Alamanda Family Villas, Pool & Local Tours

We really enjoyed our 6 night stay at Alamanda. The staff were so friendly and looked after us well. Nothing was ever a bother and they really made our trip special. The included breakfasts were yummy with fruit, toast, cereal, yoghurt, juice, tea/coffee and the choice of cooked options prepared for you (eggs, pancakes, omelettes etc.). I'm gluten-free and had no problems with food options. The 3 course dinners were great and so cheap!! The cooks made great cheese toasties and fries whenever our teenagers were craving 'western' snacks also. Grab also deliver to Alamanda if you're wanting something delivered to eat. We did tours with Alamanda and their guides were knowledgeable and the vans were modern and clean. We had booked some tours booked with other companies before we left home but we won't next time. Alamanda tours were much less expensive (much!), more flexible with days (avoiding bad weather) and really great! Our teenagers loved the pool and the electric scooters. The countryside around the villas is great to see. The location is a little away from the bustling inner city but Alamanda has drivers to take you there any time (a 10 minute drive and very cheap). You could also order a grab. It was always nice to get back to Alamanda and away from the noise and car fumes in the city. The included stocked drink fridge (soft drinks) and daily laundry service was very generous and appreciated. We loved our stay. Thank you Frans and team.

This was our second visit to Alamanda Family Villas & Pool and again we enjoyed our stay very much. The team arranged also our train tickets from Jakarta to Bandung and from Bandung to Yogjakarta. The staff is outstanding and extremely helpfull and friendly. Also via Alamanda team a taxi was arranged for our further trip to Malang / Broma / Kalibaru and ferry crossing to Bali. Furthermore they can arrange all kind of excursions !

With a smile on our face and tears in our eyes we‘re packing our bags to leave our „home“ in Yogyakarta. Thank you so much Frans and teams (or should I say „family“?) for those 7 amazing days. The kids were sad as they realized we have to go: „This is the best one we’ve ever been and deserves 5 stars!“ Mas Tono, thank you for your all! We hope to see you in Europe. Frans, we don’t say goodbye. We say „Auf Wiedersehen“ for a reason. Once again, thank you for the laughs and love you share with the people around you! Stay healthy and see you — hopefully soon! P.S.: The beds and pillows are really good.

We (my wife, myself and our 5 year old son) stayed at this place for seven nights in April 2023. And although I did not write any reviews in the recent past, our splendid experience at Alamanda led me make an exception: the rooms are very cosy and nicely decorated, but the thing I want to highlight most is the incredible amount of hospitality that we were given throughout our stay there. Our guide and driver Jovi showed us so many special places in and around Yogyakarta, and Frans (the owner) helped us incredibly well when we were facing some logistical problems due to Idul Fitri. But what is most present for me is how well everybody tried to make us a perfect time and how they tried to fulfill the needs of a 5 year old (and not always easy to handle) child. How well they did that, showed me a conversation I had with my son shortly after we left the place: when I told him that I was gonna write a review where I can give 1 to 5 stars for our stay, I asked him: „how many stars should I give? From 1 (very bad) to 5 (very good)“ - His answer: „1.000!“ :-)

Great hospitality and service, best in the region! Frans and his staff will do anything to make your stay memorable and as comfortable as possible. From a couple of days to weeks, they always have a suggested program with fun and interesting activities. But also feel free to make requests of your own. Been here 3 times now, and will keep coming back whenever we are in the area.

Simply amazing! A friend recommeded this villa to us after staying there a couple of years ago and heading there was definitely an excellent choice. This was one of the most beautiful and serene places we stayed at during our trip. We had an entire "bungalow" to ourselves which was spacious and beautifully decorated. The place was clean and homey too. What amazed us was the attention to details provided by the team. From a 'small surprise' when we arrived, flexible rides to/from the city, to delicious meals at the accomodation, we really couldn't ask for more! Apart from that, the team was always happy to recommend places to go and were more than willing to show us small treasures in the city. Thank you so much Tono, Frans and Anton! :D
