Unbelievable Vila Amerta: My Yogyakarta Dream (Maybe…?) - A Raw & Real Review 🤯
Okay, so, Unbelievable Vila Amerta: Your Yogyakarta Dream Getaway Awaits! That’s the tagline, right? Bold words. Yogyakarta is already dreamy, with its temples and batik and food that makes your taste buds do a happy dance. But does Vila Amerta live up to the hype? Buckle up, because this isn't your typical, sterile hotel review. Prepare for some real talk.
First Impressions & Accessibility (Or, The Great Elevator Adventure)
Finding the place? Easy-peasy. Yogyakarta, as a city goes, is pretty navigable. Accessing Unbelievable Vila Amerta itself, however, was where things got a little… interesting. I'm not going to lie, I was sweating bullets thinking about what to expect when I saw the elevator sign. I’m not traveling with a wheelchair, but the hotel's promise of facilities for guests with disabilities, especially those wanting to enjoy the Swimming pool [outdoor] and the Pool with view, was music to my ears. So, I really dug how the elevator worked, but even for someone without mobility issues, it might cause a double take. The Elevator was a bit slow, and the buttons were a little dusty but that was the only minor issue I could find because I really wanted to enjoy the views from the top.
Cleanliness & Safety (Because Who Wants to Catch a Germs-Fest?)
Okay, this is where Unbelievable Vila Amerta really shines. I’m a bit of a germaphobe (don't judge!), so the whole Covid thing has me on high alert. They really went the extra mile. Big kudos for the Anti-viral cleaning products, the Daily disinfection in common areas, and the fact that Rooms are sanitized between stays. Seriously, I felt like I could roll around on the floor (okay, maybe not, but you get the idea!). The Staff trained in safety protocol were always wearing masks and looked like they knew what they were doing. They even had Hand sanitizer EVERYWHERE. Also, they had Hygiene certification posted, which calmed those anxieties. They also had First aid kit and a Doctor/nurse on call, which is amazing. This is really good because you never know when someone might be injured.
The Room: My Little Sanctuary (Except for That Minor Hiccup…)
Alright, let's talk about the core: the room. Mine had a High floor, a lovely Window that opens (fresh air, YES!), and a killer view. The Air conditioning blasted arctic air (my personal heaven). Loved the Free bottled water – seriously, hydration is key! The Bed was super comfortable after a long day of exploring Borobudur Temple and Prambanan Temple. The Bathtub was HUGE, which was nice because I could do a little detox session while watching some movies. They had all rooms equipped with non-smoking rooms. They also included the best of the best Additional toilet.
I did find the Complimentary tea, but I did not find the teabags. My first day I came back to the room and found my slippers in a weird place. They took the Slippers from my room into the room of the person next door by accident, and I found that weird.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (My Stomach is Doing the Tango!)
Okay, let's be honest: I came to Yogyakarta to eat. And Vila Amerta did not disappoint. The Breakfast [buffet] was a glorious spread of Indonesian and Western options. Loved the Asian breakfast and the Coffee/tea in restaurant. I had the most amazing Soup in restaurant and the Desserts in restaurant were to die for. I saw that they offered Kids meal, which is nice for families. They also had a Snack bar and a Poolside bar for when you want something quick.
The Spa & Relaxation (I Became a Blob of Bliss)
This is where Vila Amerta truly earned its “dream getaway” stripes. I got a Body scrub and a Massage, and I swear, I left feeling like I was floating. The Sauna was seriously steamy, the Spa/sauna was heavenly. I’m not usually a spa person, but this place converted me. They also had a Steamroom and a Foot bath, the spa was really good!
Things to Do (More Than Just Lazing Around!)
Besides all the relaxing stuff, there was plenty to keep me busy. The Fitness center was well-equipped (though I only looked at it… hey, vacation!). They had an area for Indoor venue for special events and Outdoor venue for special events. You could also relax at this Shrine, if you want. Plus, the staff were super helpful with arranging tours and transport. They have Business facilities with a Xerox/fax in business center, I saw a lot of people using this. They had Bike parking, which is super cool. They also have Car park [free of charge], which is a very positive thing.
Internet: Finally, No More Internet Woes!
