Escape to Paradise: Safiina Point Syariah Hotel Awaits in Gunung Putri, Indonesia
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into my experience at Escape to Paradise: Safiina Point Syariah Hotel in Gunung Putri, Indonesia. Forget perfect polished reviews – this is gonna be real, raw, and probably a little bit rambling. Think of it as your slightly-tipsy friend pulling you aside after a long day of exploring, spilling all the tea (and maybe some tequila, shhh).
First things first: Accessibility. Okay, listen, I’m not a wheelchair user, thankfully. But I did take a good look around, and Facilities for disabled guests are actually listed. The Elevator is a plus (don't want to be lugging my luggage up a billion stairs!), which is definitely a win in my book. Plus, there's even a Car park [free of charge] which makes getting there a breeze.
Getting Around – Seriously, who doesn't want a Car park [on-site] and a Taxi service available? And if you're feeling adventurous (and maybe a little crazy like I am), there's even Bicycle parking. I didn't test this out, but the idea is there!
Rooms, Glorious Rooms!
Let's get to the nitty-gritty – the room. You know, the place where you crash after a day of exploring. I’m gonna go over the Available in all rooms first because you know, that's just practical. 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. Whew! Deep breath. Okay, so… basically everything you need. The Coffee/tea maker was a godsend in the mornings. And seriously, those Blackout curtains? Lifesaver. I actually slept in until noon one day (I know, I’m a disgrace), but the room was so dark and cozy. And oh my GOD, having a Mini Bar (and a Refrigerator) in the room is practically non-negotiable for me these days. Essential for stashing all those… ahem, "healthy" snacks.
Speaking of rooms, I'm a sucker for a good Room decorations. It always adds a certain je ne sais quoi, and the hotel absolutely nailed that. As for the Soundproof rooms, they were a game-changer.
Cleanliness and Safety – The Slightly Obsessive Review
Look, in this day and age, I'm a bit of a germaphobe. So, the Cleanliness and safety section is where I got really picky. The fact that they use Anti-viral cleaning products and have Daily disinfection in common areas immediately made me feel better. Huge points. Plus, they have Hand sanitizer everywhere, which is a must. They also have Staff trained in safety protocol, which is comforting. The Rooms sanitized between stays is a huge win, too. Really impressive.
(Now, prepare for a confession…) I may have (okay, I definitely did) check out the Hygiene certification. Call me crazy, but I wanted to feel safe.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – My Stomach's Opinion
Okay, let's talk food. This is where things get interesting. The restaurants themselves were lovely. They have a Coffee shop, which is a lifesaver. And a Poolside bar? HELLO! The Asian cuisine in restaurant was generally good. The International cuisine in restaurant was also impressive. I think I ate something from everything. I am a fan. It's just nice to have options. They offer Vegetarian restaurant, always a plus. And the Desserts in restaurant were… well, let’s just say I had to run on the treadmill at the Fitness center a few times. The Breakfast [buffet] was HUGE! (This is good, because, you know, food.) The Breakfast service was efficient, and you could get Breakfast in room if you're feeling extra lazy (like I was most mornings). I even saw a Bottle of water in my room. Score!
Things to Do & Ways to Relax – AKA, My Happy Place
Okay, now for the good stuff. Ways to relax. The Spa is where it's at, folks. They have a Sauna, which is perfect for sweating out the toxins (and maybe a few bad decisions). And a Steamroom, because… well, steamrooms are amazing. I did the Body wrap and the Massage. The Massage was pretty solid. I walked out feeling like a limp noodle in the best way possible. I even enjoyed a Foot bath. Pure bliss. There's also a Swimming pool, and, get this, a Pool with view! It was glorious. The Gym/fitness was pretty standard.
Services and Conveniences – The Practical Bits
They have a 24-hour Front desk, which is always a plus when you're traveling. There’s a Daily housekeeping, of course. And a Laundry service (which I, sadly, needed). Plus, they had a Cash withdrawal. I like convenience!
For the Kids – Because… Kids!
I don't have kids, but I saw plenty of families having a blast here and thought it was worth mentioning! There are Kids facilities and a Babysitting service.
In the end:
It's not just a hotel; it's an escape. A place to be pampered, a place to relax, and a place to… well, just be. It's not perfect, sure, but it's honest, it’s charming, and it's definitely an experience.
**My Honest Verdict: ** Escape to Paradise: Safiina Point Syariah Hotel in Gunung Putri is a solid choice. It's a clean, comfortable place with nice amenities, and the staff is helpful.

Seoul's Hidden Gem: Deoksugung Palace UH Suite Luxury Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your glossy travel brochure. This is my Safiina Point Syariah Hotel adventure in Gunung Putri, Indonesia, and trust me, it was less "perfectly curated Instagram story" and more "controlled chaos with a surprising amount of delicious food."
