For two days a stopover in East Java, before crossing to Bali. Arrived in Kalibaru .. our place of residence the "Margot Utomo Eco Resort". Margot Utomo is not the name of the owner, but means something like big gate. This resort was built around 1975 by a plantation owner in a period of malaise in the agricultural sector. With the resort he wanted to spread his risks. A few kilometers away is a t****e resort of the same company. The resort where we stayed has an attractively built lobby with seating. Opposite it a beautiful open pavilion, with a roof that rests on large columns. We ate here excellently, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Linen tablecloth, linen napkins .. come here for that in the tropics. Large swimming pool. Linked bungalows, each with veranda and seating. Spacious high room, simple bathroom with everything you need. Excellent working wifi in lobby, bungalows and restaurant. The gardens, or rather the park, are beautiful and well maintained. If you are lounging on the veranda you imagine yourself in an Indian novel by Couperus. Outside the resort a few mosques .. the multiple calls to prayer are clearly audible. We did not find it disturbing at all. After all, you are a guest of account in the country with the largest Muslim population in the world. What a nice place .. Margot Utomo Eco Resort!
