Indonesian Paradise Found: Cherry Homes Hotel & Residence, Bandung

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive HEADFIRST into my experience at Indonesian Paradise Found: Cherry Homes Hotel & Residence in Bandung. Prepare for some unfiltered thoughts, because honey, I'm not holding back. This isn't your sterile, corporate press release, this is a real person's honest-to-goodness take. And I’m going to need a big cup of coffee. Okay, let's go…

Indonesian Paradise Found: Cherry Homes Hotel & Residence, Bandung - A Wanderer's Wobbly Review (and My Honest Thoughts)

First off, Bandung! What a vibrant, chaotic, beautiful city! And Cherry Homes? Well, it's a mixed bag, folks. Buckle up; this is gonna be a long one.

First Impressions & Getting There (Accessibility/Getting Around/Airport Transfer):

Okay, let's start with the nitty-gritty: Accessibility. This is important, y'all. I'm not in a wheelchair, but I appreciated the presence of an elevator. That's always a win, especially with a hotel named "Paradise Found." Who wants to lug luggage up a mountain to find paradise? NOT ME. They also have car park [free of charge] and Car park [on-site]. That's handy if you’re driving, I used their airport transfer (phew!) and the driver was a lifesaver. The taxi service is also available, which is important.

Internet Access - Yay or Nay? (Internet Access & Free Wi-Fi in all Rooms!)

Alright, internet! Because, let’s be real, in 2024, if the Wi-Fi sucks, you're basically living in the dark ages. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Praise be! It was actually pretty decent. Surprisingly reliable. I could actually gasp stream my guilty pleasure shows without buffering. The hotel offers Internet [LAN] too if you're a hardcore wired kind of person.

Cleanliness and Safety - Because We Gotta Live, Right?

This is where Cherry Homes actually surprised me. They legit take cleanliness seriously. They definitely used Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Rooms sanitized between stays. I saw staff constantly wiping things down. They provided Hand sanitizer everywhere. It's reassuring, you know, in a world that feels like it's constantly battling something. Hygiene certification definitely seemed to be a thing, which is a huge plus. They even offer Room sanitization opt-out available! Nice touch! Cashless payment service? Yep. Staff trained in safety protocol? Seemed like it. Safe dining setup? Yup. They are also really, really committed to the COVID protocols. The Physical distancing of at least 1 meter was actually happening. Felt safe. The CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, Fire extinguisher, Front desk [24-hour], Safety/security feature, Security [24-hour], Smoke alarms, Soundproof rooms all added to the feeling of security.

The Rooms (Available in All Rooms, Amenities galore)

Alright, the rooms! Where do I even begin? They were… comfortable. Not mind-blowing, but perfectly adequate. Air conditioning? Check. Blackout curtains? YES! I needed those. Complimentary tea and Free bottled water? Bonus points!

Here’s a rambling thought, the bathroom was pretty decent. The Mirror was a good size. Toiletries were provided, which is always a win since I always forget to bring my own! I loved the Bathrobes and the Slippers! Wake-up service? Worked like a charm. Daily housekeeping kept things shipshape.

Did the room leave me breathless with awe? Not exactly. But it was clean, comfortable, and had most of the essentials. The Seating area was nice, the Desk was a decent size, I was able to use the Laptop workspace, and they had Internet access – wireless. In other words, I could actually work.

Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - Food, Glorious Food (and the Random Bits)

Okay, let's talk food. This is where Cherry Homes gets interesting. They have a range of dining options which included options for Breakfast [buffet]. They also offered Asian breakfast and Western breakfast. They also had a Coffee shop. The Poolside bar was a great place to chill. I am not going to lie, I love a Happy hour!

I had a bit of a messy experience at the Asian cuisine in restaurant. I was really hangry after a long day. I ordered the nasi goreng. And while the ambiance was charming, the food was not what I was expecting. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't mind-blowing either. It totally filled me up. And that's what mattered at that moment.

They have the obligatory Restaurants and Room service [24-hour]. I'd give the food situation a solid "meh."

