Hotel in Pangandaran With a Beach View - Just Menong

It's been a long time; Zauji and I planned to heal at the beach. Since we have not visited Pangandaran for a long time, Zauji and I intend to spend the Eid holiday touring Pangandaran as well. Thank God it turned out that this plan was realized even before Eid arrived. I and Zauji are looking for information about the affordable beach view Pangandaran hotel.

Pangandaran Beach

Reported from various sources, Pangandaran is famous for the stretch of beach stretched along 91 km overlooking the Indonesian Ocean. Wow, amazing, isn't it?

In addition, based on the study, most of the land in Pangandaran was originally an ocean bed. The land of Pangandaran was formed when Mount Krakatau erupted in 1825, so it can be said that the soil structure is an embossed area.

Although I have visited Pangandaran several times, I myself am still confused with the area. Moreover, almost certainly I just sat sweetly throughout the trip and got down directly at the inn.

Different things happened in this month of Ramadan, when I suddenly got a job in Hawaii, Van West Java. And of course, Zauji and I are welcome with pleasure because finally our ideals are realized. On the other hand, this time we had to find our own transportation and a place to stay. Because this trip was done on the weekend, Zauji was excited to accompany me.

In the past, I didn't pay much attention to Pangandaran's geographical map. For me, the beach in Pangandaran is only one, but it turns out when looking for lodging, then I 'ngeh' there are two different beaches that are pointing to the tourist area.

West Beach and East Beach are both favorites of tourists because of the uniqueness that will make it easier for Menong friends to distinguish the two. For Menong friends who like to hunt for 'sunrises,' the East Coast can be the best spot, while the West Coast can be a friend of Menong's choice as a place to enjoy the beauty of the 'sunset.'

Hotels in Pangandaran

Due to limited time, we are looking for transportation and hotel Pandaran beach views that are included in our budget through the Blue application. We realize that, of course, it is not easy to find hotels in tourist areas with relatively cheap prices, especially on the weekend.

It’s just that because of the atmosphere of Ramadan, the hotel rate is not as high as usual. Still cannot imagine the difference between the West Coast and East Coast. We chose a hotel located on the West Coast with the consideration of activities carried out in a hotel that is also located on the West Coast.

Hotel Horison Palma

Who doesn’t know the Horizon Hotel? This international hotel with a local feel is in many cities in Indonesia. This 3- to 5-star hotel is already known as a hotel with superior service.

Hotel Horison Palma is located on West Coast Street No. 91, Pangandaran Area, West Coast, Pangandaran, not far from Pangandaran Nature Reserve.

Under normal conditions, the rate of this hotel, especially in the tourist area, will be far from our reach. But unlike in this month of Ramadan, when there are not many tourists who vacation, Hotel Horison gives a rate beyond our expectations. When under normal conditions, the rate for a Deluxe Room that includes breakfast is in the range of Rp. 800,000–Rp. 1,000,000; this month of Ramadan, the rate drops to below Rp. 600,000 and includes free breakfast (a complete menu in the restaurant that, of course, you can imagine the taste of) and dinner (there are 2 menu options from 4 available menus) for 2 pax. Rooms that are directly facing the beach have a higher rate. In addition, a free minibar is available on the first day.

One of the tricks to get cheap that Menong friends can do is to vacation and stay in Pangandaran on weekdays or weekdays when not many tourists visit.

In addition to being right in dealing with the West Coast, other facilities are certainly standard, such as rooms with a large area of 28 m², a gym, wifi and cable TV, a swimming pool, and a location not far from the culinary row, souvenir shops typical of Pangandaran, and a mosque located right behind the hotel (this is Zauji's favorite choice).

Because it is located not far from the forest, the hotel attendant reminds us not to forget to close the window when leaving the room because there are still many forest monkeys that roam and often ‘slap’ into the room.

Grand Aquarium Pangandaran

This hotel is located adjacent to Hotel Horison Palma and is only on separate empty land with the address of Jl. West Coast No. 87 Pangandaran, West Coast, Pangandaran.

It looks not so big, but this hotel has a high occupancy rate.

No wonder, because in addition to this, the hotel is included in the Pangandaran Beach View Hotel, which is much-loved because it has a swimming pool that is quite spacious with a water boom so it is quite interesting as a family choice.

With a rate that is almost the same as Hotel Horison Palma, Menong’s friends can get a wider room with 2 double beds that can be filled by 4 guests. In addition, there is a balcony, which adds a plus.

Krisna Beach Hotel  

This is one of the hotels with high occupancy rates. There are two Krisna Beach Hotels on the West Coast, namely Krisna Beach Hotel 1, located on Jalan Pantai Barat No. 21, Pangandaran, West Coast, Pangandaran, which is in the form of a unique ship design, and Krisna Beach Hotel 2, located on JL. Scout No. 13, Pangandaran, West Coast, Pangandaran.

If Menong's friends intend to see the sunset, Krisna Beach Hotel 1 is an option because it is not far from Pangandaran Sunset Park.

There are many beach-view food hotels located on the West Coast and East Coast with a variety of rates. From the results of the survey, the price or rate of hotels in Pangandaran is not much different from each other.

In addition to the rate, Menong friends also need to pay attention to the facilities offered, such as the availability of air conditioning/fans, free breakfast or not, wifi and TV (if needed), room size (especially when carrying families), locations, and other facilities such as swimming pools. It’s strange; sometimes children will love to swim back in the hotel pool even though they have been melting swimming on the beach.

Don’t forget to review every hotel that you will choose. One of our habits is to call the hotel to ask for the availability of rooms, rates, views that we want, the number of breakfast packages, and special requests such as bed types (in particular, we choose double instead of single/twin beds) and non-smoking rooms.

Alhamdulillah, even though the time is limited, this time we have time to walk with a borrowed motorbike to the Red Bridge, the bridge connecting the Cikidang fish landing port with the East Coast area, which is a 'ngehits' spot for tourists.

And finally we were both able to distinguish the West Coast and the same beautiful East Coast. Reporting from mypangandaran.com, the contours of the two can be distinguished easily.

The West Coast has a wider and more beautiful stretch of beach, so it is comfortable to use as a play and swimming area. The East Coast itself experienced a massive abrasion so that the beach area shrank far enough to make the area narrow. But make no mistake, Menong's friends will only find watersports such as jet skiing and banana boating on the East Coast.

If on the East Coast, Menong’s friends are treated to a view of a row of colorful fishermen’s boats that are bobbing in the waves, then on the West Coast, Menong’s friends can play in the sand as much as possible or just walk leisurely, enjoying the breakwaters. With a location in the opposite direction and connected to the mainland, that becomes a line of shops, lodgings, and public facilities such as toilets and mosques.

Menong's friends can also take a boat and stop at Pananjung Beach, which is famous for its white sand. Not much different from Trikora Beach on Bintan Island, this beach is no less amazing.

And it turns out that the best Pangandaran beach view hotel is indeed located on the West Coast. In addition to adjusting the budget, of course, comfort is an important basis for having fun with family while enjoying the beauty of one of the proud beaches of the archipelago.
