Family friendly resort
A getaway from city life!!!! Suitable for those who don’t really want to do any of the typical shopping in Batam and just want to hang around by the beach, relax and do Swimming. Husband and I even booked a couple massage at the resort. And we put our 6 year old at the kids club whilst we did this. Massage of course is not as cheap as you would find it outside the resort. But, at least we didn’t have to worry about what my little one would be upto. The room is standard and basic. Even the toilet facilities is just a stand up shower. No bathtub/jacuzzi style bathroom. But, it’s okay. The facilities around the resort make up for the basic room. Breakfast was superbbbbbb. So much food and there was even a little entertainment dance number by the staff! We dined by the poolside and even had Shisha. Food at the resort was Ofcourse not cheap as you would find it outside. There is a free shuttle bus every 2 hours that goes to Batam Ferry Terminal. So, if you want to head to the town, you can hop on the free shuttle bus. Gojek doesn’t come to the hotel, and the hotel transport at the resort can provide transport around Batam for you. We paid about $30 (if I’m not wrong) return trip to go to Nagoya. The driver waited for us too. SUNSET IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! so get your camera/phones ready for that beautiful shot by the swimming pool/beach with the sunset in the background. Would definitely return!!

Great place to visit if you have a drone
The bridge was very crowded, since it's so popular in Batam. We wish we came there for sunset, then I'm sure the impression would've been better. You can read our travel blog about our experience in Batam at a2kmedia.net
