Unbelievable Makassar Getaway: Studio Good Delft Ciputra - Your Dream Vacation Awaits!

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the whirlwind that is Unbelievable Makassar Getaway: Studio Good Delft Ciputra. Forget polished brochures and sterile reviews – I’m here to give you the real deal, the messy, glorious truth. And trust me, this place… well, it’s got layers.

First things first: Accessibility. Okay, so, I'm not in a wheelchair, but I'm always thinking about it. Because travel should be for everyone, right? Sadly, here, the review starts a bit wobbly. Doesn't explicitly say wheelchair accessible rooms. That's… a bit of a bummer. They do have an elevator, which is good! But this is something they really need to be more transparent about. Accessibility is a MUST in today's world.

Cleanliness and Safety: Now, this is where things get interesting. The pandemic has, understandably, cranked up the paranoia. The good news? Good Delft Ciputra gets it. They've got the full shebang: anti-viral cleaning products? Check. Daily disinfection in common areas? Check. Individually-wrapped food options? Check. Staff trained in safety protocols? Check. They’re REALLY going for it. I felt surprisingly secure. The hand sanitizer stations were everywhere, which, honestly, is a comfort these days.

Food, Glorious Food! Okay, let's talk about the actual reason we travel: FOOD. The dining options are… plentiful. Restaurants galore, a poolside bar, a coffee shop… I felt like I was wandering through an all-you-can-eat buffet of culinary possibilities. They offer Asian breakfast? Yes. Western breakfast? Also yes. International cuisine in restaurant? Oh, you betcha!

I went full-tilt into the buffet. Now, I'm not usually a buffet person. They can be hit or miss. But this? THIS was pretty decent. I'm talking about the full breakfast buffet here. The fruits were surprisingly fresh, the pastries were… acceptable (nothing to write home about, but fueled the journey). And the coffee? Surprisingly good. One particular morning, I had a major moment of "wow, this is life." That one single moment just became a reason to extend my stay.

I'm just thinking about it now, and it makes me happy.

Ways to Relax & Pamper: Okay, now for the fun stuff. The spa is a must. My friend persuaded me into doing a body wrap. I had a moment of self-consciousness, but who cares? It was actually a transcendent experience. I walked out feeling like a new person (minus the small bit of wrapping they forgot to remove). The pool with a view? Stunning. It felt like pure luxury.

Internet & Tech Stuff: Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Hallelujah! No more scrambling for a signal. The internet was fast and reliable, which is a HUGE win when you're trying to actually get some work done (or, you know, post envy-inducing vacation photos). Internet access – LAN is available if you are feeling nostalgic.

Services and Conveniences: The Concierge were super helpful. They arranged a taxi at 3 AM (because jet lag, am I right?). The daily housekeeping was immaculate. Seriously, my room never looked less than pristine. They have a Dry cleaning, Laundry service, and even Ironing service. The convenience is unreal. I did use the Cash withdrawal option.

For the kids: Yes. I am not in the least but I did see a babysitting service.

Getting Around: Airport transfer? Thank goodness! I hate navigating new airports. They have a car park.

In-Room Amenities: This is one of the best parts. Air conditioning. The Blackout curtains are essential after a night on the town. The Coffee/tea maker brought me joy every morning. The Free bottled water was a lifesaver. I loved the bathtub!

The Pitch! (Because That's What We're Here For!)

Okay, so. You're looking for an escape? A place where you can actually breathe? Where modern concerns are taken care of? Where you can eat your weight in deliciousness, get pampered until you're putty, and then collapse into a fluffy bed?

Studio Good Delft Ciputra Makassar By Travelio Kalegowa Indonesia

Okay, buckle up, buttercups! Because this isn’t just an itinerary, it's a goddamn therapy session disguised as a trip plan. We're going to Makassar, staying at Studio Good Delft Ciputra by Travelio Kalegowa. Let's see if we survive this… and whether I find a decent cup of coffee. (Spoiler alert: I'm already fearing the instant coffee crisis).

