Favorite thing: For now you know a bit more about this beach resort with a Lady Ghost. The legendary Nyai Loro Kidul (Princess of the South Sea) had been flung down deep into the blue waves below and, effort restored her beauty to grab the men running )swimming!) of bad luck. The Nyai Loro Kidul legend runs deep in Pelabuhan Ratu, where the rough surf and strong undertow have claimed many unwary victims ...

Fondest memory: Mr. Peter Jansen wrote about the Indian Ocean: "We always tell our guests to watch the waves," he said. "If you watch the waves, I think nothing can happen, but if you turn your back on them, anything can happen."

If you plan to visit this remarkable hotel, please ask if Pak Acil is around. He is a "orang cebol" (dwarf, see the shadow-photograph) who is the door-keeper of Room 308. Try to get an interpreter and hear some unbelievable stories. For some reason I feel home here, even getting sometimes the creeps at deepest night ...
