Jaw-Dropping 19th Floor Bay Apartment Views in Bandar Lampung!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the… uh… Jaw-Dropping 19th Floor Bay Apartment Views in Bandar Lampung! Get ready for a rollercoaster of a review, because let me tell you, after spending a few days there, I've got opinions. And, you know, the kind that involve a lot of head-scratching, coffee, and wondering if I left my shoes in the lobby.
The Hype vs. Reality: Views That Defy Gravity (and Maybe Common Sense)
Alright, let's get this out of the way: the view? Absolutely jaw-dropping. Seriously. 19th floor? You feel like you can practically touch the sea, or at least, pretend you can. Sunsets? Forget about it. Instagram gold. (And yes, I totally Instagrammed it, I'm not made of stone!) But, and there’s always a but isn't there? This view is what makes it, because that’s why you’re here, right?
First, Let's Talk Practicalities. Because Real Life, People!
- Accessibility: Look, I'm reasonably mobile, but I did notice Elevator and Facilities for disabled guests. That's a huge plus. I did see some folks using the elevator though, and it seemed…well, functional. No major dramas. So, good job there.
- Getting Around: Airport transfer? YES. DO IT. Traffic in Bandar Lampung can be a beast. Car park [free of charge] is a win. Taxi service is also available, but I preferred the hotel’s shuttle.
The Important Stuff: Wi-Fi & Other Essentials
- Internet Access and Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Hallelujah! I'm a digital nomad, so this is SERIOUSLY important. The Wi-Fi was decent, a little slow in peak times, but overall, I could get my work done. And they even have Internet [LAN], if you’re old-school…or just paranoid about security. Wi-Fi in public areas also was good.
- Cleanliness and Safety: Okay, this is where things get interesting. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Rooms sanitized between stays. They say all this stuff. And honestly, the room felt clean. But, let’s be real: I always bring my own sanitizing wipes. You should too. Just a habit. Hand sanitizer was readily available. Staff trained in safety protocol. They seemed to be, but I’ve seen some questionable handshakes in my time, you know?
- Food, Glorious Food (And My Breakfast Adventures):
- Breakfast [buffet]: Okay, the breakfast… It was an Asian breakfast. A few Western breakfast options sprinkled in. Let me be honest: breakfast buffets are a gamble. I'm not a fan of the rubbery scrambled eggs, but they had a decent selection of fruit and local pastries. The coffee was okay, but I'm a coffee snob, so…
- Restaurants: There are several Restaurants, a Coffee shop and a Poolside bar. I ate at the main restaurant a few times, for dinner. Food was good, but maybe a little generic.
- Room service [24-hour]: YES! This is a lifesaver. Especially if you've had a long day exploring and just need a burger and a movie.
Doing Stuff: Relaxation Station or Fitness Frenzy?
- Things to do, ways to relax: This is where the hotel really shines. They have a Swimming pool [outdoor] with a Pool with view that is beautiful. There's a Fitness center, I didn't use it. I was too busy relaxing!
- Spa/sauna: This is where I went nuts. They have a Spa, a Sauna, a Steamroom and even Body scrub and Body wrap. I. Was. In. Heaven. I did get one massage that was amazing, but another one felt a little… rushed. So, hit or miss.
- For the kids: Babysitting service? Family/child friendly? I didn't have my kids there, but I know the area and there were the people that seemed very nice with families.
The Nitty Gritty: Rooms, Amenities, and Those Little Annoyances
- Available in all rooms: The standard room features were all there, but it really depends on you. Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Coffe/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Satellite/cable channels, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens.
- Annoyances: Okay, here's where I get nit-picky. The pillows. They weren’t the most comfortable. I had to ask for extra ones. The shower pressure could have been stronger. Small potatoes, really.
Quirks & Observations: The Unfiltered Truth
- The Staff: The staff was, on the whole, wonderful, helpful, and friendly. They were trying their best.
