A Great Fitness Club

I had a fantastic experience at the fitness club! It's semi-outdoor, not too crowded, and the equipment is well-maintained. The staff, including Ricki and Chandra, were incredibly friendly and helpful. My only suggestion would be to update the music selection, as it tends to be repetitive. Still, I enjoyed every workout during my stay.

I had a decent stay at Avara Hotel, which is situated right in the heart of Pontianak. My room was clean and the shower was great, but the air conditioning struggled to keep the room cool. The location is perfect for finding food and drink nearby, but the breakfast could definitely use some improvement. Overall, it's a suitable place to rest, especially given its value for the price.
