Due to time constrain after the city tour, can you give me advise as which will be a better booking joint to visit first.

I notice you posted a map with 7 booking joints but we may not have the time to go thru all the joint. Timing is not in our favour.

Thx n rdgs
What did the tour package covers? As in i wish to look at the tour group's itinerary so as to know where you will be going to,so that i can put you to the nearest booking joint. (i dont "recommend" people to place/s anymore)

Example : If you are touring around Nagoya area, Utama Hotel is where you should at least pay a visit since most booking joints are around that area (simply locate Utama hotel and walk ONE round,hehehe..). If you are in Batam Center area,then no booking joint there but Venus spa is a pretty fair choice. And if you are around BCS area (which they also call Penuin area), New Spa at Batam City Hotel is quite a fair choice too. If you are around Harbour Bay, go Octopuss Spa inside Pacific Palace Hotel then.

Usually if you take a tour package,you are more likely to be travelling via Batam Center Ferry terminal. But you will likely be brought over to Nagoya area. Locate Utama Hotel Batam, afterwhich walk one round with what you read from here :

No one would miss most booking joints in that area.

I would still ask most of my friends (who are new) to stay around Formosa tho,with almost everything all under one roof. In the event when all else fail, there's still King Massage which has a last order at midnight Batam time (close at 1am,Batam time) to help you with one shot (hehehe...), and/or Alishan KTV more for the midnight ghost,hehehe...oh,i miss the part that you mention you are heading to booking joint AFTER the city tour? Do note that you would be quite late by then.

Note that if you are new to batam and plan to get girls from wechat. Do be extra careful and not to call the girls directly to your room 1st (in case she's a ladyboy or not the right girl you chose,which usually is the case). Be careful of your personal belongings and valuables when you decide "she's the one" and you want her your room.

If you cant speak Indo Bahasa, google translate can be a good choice. Most hotels in Batam would have free wifi.

Enjoy!

* do note that whatever i am saying above is base on a "time constraint" ground and that you are planning to cheong after 5pm batam time.