- The Vibe: The vibe is… relaxed. No pretension, which is a huge plus. It’s not super luxurious, but it’s comfortable.
- The "Proposal Spot": Yes, they advertise a "proposal spot." I didn't see anyone get proposed to, but I did see a guy taking a selfie with a particularly romantic sunset in the background.
My Final Verdict: Should You Stay?
Absolutely. Despite the minor quirks, the location and view alone are worth it. It's comfortable, convenient, and offers a good balance of relaxation and activity. I’d recommend it, especially if you're looking for a place to unwind and appreciate some stunning scenery.
Final, Unsolicited Advice:
- Bring your own favorite coffee.
- Pack extra pillows if you’re a light sleeper.
- Don’t skip the spa. Just… go.
- Enjoy the view. Seriously. It's spectacular.

Geoje Island Getaway: Unwind at Break Time Pension (Paradise Found!)
Okay, buckle up, Buttercups. This isn't your grandma's perfectly-polished travel itinerary. This is a chaotic, slightly manic, undeniably human journey through the 19th-floor aesthetic of The Bay Apartment in Bandar Lampung, Indonesia. Prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions, questionable decisions, and a whole lot of "remember that time…"
Day 1: Arrival and Disorientation (aka, "Did I Pack Enough Socks?!")
14:00 - Jakarta - Bandar Lampung (Flight): Ugh, airports. The epitome of human inefficiency. Found myself staring at the ceiling tiles for a solid 20 minutes while waiting for my flight. Pretty sure an actual family of pigeons had set up shop in the rafters. Landed in Bandar Lampung, which, let's be honest, isn't exactly the air travel hub of the universe. Still, the humidity hit me like a wall. Instantly regretted my decision to wear that "cute" linen shirt.
16:00 - Arrival at The Bay Apartment: Finally. The promised aesthetic. Honestly, the lobby did look impressive, if you're into the whole minimalist-meets-marine-life vibe. I'm not sure if that's a real aesthetic, but whatever. The elevators were painfully slow. Seriously, I aged a year waiting for the lift to the 19th floor. Maybe those pigeons have the right idea.
17:00 - Apartment Check-in and Initial Assessment: Okay, let's be real. The view. The view from the 19th floor? Absolutely breathtaking. The ocean, the city lights twinkling… I immediately forgot about the elevator trauma. But let's be honest, the "aesthetic" wasn't exactly vibing with my chaotic energy. It's all very… calm. Too calm. Can a soul live in this level of serene? I'm a walking disaster, really, so I'll give it a shot.
- Observations: Where's the coffee maker from hell? Like, the one that makes instant coffee. I need it. Also, is it socially acceptable to rearrange the furniture to better match my general feeling of mild chaos, or should it remain pristine? I'm torn. And I forgot my toothbrush, damnit.
18:00 - Sunset Gaze and Inner Turmoil: Sat by the window, attempting to channel some zen. Failed miserably. Tried to write in my journal. End result, a string of barely legible scribbles about feeling "weird" and "probably hungry." The sunset, however, was stunning. Worth the minor identity crisis.
19:00 - Dinner Disaster: Hit the nearby warung (local eatery). Ordered something that looked familiar, and ended up with a plate of something that tasted… unique. Let's just say my taste buds had a full-blown revolt. Ate it anyway (because I'm a traveler!), and now, I'm pretty sure I'm going to need a Pepto-Bismol later.
20:00 - Bedtime and Anxiety: Laying in bed, the quiet is slowly killing me. Do I really have to spend the next few days in this pristine environment? I'm going to try to watch some of those beautiful Indonesian shows, maybe find something, but I already know it's not going to work. How does anyone find peace in these walls?
Day 2: Exploring (and Possibly Losing My Mind)
08:00 - Wake up: The lack of coffee is almost physically painful. Forced myself out of bed and stared at the ocean to gain some energy.
