WaterBoom Lippo Cikarang Getaway: Book Your RedDoorz Now!
Waterboom Lippo Cikarang Getaway: Buckle Up, It's a Ride! (and Book Your RedDoorz Now!)
Okay, let's be real. Planning a getaway can be a total minefield. You've got the stress of booking, the worry about where to book, and then the constant fear of ending up in one of those hotels that smells suspiciously of old socks and broken dreams. But I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Waterboom Lippo Cikarang, and you know what? It wasn't that bad! (Mostly.) And hey, you can snag a RedDoorz booking now! Let's dive in, shall we?
(A Quick Note: This is going to be a bit, uh… real. Think less brochure, more raw, unfiltered experience. Buckle up.)
First Impression: The Accessibility Angle - (Did I mention I'm not in a wheelchair, but my Uncle Harry is, so I always look for this!)
Alright, first things first: Accessibility. This is HUGE for many people. I poked around and saw some stuff for disabled guests. They advertise elevators. Thank you, because elevator are a godsend for someone like my Aunt Carol who's got a dodgy knee. They say they have facilities for disabled guests, which is a good start, but I didn't see any super specific things to gush about. Now, I didn't personally need any of those things, but hey, it's something to keep in mind. A truly accessible space is always a plus in my book.
Internet, Glorious Internet! (Or, the Daily Struggle for Wi-Fi)
Okay, let’s talk internet. Because in this day and age, if you can’t get online, are you even living? They advertise free Wi-Fi in all rooms, which is a BIG win. And they also have Internet access [LAN]. Bless! Now, honestly, during my stay, the Wi-Fi was… a little temperamental at times. Imagine trying to stream something and it buffering… constantly. It was a minor annoyance, especially when I was trying to work. But hey, it’s there, and most of the time, it worked. But they also have internet through LAN, which is great!
What's Up, Buttercup? (Things to Do, Ways to Relax, and the Spa-ish Adventures)
Waterboom Lippo Cikarang isn't just a hotel, it's a gateway to, well, Waterboom! That's the main draw, and for good reason. But let's get to the other stuff.
- Things to do, ways to relax: They've got a swimming pool (outdoor, thankfully – hello sunshine!). There's a fitness center and a gym/fitness setup, which I always scope out, but I'm not gonna lie, I mostly just admired it from afar. The allure of the pool was much stronger!
- Spa? Spa, Maybe?: They have a spa/sauna and offer massage. I skipped the full spa experience, but the idea of a sauna after a long day splashing around sounds divine. Maybe next time!
- The Pool – The Star (And My Little Disaster!): Speaking of the swimming pool [outdoor], it's the heart of the whole thing. Important anecdote incoming: I decided to be adventurous and go down a water slide. (I’m not usually adventurous). I mean, how hard could it be? Turns out, pretty hard. Or, at least, harder than I anticipated. I ended up with a massive wedgie. Seriously, I swear I saw the lifeguard stifle a laugh. My face was red, the water was cold, and I vowed never to trust water slides again. (Maybe I went on the wrong slide) Still, the pool itself was clean, and the view was… well, it was a pool. Not complaining.
Cleanliness and Safety: Because Let's Face It, Germs Are Terrifying
Right, let's get real about the pandemic. It's still out there, and I always check these boxes. Waterboom Lippo Cikarang seems to be trying. They talk about Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, and Rooms sanitized between stays. They also have Hand sanitizer stations. That’s the bare minimum, honestly, but it’s reassuring. I saw that the staff were wearing masks, and they were trying to keep things clean and tidy, which is always a plus in my eyes.
They also have a doctor/nurse on call.
Food, Glorious Food! (And My Quest for the Perfect Breakfast)
Food is important, right? Especially when you're on vacation and desperately trying to avoid cooking. Here's the lowdown:
- Breakfast is on the table! They had Asian breakfast, Breakfast [buffet], and Western breakfast. Breakfast was included. You get an "Alternative meal arrangement" if the buffet doesn't fit your needs.
- Restaurants! They have Restaurants and Coffee shop. I ate at the restaurant, but not at the Coffee shop. They have a pretty diverse menu of Asian cuisine in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, and Western cuisine in restaurant. I went for Western cuisine, and it was good! You can also get Bottle of water.
