Ancol is still one of the place where most people go bringing their family & children during holiday. The beach pool now is becoming horrible during holiday. It will took you more than 1hour to exit the area.
Advise: avoid during holiday seasons.
It's better come in the morning ' if saturday and sunday there is always aerobics at beach
There's no wave at all but if you want to go for holiday with family this place is good you can choose any entertainments
Its a nice place. But the beach is dirty.. however u can enjoying boating in sea.. A water park is near to it, u can go there also
Can enjoying beach, but sometimes too crowded
Great place to spend with family. Kids absolutely love to play the sand here.
Nice for playing with my kids nearest convenience beach to my home
Personally and in y opinion this beach is not recommend for swimming because the water is not so clean. Just good for relax, enjoy the sea and wind and walking around. This place mostly crowded during weekend, school holiday, new year or national holiday.
Great view but very crowded in the long weekend or during the holiday
ruame banget
urinoir dan WC banyak yg ga berfungsi
but well you ain't get other choice to enjoy beach near jakarta, right?
Picnic and beach side family outing if you like being in a crowd. Restrooms had no water. But the kids liked the water and sand.
Kids happy met the water and sand. Crowded on the weekend. Difficult find out car park
Welp, where do I start? This is actually a great spot. Everyday before dawn you'll see people swimming for medicinal purpose. You have to know they're people with limited abilities. Some of them are on wheelchairs! This place is really unfriendly for disabled people with wheelchairs. You should have paved part nearby the water for this purpose. Then, make an accessible restroom/changing room for wheelchairs. You actually had one each in female & male changing room but whoa, you either need more cleaning service crew or build more of these important room. The shower in the sand is actually dangerous place for having to step inside of them. The outside are higher & made of rough, that's a huge hazard! Just recently my uncle fell and almost bust his head open. Really close, like two inches more and we're gonna have to stich his head. Yep, he's the reason I insist this place to be morw accessible to wheelchair. If you're still going to ridiculously charging us for entering a public beach before butt crack of dawn, you better make it decent. I will change this review once the entrance fee is worth the experience.
Family friendly beach, it's safe to enjoy with kids.
Can be very crowded on holiday season.better visit on normal weekend.
Need more facility to wash up after swimming.
heaven, especially after 10 pm :) not so windy beach
Its a beautiful beach in ancol that has to be visited while in jakarta
A great place for spending time with family.. But no place for car park.. To far away to children for walk
It's beach, who doesn't love beach? Especially the breeze in the evening. The restaurant, live music and food are what I enjoy the most. But the cleanliness is the lowest.
Great place to have a family time and hanging out with friends. There is a place to ride a bike call ourbike and next toe the beach we can swim
Nice place to hangout with family. Swimming or just playing with sand. But there are plenty of trash that annoyed.
Calm place to take a stroll in the afternoon.. But got distracted by the people riding bikes on the platform.. They should have ban bike riders on the wood platform
Good place to swim or spend time with family. Free floor mat provided. There is restaurants in the middle of the sea. Good place for dating or sightseeing. Hunting photos are recommend especially when sunset or sunrise. 24 hours places. Usually when the sun come down. There is dance together lead by the stuff to end the day.
It has wifi, loads of sand to build sandcastle, clean public shower and toilets, and picnic ground. You can borrow picnic mat for free (banana boat, jet ski, and water playhouse is available, but these are not free). On weekends, it has jet ski show and fitness instructor that will ask all visitors to get up and move around with the music. The Beach Pool is free, but you have to pay for Ancol complex entrance, and the food stalls and restaurants near the Beach Pool are pricier -so bring your own food if you can. Just remember to clean afterwards. Yes, they have lots of trash bins, too.
I didn't like the beach. But for any reasons, its pretty enjoyable for hangout to release stress
Popular beach spot in Ancol area, but little bit too crowd, especially when holiday or weekend
to crowd, and to small,. thats why they named it 'pool'. the water kinda dirty and smells not good.. less attention given by whoever in charge around here.. the toilet and washing-room was terrible.. and as a public area, too many people smoking freely without any hesitation,. and the sand was clearly brought from somewhere else :)
This is a popular beach in Jakarta. If we visit Jakarta, then this is the only recommended beach to visit. Quite nice to my review. Crowded during weekend, ok during workdays. Several boat services offered around here, we can bargain for the rate of services to go around the sea using the boat.
Nice place inside jakarta to play with kids, but don't went there on weekend or hollyday, it will be so crouded
Over Priced, The water is polluted, Need Something to Clean the Water. The current water needed to be test at Labs to measure the pollution index. The Regulator must limited and inform the visitor when Ancol is reached its capacity. You dont want to pay tickets to enjoy Traffic inside Ancol.
Good place for family vacation. Keep it clean is a much to make more comfortable.
Good view. No more.
Artificial beach, water contaminated with oil, entrance fee way too expensive, everything are expensive.
Not worth ed if you just came to see beach.
What else.. a nice view.. nice restaurant..
Great venue to have morning sport activities, especially the Fun Dance, where you can dance as you like with all the people at the beach.
fantastic black burgeri love it..but no restroom in this restaurant
Don't go to the beach here, specialy on weekend. No place to park your car, crowded with people, dirty sea water. Its ok if you just want to walk around and enjoy the sunset, its got a good view. But to play here, I rather not
Maybe it's because I'm used to my beautiful French beaches, but I found the Ancol beach very bad. We planned to come here to relax, plunge our feet in the water, and read quietly while lying on the sand. Well, expect nothing of all that! We were horrified by the color of the water. Black! And there are trash everywhere, in the sand, in the water, in the grass nearby Don't expect calm neither, as there are loudspeakers with music all the time. Finally, it's so crowded that you will be lucky to find a place in the shadow.
You can pass this place and try the other attractions in the area instead.
Murah, dan oke
Love to come here in the morning before 9. We can join for gym and view jet ski attraction
A nice city beachin small size.
It's not Bali quality beach, even far from it. But if you want to take your kids and get a dip in the sea, without having to travel, this is the place. The beach is clean and so is the water.
My kidos love this spot. Nice place to spend your weekend .
Nice spot in the Ancol dreamland. The wooden bridge circling the 'pool' normally full with people walk, jog or just taking pictures. Some of the fishermen also harboured their small wooden boat and offer their fresh catch fish, shrimps or squids to the crowd.