09:00 - Breakfast Debacle: Attempted to make coffee in the kitchen, and almost set off the smoke alarm. Ended up with a burnt offering and a slight panic attack. Decided to go out for breakfast.
10:00 - Exploring Tanjung Karang: Hopped on a local ojek (motorcycle taxi) and ventured into the heart of the city. This is where things got interesting. The traffic! The chaos! The general sensory overload! Absolute glorious mayhem. I nearly lost my head a few times, but survived. Found a bustling market and bought far too many souvenirs (because, travel). Did I need that ceramic rooster? Nope. Did I buy it anyway? Absolutely.
12:00 - Lunch in the City: Found a hidden gem of a warung. Tried to order nasi goreng (fried rice), but ended up with something I couldn't identify. Still, it was delicious.
15:00 - Back to the Apartment. The Ocean is a Godsend, really. Spent the afternoon just staring. Staring at the water. Staring away my life. It's beautiful, serene, and absolutely not me.
17:00 - Poolside… and a Moment of Clarity: The apartment has a pool. Decided to take a dip, and it was actually kind of divine. The water was clear, the sun was warm, and for a brief, fleeting moment, I felt… relaxed. Then a small child tried to drown my favorite hat.
19:00 - Dinner Attempt #2: Found a restaurant with actual, non-mystery meat on the menu. Ordered grilled fish. It was… okay. Again, the view was fantastic.
20:00 - Evening Entertainment: Fell asleep watching a documentary about Indonesian history, only to be rudely awakened by the sound of a gecko fighting for survival.
Day 3: The Ocean's Embrace and Final Verdict
09:00 - Breakfast, Attempt 3: Survived the burnt offering. I found the strength, it seems!
10:00 - Back to the Beach: It's the best. So peaceful, I could stay here forever.
13:00 - Lunch: The fish was delicious! I spent the rest of the afternoon watching the waves.
16:00 - Preparing to leave Packing is a nightmare. I think I have a bunch of sand in my backpack.
17:00 - Goodbye. It's weird I have to go.
18:00 - Back home. Goodbye, adventure!
Final Verdict:
The Bay Apartment? Beautiful views, undeniably. The aesthetic? Probably not my jam. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't slightly relieved to be leaving. But! The experience was unique. I learned a lot about myself, my love for chaos, and my ability to eat almost anything. Still, the 19th floor, huh? I wonder if those pigeons had to adjust their flight patterns.
Luxury Castle Apartment in France: Private Pool & Unforgettable Views!
Okay, so seriously... What's the actual view *like* from the 19th floor? Is it *really* jaw-dropping, or just… elevated?
Alright, buckle up, buttercup, because… it's a rollercoaster. They *say* jaw-dropping. And honestly? Sometimes, yeah. Like, the first time I saw it, my coffee nearly went flying. I remember thinking, "Whoa, I can *see* the entire city!" I even tried to find my car, stupidly, from way up there. Totally pointless. But... the sunrises? Forget about it. They hit different. The sky just BLOWS UP with color. You feel like you’re looking at a painting by some insane, talented artist who *really* likes orange. And then... sometimes, when the haze rolls in? It's more like "slightly higher than everyone else's view." You get a good view, but "jaw-dropping" is a bit much. Bandar Lampung gets that *haze*. You know? The one that makes everything look...grey-ish. Still, even then, it’s better than my old shoebox apartment. The point is: it's inconsistent. Which is… kinda real life, right?
What about the bay? Can you *actually* see the ocean? Is it worth the extra rent?
