Hi, I need some help here.
I will be in Batam for 3D2N. I have booked both resort, Harris and Holiday Inn, and a 1 day Batam City Tour (9am-5pm).
I would like to know which resort offers more facilities, so that I can plan my City Tour on the "less facilities" day.
Below are some details --
Fri to Sat - Harris Resort
Sat to Sun - Holiday Inn Resort
Batam City Tour - 9am to 5pm (should plan it on fri or sat?)
Will have elderly and kids
appreciate all advise Thank you

hi 5ane,
3D2N ah? maybe you will be bored
anyway, holiday inn is a nice hotel but i doubt you can do much in the hotel.. try the massage lor.. shd be quite cheap though outside can be cheaper...
as for the city tour, do it on a sat lor.. it will take you the whole day...
harris is popular with the massage too...

hi minssy,
actually personally find 3d2n boring too but its a big family gathering (5 full family wif ah ma & kids)and Batam is the cheapest alternative compared to other country. and since the happy gathering is what matters most, I think anywhere cheap is fine (abit cheapskate hor keke)
you mention to do city tour on sat, meaning harris resort more facilities?

hi 5ane,
i see i see
i find it quite boring for the city tour cos we never play go cart or parasailing.. so we just sit in the bus and walk around the hotel etc etc... i suggest tour on sat cos its weekend and places will be more crowded so more intersting mah
i dun think both holiday inn & harris has alot of facilities... its mainly the swimming pools & massage thats all lor.. thats why pple go batam for massage and probably thats about it...
however, should you go to places that sells local products, the titbits are quite worth to buy... not bcos they are super duper cheap but its the better stuff that you can spend money on....

hi totto,
just a note to say I've just been back from Turi Beach Resort 28thMay. Do take note that the 'highlight', Island Bar, is under renovation. Overall verdict, its a really quiet place good for sea breeze and sleep only. Also personally find that the 'romantic bed post' (pic shown on website)act as a very practical mosquito net. Hope that helps

hi minssy,
we have more or less decide to do watersports(since its nearer to Harris) on day 1 and city tour on day 2.
Fri ~ Check in Harris - Watersports - Night at Harris
Sat ~ Check out Harris - City Tour - Check in Holiday Inn - Night at Holiday Inn
Sun ~ home sweet home
You think this planning is "workable"?

hi,
The 'normal' City Tour works this way-- they fetch u from pier then bring u around and by 5pm they send you to hotel for check-in.
But for my case, instead of fetching from pier, they fetch from harris... when they come fetch us, we will juz check-out Harris then dump our "luggage" onto the bus, then proceed with the tour, by 5pm, they send us to Holiday inn.
I'm hoping things will turn out as planned.

hi
Is bintan beach cleaner than batam one?

Hi,
Go for Holiday Inn if you're at Batam. It's really nice and people there all very friendly. When my hubby was there for work, I went with him and basically just lazed by the pool from morning till evening. The Tea Tree Spa is also very good. My hubby made a lot of noise cos I went for a massage almost every day. haha! Anyway, if you check in on Sunday, you can get the promotion package S$100 nett and ferry ticket price will be refunded to you. There's a kelong near to Harris which sells seafood. I went there for dinner and the food is not bad. Quite cheap also. Holiday Inn has bbq seafood buffet dinner on weekend nights. I didn't bother going to the city centre cos it's quite 'messy'. But there's a mega mall there where you can buy their local keropok and stuff. Hope this helps.

Don't try that restaurant, I had heard that it's really expensive and not worth while.
Go to A1 Food Court, it's in Nagoya town, near their "lucky plaza".
When u walk in, the restaurant on the right (not the first one but slightly further in..3rd store or something) called "Hai Seng" or something like that.
Dh and I ate there. Steam crabs, black pepper chicken, dou miao and white rice...less than S$17!

Whiteveil, you can take the cab from holiday inn. I am quite sure there will be cabs outside that will be willing to take you to Nagoya town and the Mega Mart
That time I stay in harris hotel, to go to nagoya cost S$10 per trip (ask to pay in rupiah heehee...save u about $0.50-$1 depend on currency price). To Mega Mart, i think might be more expensive. My fren told mi take around 30mins or more the ride!
going to the town already got places to eat.
This was what i posted in another forum when I went batam:
- Water, pls buy from super market...cheaper
- A1 Food Court - Hai San seafood. CHEAP! Had 2 small steam crabs, black pepper chicken, Dou Miao and white rice. Total 85k rupiah (S$15/S$16). The shop is near Lucky Plaza, pls don't let taxi driver cheat u like we did. Taxi shld cost abt 5k - 10k. Either that, walk! (ask around) Cos it's really NEAR!
(G) Shopping (Nagoya)
(i) Matahari (Lucky Plaza)
--> Forgot abt shopping there...cos when we went to city we were hungry for lunch
(ii) Robinson
--> Bought 3 tops and 2 pants for my kids. Relatively cheap...abt $2-$3 per top or pants
(iii) Centrepoint
--> pretty new. We bought DVDs there. Buy 5, free 1. Cost us abt 90k rupiah ($16/$17). Very CLEAR...ask them to let u check first.
**Do take note, batam's town is very much like Malaysia johor last time. Not with so many tall buildings or shopping area. So if u intend to do "high-class" shopping...u might rather try to go to the "mega mart".

Rupiah. (unless u eating in the hotel like holiday inn, turi beach or harris where u can pay by S$)
You can change ur money at the money changers at in Singapore or those major shopping centre.
There are some road side stalls that are pretty clean. I think my hubby ate at one that was diagonally opposite (can't really remember) of "lucky plaza". Price is about sama S$2. If not, u can eat at the "food court" in the shopping centre or go to their restaurants or MacDonalds.
I very chin cai with food. So my standard not so high.

Never try out the spaz.

The harris hotel was not too bad either. But of course Holiday Inn is the famous spa mah>

Hi Jennifer
Thanks for your info.
I am thinking whether should i book with a tour agent here or to book directly from Harris through internet and purchase own ferry tickets, etc? Actually booking through internet might be $40 more cheaper. Any advises? Can anyone advise whether should i book the day tour ($12nett) which bring me to waterfront city centre to play go-kart, parsailiing, etc, go the the mega mart, seafood lunch, etc? Or if i don't book the day tour and go myself, is it very difficult to go to these places and more expensive? tks tks!

I'll be going to batam this friday!
Will be staying at Harris Resort & really look forward to the couple spa with my hubby!
Btw, do the cabbies charge by per trip or by head count?
Also, anyone tried the watersports there had any problems with specs/ contact lens? I'm keen to try the banana boat & I'd rather put on my lens than specs. Anyone got 'thrown' off the boat before?
