Hi bro,are you going with family? Montigo Resort is at Nongsa area of Batam,very very far away from the cheong places discussed in this thread. But the good thing is everything you ask for are already within the resort you stayed in,all the way from sea food to massage (massage (aka Spa) in Montigo Resort should be professionally clean). The main cheong scene of Batam is at Nagoya area. I attach a map for you below to allow you a better understanding of where you will be as you state and how far you are from the regular cheong scene :
If you insist to go for the regular dirty massage,then you will need to take about 30+ mins ride to and then about 30+ mins fro from where you are. Cost of taxi fare is likely to be 100k from point A to B and point B to point A would be another 100k.(around there)
If you are looking for sea food,you may try the below Sea Food restaurant that was quite popularly discussed in this thread some years back :
Pantai Batu Besar
Jl.Haji Muhammad Saleh
RT 01/RW 02
Pulau Batam
Kepulauan Riau - Indonesia
Tel : +62 778 761180
Monday - Friday
9:00 am to 9:00 pm
Saturday & Sunday
9:00 am to 9:30 pm
If you are going with friends (not family or friends who dont cheong) who has intention to cheong in Batam,my suggestion is,change your hotel booking and move yourself closer to Nagoya area. Then of course,you can still stick with your original plan but you will need to travel far for more and better choices.
Good luck and may you have a good trip.
