Hi,

I have been to Turi Beach on National Day period. Its really a nice plc for a short getaway.

 

[butterkiss]

hi dear,

how much did u pay for ur package then?

 

[dear_dear]

butter: $92 excluding seaport taxes $8 (2 way) including land transfer, breakfast & ferry ticket. But when I go that time its not opening ceremony yet so many things are not opened but I get to enjoy the SPA there. Body Scrub, Herbal Wrap, Steam & massage $118 (2hrs) I believe there will be increase of prices bcoz I happen to see the leafet on the room rates. Weekend juz the room itself its abt $180 (if i remember correctly)

u can find cheap massages...watersports in batam n not 2 mention beer drinking...seafood..

 

[marilyntay]

Hi summerala,

HARRIS resort customer service is very good. But facilities so-so only lor.

 

[sysa]

Hi,

Can try Turi Beach on Batam island too.

It's a nice quiet resort for a short getaway

 

[dottyback]

any 1 happen 2 noe if theres go-kart in batam, n where at?

 

[lionaxue]

batam is not really safe either. I had been working there for almost a year. Always riots and robbery happened. I think is because too much ppl came to Batam to find job but in the end could not find one. To survive, they ended up being robbers, pickpockets, etc. Most women ended as pros.
Well i would suggest Tanjung Pinang. Things cheaper and much more safer.
Came across one hotel web provide package comes with massage and hairdo.

[aloha68]

Bintan has nicer beach than Batam and the things are more expensive.

I would recommened Turi beach rather than Harris.
The beach at Harris is not clean but the service is good.
Turi has a mini Tanah Lot where u can go for a drink at nite. They use a buggy to bring u to your room upon checking in.

Overall, I prefer my stay at Turi more than Harris.

 

[bellscope]

Hi Liona,

Was very interested in our info about tanjung pinang being safer and cheaper than batam. Howeverm couldn't seem to get onto the website which you supplied about a package there.

Anyone with any info about tanjung pinang? How to get there, accom, packages, etc?

 

[tyikkim]

Hi people,

The Tea Tree Spa in Holiday Inn Batam is Award Winning Spa - Best Spa in Indonesia.

They are currently running an excellent package that is only S$100 inclusive of ferry tickets. The catch is that it is only applicable for weekday treatments exlcuding eve of and public holidays.

 

[whiteveil]

[tyikkim]

[princessjen]

Hi Aloha,

[email protected]

[happi]

Any comments for Batamview resorts?

 

[diamond42]

Hi G,

I would like to have the number to call too, just sent you a PM. Pls check.

 

[minssy]

hi all,

just to share some comments on batam.
i just came back from a 1 day guided which cost only $29. basially, i think there was quite alot of waiting and travelling in the bus. the only good thing was that our tour guide brought us to this place called 'Indo Thai' for massage. Its only S$20 for a full massage. then we also went to harris to check out the rates and the massage for non hotel guest is $33 i think (basic one lah). so i think its reasonable. btw, the masseuse will ask you for tips one hor! but $2 is enough lah..

heard from my tour guide that the chinese pple there will accept S$ and the locals will take Rupiah so actually you may not need to change so much money. and for changing money, please do it only when you are in batam. (there is also a money changer at the ferry terminal when you arrive). Indonesia had changed their currency twice and some local money changers may be expired which you will not be able to use.

also, there is something i didnt know and i felt abit dunnoe what to say. the tour guide was talking and asked if we enjoy the trip blah blah blah. then after that, he suddenly pass an envelope and want pple to put money inside. i was quite taken aback. my FH was like, yah its very common one. so we just gave him the left over rupiah we had. haahhah!

anyway, i think its a place that i dun think its that fun. if i ever wanna go again, its bcos of the massage and thats abt it...

 

[happi]

hi minssy,
Do u have the address for the 'indo thai' massage?