- Is there anything else? Yes! They give options for Room service [24-hour]. There’s also a Poolside bar.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Make a Difference
Waterboom Lippo Cikarang has a decent array of the usual suspects: Air conditioning in public area, a Cash withdrawal machine, a Concierge, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, and an Elevator. These are all appreciated. Also, if you need them, there's Laundry service, Luggage storage, and Safety deposit boxes.
For the Kids: A Family-Friendly Zone
If you’re travelling with kids, this place has a definite family-friendly vibe. There's Babysitting service, and Kids facilities. Plus, the water park itself is a massive draw for the little ones.
The Rooms: My Sleep Sanctuary (Mostly)
My room was.. okay. It was clean-ish, and that's already a win! Things to look out for:
- They have: Air conditioning, Air conditioning in public area, Blackout curtains (bless!), Coffee/tea maker, Daily housekeeping, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Mini bar, Refrigerator, Shower, Telephone, Toiletries, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free].
- My thoughts: They don't say, but I really want to know how often they change those sheets. The bed comfy, but I'm a softie for fresh linens.
Getting Around: Airports to Car Parks - The Transportation Tango
They offer Airport transfer which is a lifesaver. They also have a Car park [free of charge], which is always appreciated so you don't stress about parking!
Safety and Security: Because Bad Things Happen
They have CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, and Security [24-hour]. That feels like a good thing. I always appreciate feeling looked after when I'm away from home
Final Verdict (and Why You Should Book Now!)
Okay, here's the deal: Waterboom Lippo Cikarang is a decent choice. It's not perfect, but it's fun. It's got a great water park, clean(ish) rooms, and a decent selection of amenities.

P.S. Don't forget to pack your swimsuit (and maybe a life jacket if you're anything like me on those waterslides)! And tell the lifeguard I said hi. And maybe apologize for the wedgie incident. Just a thought!
Caffè Leon La Spezia: Italy's BEST Hidden Gem? (You NEED to See This!)
Alright, buckle up, buttercup, 'cause we're diving headfirst into a RedDoorz adventure near WaterBoom Lippo Cikarang, Indonesia! Okay, maybe not diving, more like… waddling in ankle-deep, but still! This isn't your glossy, perfectly-curated Instagram trip. This is the REAL DEAL. Prepare for bad air conditioning, questionable food choices, and a whole lotta "what-was-I-thinking" moments.
Day 1: Arrival and the Quest for Cheap Nasi Goreng (aka, the "Get-Settled-and-Don't-Die" Day)
- Morning (aka, the 'Oh God, did I pack enough socks?!' phase): Landed in Jakarta. Airport chaos ensued. Seriously, getting through immigration felt like a competitive sport. Finally, hailed a (hopefully legitimate) Grab to Cikarang. The driver, bless his soul, kept trying to chat in Bahasa Indonesia, and my linguistic skills peaked at "Terima kasih" (thank you). Let's just say the ride was… eventful. I saw so many motorbikes piled up with people I'm pretty sure I saw a family of five on one.
- Afternoon (aka, the 'Finding the RedDoorz and Praying for Clean Sheets' saga): Found the RedDoorz. It's…functional. Let's just leave it at that, shall we? Honestly, the air con is probably having a midlife crisis. It's either freezing you to the bone or just blowing hot air. My mood swings are mirroring the temperature fluctuations. Okay, deep breaths. Need to unpack. And find food. Desperately. This is where the "Quest for Cheap Nasi Goreng" begins.
- Late Afternoon/Early Evening (aka, the 'Nasi Goreng Victory!' moment and the mosquito massacre): Okay, so, success! Found a street vendor blasting Indonesian pop music. Nasi Goreng for, like, three bucks! Best. Meal. Ever. The spicy chili made my eyes water, but the flavor? Chefs kiss Then, the mosquitoes decided to throw a party. I'm covered in bites. My arms look like a constellation map. I’m now questioning if I’ve contracted any diseases. Oh boy.
- Evening (aka, the 'Trying (and failing) to watch Netflix' episode): Back at the RedDoorz. The Wi-Fi is… well, let's just say it's more of a suggestion than a reality. Attempted to watch something on Netflix, but I just watched the loading symbol do its spinning dance for an hour until giving up. Gave in to the internet’s slow dance and opted to read instead. My eyelids are getting heavy and I’m tired.
