But on the other hand, what Marriot offers me, Formosa (and many other hotels in Batam too) might probably do better,if not more.
Hmm...comes to think of it,Woda Resort has a package that cost S$188, previously posted by me. I called on them during my last trip that S$188 is actually having that package but with a room w/o the in-room pool. The package with an in-room pool would cost S$218 nett.

Just for referencing.

Was hotel-hopping in my last trip and likely to continue to do that in my next couple of Batam trips.

Made a small mistake that nearly spoil my trip tho. I swooped my new indo test sim card in one of my dual-sim mobile phone and try to book hotel for my 3rd night onward but there was no OTP code send to my phone,hence transaction couldnt go thru.


Only on the day when i was about to head back to Singapore,then i realized that the guy who set up my sim on my phone actually had my Singapore sim card locked up to avoid unnecessary/accidental usage. Not his fault tho,as he did inform me that my Singapore sim was lock away, just that i completely forgot about it,hehehe....

i am quite surprise that this incident didnt affect my mood. I might think (or plan) too much before the trip,but not during the trip,hehehe...

Just sharing an incident.
