OYO 798 Yokima Beach Hotel

A quiet place for a family holiday, away from the crowds but still close to shops. There’s no swimming pool, which I think is a good thing, so kids need to go to the beach to swim. The eastern beach is lovely for sunrise, and this is a decent budget choice for families. Bring a portable stove if you want to cook seafood bought from the fish stalls along Eastern Beach road. It’s a classic inn in Pangandaran Beach, facing Eastern Beach, not far from the fish market and conservation forest. It’s all on one floor, so the rooms are close to each other, and there’s a pleasant central garden open to the sea breeze.

The lobby is huge, with sofas and lots of books like a mini library, and the inner garden is cozy. Parking is spacious, check-in was super quick and easy, and the amenities are complete. Rooms are a nice size, with a balcony and a good-sized bathroom. The room was clean, the shower worked well, the TV picture was sharp, and the AC was cold. Staff were friendly. The location is great, very close to cagar alam, with restaurants next door across from the east beach. Fried rice was tasty at 15k/portion. Two downsides: they never cleaned the room daily, and an older staff member, without a uniform and around 50s with greyish hair, overcharged us for Pop Mie. The menu said 8k, but he charged 10k instead.

A quiet, clean place to rest on Pangandaran’s East Coast. The West Coast is only a 10-minute walk away.

Good value for the price, with friendly staff. It’s a cozy place with a beach view, near the wildlife sanctuary.
