Tangerang Paradise: Your Dream 1BR Anwa Residence Awaits!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we’re diving headfirst into Tangerang Paradise: Your Dream 1BR Anwa Residence Awaits! – and honestly, after spending a week there, I’m still unpacking the experience… and the sheer number of amenities. SEO be damned, let’s get real about this place.
Accessibility: A Little Bit of a Rollercoaster
Okay, let's start with the nitty-gritty: Accessibility. They say facilities for disabled guests are available. BUT, and it's a big but, I didn’t personally test it. I saw elevators, so that's a good start. But the website's description is vague, y'know? It's that kind of accessibility – the kind where you're left second-guessing if it really means what you hope it does. Important if you're relying on this, double-check EVERYTHING. Don't just take my word – or their website's mild promises – for it. Sorry, I’m just being realistic here, and I’m not quite up to being a test dummy.
On-site Restaurants & Lounges: Food, Glorious Food (Mostly)
Oh. My. Goodness. Where do I EVEN begin?! Dining? Forget it. This is a foodie's paradise. Seriously. Get ready to loosen your belt (or, you know, bring a few different sizes).
- Restaurants: Plural. Yep. They've got a bunch. And let's be real, after a long flight, you need that. Asian food is a definite highlight, but they cater to all tastes.
- Asian Breakfast Oh sweet baby Jesus, the Asian breakfast was an experience. Seriously. One morning I ate so much Nasi Goreng I legitimately thought I’d pass out. They have a buffet – Buffet in restaurant – and trust me, go hungry.
- Western Breakfast The Western options are pretty solid, a hearty start to day.
- Bar: The cocktails are… ahem… strong. Let's just say I had a couple of "happy hours" that weren't so happy the next morning.
- Poolside Bar: This is where the magic happens. Sipping something cold while watching people splish-splash. Bliss.
- Coffee Shop: I am a sucker for a good cup of coffee, and boy let me tell you, they did not disappoint. I spent more time there than I would care to admit, just people watching and enjoying the smells and tastes.
- Room Service [24-hour]: And the cherry on top? 24-hour room service. So, if you happen to get a craving for fried noodles at 3 AM, you're set. The menu is extensive, and the food quality is consistent, even at weird hours.
Wheelchair Accessibility: Again, the devil is in the details. See Accessibility above. Don't just assume, please.
Internet Access & Connectivity: Stay Connected, or Not, It’s Your Choice!

Things to Do & Ways to Relax: A Sensory Overload (In a Good Way)
This is where Tangerang Paradise truly shines… or at least, tries to. The sheer number of options! It's almost overwhelming.
- Pool with view: Yep, the pool does have a view. A very Instagrammable view. I spent an hour, if not hours, there. Relaxing by the pool is amazing, with the view in mind.

Alright, buckle up, buttercups. This ain't your grandma's itinerary. This is the raw, unfiltered, slightly-hangover-induced plan for my… well, let’s call it an "adventure" at the Great Choice 1BR Anwa Residence By Travelio in Tangerang, Indonesia. Prepare yourselves for a rollercoaster of emotions, questionable decisions, and the undeniable allure of street food.
Day 1: Arrival & the "Oh God, What Have I Done?!" Effect
- 14:00: Arrive at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK). Okay, first impressions… it’s HUGE. And hot. Really, really hot. And the baggage claim? Let's just say my carefully packed suitcase felt abandoned, lost in a sea of bewildered tourists and frantic baggage handlers. Found it eventually, after a minor panic attack involving a rogue airport trolley and a near-collision with a particularly grumpy looking Indonesian gentleman. Note to self: learn some basic Bahasa Indonesia, stat.
- 15:30: Taxi to Anwa Residence. This is where it gets interesting. The traffic in Jakarta, or rather, the total chaos that masquerades as traffic, is a thing of beauty. A glorious, terrifying, horn-honking ballet of motorbikes, buses, and barely-running cars. My driver, bless his soul, navigated it all like a seasoned gladiator. I, however, was a quivering mass of existential dread in the backseat.
