Unbelievable Hidden Gem in Sungkai, Indonesia: OYO 93523 Laras Paminggir!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dissect OYO 93523 Laras Paminggir in Sungkai, Indonesia. And let me tell you, this place…it's an experience. Forget your perfectly manicured hotel reviews; we're going raw, baby.
The Hook: Is This Place REALLY a "Hidden Gem"?
Okay, so "Hidden Gem" is thrown around like confetti these days. But honestly? Laras Paminggir has its moments. And it's got its… moments. Depends on what you're looking for. If you're craving a sterile, perfectly-curated Instagram experience, maybe skip ahead. But if you're up for a bit of adventure, a dash of the unexpected, and a whole lot of Indonesian charm, then keep reading.
Accessibility: The Great Indonesian Dance
Let's be real, navigating Indonesia can be… interesting. And accessibility is generally a work in progress. [Accessibility] is a mixed bag. While the [Elevator] is a plus, I'm not entirely sure it's always operational (a common theme, let's be honest). [Facilities for disabled guests] are listed, but you’ll definitely want to double-check specific room details and call ahead. [Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], and Valet parking] are available, which is a godsend.
Food, Glorious Food (and the Occasional Mystery Meat)
Okay, the food situation at Laras Paminggir…well, let’s just say it's an experience. They have [Restaurants], a [Coffee Shop], [Snack Bar], [Poolside bar], and [Room service [24-hour]]. They're going for variety! [Asian Breakfast], [Western Breakfast], [Buffet in restaurant], [A la carte in restaurant] – the works! But… and this is a big but… the quality can be hit or miss. One morning, I thought I ordered a coffee, but what arrived was…something vaguely resembling a caffeine-infused mudslide? Taste, personal! But let's just say, I learned to love the [Breakfast takeaway service]. I had to [Alternative meal arrangement] a few times, I noticed that the restaurant offered [Vegetarian restaurant] which is nice! I even spotted [Bottle of water] being served.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - The Gut-Busting Bonanza
- Restaurant Scene: I wouldn’t necessarily call this a ‘scene,’ but there are options. [Asian cuisine in restaurant] is obviously a thing, and they try for [International cuisine in restaurant], but, again, standards fluctuate. I will say, some of the [Salad in restaurant] options were surprisingly fresh. The [Soup in restaurant]? A bit of a gamble. A [Bar] is on site, and yes, they have [Happy hour].
Relaxation: Where Dreams… Maybe Don’t Always Come True
Now, the real draw! The promised oasis of calm. Laras Paminggir advertises [Pool with view], [Swimming pool [outdoor]], [Poolside bar], [Spa], [Spa/sauna], [Sauna], [Steamroom], [Massage], [Foot bath], [Body scrub], [Body wrap]. Sounds amazing, right? Well, hold your horses. "Pool with view" is… debatable. Let's put it this way: the view is there. Not exactly postcard-worthy, but it is there. The Spa… oh man, the Spa. I’m not sure what exactly I expected, but let's say the experience was unforgettable. The masseuse was enthusiastic (let’s go with that adjective). The massage itself? Well, it involved a lot of…pressure. And a lot of laughter, mostly on my part. The body wrap was like getting wrapped in a delicious mud cake, and then left out in the sun for way too long.
My Epic Spa Fail
I will NEVER forget trying to explain to the front desk that the massage wasn't that enjoyable.
Cleanliness and Safety: Is It Safe Here?
- [Anti-viral cleaning products] is a positive sign. The [Daily disinfection in common areas] gives me a little comfort, especially these days. [Hand sanitizer] is everywhere, and that's good. [Room sanitization opt-out available] seems odd, but I guess maybe some people are that trusting. The fact they advertise [Sterilizing equipment] is good, however, I do wonder how well this takes place. [Rooms sanitized between stays] is standard.
- [Check-in/out [express], Check-in/out [private], which are nice options.
- [CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, Front desk [24-hour], Smoke alarms, Security [24-hour]] all contribute to a feeling of safety.
Rooms: The Good, the Bad, and the Blackout Curtains
[Non-smoking rooms] are a must. The rooms themselves are, well, let's call them "functional." The [Air conditioning] is a lifesaver. [Blackout curtains] are essential. [Free Wi-Fi] is good, because, you know, INTERNET. But, here comes the fun part. I got stuck with a room that had one of those TVs that only got one blurry channel. The [Bathroom phone] just made everything even weirder. My room, though having an [In-room safe box], it wasn't that safe at all, the room door wasn't that trusthworthy.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter (Sometimes)
They've got the usual suspects: [Air conditioning in public area], [Concierge], [Daily housekeeping], [Dry cleaning], [Ironing service], [Laundry service], [Luggage storage], [Safety deposit boxes], [Cash withdrawal], and [Currency exchange]. It's all there. But here's where things get a little… localized. The [Convenience store], for example, might be a little light on actual conveniences. If you need something specific, don’t count on it. There's no [Doctor/nurse on call]
Internet: A Love-Hate Relationship
Okay, let's talk internet. They boast [Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!], which is good. But the signal… well, it's spotty. And the [Internet access – wireless] is not always reliable. I spent a significant amount of time wandering around trying to find a decent signal. [Internet access - LAN] is here, but I wasn't exactly sure where to use it.
