Luxury Jakarta Living: Sentra Timur Blue Living Awaits! - A Review That's Actually Real (And a Little Bit Crazy)
Okay, folks, buckle up. I've just spent a whirlwind stay at Luxury Jakarta Living: Sentra Timur Blue Living Awaits!, and let me tell you, it was… an EXPERIENCE. Forget those sterile, cookie-cutter reviews. This is the raw, unfiltered truth. (And yes, I did spend way too much time on some things and skipped others. Sue me!)
First Impressions (The Good, The Bad, and the Slightly Beige)
The whole "Blue Living" thing? Honestly, I was expecting everything to be, well, blue. Thankfully, it wasn't a Smurf convention. The lobby is pretty swanky though, and the staff? Super friendly, even when I was fumbling with my suitcase and nearly tripped over my own two feet. (Hello, jet lag!).
Accessibility - Or, Can You Actually Get Around?
Listen, I'm not in a wheelchair, but I did notice the elevator. And the helpful staff. Things seemed pretty well set up for anyone with mobility issues, but I'm not equipped to give a detailed, expert opinion on this. I'll be looking for more reviews on that section to give a more objective answer.
Rooms - Your Personal Fortress (With Wi-Fi That Actually Works!)
Let’s get down to it. The room's Wi-Fi? AMAZING. Finally, a hotel that understands my need to binge-watch cat videos without buffering. Seriously, free Wi-Fi in ALL rooms? Bless you, Luxury Jakarta Living. The room itself was clean, spacious, and the air conditioning was, praise the gods, efficient. I even had a mini-bar (stocked with the essentials, because, priorities). And the blackout curtains? Pure blissful darkness. Sleep like a baby's been crying!
Now, let's talk about the detail in the room:
- Available in all rooms: Additional Toilet, Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens.
Cleanliness & Safety - Because, You Know, Life
This is where Luxury Jakarta Living really shines. I'm talking serious levels of clean. During this pandemic, every hotel should go the extra mile, and that's what happened. The room was spotless, hand sanitizer stations were everywhere, and the staff was always masked up. The daily disinfection of public areas was very welcomed. And honestly, it made me feel safe. And the "Room sanitization opt-out available"? Genius. I wish every hotel had that option.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - My Stomach's Verdict
Okay, time for the real meat and potatoes. (Or, in this case, the nasi goreng and the questionable "American" breakfast).
- Asian Breakfast: It was fantastic! The Nasi Goreng was flavorful and the portion was just right, I could feel the energy coursing through my veins!
- Breakfast Buffet: The buffet was great, if not a little chaotic. Lots of options, but it felt like a free-for-all at times.
- Restaurants: The main restaurant offered a decent selection of Asian and International dishes. The food was good, but the service could be slow at times.
- Poolside Bar: I spent a fair amount of time here. The cocktails were strong (which I appreciated), and the view over the pool was relaxing.
- Room Service: 24-hour service? Yes, please! Perfect for those late-night cravings.
- Coffee/Tea in Restaurant: Great coffee, and a welcome way to start the day.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax - My Spa Story
This is where things get… personal. They have a sauna. A pool with a view. A spa. I went straight to the spa, convinced it was the answer. Picture this: me, stressed from the flight, craving oblivion. I opted for the full works: body scrub, body wrap, massage, the whole shebang.
The massage? Amazing. I’m not sure if my masseuse was a magical being or just really, really good, but I emerged feeling like a new human. Seriously, all those knots in my shoulders? Gone. Poof! The body scrub was a little… intense, but hey, a little exfoliation never hurt anyone!
But I must say the sauna needed more water!
A Little More on Dining
The food was okay, but at the prices they were charging, it could've been better. I will say the Asian food in the restaurant was very good.
- Asian Cuisine in Restaurant: The Indonesian selections were very good, and I would recommend it.
- International cuisine in restaurant: I would rate the international cuisine as average.
- Vegetarian restaurant: There was a vegetarian option available.
- Desserts in restaurant: The desserts weren't great.