Okay, this is huge. As a digital nomad (or at least, someone who pretends to be one), reliable internet is a must. Praise the Wi-Fi gods! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! and Wi-Fi in public areas was a godsend. I was able to get my work done (or at least, pretend I was working) with ease. You know, because the Internet was available, I got all the work done. The Internet services were high quality. You can also check it out with the Internet [LAN]!
Services and Conveniences (Because Life Should Be Easy)
The hotel offers a bunch of services to make your stay smoother: Currency exchange, Laundry service, Dry cleaning, etc. Contactless check-in/out, which I appreciated. They also had a useful Concierge. The Daily housekeeping was impeccable. They will also give an Invoice provided if you need it!
For the Kids (If You’re Traveling with Tiny Humans)
They seemed very Family/child friendly.
Negative Experiences (Because It’s Not All Sunshine and Roses)
- My Biggest Gripe: A Little Room Decoration Malfunction: I’m not sure what happened there, but I did not agree with the Room decorations.
My Recommendation (The Verdict)
Overall, would I recommend Unbelievable Vila Amerta? Absolutely. It's not perfect (no place is!), but the positives far outweigh the negatives. The staff are lovely, the spa is amazing, the food is delicious, and the overall vibe is relaxing.

Indonesian Luxury: Unbelievable Views from Studio24 @ The Jarrdin Cihampelas!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups. This isn't your pristine, bullet-pointed travel itinerary. This is me, basically vomiting my Yogyakarta adventure onto the page, warts and all. Vila Amerta, here we come (or rather, here I came… because, you know, this is retrospective. Ugh, the planning…).
Vila Amerta: Yogyakarta - A Messy, Beautiful, and Probably Slightly Sunburned Week
Day 1: Arrival & Initial Mild Panicky Confusion (and the Search for the Perfect Sate)
Morning (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM - or, approximately whenever my internal alarm decided to give up on sleep): Arrived at Yogyakarta International Airport. The humidity slapped me in the face like a wet, friendly… well, you get the idea. Pre-trip anxiety, that delightful companion, immediately reared its ugly head. Did I pack enough sunscreen? (Spoiler alert: No. Never.) Were my Indonesian Ruipah withdrawals working??? Did I understand the customs forms (I did not, but luckily a very kind airport worker took pity and helped – bless them.)
Morning (9:00 AM - 11:00 AM): Taxi to Vila Amerta. The drive was a chaotic symphony of mopeds, overloaded trucks, and the tantalizing scent of… everything. My jaw dropped – the villa was GORGEOUS. Lush, green, the kind of place you see in travel brochures and think, "Yeah, right." Turns out, actually right. Spent a solid hour wandering around, utterly speechless, then promptly tripped over a garden gnome. (He’s fine). Initial impression: This is going to be harder to mess up than I initially thought.
Afternoon (11:00 AM - 3:00 PM): Settled in the room, unpacked (minimally. Procrastination is my middle name). Attempted to navigate the villa's amazing pool (successfully). Then, the most important quest began: Lunch. And specifically, sate. My research – a frantic Googling session the night before – pointed me towards a place called "Pak Pong's" that someone described as "legendary". Finding it? A hilarious odyssey involving a helpful local, a dodgy motorbike taxi driver, and me pointing vaguely in the direction of… everywhere. Finally there! (My mouth is drooling as I recall this). Sate was amazing. So good, I almost forgot I was sweating profusely and covered in that fine layer of Jakarta dust.
Afternoon (3:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Pool time, finally! Successfully got the picture in the swimming pool as well, haha! Spent a good amount of time reading, drinking some local fruit juice and getting to know the other guests.
Evening (5:00 PM - 9:00 PM): Sunset drinks at the villa (heavenly). Dinner at Bale Raos (Sultan's palace restaurant). It was fancy. I felt a little awkward but the food was incredible, and the ambiance was amazing. Ended the night with a Bintang (local beer) on my balcony, listening to the sounds of the city.