Things to Do & Ways to Relax - Spa Day?? (Spa/Sauna/Pools)

Here's the good stuff, folks! Cherry Homes actually shines in the relaxation department! They have a Swimming pool [outdoor] with a Pool with view. The water was refreshing, and it was a great place to unwind.

And the Spa! OH, the spa! I splurged on a Body scrub. It was bliss! The therapist was amazing. I felt like a new person afterwards. Body wrap was offered too. They also have a Sauna, Steamroom, and Foot bath. They take relaxation seriously.

There's a Fitness center if you're into that sort of thing, and a Gym/fitness. I'd be lying if I said I used them.

Services and Conveniences - The Little Things That Matter

Alright, the extras. They had a Concierge (very helpful). Laundry service was speedy and efficient. There's a Convenience store if you need a snack. I appreciated the Cash withdrawal. The Dry cleaning service was convenient. Luggage storage, thank goodness!

For the Kids (Family/child friendly/Babysitting service)

This place seems to be aimed at families as well, with Family/child friendly amenities, including Kids meal. I didn't use the Babysitting service, but it's there.

The Quirks - Because Nothing's Perfect

Okay, here are my little observations.

The "Happy Hour" drinks weren't exactly happy with their pricing.
The elevator was a little slow. Sometimes it felt like ages, especially when I was starving.
I loved the Non-smoking rooms, I hate that smell.
The Staff are trained in safety protocol and are very friendly. They also provide Invoice provided.

The Cherry Homes Hotel and Residence Bandung Indonesia

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's itinerary. This is Bandung, baby! and it's gonna be less "perfectly curated travel magazine" and more "slightly caffeinated chaotic adventure." I'm talking Cherry Homes Hotel and Residence, Bandung, Indonesia. Let's see if we survive…

Itinerary: The Cherry Homes Hotel & The Bandung Blitz (aka, Pray for My Sanity)

Day 1: Arrival & Mild Panic (Welcome to Indonesia!)

1:00 PM: Landed in Bandung. Okay, first impressions: humidity. Loads of it. And a cacophony of horns the likes of which I've only seen in movies. The airport seemed…surprisingly functional, actually. I was expecting some Indiana Jones-esque adventure to retrieve my luggage, but smooth sailing! Got a taxi to the Cherry Homes.
1:45 PM: Taxi ride. The city. My God. It's a swirling, vibrant, slightly overwhelming tapestry of motorbikes, vendors, and colourful buildings. I swear, I saw a chicken riding on top of a motorbike. I think my brain short-circuited.
2:30 PM: Checked into Cherry Homes. First impressions? Clean. Surprisingly spacious (good for the inevitable luggage explosion I'll create). The lobby smells faintly of jasmine, which, okay, I can get behind. The staff? Super friendly. Smiles everywhere! Maybe a bit too smiley. Are they secretly judging my jet lag hair? Probably.
3:00 PM: Unpacked (half-heartedly). Okay, I'm already regretting the five pairs of shoes. What was I thinking?
3:30 PM - 5:00 PM: The Pool Debacle. (This deserves its own section. This is a CORE EXPERIENCE, like, core). The pool looked amazing online. Gleaming blue water, lush greenery… reality? Slightly different. The water was…well, it was a shade of blue. And the greenery was…pretty much non-existent. I tried to brave an hour in the pool, but the sheer volume of other people left me feeling like a sardine. I gave up, the water was oddly cold. I even lost my goggles and couldn't locate them! The pool, 1/10. Definitely not a highlight. More like a warning.
6:00 PM: Dinner at the hotel restaurant. Tried the Nasi Goreng. Delicious. I swear, I could eat that stuff daily! The portion was enough to feed a small army, which is perfect, because I'm STARVING after that pool.
7:30 PM: Attempted to watch TV. Mostly just static. Then, I think I fell asleep. Jet lag’s a cruel mistress.

