Hmm...i dont know if others could understand what you just said even tho you put yourself quite clearly that you are heading to Bintan Resorts,hehehe...NOT Tanjung Pinang area. From the resort area,its gonna be a long way down to Tanjung Pinang (45mins to an hour drive depending on traffic).
I guess you might be in a similar situation as what i had last year. Had to make a "no-choice" trip to Bintan Resort,but my heart wish to make my way to Batam thereafter,hehehe...turn out,i choose to head back to Singapore Harbour Front 1st (from Bintan resort area and not Tanjung pinang area) before taking another ferry from Singapore to Batam.
Overall cost and time use is not far and i feel safer too.
About an hour to Tanjung Pinang area of Harbour,and then to a Batam's harbour mentioned in earlier post by bro BFOMF5,and later take an about 45mins to an hour taxi to Nagoya area. Versus taking about an hour to Singapore and then use another about an hour to come back to Batam,hehehe...i feel more confident heading back to Singapore and then to Batam again.
Somewhere about 4 over years ago,i remember a bro mention about taking a speed boat from batam to Tanjung pinang for a night stay in a resort (with an in-room swimming pool) closer to Tanjung Pinang area (NOT Bintan resort area) and then back to Batam the next day, before taking a ferry back to Singapore.
Here's a map for your reference :
And by the way,massage at Bintan Resort can be as expensive as in Singapore.
*note that you still have a choice heading to a resort nearer to Tanjung Pinang area tho (instead of those in northern Pulau Bintan),which might shorten your trip back to Batam if you making the other choice.

Thats going to be very very expensive. The price quoted to me by Canopi resort at Bintan for the speed boat rental is S$120 2-way round trip before bargaining (i think it will be more than S$60 for one way and they quoted in Sin dollar,hehehe...), the resort i stayed in doesnt have a speed boat service to Batam,so i think they out-source the deal,so boat commission is overlapped,hence the higher price,hehehe...but quite surprisingly,pick up using motor boat from Batam to Tanjung Pinang is free from some resort in those area (guess its due to trying to entice people to go there,other way round may cost more).
