Harris Trip Report
Hello All... I'm back from a 3d2nite Batam Trip. Total damange for the trip is $406 for 2 pax include tax, 3Hrs SPA(2pax), 2 breakfast, 1 Pizza, 1day batam tour plus seafood Lunch and early check-in + late check out.
Yah the trip was pretty ok but i would not say its fanstatic. Bintan is better so fro those who wants to go on a short relax gateaway, pay abit more to go to Bintan. more high class. Batam is bascially very low class and cheap place. The SPA is cheap for our 3 hrs spa, it includes 30 mins body scrub, 1.5 hr massage, 30mins body mask, 30 mins herbal/milk bath. and this cost $80 only! compared to SG 80 is very cheap. Bintan is more exp but the enviroment is nicer. In Batam, there is 2 kind of enviroment. indoor and outdoor. outdoor are newer and its more like open concept without aircond. our appointment was at 4pm and it was really hot so we took the indoor but the herbal bath outdoor. Indoor is quite run down.. looks OLD and not classy nor romantic. Outside is better as u can see from the pic. But the down thing is other people can peep u as the wood thing can see through but not clearly. and there are many people walking pass so its quite exciting to bath outside ahhahahaha!
We took herbal bath bcos they say there was NO MILK!!!!!!!! WHAT THE HELL... i was so excited abt the milk thing and they say no milk! so turn off.. anyway they say milk bath will not have jazzcuzi so herbal is also shoik cos they really invest in this nice tub with very strong jazzcuzi. The nicest part of the spa was the body scrub and the bathing part.. massage was ok.. i would say pretty normal skills. the bathing part is the last part so by the time its time to bath, its nite.. then its very romantic cos its outside.. and then people can peep then the feeling ahh very hard to describe! hahahaha... the body mask i dun like.. cos they put the mask all over me then wrap me.. i feel so sticky when its drying like slping in the mud like tat so dirty...
ok stop for the SPA and for the city tour.. its normal too... like i say batam has nth much to see we went temple then see people eating glass and buring charcol.. damm er xin lor u see they so poor thing bcos of earning need to eat charcol.. and glass.. and we went shopping center.. its like malay style alot of malay clothes so didn't buy anything back except tibits. the seafood lunch was also pretty normal.. bintan's one is nicer and bigger portion. The tour guide says people at batam earn abt $5 a day.... when i hear i was =O WHAT $5 a day and KFC over there is abt $3SGD. the tour guide says KFC can only be eatten by high class and middle class people.. imagine.. 5 bucks a day.. 10 days 50 bucks.. say they work 30days non-stop.. they earn only $150 per MONTH!!!!! how to survive..!! hear like also very ke lian them...
Breakfast at the hotel was lousy i can say 2* the bread hard hard one the food very normal like noodles egg sussage vege bake beans and fruits and cerals.. maybe the country is too poor so the high class bread also hard hard one.. hahahahaa
The room at the hotel is super big. its alot bigger than bintan and the bed i feel is bigger than king size but they say is king size... like 3-4 amys can slp on that bed... hahahahaa... the pool is normal of cos bintan's one is better cos u can see the sea from the pool. then the beach ah i would say its swamp............. HAHAHAHA i dun even feel like seeing the beach so those who wan to go rite book normal rooms no need book their new rooms which are called cavana rooms. Its just new and facing the muddy swamp(their so called SEA).. maybe they country dunno how to differciate between a swamp and a sea...... hahahahaa
you make my life perfect-`