- 17:00: Check into Anwa Residence. The lobby? Pristine. The staff? Impeccably polite. The apartment?… Well, it's a 1BR. Small, but tidy. The "Great Choice" part? Questionable. Hmm, is that a stain on the sofa? And why does the air con sound like a dying walrus? Still, the view from the balcony is pretty decent. A sprawling cityscape that manages to be both chaotic and beautiful.
- 18:00: The Street Food Debacle: Part 1. Feeling brave (and starving), I venture out to find some local cuisine. Armed with only Google Translate and a healthy dose of optimism, I stumble upon a street vendor hawking something that smells divine. It’s called nasi goreng (fried rice). Order it. Devour it. Burn my tongue on it (damn, it's spicy!). Regret it. Love it. Repeat. Seriously, I'm pretty sure this is the best (and potentially worst) thing I've ever tasted.
- 20:00: Back at the apartment. Bed. Exhaustion. Existential Dread.
Day 2: Culture, Coffee, and Catastrophe?
- 09:00: Wake up. Feeling surprisingly… alive? Coffee is essential, obviously. Discover the small cafe near by. Ugh, strong black Indonesian coffee, this will give you wings.
- 10:00: The Museum Adventure (or, My Lack of Adventure Skill). Attempt to visit the Tangerang Museum. I am the master of self-deception. Thinking I could somehow navigate the public transit system. After a sweaty, confusing, and ultimately unsuccessful attempt to figure out the local bus routes, I give up and order a Grab (Indonesian Uber). Note to self: Hire a driver for the rest of the trip.
- 12:00: Lunch at a local warung (small, family-run restaurant). More nasi goreng. This time, less tongue-burning, more pure, unadulterated joy. Try something new: gado-gado (Indonesian salad with peanut sauce). Oh my god, I'm in love with Indonesian peanut sauce.
- 14:00: Explore the surrounding neighborhood. Find a bustling local market. Get my first close-up encounter with a durian stand. The smell is… intense. Am I curious? Yes. Brave? Absolutely not. Run away! Run away!
- 16:00: The "Lost in Translation" Incident. Attempt to buy a SIM card. The lady doesn't speak much English, I don’t speak much Indonesian, and hilarity ensues. After much gesturing, pointing, and a shared laugh involving a picture of a kitten, I finally get the card. Maybe? Who knows.
- 18:00: The Street Food Debacle: Part 2. (This time the sequel is good!!!). Determined to conquer the food scene, I head back to my favorite street vendor and try some grilled fish. Amazing. Utter, pure, smoky, fishy bliss. Meet other people in the market. Chat some more.
- 20:00: Back at the apartment. Watch Netflix. Bed. The day: A blur of food, language barriers, and pure, unadulterated experiences.
Day 3: Shopping (Maybe. Probably Not.) and Departure (Probably Sooner Than I Thought).
- 09:00: Wake up. Decided to try the local gym downstairs.
- 10:00: After a workout. Decide to visit the mall.
- 12:00: Lunch and quick snacks at the mall.
- 14:00: Pack and start tidying everything up.
- 15:00: Ready to leave.
- 16:00: Arrive at the airport.
- 18:00: Flight departures.
- 18:00: End of Tour.
The Verdict:
Tangerang? A complete assault on the senses. Chaotic, beautiful, frustrating, delicious. The Anwa Residence? Adequate. The street food? A religious experience. Did I achieve everything on my "to-do" list? Absolutely not. Did I have an unforgettable time? Absolutely. Would I come back? In a heartbeat. Just… maybe with a better grasp of the language and a less reckless approach to spicy food. And definitely a driver. This trip was a reminder that it’s not the perfect plan that makes a trip worthwhile. It's the messy bits, the wrong turns, the accidental adventures, and the nasi goreng that you’ll truly remember. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need a nap. And maybe some more peanut sauce.
