noodle shop. Either way, I'm leaving with a slightly changed perspective, a full stomach, and a suitcase full of questionable snacks. And, yes, I still have my socks. I survived. Barely.

Akasa Pure Living: My Brain Dump After Actually Being There (So, Not Your Typical FAQs)
Okay, Akasa Pure Living... Is it actually as 'pure' and 'living' as they claim? Or just another fancy condo trying to sell me a lie?
Alright, let's be real. Marketing is marketing, right? But… Honestly? It’s pretty damn good. I went in expecting some polished-to-perfection, sterile experience, and I actually found…life. Real, breathing, sometimes-loud life. Now, ‘pure’? Maybe not in the biblical sense. I did see one rogue child (sorry, kid!) splattering some something-that-may-or-may-not-have-been-chocolate on a pristine white sofa. But the *vibe*? Absolutely. It felt…calming. Like, my blood pressure actually *dropped* walking through the lobby. Which, coming from Jakarta, is saying something.
What's the deal with the location? Isn't Tangerang… you know… Tangerang?
Okay, yes. Tangerang. My initial reaction? 'Ugh, traffic, more traffic.' BUT… Akasa is actually surprisingly well-placed. Close enough to the chaos for your shopping sprees and work life, but *far* enough that you feel a genuine separation. I mean, the moment I got inside and saw that view… my jaw actually dropped. And I'm not a jaw-dropping kind of person. It's a welcome contrast to the usual concrete jungle I call home. You get those 'urban oasis' feels, which is very important when you spend most of your life battling traffic, let me tell you.
Tell me about the apartments themselves. Are they ridiculously tiny, or…?
Okay, so, thankfully, no shoeboxes. Phew. I walked through a 2-bedroom and a 3-bedroom, and let me tell you, my imaginary future self was doing little happy dances in the corner. The layouts are smart! They've actually thought about how people *live*, not just how they can cram in the most units. Big windows, natural light, a proper balcony… That balcony! I could see myself, you know, actually *using* it. Coffee in the morning, a glass of wine in the evening… The kitchen's well-equipped too. It's tempting (very tempting!) to just… move in. The only downside? Well, the prices are a *little* eyebrow-raising. But hey, you get what you pay for, right?
Are the amenities actually good, or just another list of buzzwords?
Okay, the amenities. This is where it gets interesting. They've got the standard stuff – a pool (gorgeous, by the way), a gym (looked well-equipped, even though I'm pretty sure I'd spend most of my time in the pool), a kids' play area (see earlier rogue chocolate incident). But they also have a co-working space, which is HUGE for people like me who sometimes work from home. And a rooftop garden! Picture this: sunsets, a book, maybe a small gin and tonic… Yeah, I'm already planning. The key, though, is the *quality*. The gym isn't the kind you see in a dodgy commercial building. It felt… professional. Same with the pool. It wasn’t packed with kids, splashing around, which is a HUGE plus. I mean, I like kids (sometimes), but I also value my peace!
What else can you tell me about the services?
The staff were super friendly and helpful, which is always a good sign, right? They also have a concierge service and housekeeping options, which is a lifesaver for someone like me who values time (and hates cleaning!). On top of that, if you are not a local Indonesian, and like speaking specific languages, they got you covered with their language services.
What's the one thing that absolutely blew you away? The *wow* factor? Spill the tea!
Okay, brace yourself. It wasn't the apartment, although that was beautiful. It wasn't the pool, although I could have stayed there all day. It was…the *view*. Seriously. I'm a sucker for a good view, and this one? Stunning. You get this sweeping panorama of the city, with the mountains in the distance. I stood there, just staring, and felt…peaceful. Which, in my life, is a rare commodity. It legit made me consider the idea of waking up to that view every morning. I think that justifies the price tag alone, honestly. It’s a mood booster. An instant mood booster. Okay I'm getting emotional again. Let's move on.
Any downsides, beyond the price? Be brutally honest!
Okay, okay, the truth bomb. First - price. Then there's the… *slightly* remote-ish location. It's not *in* the city center, which is a plus for peace and quiet, but a bit of a pain for spontaneous late-night food cravings. (God, I love nasi goreng). You'd need a car, or be willing to rely on ride-hailing services. And, I’m just nitpicking, the parking garage felt a little… sterile. But hey, that's just me. Otherwise, honestly? I’m struggling to find major flaws. I'm trying to be objective (I really am!), but I left there feeling pretty darn impressed. It's not *perfect*, nothing ever is, but it comes pretty close.
Would you recommend Akasa Pure Living? And if so, who is it *really* for?
Absolutely. Yes. A thousand times yes. If you're looking for a luxurious, modern apartment that lets you escape the hustle and bustle of the city, but still be connected, and you have the budget, this is definitely worth checking out. Okay, it's not for everyone, especially those on a very tight budget. It’s for people who want peace and quiet, good amenities, and a beautiful view. Perfect for busy professionals, young families, or anyone who wants a little slice of paradise. Honestly? I’m seriously considering it. (My bank account is weeping, but my soul is singing!) Go. Just go. Even if it's just to daydream.