Day 1: Arriving & The Great Pool-Noodle Acquisition
Morning (Or, More Accurately, "Sometime Around Noon"): Jakarta traffic is a special kind of hell, people. Forget the "rush hour" nonsense. It's "rush ALL DAY" hour. We – me, my perpetually stressed spouse (bless her), and the two kids (ages 7 and 9, human tornadoes, both) – finally, finally, arrived at the Safiina Point. The exterior? Honestly, pretty decent. Clean lines, decent enough looking, and the promise of a pool shimmered in the brochure (and my brain).
- Anecdote: We were convinced we'd lost the luggage forever at the Jakarta airport. Panicked calls, frantic searching… Turns out, it was just on a different carousel. Lesson learned: patience is a virtue, especially when you're traveling with a suitcase full of swimsuits and a desperate need for a holiday.
Afternoon: Hotel Check-In & The Pool Hunt
Check-in was relatively painless, but the lobby… Well, let's just say it had a certain "functional" charm. Think more "hospital cafeteria" than "boutique hotel chic." But hey, clean and there's a lovely, calming atmosphere. As we entered the room, it was like stepping into a postcard of cozy. The furnishings were minimal but comfortable, perfect after the long travel;
Rambling Observation: Finding the pool was the ultimate quest. There were no clear signs, so we wandered like lost sheep, giggling and hoping, through the hotel hallways. And YES, we needed the pool the second we were done with our luggage and settling in. Then we FOUND it - the pool area had a lovely, calming atmosphere. And, like all great pools, it was occupied! I almost lost myself to the pool!
Evening: Dinner Debacle & The Pool Noodle Conspiracy
Dinner was at the hotel restaurant. The nasi goreng was good, a solid 7/10, but the service was… slow. Like, "contemplate the meaning of life" slow.
Emotional Reaction: I swear, I saw a chef actually grow the ingredients for my satay. Okay, maybe not. But the food was yummy. We were served rice, satay, some vegetables, and soup - and we wolfed them down after so much effort.
Messy Structure: I also had to go to the prayer room. As I was trying to take a bath, I thought I had lost balance, but then I saw it was just the slippery tiles. So, I had to keep my balance and tried to finish my business.
Quirky Observation: The kids were obsessed with the pool noodles. OBSESSED. They spent the entire time strategizing ways to acquire more. I swear, they'd have traded their own limbs for a giant inflatable flamingo.
Day 2: Mountaintop Adventure & Cultural Clues
Morning: Hiking the Gunung Putri
- This was the big one. Gunung Putri. Or so it's called. The trek was beautiful, through lush green, that filled you up with a sense of satisfaction. The trail wasn't always clear. It started smooth, then became a bit steeper, with some rocky patches. My spouse was worried about slipping, but I told her to have fun. And we did!
- Opinionated Language: The view from the top? Utterly worth the trek. Breathtaking. Stupendous. Even made up for the questionable breakfast (a buffet of mostly processed things).
Afternoon: Exploring the Area & Finding Hidden gems
- We decided to drive around the nearby villages. We also tried a local eatery, but it was closed. It was fine though.
- Anecdote: The kids decided to buy a toy, but they didn't know how to haggle. So a street vendor took them for a ride. I had to teach them how to bargain. The vendor thought he was being smart.
- Doubling Down: The drive back was the worst part. We had to go through traffic, and all the kids did was to complain. It was so annoying, that I had to ignore them and blast my favorite music.
Evening: Prayer & The Pool… Again
Another wonderful meal! It was fun. The kids asked for some snacks.
Emotional Reaction: This was the day when I was feeling the holiday the most. A sense of gratitude. Then, I had to go pray. And I went to the pool.
Messier Structure: This is the hardest part of being a Muslim.
Day 3: Check-out & The Longing for Home
Morning: Packing. Always a chaotic scene. Toys everywhere. Swimsuits drying on everything.
Afternoon: One Last Pool Dip & Departure.
- Opinionated Language: The pool was so good. It's the best part about this trip. And the kids agreed.
- Quirky Observation: The kids had a contest for who could stay in the water longer. I loved it as it was. Pure bliss.
Evening: Jakarta. Traffic. Home.
- Emotional Reaction: The whole trip was just the best. I wanted to stay. I miss it now.
Overall Impression: The Safiina Point Syariah Hotel wasn't a luxury resort, but it was a good hotel. The location was well-suited for access to activities such as hiking, cultural exploration, and the gorgeous scenery. The food was good. The staff was pleasant. It also had a pool. As for the memories? Those are priceless. I would come back again.

Escape to Paradise: Safiina Point Syariah Hotel – Before You Go (And Maybe Regret It Later...)
Okay, so...Safinna Point Syariah Hotel. Sounds...intense. What *is* it, exactly?