Day 2: Temples and Temples and Oh, More Temples (and a Near-Death Experience with Javanese Coffee)
- Morning (7:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Sunrise at Borobudur Temple. (Okay, I know I said things get messy, but even I can’t mess up something as awe-inspiring as that.) It was breathtaking. Absolutely stunning. I had a moment of pure, unadulterated bliss… and almost got trampled by a flock of camera-wielding tourists. Pro tip: Wear comfortable shoes. Also, book a tour guide unless you want to wander around aimlessly (which, let’s be honest, is exactly what I did for a while). The sheer scale of the temple is mind-boggling. Spent the rest of the morning exploring.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM): Lunch, a quick freshen-up, and a desperate search for more sunscreen. (Still didn’t buy enough). Then, off to Prambanan Temple. Frankly, after Borobudur, it was a bit… less impressive, but still beautiful in its own right. The sheer amount of history in these places is overwhelming. Started to get a bit temple-d out. (Sorry, temples!). Also, seriously considering investing in a wide-brimmed hat.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Decided to brave the Javanese coffee. The waiter warned me it was strong. I scoffed. I am a coffee aficionado! I could handle it! Oh, how wrong I was. It was like drinking tar, mixed with rocket fuel. My heart rate doubled, and I started to see colors that do not appear on the human spectrum. Spent the next hour hyperventilating and trying to find a cure. (Eventually, a bottle of water did the trick. Maybe I should have ordered the tea).
- Evening (5:00 PM -9:00 PM): Rest and recover at Vila Amerta. Dinner in the villa. So many mosquitoes. Seriously, are they breeding in my sweat? Watched a movie on my iPad (couldn’t focus on a thing!).
Day 3: Sultan's Palace, Batik, and an Unexpected Karaoke Adventure.
- Morning (9:00 AM -12:00 PM): Visited the Kraton (Sultan's Palace). A fascinating glimpse into Javanese royalty. It’s all very ornate, and intricate. I got a serious case of wanderlust just by walking around the palace.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM): Batik class! I have zero artistic talent. My attempt at a batik design looked like a Jackson Pollock painting that had been accidentally dropped in a puddle of ink. But, you know, it was fun! (And I did manage to create something vaguely resembling a turtle, which I’m calling a win.)
- Afternoon (3:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Shopping for souvenirs. The Malioboro Street is a madhouse, but I survived. Negotiating prices is an art form. I learned that "no" in every language is a surprisingly effective phrase after being pushed around the market by a plethora of aggressive sales people.
- Evening (5:00 PM - LATE): Dinner at a local restaurant. Then… karaoke. This was not in the plan. But a group of us from the villa decided to hit a karaoke bar. My singing voice is best described as "a dying cat". The Indonesians's? Amazing. We sang a lot, laughed even more. This was the best.
Day 4: The Waterfalls and a Day of Recharging
- Morning (8:00 AM - 1:00 PM): Went to the beautiful waterfalls and the lush green forest. The road was long, and dusty, and I got a bit car sick. This was worth it. I spent a few hours just staring at the landscape, this was amazing!
- Afternoon (1:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Took a nap, and a relaxing time at the villa. (I was so exhausted).
- Evening (5:00 PM - 9:00 PM): Started Packing, and spent some time with new friends.
Day 5: Departure (… with a Heavy Heart and a Sunburn)
- Morning (8:00 AM): Last breakfast at Villa Amerta. Grateful for the friendly staff, the amazing food, and the beautiful ambiance of this space.
- Morning (9:00 AM): Departed for the airport. Said goodbye to this beautiful island with mixed emotions. I'll be back!
Final Thoughts:
Yogyakarta isn't just a pretty place. It’s a sensory overload, a chaotic symphony of culture, history, and delicious, spicy food. It’s hot, it’s noisy, it’s dusty, and sometimes, it’s utterly exhausting. But it's also incredibly beautiful, and the people are so friendly. I came with expectations, and was blown away! It’s the kind of place that leaves you wanting more. I left with a sunburn, a slightly burnt-out bank account, and a heart full of stories. And, probably, a lifelong addiction to sate. (Worth it).
P.S. Still no hat. Lesson learned.

So, like, what *is* this thing anyway? You know... the *topic* we're supposedly talking about?
Okay, fine, let's get the basics out of the way. *[Insert Topic Here]* is... well, *it depends*. Seriously! It could be a thing, a concept, a place, a person, a feeling... You get the picture. In its purest form, it’s probably something like... Imagine a particularly fluffy cloud. Now, imagine that cloud can... do things. That's kind of the general idea. But the specifics? Oh, the specifics are where things get *interesting*. Get ready to wade through a swamp of nuance, because, well, that's life, right?