For the Kids: Family Fun… or Family Chaos?
They cater to families with [Babysitting service], [Family/child friendly], and [Kids facilities]. But I can't tell ya much about it.
Getting Around: Your Taxi Ride to Adventure
Airport transfer is available, and [Bicycle parking], [Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Car power charging station, and Taxi service, Valet parking] are provided, making it relatively easy to get around.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your average itinerary. This is my itinerary, and it's gonna be a mess. We're talking OYO 93523 Penginapan Laras Paminggir Sungkai, Indonesia, and I'm going in blind. Wish me luck.
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Mosquito Massacre of 2024 (a.k.a. Welcome to Sungkai!)
- Morning (Because I’m a morning person… sometimes): Landed in Jakarta. Jakarta! Ugh, the airport. Did I mention I hate airports? So many people, so little personal space. Anyway, managed to navigate customs without losing my passport (a win!). Flight to Lampung. This whole journey felt like one long, slow, slightly sweaty exhale.
- Afternoon: Finally, FINALLY, at Penginapan Laras Paminggir. It looked… exactly like the pictures. Which, let's be honest, is a minor miracle. The room? Clean-ish. Bed? Firm. Okay, so far, so good.
- Anecdote: The air conditioning kinda worked. Mostly just whispered promises of coolness. Kept thinking, "This is fine." You know, meme-style.
- Evening: The mosquito assault began. No, seriously. They’re like tiny, buzzing ninjas. Did they breed them on a nearby farm? I swear, I spent the first hour slapping at them, cursing under my breath, and generally feeling sorry for my soon-to-be-eaten flesh. Managed to kill maybe twenty. Lost count after that. My arms looked like a polka dot painting. Dinner? Found a local warung, grabbed some Nasi Goreng (delicious, even though I ate it with one eye on the next mosquito attack), and retreated back to the bunker (a.k.a. my room). Praying for a mosquito-free night.
- Quirky Observation: Why is it always the tiny ones that get you? They're like mosquito assassins, silent and deadly.
- Emotional Reaction: Pure, unadulterated annoyance. Also, a creeping sense of impending doom.
Day 2: The Search for Breakfast and the Majestic (Maybe?) Rice Fields
- Morning: Woke up to… more mosquitoes. Okay, new game plan. I’m going full-body armor. Found a breakfast place (surprisingly), ate the most satisfying plate of Mie Goreng. This is why I do this.
- Messy Rambles: Where was I? Oh, yeah, breakfast. The coffee was strong, the noodles perfectly greasy. I felt human again. Almost.
- Afternoon: Decided to venture out. Did some research, and the rice fields were supposedly amazing. Found a local driver (another slight adventure of its own), and we took off.
- Strong Emotional Reactions: The rice fields! Seriously, they were breathtaking. So green, so vast, so… peaceful. For a moment, I forgot about the mosquitoes. The sun, the breeze, the smell of the earth… it was enough to make you wanna stay
- Doubling down on the Experience: The rice fields were the highlight. A vast, vibrant tapestry of green, stretching as far as the eye could see. The locals were kind and gave me some advice on how to avoid mosquito bites, it worked. I felt incredibly small but also connected to something bigger. The sheer beauty of it made me stop and just breathe.
- Strong Emotional Reactions: The rice fields! Seriously, they were breathtaking. So green, so vast, so… peaceful. For a moment, I forgot about the mosquitoes. The sun, the breeze, the smell of the earth… it was enough to make you wanna stay
- Evening: Another mosquito massacre. But hey, the rice fields made up for it.
- Opinionated Language: Honestly, the mosquitoes are a small price to pay for the view. They're an annoyance, but I will not let them dominate my experience.
Day 3: Sungkai Wildlife Reserve and That Darn Mosquito Problem.
- Morning: Today, wildlife! Got up before dawn (why do I do this to myself?) and went to Sungkai Wildlife Reserve. Spotting all different types of animals.
- Afternoon: The reserve was… well, it was a reserve. Saw some monkeys. Which were pretty cool. Not a lion, as advertised, but hey, you can't win 'em all. This is the life, I guess.
- Evening Mosquitoes still there.
- Minor Categories:
- Food: Mie Goreng, Nasi Goreng, random snacks I can't pronounce. Everything is cheap.
- Transportation: Mostly a mix of taxi and walking.
- People: Everyone is incredibly friendly, even when I'm sweaty and covered in bug bites.
- Budget: I didn't budget, but I think I have plenty of money, I'm eating well. I think.
- Ending:
- Emotional Reaction: It was okay. Sungkai needs some work. I can't say I regret this trip, but I'm also ready to go home.
Day 4: Flight Back
- Morning: Last mosquito check. I will miss this place.
- Afternoon: Goodbye, Indonesia!
And there you have it. My messy, imperfect, mosquito-filled adventure in Sungkai. Would I recommend it? Maybe. Bring bug spray. Lots of bug spray. And maybe a hazmat suit. Because, honestly? Those mosquitoes mean business.
And that's it! I hope you enjoyed it!