Alright, buckle up, buttercup. It's a *syariah* hotel. Think of it as a hotel adhering to Islamic principles. That means no booze, no pork (duh), and generally a more... well, let's say *modest* atmosphere. Picture women swimming fully clothed, and prayer calls punctuating your nap time. It’s in Gunung Putri, which, let's be real, isn’t exactly Bali. More...suburban serenity. Prepare yourself. Seriously. I almost brought the wrong swimsuit. Thank god I didn't.
Is it *actually* paradise, like, Instagram-worthy paradise?
Paradise? Ehhh... Look, the pictures are, as always, *optimistic*. The pool *is* pretty, when you can actually get a decent sunbed (more on that later, trust me). The gardens are meticulously trimmed, which is nice. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. It's not Maldives. It's more like... a well-maintained, slightly-less-wild version of your aunt's backyard. Still, it's a nice escape from Jakarta's glorious chaos, assuming you’re into that kind of thing. I definitely appreciated the lack of constant street noise, even if the nearby mosque kept me awake the first night with its… enthusiastically delivered sermons.
What's the deal with the food? I'm a foodie! (Insert dramatic gasp here.)
Okay, so the food. This is where things get... interesting. They *try*. They really do. The buffet is a solid offering of Indonesian staples. Gado-gado? Yum. Nasi Goreng? Always a winner. But don't expect Michelin-star precision. It's more... home-cooked, sometimes lovingly, sometimes… well, less so. One particular chicken dish, let’s just say, had a…unique texture. I’m pretty sure it was also talking to me at one point. My advice? Stick to the things you know and love. The fresh fruit selection is usually glorious, so at least there is something to look forward to. Oh, and the coffee? Let's just say it's…strong. Very strong. You've been warned.
The Pool Scene. Tell me everything! Because the pictures look great.
The pool…ah, the pool. It's the heart of the action, or at least, where everyone *thinks* the action is. It's a beautiful pool, I'll give them that. But here is where things get a bit…competitive. Picture this: You arrive, bright-eyed, ready to take a dip. You grab your towel, excited for the sun. You look for a sunbed…and they're all GONE. Taken. Occupied by towels strategically placed, sometimes by people who aren't even *there*. Classic travel shenanigans. I swear, there should be a law against that level of sunbed hogging. My advice? Get there early. Like, dawn patrol early. Or accept the fate of sitting on the floor. Seriously. I witnessed actual arguments over sunbeds. It was, shall we say, *entertaining*.
What about kids? Is it kid-friendly? Because I'm thinking of bringing my…squad of tiny humans.
Absolutely. It's a kid-friendly paradise. The pool is shallow in some areas, which is perfect for little ones. There were several families there during my stay, and it seemed like everyone (adults and kids!) were having a blast. There are other activities for kids too, like small playgrounds and, depending on the season, some extra kid-friendly activities. Just be prepared for noise, lots of noise, but hey...kids will be kids; the staff seems used to it.
Let's talk about the rooms. Any horror stories?
Ooooooh, the rooms… Okay, the rooms are clean and comfortable, mostly. They aren’t exactly the Ritz, but they're decent. My first room had a… slight moldy smell. Nothing catastrophic, just a faint whiff of dampness. Fortunately, I had my own scent, which really helped. I requested a change. The second room was better. Do check all the fixtures. And the hot water? It's… intermittent. Sometimes you get a scalding shower, sometimes a tepid drizzle. It's all part of the adventure, right?! So, be prepared for the occasional leaky tap or slightly wonky air conditioning. It's a small price to pay, I guess.
Okay, okay, so I'm sold (or maybe not). What's the worst thing about Safiina Point? (Be brutally honest!)
Okay, if I had to pick ONE thing... it's… the location. Gunung Putri is lovely, but it's remote. Getting there can be a bit of a trek (depending on Jakarta traffic). And, let’s face it, there's not much to *do* outside of the hotel. It's definitely not a place for wild nights out. It is the definition of "escape". If you’re looking for a bustling nightlife, or even just a quick walk to the local shops… forget it. I was starting to get a bit stir-crazy by the end of the trip. But, depending on your goal, that might be just what you need!
Is it a good value for the money?
Yeah, it's pretty good. It's not super expensive, and you get a lot for your money, especially when you factor in the pool and the generally relaxing atmosphere. Just keep your expectations in check, and you'll be fine!
So, would you go back? Spill the tea!
Hm... Probably. Maybe not *immediately*. I'd need a strong dose of relaxation and the promise of a really good sunbed situation. And perhaps a significantly improved chicken dish. Safiina Point is definitely an experience. It's not perfect, it's a bit rough around the edges, and at times it's a bit… well… weird. But it’s got its charm. You know? I'm conflicted! I'd recommend it, with some serious caveats. Just remember: pack your patience, your sense of humor, and maybe a backup snack. You'll be fine. Maybe. Good luck! AndBook Hotels Now