Makassar Misadventures: A Messy Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival and the Great Coffee Quest (aka, The "Are We There Yet?" Edition)

• Morning (or, as I call it, "When the Sun Decides to Taunt Me"):
  • Get up early. (Ugh). Airport transfer to Studio Good Delft. Travelio promised a "seamless" experience. Yeah, right. My life is a masterclass in anything BUT seamless. Hoping the check-in process isn't a Kafkaesque nightmare. Imagine: me, frazzled, surrounded by luggage, and the receptionist’s eyes just glazing over. It's a distinct possibility.
  • Quirk Alert: Before even leaving, a quick perusal of the Travelio app. I cross my fingers, I pray my room looks like the pictures. Because, let's be honest, the pictures are always a lie. A beautiful, alluring, deceptive lie.
  • Emotional Reaction: Excitement…and a healthy dose of dread. I'm genuinely EXCITED to be in a new place, to feel the different air, to hear the new sounds. But the logistics always give me the jitters. Are my bags packed? Did I lock the door? Did I remember to feed the cat? (Okay, no cat because I'm traveling, but you get the gist).
• Afternoon: The Coffee Hunt Begins and the Indonesian Heat Wave
  • Arrive at Studio Good Delft (fingers crossed, it’s real). Unpack. Or, more accurately, I'll throw my clothes into a pile and tell myself I'll organize later (famous last words).
  • The mission: Coffee. Serious, real coffee. Not that powdered, lukewarm, sad excuse for a pick-me-up. I've read online about some cafes in town. Time to brave the Makassar heat and see if I can find a decent brew. Wish me luck. I'm already sweating just thinking about the humidity.
  • Anecdote: Last time I went somewhere with the Travelio app, some key was missing, and I'm still haunted by the memory. The drama… the stress… the sheer inconvenience. I spent an hour wandering in a heat wave. Pray to the gods and the universe…
• Evening: Lost in Translation (and Dinner)
  • Dinner at a local restaurant. I’m going in blind. Google Translate at the ready. Ready to accidentally order a plate of fried… what? Who knows! The adventure's the point, right?
  • Quirky Observation: I anticipate lots of enthusiastic servers talking at me, not to me, and me smiling and nodding cluelessly. I’ll order “something delicious” and hope for the best. Culinary roulette!
  • Emotional Reaction: I'm nervous about the communication barrier, but also thrilled at the possibility of experiencing a new culture and food.

Day 2: Exploring, Experiencing and the Sinking Feeling of Tourism

• Morning: Fort Rotterdam and the Ghosts of Pirates
  • Visit Fort Rotterdam. History! Culture! Hopefully, some shade. I'll probably be the awkward tourist taking pictures of everything. Maybe I’ll stumble into a tour group.
  • Anecdote: Last time I visited a fort, I got so caught up in taking photos and reading that I completely missed the actual point of the fort. Guess the ghosts don’t appreciate tourists who can't stay focused.
  • Emotional Reaction: I'm fascinated by the power of the past. I love to imagine the lives of people who walked those very streets. Also, I'm really hoping for a good photo op.
• Afternoon: Tanjung Bira Beach: The Great Sand Experiment (and Maybe Regret)
  • Take a day trip to Tanjung Bira Beach. Or at least, attempt to. I'm expecting idyllic turquoise water, white sand, and Instagram-worthy sunsets. Realistically, I'll get sunburned, sand in places I don't want sand, and a general feeling of existential dread.
  • Quirky Observation: I'm envisioning myself trying to figure out "appropriate beach wear." Bathing suits? Sarongs? Is there a dress code? Do I need to learn to surf? (Spoiler: I can barely stand up on dry land).
  • Emotional Reaction: Part excitement (beach!), part utter terror (sunburn!). I really hope the travel is smooth. And I'm pretty sure I'll be regretting this decision at some point.
• Evening: Dinner and Disillusionment (Maybe?)
  • Dinner in Makassar. Maybe seafood. Maybe something I've never even heard of. More Google Translate, more awkward gesturing, and the ever-present pressure of choosing the "right" dish.
  • Rambling: I’m already picturing the post-beach exhaustion setting in, the sun-kissed skin (hopefully not burnt), and the looming sense that I'm not actually experiencing anything, just passively consuming it. The ultimate tourist dilemma.
  • Emotional Reaction: More exhaustion and a hint of disappointment. I’m worried that I’ll return to the hotel feeling unsatisfied, like the trip hasn’t lived up to its potential.

