Tips :
1. You can stay in any hotels as long as it is convenient for you to move from point to point.
2. This is the time where things,girls,massage and every other things will be higher than normal day (compare between weekend versus weekend). Remember to bargain or be prepare to pay MUCH higher than normal.
3. Be patience,be nice,be humble and avoid too much attention.
Oh,and cut whatever expectation you have by at least half too.
4. Whichever hotel you are in,the hotel staffs would be a batam beginner's best bet (for the time being). People can run,hotel cannot run. Get their hotel name card if you are buying a sim card (you will need to at least have the hotel's number if their name card runs out).
5. In case you are visiting any of the Batam's Men spa :

...and go only before 3pm.
6. Get a full day driver if you have 2 or more people during a peak season like this. If you wish to book a full day taxi, you will need to ask around when you arrived to Batam. Below is my taxi reference for you :
