Padel Prive: four courts, and the best rating in Cikarang

Padel Prive is at Jl. Raya Cikarang-Cibarusah no 27 in Sukaresmi, Cikarang Selatan, and describes itself in six words: Cikarang's premium semi-outdoor padel courts, four of them. Ayo files the site as indoor and the venue says semi-outdoor, so read it as roofed rather than sealed and air-conditioned. What the court descriptions add is the layout, which here is the interesting part — Court 1 sits by the entrance and the café with a tribune and a mini private area, Court 2 has the same tribune and private corner, Court 3 is the spacious one, and Courts 2 and 3 both book under the name Subur Court. Green, green, blue, blue.

The pricing is the finest-grained in the city: seven quotable weekday tiers from Rp148.000 up to Rp278.000, and six weekend ones from Rp158.000 to Rp218.000. The expensive hour is therefore a weekday evening and Saturday is the flatter day, which is the reverse of what most groups assume when they pick a date. The Rp138.000 at the bottom is Ayo's promo floor. The house rules are one line and leave nothing to interpret: no smoking, vaping allowed. And the rating is the highest in Cikarang at a sample worth trusting, 4.93 from 114 reviews — with the 'prive' in the name doing real work, since half the courts come with their own seating.

Four courts is sixteen on court and a ceiling of twenty-one. An hour is six rounds to 21 — a Mexicano; the sixteen-player Americano wants fifteen rounds and a longer booking.

The two courts with a tribune and a private area are the ones to ask for when the group brings people who are not playing. Say which court you have, because here it decides where everyone else sits.

Seven weekday tiers means the quote depends on the hour you picked. Get the figure for your slot before dividing it by four.