Day 3: The Search for the Perfect Souvenir (And a Decent Breakfast)

• Morning: The Craft of Souvenir Shopping
  • Breakfast (hopefully, not the instant coffee nightmare). Search for souvenirs. I'm the worst souvenir shopper. I always end up buying the wrong things, paying too much, and regretting everything later. But the "obligations" and the promise of bringing something home for loved ones compels me.
  • Anecdote: Last time I bought a souvenir, it fell apart on the plane ride home. Just a jinxed souvenir, destined for failure.
• Afternoon: Relaxing and Re-Evaluating (Or Just Napping)
  • Return to Studio Good Delft. Relax. Or maybe… nap. Or maybe stare at the ceiling, pondering the meaning of life. The travel fatigue is starting to kick in.
  • Quirky Observation: I predict a deep dive into the hotel TV guide.
  • Emotional Reaction: I hope the hotel room is clean and actually quiet. I need a refuge from the heat and the hustle.
• Evening: Last Dinner and a Farewell
  • One last dinner in Makassar. Try a local dish I haven't tried yet. Make some observations from my trip.
  • Rambling: I'll probably spend most of the evening in my head, replaying the trip, the good bits and the bad bits.
  • Emotional Reaction: A mix of satisfaction and sadness. Satisfied that I survived, but sad to be leaving a new place.

Day 4: Departure and The Aftermath

• Morning: The Dreaded Airport and The Review
  • Check out. Airport transfer. A final, desperate prayer that everything goes smoothly.
  • Anecdote: The airport is where my travel anxiety really goes into overdrive.
  • Emotional Reaction: Mostly relief.
• Afternoon: The Assessment
  • Start to assess the trip, which means a review of the Travelio suite. What went right, what went wrong, and what I’ll never book again.
  • Opinionated Language: If the coffee was terrible? I'm writing a scathing review. If the Wi-Fi was spotty? Prepare for a rant. If the location was noisy? Hell hath no fury like a sleep-deprived traveler.

Final Thoughts:

This is a mess, isn't it? But hey, that's real life, isn't it? I'm not aiming for perfection. I'm aiming for honest. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to pack. Wish me luck. Or, you know, just don't. I'll probably need it anyway. Maybe the coffee will be good.

Unbelievable Makassar Getaway: Studio Good Delft Ciputra - Your Dream Vacation Awaits! (Probably… or, Maybe?) – FAQs That Don't Lie!

Okay, I'm IN! How Do I Even Book This Thing? (And Will I Screw It Up?)

Alright, deep breaths, my friend. Booking is...well, it's the beginning, isn't it? You likely found this place on a booking platform (I'm guessing? You *did* find it, right?). Follow the prompts. Seriously though, double-check the dates like, three times. I booked a flight to the wrong city once. Let's just say I ended up staring at a very scenic... airport parking lot. Don't be me. Check it. Check it again! And if you're really freaked out, call the host. Hosts usually love answering questions. They *should* love answering questions. If they don't, maybe reconsider the booking. Just sayin'.

Is the Airport Transfer Actually Hassle-Free? Because 'Hassle-Free' and Travel Rarely Coexist.

Hassle-free is the ultimate travel unicorn, isn't it? Look, the transfer *probably* is. They *say* it is. My experience? Well, I arrived at 3 AM after a flight from… let's just say a place *very* far away. And the driver. The driver was... sleepy. Very sleepy. We arrived, eventually, but the car smelled faintly of durian. Durian! I'm not even sure how that's possible. So, *mostly* hassle-free. Pack some earplugs, and maybe a nose clip. Just in case. And mentally prepare for the potential for… character-building experiences.