Okay, the bay. This is where things get complicated. You *can* see the ocean, technically. You see the... the *start* of it. The part where the water starts to look like… water, not road. You see ships and boats and the vague promise of adventure! That's what I told myself when signing the lease. Honestly, the "ocean" aspect is more of a distant cousin to the view. It’s not like you’re *on* the beach. It's a *distant* connection. But… and here’s the kicker… the sunsets over the bay are GORGEOUS. Seriously. Worth the rent? Ugh, that depends on your budget, doesn't it? My bank account weeps regularly. But… seeing those sunsets? It's a good therapy session without the actual therapist. So, yeah, I guess it’s technically worth it. Just don't expect to be swimming in it. You might see a tiny, tiny bit of sand, and you're *almost* near the ocean... I just love it.
What if I'm afraid of heights? Run away? Or toughen up?
Ah, the HEIGHTS thing. Look, I'm not gonna lie: it takes some getting used to. The first few days? My stomach was doing that little flip-flop thing every time I looked out the window. I paced. I counted tiles (because what else are you supposed to do?). I’m still clumsy as hell, so thinking about falling is not something I enjoy. If you're *genuinely* terrified, like, full-blown panic attacks? Maybe this isn’t the place for you. Because yeah, it's high. But…if it's more a mild "uh oh" feeling when you look down? Toughen up! Honestly, you get used to it. Now I can look out and drink my coffee without thinking about plummeting to my death. (Mostly.) The view is worth the initial jitters. Consider the trade-off: potential anxiety vs. Instagram-worthy sunrises. Choose your battles.
Are there any downsides to living on the 19th floor? Besides possibly becoming a human pancake?
Okay, besides the whole gravity thing (which is a very real, and valid concern, by the way), here's the lowdown: the elevator. Oh, sweet baby Jesus, the elevator. It *will* break down. It *will* get stuck. Prepare yourself. I'm pretty sure the maintenance guy lives inside it at this point. (Kidding… probably.) And, if there is a power outage? Pray you've got a fully charged phone, comfortable shoes, and a serious sense of humor. Because 19 flights of stairs… that’s a workout disguised as misery. Also, wind. It gets windy up there. Really windy. Sometimes you feel like the building is a giant, swaying, metal tree. I had a near-disaster with a rogue umbrella the other day! Seriously. I thought I'd be launching it into the abyss! But, hey, less bugs, right? So... pros and cons, always. Just always.
Alright, spill the tea: What's the BEST thing about that view? And the *worst*? Be honest!
Okay, the BEST. Hands down, the sunrises. They're so ridiculously beautiful, they almost make me forgive the rent. Almost. Watching the colors explode over the city every morning is a privilege. It’s a little piece of heaven, a little bit of "I'm actually living the dream," even though I'm probably not, and I'm likely broke. Makes you forget, even if just for a moment, the endless bills. The WORST? The damn wind. And the elevator, as I just said. But also, it is...lonely. Like, ridiculously so. You're up there, in your little fortress, looking down on everyone. Sometimes, you feel completely disconnected from the world. Like you're watching a really long, boring movie, and you are not even a part of it. I spent more time staring people on the street. Plus the general… maintenance of life. The distance to everything. If my car breaks down, I just stay home (and pray!). But overall, that best outweighs that worst, by a country mile.
The neighbors. What are they like? Do they have views *to die for* (pun inteded?) too?
The neighbors? A mixed bag, my friend. There's the perpetually tan couple who always seem to be on vacation (I suspect they're drug lords, but that's just my imagination). Then there’s the old couple who are as sweet as can be, and always have cookies. And other people who just kinda... exist. And you know, you're not always around. There’s very little community. But everyone has a view, and honestly I have no idea how they are coping. But yes, they, too, have a view. We all share the same glorious, slightly-hazy vista. And the same elevator woes. So, in a weird way, maybe we're united by our shared, elevated experience. Probably.
Final verdict: Would you recommend it to a friend? And if so, what's the catch?
Would I recommend it? Hmm… it’s complicated. If you have a decent budget, aren’t completely terrified of heights, and are prepared for the inevitable elevator drama… then yeah, I probably would. Especially if they enjoy a good sunrise. The catch? Aside from the rent and the occasional near-Find That Hotel
