Since i am mostly staying around Nagoya area,hence my sharing would mostly be around that area,hehehe...and i just notice this rather expensive Beverly Hotel recently, located somewhere between the Elisabeth hospital and Nagoya Mansion.
Location wise not so fantastic and their basic 19 square meter room cost around S$58.
...and the bigger room at 30 square meter cost about S$67.
Dont know why the hotel's asking price is so high. Maybe becos they have a bath tub in their 30 square meter room?
Or perhaps because they have a swimming pool? Hehehe...
For myself, i think there are better hotels than this one with the similar price in Batam,hehehe...
I think maybe they are new...hehehe...and no, i wont be staying there anytime soon even tho its near Nagoya area.

Below has nothing to do with the above Beverly hotel above.
Hmm...recently seems to have quite a lot of people renting out their apartments and/or villa type house out like a hotel room. There's one near Batam Center area that catches my attention tho.
(the back of villa)

It came with 3 bed rooms and only cost around S$114.00,hehehe...not bad for a short stay with a handful of friends.
(the front of villa)

I am guess their selling point for this villa hotel is more onto "back to nature".
There is a rowing boat...hehehe...
A balcony to see sunset and sunrise.
I notice some fishing rod near the bbq it area too.
...and one of how the other room looks like on the 2nd floor.
Now, for S$114.00, its a good deal...hehehe...i factor in all the transport travelling cost and the expense to buy groceries from convenient into the villa. I never consider swimming in the pond tho.
Lots of greenery in this place and i am also expecting mosquitoes too. Nonetheless, its a good place with a good price for most city dwellers to hit back to nature for some peaceful serenity with friends and family members. I may try out this place tho, if time allows.
Enjoy Batam, enjoying life...
