Re: Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread

Have been looking high and low for a couple of hours few days back looking for a hotel/resort that suits me most and i STILL end up in Formosa hotel (wtf!),hehehe...but nonetheless,i found something that could be worthy of my time.

Remember SBS resort that cost 1.5 juta? Remember that Blue Mountain Kelong that cost around S$400 (or more)? And then there is this Montigo Resort that cost about S$350 plus too? Yes, having got some experience in Batam already,i am looking for my definition of a perfect place in Batam to have my holiday,hehehe...here's the one thats "almost perfect".

Quote:
Woda Villa & Spa


Why this resort? Hehehe...becos...


The price i got from Agoda is S$110.00 excluding their +10%+11% charges,so tentatively,the closer price should be about S$135.00,hehehe...too expensive for a night stay? Please read on...hehehe...


S$135.00 which i checked is for the higher end room called Signature Villa. And what kind and type of room am i getting by opting for the 2nd best? The room for paying about S$135 is below :


...on top of it,i also getting my very own private pool IN THE ROOM!!! Hehehe...


For those who didnt know, I have been looking at Batam hotels over the last few years and if it didnt cross my mind wrong,Montigo Resort is the ONLY place where there will be a private pool inside my own room,hehehe...but how much is that gonna cost me? S$350 or more? And not to count in the distance of traveling from Harbour Bay to Nongsa...and my time cost? Hehehe...

Being fickle minded at times,i might not like a private pool in my own room in every single trip. Well,how many of us actually go to Batam to swim anyway...maybe once a very blue moon,hehehe...so there is a 2nd option, i can take a room with a shared pool (called Suite Villa)....


...at an about 10% 15% lesser,hehehe...there is actually another higher range one that has a bath tub tho and another range with lakeviews.


Hehehe....now what is left would be this place's location. Where exactly is this hotel resort then?


Its near to the Golden Prawn Sea food restaurant area and if you look at the map closer,it is not too far away from Nagoya area too. At least in distance wise,its still way shorter than going to Montigo Resort. Imagine the taxi fare for starter,hehehe....

Hmm...if i am going to stay there in my future Batam trips,there is one little question i would like to ask this Woda Villa & Spa management.

Can i start fishing in the lake outside the resort room i stayed in?


From what i read,this hotel resort isnt exactly popular right now, since they just started beginning of 2018,hehehe...


...below is a video taken (not by me) during the CNY period,i guess...hehehe...


Now that i have got SBS Resort Info here :