Day 2: Culture Shock and Coffee (And More Horns)

8:00 AM: Breakfast at the hotel. The buffet is a goldmine. Pancakes, fruit I can't even name, and the coffee, ugh, the coffee. It's strong. It's bold. It's going to keep me awake for the next 24 hours, but worth it.
9:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Explore the city. Okay, so the plan was a "gentle stroll." What actually happened was a panicked sprint through the crowded streets. There’s a market filled with every conceivable fruit (and some I really didn't want to look at) and a maze of shops, all selling things I don't need, but suddenly desperately crave. Haggling is an art form here. I think I got fleeced, but hey, I got a brightly colored scarf! (I will never wear it)
12:00 PM: Lunch at a local warung (small, family-run restaurant). Ate something I think was chicken. Delicious, again! The heat, though. It's relentless. I'm sweating so much I'm pretty sure I'm contributing to the local humidity.
1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Siesta at the hotel. Bliss. Pure, unadulterated bliss. I think I heard the neighbor's kids, but I didn't care.
3:00 PM: Coffee craving hits. So, I venture out, get hopelessly lost by the end.
3:30 PM- 5:00 PM: Coffee break. Found a cute little cafe down the street. Espresso for me, it was perfect and well-deserved.
6:00 PM: Dinner again at the hotel. Seriously considering just living here, eating Nasi Goreng 24/7.
7:00 PM: Watching Indonesian television. I can't understand a single word, but the melodrama is amazing. It's like a soap opera on steroids.

Day 3: Tangkuban Perahu (Volcano!), Some Shopping, and a Potential Meltdown

8:00 AM: Breakfast! Got enough protein to deal with the day ahead!
9:00 AM - 2:00 PM: Excursion to Tangkuban Perahu Volcano. Okay, here we go. This trip included many taxis, motorbikes, small local drivers, and a LOT of uphill walking (good use of the protein, I hope!). The volcano itself? Breathtaking. The smell of sulfur? Less so. The souvenir vendors? Relentless. I bought a hat. I'm starting to have a problem. Everything is beautiful.
2:00 PM: Back to the hotel. Exhausted. Sweaty. Slightly traumatized by the sheer steepness of the terrain. But, hey, I saw a volcano!
3:00 PM - 5:00 PM: More attempts to chill by the pool. Still sardine level, unfortunately. So, I opted for reading my book in the hotel lobby.
5:30 PM - 7:00 PM: "Last minute" shopping. Got back. More things I don’t probably need, like a beautiful hat. Shopping is apparently how I deal with stress?
7:30 PM Dinner at the hotel. I think I’m starting to become friends with the staff.

Day 4: Departure (And a Sad Farewell to Nasi Goreng)

8:00 AM: One last breakfast. Savoring every bite of that Nasi Goreng, knowing I'll miss it.
9:00 AM: Packed. (Mostly). The luggage situation is a ticking time bomb, but I'll address that later.
10:00 AM: Strolling the area, hoping to catch a glimpse of life around Bandung.
11:00 AM: Taxi to the airport.
12:00 AM: Goodbye, Bandung! You were a chaotic, beautiful, overwhelming delight! I'm exhausted, slightly broke, and I have a suitcase full of questionable souvenirs, but I wouldn't trade this experience.

Final Thoughts:

The Cherry Homes Hotel and Residence was a decent basecamp. The pool, while disappointing, didn't ruin everything. I'd go back, yeah. The staff were lovely, the food was delicious, and honestly, the whole experience was a delightful, slightly messy adventure. Bandung? You are officially on my list of "places to return to, but perhaps with a bit more preparation and a smaller suitcase".

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need a nap. And maybe another cup of that amazing Indonesian coffee. And definitely a long shower.

The Cherry Homes Hotel and Residence Bandung IndonesiaOkay, buckle up. This is going to be less "FAQ" and more "My Brain Dump on..." You've been warned. Here we go:

So, like, what is this whole... thing... anyway?

Ugh, where do I even *begin*? Seriously. It's like... imagine your brain, right? And then someone takes a really, *really* good blender, and just... whirls. And then tries to reconstruct it using bits and bobs. Okay, maybe that's melodramatic. But it's a lot. It's about sorting the chaos, understanding the why, and then deciding if *any* of it's worth the effort. It's a never-ending quest, really.

And why is it... important? Like, what's the Big Deal?