- Happy hour: I was able to get a drink at the happy hour.
Services and Conveniences - The Little Things That Matter
- Concierge: Helpful and friendly. They got me a taxi, gave me recommendations for sightseeing, and even helped me find my way out of the hotel (I get lost easily).
- Cash withdrawal: Convenient.
- Elevator: I'm a lazy person, so I was glad to have the elevator.
- Dry cleaning and Laundry service Perfect for a traveler.
For the Kids - Sorry, No Kids Allowed
I didn't bring any children with me, but the "Family/child friendly" designation had me intrigued.
- Babysitting service: The service was available, but I didn't use it.
- Kids meal: The Kids meal was available, but I don't have any kids with me.
- Kids facilities: The Kids facilities were available, but I don't have any kids with me.
Getting Around - No Car, No Problem
- Airport transfer: Convenient and efficient.
- Car park [free of charge]: Great to save money!
- Taxi service: Easy to access.
Security and Safety - They Take It Seriously
- Security [24-hour]: I felt secure.
- Smoke alarms: Safety first.
- Fire extinguisher: Safety first.
- CCTV in common areas: Security first.
- CCTV outside property: Security first.
The Verdict - Would I Go Back?
Overall, Luxury Jakarta Living: Sentra Timur Blue Living Awaits! is a solid choice. It's clean, comfortable, and has some excellent amenities. The spa alone is worth the price of admission. And hey, who doesn't love a hotel with free Wi-Fi? I'd definitely go back.
My Quirks of the Stay:
- I swear the staff here have superhuman patience.
- I got lost within the hotel and had to ask for directions, I'm that kind of person.
- The breakfast buffet seriously needs a traffic controller.
- I swear the massage therapist possessed the ability to see into my soul.
- The sauna needed more water.

Siem Reap Luxury: Uncover Tevi Residence's Hidden Paradise!
Okay, deep breaths. Sentra Timur Apartemen Blue Living Premium, Jakarta. Sounds…expensive. And I’m already sweating just thinking about the Jakarta humidity. Let’s do this. My soul needs a vacation from… well, everything. Here’s the utterly-likely-to-be-derailed itinerary:
Operation: Jakarta Jaunt – Survival Guide and Mild Panic Fuelled Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Balcony Standoff (and My Internal Monologue SCREAMING)
- 10:00 AM (or Whenever the Taxi Actually Arrives): Touchdown at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. Pray to the travel gods for a smooth customs experience. Last time, I got searched for bringing in… a slightly questionable brand of instant noodles. Indonesia, you’re a mystery.
- 11:30 AM (ish - traffic WILL be involved, embrace it): Taxi to Sentra Timur Apartemen. Okay, so… premium? I hope the "premium" part extends to air conditioning that actually works. The idea of being crammed into a sweltering apartment after a long flight is… less than appealing. Fingers crossed for no broken elevator (always a possibility).
- 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM: Check-in, Reconnaissance, and the Balcony of Judgement. Unpack. Immediately locate the air conditioning controls. Commence a desperate internal negotiation with my own sweat glands. Explore the apartment. The balcony. The balcony. I’m instantly judging everything. Is it a decent view? Is it shaded? Will the pigeons attack? My mood hinges on this. This balcony experience will set the stage for this entire trip.
- 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Lunch Scramble. Okay, now…food. I'm already hungry. Find something semi-edible nearby. Maybe that little warung (food stall) around the corner? Hopefully, the food doesn't look at me in a judging way. Embrace the chaos.
- 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM: The Jakarta Reality Check. Getting lost and Embrace it. I decide to experience the true Jakarta by getting lost. No planning, just follow my gut (which might lead me to a durian stall. We'll see.) Expect lots of sweaty meandering and a general sense of disorientation. Bonus points if I accidentally end up on a bus with a karaoke session.
