My wife and I, together with our son and his wife, stayed for two nights at this nearly a century old Puncak Pass Resort. This was the final stop of our marathon Indonesian holiday visiting 5 towns in Bali and in Java. The Puncak Pass Resort is located at 1500 metres above sea level. The weather can get very chilly in the evenings. In fact, at about 3 pm the stratus cloud begins to blow from over the mountains and soon shrouds the whole area in mist or fog..The concept of the Resort is an open layout, spread over lush green slopes.The open spaces are carefully balanced with the built up spaces so as to preserve the natural beauty of the resort and prevent overcrowding, so as to maintain the privacy of the guests staying in the resort. We were allocated a two bedroom studio suite, the Bangkung. The studio suite had a spacious living room, en suite bathrooms, a well equipped kitchen and a fireplace. It had a classic wooden style which over the years had become old and dated. The floor had become difficult to clean properly and was dirty. As it was a bit challenging to negotiate the steep and winding road leading to the restaurant located at the main building, a buggy service is available for guests. The dining area of the restaurant is spacious. Indonesian and western cuisines were served there. The service was excellent. Waiter Sasmita needs mentioning; he was so helpful and very attentive to our needs during our breakfast time at the restaurant. Although the Resort was pricey, the experience we had during our stay was unique and memorable.
