    The lungs of Borneo, rich in natural resources, a city where the river flows, and home to the indigenous Dayak tribe. These are just a few things we know East Kalimantan for. A province in Indonesia that could soon become the Indonesia’s future administrative capital—The New Awakening of Nusantara (the locals call it IKN, Ibu Kota Negara). The name of the future capital means “archipelago” in Javanese. It will be based in Sepaku, within the regions of North Penajam Paser and Kutai Kartanegara.

    Actually there are several interesting places you can explore around Balikpapan such as Bengkirai Hills, Sun bear conservations and another places, but it will require you to rent a car or take a taxi since it quite far from Balikpapan. Public transport to that mentioned place seems not available at the moment. But.. if you want to rely with public transportation, the city centre itself is quite good and has some places to explore. It's also more organized and cleaner compared with the nearby East Kalimantan capital, Samarinda. For the local "angkot"(mini non-airconditioned van) i saw this also more organized and easier to understand it's route compared with similar transportation in Java. At least there are two popular beach in Balikpapan (Kemala beach and Manggar beach) accessible by this public transport. Always note that the "angkot" frequency may severely reduced after sunset! Alternatively, you can always try using Online Taxi and Online "Ojek"(Motorcycle taxi) apps such like Go-Jek and Grab. It's faster and more convenient, but might quite costly. Outside city centre, you might have a hard time finding a driver especially at night. If you're staying outside city centre (like near Airport) and planning to have a dinner in city centre, better go there before sunset and stay around until night, then return to your hotel from city centre which you can got online taxi/ojek driver easier. In addition to destinations, you may want to try signature dishes from Balikpapan, the crab dishes. Other than that, there are a lot of dining places around, especially near the city centre around the coastline.

    There is absolutely nothing to do except go shopping.

    There is absolutely nothing to do except go shopping. EWalk is the best shopping centre - it's where the wealthy Borneo people go. Clothes are cheap and reasonable quality. The people are lovely. I came to visit my daughter who was volunteering at a local wildlife sanctuary. The sanctuary itself was great but the politics around it are not. I loved viewing the proboscus monkeys at the mangrove centre - that's a really good tour if you can manage to organise transport to it. Am trying to organise a visit to the orangutans tomorrow - but getting around is very difficult and there's no way I would drive myself in the usual SE Asian traffic. They are so much better drivers than I am.

    From check in to check out, our stay was absolutely delightful. The room was spacious and clean, and we had a lovely view of the pool. (Please note: the central pool belongs to the private apartments, not the hotel. The hotel's pool is upstairs and is rectangular, still a good size for some relaxing laps) Breakfast was really nicely laid out and had plenty of options for people who wanted continental and for those who wanted something more local and traditional.

    I love the Blue Sky Mantao very much. When I had my breakfast, I soon discovered how delicious and amazing the Mantao was, especially when is taken with the beef. Omg. It was amazingly delicious.

    We were treated so well here from the moment the hotel's driver met us at the airport to the time we checked out. We were upgraded at check-in and gifted a tropical fruit plate as a welcome gift. The dinner buffet was exceptional in choice and quality. We only stayed one night, but what a wonderful introduction to Indonesian Borneo - we felt like minor rock stars.

    On top of a big shopping mall, so it's very convenient. A good place to stay to enjoy the mall. We got 1 hour extra checkout time. We are allowed to park just at the hotel's entrance, although we need to move it due to the heat. I don't think there is valet service for hotel guests. Breakfast was pretty good with many varieties.
