As someone who's been in a long-distance relationship for over a year now, finding a Christmas gift for my boyfriend can be a little bit tricky. Sending a package directly from Indonesia to the UK is freaking expensive, but I also want to add a personal touch to the gift for him.

Grand Dafam Ancol: A Family-Friendly Hotel in North Jakarta, Indonesia

Leave a Comment / accommodation, hotel, indonesia, review, tips, travel / By

After some consideration, my boyfriend and I decided to choose Grand Dafam Ancol as our accommodation when we stayed in Jakarta. Initially, we were planning to spend our days in Jakarta to go to Dufan and Atlantis in Ancol, so we thought booking a hotel in Ancol would be easier to get around. 

Long story short, except for a few strolls around Jakarta Old Town, we didn't get to Ancol at all because of the weather. It was raining the whole time we were in Jakarta, so it wasn't the ideal weather to go to either the theme park or the water park.

In the end, we spent most of our days in Jakarta staying in our Deluxe Queen Room at Grand Dafam Ancol, except for when we went out to Jakarta Old Town and visited my sister in her apartment. 

In this post, I'm going to share a review of Grand Dafam Ancol as an accommodation in North Jakarta based on my firsthand experience of staying there.
