Welcomed with fragrant Jasmine leis
Hyatt Gold Course
Rooms
Restaurant
Menu for the little ones was quite popular among our kids.
Weather
It started raining in the early afternoon, which was the pattern everyday during our stay in March. Apparently, the rainy season was not over in Yogyakarta in March.
Buffet Dinner
Swimming Pools
The big water slide was the biggest hit among our kids and it seems that it’s a big selling point for family tourists. We ran into some friends we knew who were also staying at Hyatt Regency for the spring break. We did not go anywhere as we have two very young children, but we did not mind it at all and the older kids, my two (8 and 5 years old) and our friends’ oldest one (6 years old) would go down the slide for hours straight. It seemed to be the case for other kids as well.
Ramayana Special Dinner
Can you tell that kids got really into it? The three girls in the front were my friend’s and our girls.
The Ramayana Dinner is offered every Saturday. It was IDR150.000++ per person. I find it very reasonable for dinner and performance and the best part is that you don’t have to leave the hotel! As I started to feel very sick on the last night of our stay in Yogyakarta/Jogjakarta, I could only see the performance for a short while and I had to go back to our room to rest. It worked out fine as our baby son needed to go to sleep by then. The Ramayana dinner started at 7:00 p.m.
My daughters still to this day talk about our trip and ask if we could go back to Yogyakarta. Even though I got sick towards the end of our trip, I had a blast. It was a successful trip and we always think fondly of our time. If you have good family friends who would travel with you to Yogyakarta, I highly recommend doing so. It was really FUN!!!
The cost of the hotel was about IDR 1.500.000 (US$155) with KITAS (foreign registration card) which does not include breakfast and breakfast for 4 people was IDR 280.000 (US$28). Therefore, it ended up being a little over IDR 1.800.000 (US$185) for a family of 5. Hyatt Regency Yogyakarta requires an additional room if you have 2 children or more if I remember correctly. The annexed room had a discount price, so the room rate for an annexed room was less or about half of a regular room and thus it was not too bad.

Beautiful photos!
Thank you!
cool hotel! 😀
I often went to Yogyakarta but I haven’t go to this hotel yet~ hehe
It’s very nice especially for kids because of the slide, but adults will have fun on the slide, too! The food was good, too, and reasonably priced.
It looks like a beautiful place Koho, thanks for sharing! We are going to see Borobudur next month, so your post in these regards right in time!
Great! I hope you’ll do the sunrise tour! The posts about our experience with the Borobudur sunrise tour and our accomondation, the Saraswati Borobudur Hotel near Borobudur are up on my blog, too.
kereeeeen..!!like it ^_^
Thanks!
looks a fab trip, other than you feeling poorly at the end! I love the greenery and water features of the hotel and that slide looks fabulous – for small and big (adult) kids. What fun!
What a great find. I imagine without the KITAS card though it would be a lot more expensive?
It wasn’t that much more expensive. KITAS discount is nice, but it’s usually a little. 🙂
great posts on the Yogyakarta trip Kaho! Nice to know that you are having fun in Indonesia… will def. miss your fun posts on Indonesia when you move to another country… ;(
Thanks for your sweet comment. I’ll miss Indonesia a lot!
