Posts: 129Sorry, but it was a crappy Holiday Inn Express. No Sheraton or Marriott for me.
I have no idea which hotels do tricks or will let guests in. I don't speak bahasa, so I don't know Jakarta like you do. I used to frequent the Land of Smiles for the last 25+ years.

Drop down the star scale a bit and you should find things get fuzzier. They all have different strategies to ensure compliance. Disable the elevator to the quarantine floor, employ guards, section off the hotel. Am not sure they would be able to instantly disable your room card if you left the room but it's concievable.
OS was looking at the hotels a long way out of town, like Cikarang. Preferably with only a few quarantine rooms. Not that he needs to get there right now. His last hotel that he stayed in was removed from the list due to lax security ha ha.

You get a room key, but it won't work. If you leve the room, they have to clean / sterilize it before letting you back in. I found this out my last morning. I wanted to come down for final breakfast. They told me if I left room, I could not go back in.
The only exception was the PCR test. Had to have the hall monitor let me back in the room.
No guests allowed, period. If you had an incall, they would have to be with you when you walk out of special arrivals lane for hotel.
There is a table placed outside each door. Your meals, laundry, bottles of water, etc are all placed there. Very minimal personal contact.

Posts: 345Details of the quarantine packages:
So, its not really 5 days, more like 3. 5 days and 4 nights. One can check-in to your hotel as late as 9:00 pm, stay 3 days /4 nights and you will be out by noon on the 5th day. So 3 full days in the hotel + a morning. Seems possibly do-able. But you need a business visa or an APEC card or some other special visa. Tourist visa on-arrival is not up and running yet.
This site has details of the packages offered by most of the hotels, from 2 star to 5 star. https://quarantinehotelsjakarta.com/.
These all seem to be very strict quarantines- defiantly no guests or visitors, however, I think you could have a friend check-in with you, but she will be there for the full time period and have to do all the same PCR tests as you have to.
For some people this will be acceptable, but I agree. It sounds horrible, especially when Thailand is opening without quarantines.

I have no idea how they monitor or control who is going into what room.
I'd mark it as a 5 day dry spell.

Quote: "With the return of international flights to Bali, economic growth from the tourism sector is right before our eyes," said tourism ministry marketing deputy Nia Niscaya. She went on to say the government was introducing a new quarantine initiative called 'warm-up vacation' wherein travelers may roam around their hotels, instead of being confined to their rooms. Travelers could enjoy hotel facilities such as swimming pools, gym areas and beaches during their quarantine period.
Currently, only five hotels in Bali were offering warm-up vacations namely Grand Hyatt Nusa Dua and Westin Resort in Nusa Dua, Griya Santrian in Sanur, Viceroy in Ubud and Royal Tulip in Jimbaran, with a total capacity of 520 rooms. Nia explained that to avoid COVID-19 spreading, the five hotels would have separate quarters for quarantine guests and regular guests. Hotel management must also provide rooms for their personnel catering to quarantine guests. End quote.
A colleague has just endured the seven-day quarantine, he told me it was very strict, he couldn't even order take-away food to be delivered, the only concession to vice was a beer trolley that did the rounds in the evening. Mind you, he is a very law-abiding type, so he made no effort to circumvent the rules and would never dream of doing so. What habitual norms-violating people like us could achieve is a different matter.
Still and all, I really can't see why any tourist would bother visiting Indonesia until they drop this rule.

And I am very curious as to whether in-call is possible. In that case, five days of quarantine might not be soo bad.
And I would have thought in a country with so much informality and where so many things are done so superficially, in some hotels it should be possible to negotiate a mutual understanding allowing one to slip out.

Not just that, there are multiple reports that hotels provide a positive result on the last day to make you stay an extra week for being positive (see youtube for discussion of multiple instances).