Day 2: WaterBoom… and a Near-Death Experience with a Chicken Satay
- Morning (aka, the 'WaterBoom!!!' excitement and sunscreen application ritual): Rise and…pray the air con has magically fixed itself. Today, WaterBoom! I am expecting excitement and fun. I’ve packed my swimsuit and enough sunscreen to protect a small island. The anticipation is building, and I'm picturing glorious slides and refreshing pools.
- Afternoon (aka, the 'WaterBoom Reality Check' and the chicken satay incident): WaterBoom was… crowded. Like, REALLY crowded. Which meant long lines for the slides. (Insert a picture of me very patiently waiting). Okay, the slides were fun but the water was…well, let's just say I'm glad I've had my shots. But then… the food court. I succumbed to the allure of chicken satay. Ate it with gusto. About 15 minutes later, I was questioning all my life choices. My stomach started doing flips, and I was starting to sweat and I am beginning to think I should’ve stayed at the RedDoorz. Quick run to the bathroom and a quick stop at the water fountain later, I survived.
- Late Afternoon/Early Evening (aka, the 'Post-Apocalyptic Poolside' and a moment of quiet contemplation (read: exhaustion)): After the satay incident, I just… sat by the pool. I guess I was the last man standing. The water was still not the clean. I just watched the sunset and thought about how much I value toilet paper and clean drinking water.
- Evening (aka, the 'Nasi Goreng Redemption' and the sound of rain): Decided to give Nasi Goreng another chance! (Maybe I have a problem) This time, ordered it straight to the RedDoorz. The rain started. The sound against the tin roof was incredible. Watching the rain was much better than Netflix.
Day 3: Departure and the lingering scent of adventure (and mosquito repellent)
- Morning (aka, the 'Goodbye, Cikarang!' and the last-minute souvenir hunt): Wake up, check out of the RedDoorz (with a sigh…and relief). Time to go home!
- Afternoon (aka, The 'Is This Real Life?' and back to the Airport): The trip back to the airport was, again, eventful. I think I blinked and a whole city was built on the side of the road. So many motorbikes. I still don’t know how I haven’t died.
- Evening (aka, the 'Homeward Bound' sentimentality and the promise of a better shower): On the plane, finally. This trip has been a messy, chaotic, and hilarious experience. I will be showering for a long time. I'm already planning my next trip (maybe).
Quirky Observations and Messy Thoughts:
- The sheer amount of street food is mind-boggling and beautiful.
- Everyone is so friendly and helpful, even when I butcher their language.
- I think I have developed a weird sort of affection for the RedDoorz, in all its flawed glory.
- I miss my bed. I miss hot showers. I miss clean drinking water.
- I might need a new wardrobe.
- I will definitely be back…eventually.
Final Verdict:
RedDoorz near WaterBoom Cikarang? It's not for the faint of heart. It's not luxurious. It's not always clean. But it's an experience. It’s an adventure. And, honestly, it's kinda wonderful. Just pack extra mosquito repellent. And maybe some Pepto-Bismol.
Czech Republic Getaway: Unforgettable Willa Jihlava Stay!
WaterBoom Lippo Cikarang: Your RedDoorz Adventure! (Or, Maybe Not...)
Okay, FINE, What IS WaterBoom Lippo Cikarang? Sounds... exciting?
Alright, alright, picture this: sweltering Indonesian heat. You. A giant, inflatable... thingy. And a whole lotta water. That, my friend, is basically WaterBoom. It's a water park, your classic slides, wave pools, lazy rivers – the works. It's in Cikarang, which is... well, it's in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by factories and the lingering scent of something unidentified (sometimes delightful, sometimes… not). And, yes, you can (in theory) book a room near it with RedDoorz. That's the "Getaway" part. See, that's the promise, the *dream*...
But let's be real, the dream isn't always, you know, *dreamy*. More on that later.
So, it's a good idea to stay at a RedDoorz nearby *before* hitting the water?