Important? Probably not *that* important, let's be real. Look, the world keeps turning whether this happens or not. But, for *me...* It *has* got me out of a few deep, dark holes. Like, seriously, I was facing a complete meltdown a while back— job, relationship, you name it. I started doing *this* and it kind of... gave me something to focus on. A point. A distraction. And then, slowly, it... helped me understand myself a little better, and everything else didn't seem quite so overwhelming. So, yeah. Big deal to *me*. Don't expect a parade if you start though.

Okay, okay, so you're saying anyone can do this? Like, even me?

Look, I am the least qualified person to give advice. Probably. But yeah, I guess anyone *can*. You don't need a fancy degree or a special talent. You just need... time. And a willingness to look at yourself (and possibly the world) with a critical, sometimes brutal, eye. It's the *doing* that's hard. The staring-into-the-void part... That can hit pretty hard. But hey, at least you'll be bored with your own reflections.

What's the hardest part? Be honest.

The hardest part? Ugh. Honestly? Being *honest*. With *yourself*. That's it. No fancy techniques, just raw, unfiltered truth. Lies are easy, and everyone wants to believe their own lies. But eventually, they eat you alive. You have to be willing to face the ugly stuff, the embarrassing stuff, the stuff you'd rather bury and forget. And that's a gut punch, every single time. I *still* struggle with it.

What if I screw up? Is there, like, a 'wrong' way? (Asking for a friend…really.)

Screwing up? Oh, honey, you *will*. Consider it inevitable. There's no "wrong" but there are definitely... unproductive tangents. Like that time I spent *three hours* comparing the existential dread of a bad haircut with the existential dread of, well, everything else. I learned nothing that day. Zip. I do not recommend that. Just pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and *try again*. Failure is just another chapter, right? Yeah, that's what they say. Easier said than done, in my experience.

Does this actually work? Like, does it... help?

Here's my super-scientific, statistically sound answer: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Sometimes. Yeah. It helps. Honestly. It's not a miracle, it’s more like... a slow, painful peeling back of the layers. A bit like pulling a band-aid off a really hairy arm. You know it’s going to suck for a second, but then it's over. It helped me with that job I was fired from (maybe I was not the best fit, but I digress), relationship, got me to start speaking without the crippling anxiety. It's not a magic bullet. Don't expect to suddenly transform into Wonder Person. But it *can* provide some clarity... and sometimes, that's enough to keep you from completely falling apart.

Okay, but what about the boring practical stuff? Where do I start?

Ugh, the logistics. Right. Okay, this is where I REALLY fall apart. Mostly because, well, I'm not organized. But I guess… keep it simple. Start small. One idea at a time. Don't try to boil the ocean. I started with… what *did* I start with? Oh, right. A notebook. And a pen that I *really* liked. Seriously, the pen is important. You're going to be spending a lot of time with it. Then, just... write. Whatever comes to mind. Don't worry about making sense at first. The point is just to get *something* down. And maybe keep the pen somewhere you can find it the next day. I can't tell you how many times I've lost *that* pen.

I feel like I'm just repeating myself. Is that normal? Is there something wrong with me?

Oh, honey, YES. Absolutely. You'll circle the same ideas, same anxieties, same stupid arguments with your parents. It's incredibly frustrating, and you'll probably feel like you're going insane. But it's also…kind of…normal. Think of it like… well, it's a way of refining your thoughts, like polishing a stone. Each time you revisit something, you might see it a little differently. And maybe, just maybe, you'll learn something new. Or at least, you'll be able to articulate the same frustration with *slightly* more finesse. I'm still working on that part.

Is it... lonely? Does anyone else… get it?

Oh, the loneliness. Yeah. It can be. Because you're delving into stuff that you might not be able to share with everyone. Because sometimes, you just have to sit with your own, slightly messed-up thoughts. You might find that people don't *get* it; they might think you're being weird, or navel-gazing, or just plain dramatic. Honestly, I get it. But there are others. (I'm not sure where they are, exactly, but I *know*). And even if it's just you and a notebook, sometimes that's enough. It's still... better than being alone in the dark, yeah?.