- 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Back to the Apartment. The Quiet Moment. Reflection. Trying to unwind. Maybe some reading on the balcony, if the pigeons haven’t gotten to it. A cold drink. Some quiet time before dinner, to gather my wits for the next adventure.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner – The Noodle Challenge (and Potential Spicy Regret). I'm going to find the spiciest, most authentic Indonesian noodles I can. With a side of “Oh god, what have I done?” I'm prepared for the burn. I'm prepared for the tears. I'm prepared for the… delightful, spicy misery that is Indonesian cuisine.
- 8:00 PM - Bedtime: Collapse. Sleep. Pray I can handle the heat. Mentally prepare for Day 2 and a completely new adventure.
Day 2: Culture Shock, Savoring Local Flavors and Navigating the Maze
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast & The Morning Ritual (or Lack Thereof). Coffee… lots of coffee. Maybe some street food if I'm feeling brave. The key is to start the day without a massive crash.
- 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Kota Tua (Old Town Jakarta) – History and (Maybe) Heartbreak. This is supposed to be a must-see. The historic buildings! The colonial architecture! The… potential for overwhelming crowds and sunburn, I'm going to mentally and physically prepare. I'm imagining people and crowds, will I want to be there for too long?
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch in Kota Tua. Finding a place that isn’t a total tourist trap is a challenge, but I plan to put in the effort. I'll be looking for authentic food. The goal? Not to end up with a tummy ache.
- 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Sunda Kelapa Harbor. A walk by the harbor, taking in the view, taking in the moment. People-watching – an essential Jakarta activity. Will definitely take a lot of pictures.
- 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Return to the Apartment & Recovery. Rest & Recharge. Maybe the pool if I'm feeling brave. The heat is exhausting, and I might need to just…do absolutely nothing for a bit.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner and Street Food Adventures. Exploring the local street food scene. Trying anything new. This is where it gets interesting. My stomach might hate me, but my soul will be happy.
- 8:00 PM - Bedtime: Planning for Day 3.
Day 3: The Downfall of my "Plan" - Reconnecting to the City
- Morning: Okay, let's be honest. By now, the itinerary has probably gone completely out the window. Maybe I'll be in bed recovering from spice overload. Maybe I'll be on an unexpected adventure. Maybe I'll decide to stay in Jakarta forever. Who knows.
- The Moment: Find something, anything, that makes me smile. It could be a random conversation with a local. It could be the perfect cup of coffee. It could be the smell of rain on hot asphalt. The point is to embrace whatever Jakarta throws my way.
- Afternoon and Evening: Whatever happens, will have happened.
Important Notes and Utterly Unreliable Advice:
- Traffic: It's a constant. Accept it. Bring a book. Or a podcast. Or a very large supply of patience.
- Humidity: It's… intense. Drink more water than you think is humanly possible. Pack loose clothing. Embrace the sheen of perpetual dew.
- Street food: Be careful, but be brave. Your trip won’t be complete without trying it.
- Bargaining: It's expected. Learn some basic Indonesian phrases.
- Be open to chaos. This is the most important piece of advice. Jakarta is a city of surprises. Go with the flow. Let go of expectations. And above all… have fun (even when things go wrong).
This is my attempt to create a plan for Jakarta. This adventure is far from perfect. I'll try to fit it into a neat plan. But, given my track record, let's be real. It’s more of a guideline. A suggestion. A… hopeful beginning to what will undoubtedly be a messy, wonderful, and utterly unforgettable trip. Wish me luck. And, if you see me, feeling lost and bewildered, buying a durian and wondering what the hell I’ve gotten myself into… say hello. I'll probably need a friend.

Okay, spill the tea. Is Sentra Timur Blue Living really "luxury"? What does that even *mean* here?
The Location, Location, Location! Is it actually convenient to, well, *life* in Jakarta?
So, the apartments themselves. What are they *really* like, inside the promised "luxury" bubble?
The Amenities! What's actually there to enjoy? Is it just the promise of a swimming pool?
The Management! Are they helpful, or just another source of frustration when things go wrong? (Because things *always* go wrong, right?)
So, the big question: Would *you* live there? (And why?)