What's the Studio *Really* Like? Does it Actually Look Like the Pictures? (Be Honest!)

Okay, the pictures. Let's talk about the pictures. They *usually* have that 'flattering angle' thing going on. I walked into the studio, and my first thought was, "Hmm… smaller than I imagined." But honestly? It *was* clean. Kudos! And yes, the Good Delft theme is… present. Picture Delft blue everywhere. Possibly *everywhere*. If you're not a Dutch pottery enthusiast, it might be a bit much. Me? I'm a sucker for a good theme. It actually grew on me. By day three, I was saying "Oh! Look at the darling blue vase!" (Don't judge me!) The bed? Comfy. The air con? Lifesaver in Makassar heat. The Wi-Fi? Okay, it was… decent. Let's just say I wouldn't plan on live-streaming the entire trip. But good enough for Instagramming your breakfast. Important stuff.

Is there a kitchen? Can I, like, cook actual *food*?

Kitchen…yes! Utensils… surprisingly well stocked (I think). Cooking an actual meal...hmm. I recall attempting to make instant noodles and it wasn't exactly Gordon Ramsey-approved. The stove was okay (it *worked*), and there's probably a fridge for your Bintang beers (essential). Don't expect to whip up anything too extravagant, think basic. But honestly, with the amazing street food in Makassar, who needs a gourmet kitchen?

How Close is it to Cool Stuff? Is it a Safe Area to Wander Around In?

Okay, the location. Ciputra is... well, it felt safe. I walked around at night, and I felt pretty comfortable. But, you know, basic street smarts still apply. Don't flash wads of cash, keep your valuables secure. That kind of thing. Close to cool stuff... depends what you consider "cool." You're not *right* in the heart of the old town (that's where the action is, but the Studio Good Delft is better. I think so...). Grab a local ride or rent a scooter (if you're brave – and have the license! I'm not brave).
Ah, local rides! That's where the *real* stories begin! One time, I got in a becak (a bicycle rickshaw) and the driver was chatting away, and I had no idea what he was saying. He kept pointing, and smiling. I am *terrible* with non-verbal cues. But the ride? It was wild, fast, and exhilarating! I think I lost a year of my life, but it was the best experience ever.

The Bathroom… Is it Clean? Is the Water HOT? This is Crucial to My Sanity.

Alright, the bathroom. Let's be honest, a hotel bathroom can make or break a trip. I'm happy to report... it was clean. Really clean. Shiny. And – praise the travel gods! – the water heater actually worked. Hot showers in the Makassar heat? It's glorious! The pressure? Might be a *little* on the weak side, but honestly, after a day of exploring, even a trickle of hot water feels like heaven. They also provided shampoo, which is a nice touch. No need to bring your own (unless you're super picky – I'm super picky, but I survived). The tiles were… yes, they were blue. Of course they were blue. It's the Good Delft aesthetic, remember? I got used to the blue.

What Should I Eat? Where Should I Go? Give Me the Good Stuff!

Okay, food. Food in Makassar? Prepare to gain a kilo or five! Coto Makassar (the local beef stew) is a must-try. It's rich, flavorful, and everything that is delicious in a bowl. Find it at a local warung (small restaurant) – don't be afraid! The street food is AMAZING. Seriously. Try the Pisang Epe (grilled banana with palm sugar) - absolute heaven. Also, explore the beaches! Tanjung Bira is a bit of a trek, but it is worth it, for sure, so plan a whole day, and don't forget sunscreen.
Also, a random note that may or may not be helpful, but I'm telling you anyway: I befriended a local guy who knew all the best hidden-away noodle stalls. And the best part? He spoke little English! We just pointed at things, laughed a lot, and somehow, managed to have some of the best meals of my entire trip. So, be adventurous! (Or, learn some basic Indonesian phrases! It'll help.)