Is it actually worth my time? I'm busy, ya know.
Look, I'm not your mother. I can't tell you what to do with your life. But... if you're even *asking* this question, there's probably a little voice in your head that's already intrigued. And that little voice? That's the one you should listen to. Because honestly? Sometimes, the things that seem like a waste of time are the ones that end up being the most unexpectedly, surprisingly, *life-altering* experiences. Think of the time you spent three hours scrolling through cat videos. Did it change the world? No. Did it bring you a moment of pure, unadulterated joy? Maybe. And in this crazy, chaotic world, isn't that enough? Do *[Topic]* if you want to, don't if you don't. No pressure!
Okay, okay, I'm in. What's the *hardest* part about dealing with *[Topic]*?
Oh, *the hardest part*? That's easy. For me personally, the hardest part of dealing with *[Topic]* is... *everything*. Kidding (sort of!). No, seriously, for me, the biggest hurdle is actually *starting*. The sheer weight of *something you think is really hard here* is just, well, it's *stark*. I mean, it's like staring at a blank canvas, but the canvas is made of pure, unadulterated *[something that is hard here]* and you're holding a brush dipped in absolute *[Something even harder here]*. It’s a recipe for paralysis. I remember this one time... ugh, it was three years ago... I was supposed to...[Dumb mistake related to the topic]. And it all just crumbled right in front of me. The pressure, the fear... I just froze. It was mortifying. And then... well, let's just say there were tears.
What's the *best* part, then? Gotta be *something* good, right?
Ah, the *best* part. Okay, yeah, there *is* a best part. And it's... oh man, it's that moment of pure, unadulterated *triumph*. Or maybe just relief. When you finally, *actually*, get something to work. When you overcome the *[obstacle related to topic]* and you finally *get it*. The feeling of accomplishment is... well, it's worth all the head-banging frustration. It's like... remember that time when [Insert a small personal triumph here, even if it's not related to the topic directly, something relatable and silly, e.g., "I finally assembled that Ikea bookshelf without crying"?]. Yeah, it's that. And it's glorious. Especially when you get to tell everyone about it afterward. The bragging rights are... well, they're part of the joy.
How do I even *begin*? I'm lost before I start!
Okay, okay, deep breaths. You want to start? The single most important thing is to *start*. Procrastinating makes everything harder. Just. Start. Don’t worry about being perfect. Don't worry about all the "what-ifs." Just...try something. My advice? Do *[Specific first step related to topic]* first. It’s a good entry point. It makes sense, right? See how the thing *[topic related]*. And then, step by step. Seriously, that's the magic formula. And if you mess up? You will. Everyone does. It’s a fact of life.
Are there any common *mistakes* to avoid? I'd rather not repeat your three-year-old fiasco.
Oh, *yes*. There most certainly are. Learn from my mistakes, please! Avoid *[Common mistake 1 related to topic]*. Seriously, it's a trap. Don't do that. And absolutely *do NOT*[Common mistake 2 related to topic]. That one will mess you up, guaranteed. And this is the big one: Don't compare yourself to other people! Seriously! They're *probably* faking it *anyway*. I mean, [Make a slightly cynical, but true statement about humans, e.g., "we all just want to look good on the internet"]. Just focus on *your* journey, at your own pace. You're a beautiful snowflake, remember?
What are the *biggest myths* surrounding this topic?
Oh, the *myths*! Where do I even *begin*? Okay, myth number one: *[Myth 1 related to topic].* Utter nonsense. Myth number two: *[Myth 2 related to topic]*. Completely wrong. And the biggest one of all: *[Biggest and most destructive myth related to topic]*. That's the one that'll trip you up every single time. It's all based on a misunderstanding of [brief explanation]. Honestly, people are just making it up. Sometimes I wish I didn't have to hear about it!
Is there a *secret weapon*? A life hack to make it all... easier?
Look, there's no magic wand. Sorry. But if there *was* a secret weapon, it would be *[a practical, maybe slightly unconventional tip for the topic]*. Sounds silly, but trust me. It has to do with [briefly explain how the tip works]. Oh, and one more thing thatWhere To Stay Now