Hoo boy. That's a loaded question. The *idea*? Sure! Minimize the driving! Get a head start on the sun-scorched fun! But the *reality*? Well, let's just say my last RedDoorz experience involved a questionable stain on the sheets and a leaky tap that sounded like a dying whale. So, yeah, manage your expectations. Read the reviews. Vigorously. Triple-check the photos. Maybe pack your own disinfectant wipes. I'm not saying don't do it, I'm just saying… prepare yourself. It's like dating: hope for the best, but brace for some potential heart-break. And a cockroach or two. Maybe.
What kind of stuff is there to do at WaterBoom? Slides, waves, all that jazz?
Okay, picture the scene. Sun, sunscreen, shrieking kids (mostly yours, potentially). WaterBoom offers the usual suspects. Mega slides that *promise* adrenaline rushes (sometimes deliver, sometimes you're just… wet). A wave pool that, at peak times, resembles a washing machine filled with flailing arms and screaming toddlers. Lazy rivers (a personal fave for maximum chillaxation, IF you can snag a tube before the hoard descends). And, of course, the inevitable kiddy pools for the tiny humans. They claim to have some other rides. But, Honestly? The details get a bit hazy after a few hours of direct sun exposure. Let's focus on the core elements, shall we? Slides offer the biggest highs and the worst lows. The slides? Unpredictable. One minute you're feeling like a majestic water-bound eagle, the next you're awkwardly stuck halfway down, contemplating life choices. It's an emotional rollercoaster, truly.
Is it good for kids? Mine are little terrors, so…
Ah, the eternal question! For kids? Yes... mostly. They'll love it. They'll scream with joy (and probably a bit of terror). They'll beg to go back. You, on the other hand… well, you'll be chasing them, wiping noses, rescuing them from the wave pool (speaking from experience, that wave pool is a beast!), and generally feeling like a short-order cook/lifeguard/psychologist/entertainer all rolled into one soggy package. It's a marathon, not a sprint, parenting in a water park. Bring reinforcements (aka, another adult). And maybe a strong drink for yourself… after the kids are asleep. And maybe a noise-canceling headset to cancel the waves and the screaming.
Food? Can I get some sustenance? Are there hotdogs and things?
Food. Ah, the fuel of the fun (and the source of potential stomach upset). Yes, there are food stalls. Expect the usual suspects: fried stuff, ice cream (essential!), maybe some local Indonesian fare (nasi goreng, always a solid choice). The quality? Let’s just say you might want to pack some snacks and water. A water bottle is *non-negotiable*. Dehydration is a real threat. And the lines? Don't get me *started* on the lines. Picture a throng of hungry, sun-baked people, all vying for a lukewarm burger. It's a scene. A chaotic, slightly desperate scene. My pro-tip: Go early. Or, be prepared to wait. And bring a sense of humor. And maybe a snack bar in your bag. Just in case.
What about the crowds? Is it a total zoo?
It depends. Weekends? Public holidays? Forget about it. You'll be elbowing your way through hordes of people, fighting for a tube, and generally feeling claustrophobic. Aim for a weekday if you can. Even then, though, expect some crowds. It's a popular spot, after all. My personal strategy: Embrace the chaos. View the crowd as a form of entertainment. People-watching is a sport, after all. And, hey, at least you're all in the same soggy boat, right? Just try not to judge the people who cut in line (too much). We've all been there, desperate for a slide or a fried something.
How do I actually book a RedDoorz near WaterBoom? Is it even easy?
Ah, the million-dollar question (or, at least, the RedDoorz-sized question). Yes, you book via the usual channels: the RedDoorz website, booking apps, etc. It's *usually* straightforward. Search for "RedDoorz near WaterBoom Lippo Cikarang." Filter by, you know, *sanity*. Read the reviews. Again, I cannot stress this enough. People WILL tell you about the leaky taps, the questionable stains, and the general state of the lodgings. Pay attention! I made the mistake of not listening once. Once. Never again. It's essential! Because a good RedDoorz experience can make your water boom day truly blissful.
Okay, let's get real. Give me the good, the bad, and the… soggy.
Alright, buckle up, because here comes the truth, unfiltered and slightly chlorine-tinged.
The Good: The sheer joy of a water slide, the thrill of the big splash. The wave pool! (When it's not a tidal wave of tiny people). The lazyLow Price Hotel Blog
