Ciater Hotspring aka Sari Ater Hotspring Park is about 30 minutes from Tangkuban Perahu crater. It is little place in the middle of huge tea estate and is a one stop place for entertainment and relaxation.
It has many small pools where you can just dip your legs or swim.The pools gets warm mineral springs, which are created by the heat from nearby volcanoes. The temperature of the water may go upto 42 degrees celcius, so better check first before soaking completely.
You can enjoy swimming in warm sulfurous water pools that can heal rheumatism and skin problems by paying extra or can just soak your feet or sit in the free pools.
There are people who offer foot massages or body massage( hand, shoulder and legs) ranging from 40K to 150K IDR. The standard foot reflexology is 40K IDR for 25 minutes. Smoking is allowed and it’s very irritating that people just smoke everywhere!
There are animal statues which can be used for photo taking. If you forget to bring extra dress, don’t worry you can find one in the small shops.They sell tees, shorts and other accessories.
There are sheltered canopies on both sides of the downstream mostly used for picnics I guess but the mats didn’t look clean.
Besides the hot pools, there are other activities like paddle boats, flying fox( 20,000 IDR/ person) and treetop walk but couldn’t find any ticket counter nearby.May be will open in the evening!
