Dream on, hehehe... there is no lack of "lesser intelligent" beings on the internet (in those trip-advisers etc). Which is why you would probably see long queues during weekends and why malls like BCS, Nagoya Hill,Mega Mall and Grand Batam sells most of their things more expensively compare to other part of Batam's mall.
Not a very big difference in pricing tho but if one buys a lot, it could add up to quite a substantial amount.

Honestly, the most senior bros or the most experienced Batam tourist, i believe also will have bad experience too. Just that that kind of bad experience wont happen as frequently. One of the biggest one is being overly confident...hehehe...often happens when bad luck comes to play.
I make mistake, but i learn from it. I met issues, i look for solution/s. Good and bad experience often goes hand in hand. Just like it would not be easy for me to believe when someone wrote an FR that is all good and no bad,hehehe...and vice versa when the experience is bad and no good.

I dont see why not? Maybe you are not used to it. Whenever there is a peak season, i take business class, costing S$12 extra. But let it be known, original price of Horizon Ferry ticket is S$48 and i have been paying S$48 over the 1st 4 to 5 years out of my nearly 6 odd years traveling to Batam. I am used to that kind of S$48 pricing.
Today i pay between S$28 (or S$31) to S$15 for 2 way Batam trip, the money i saved, i use it to pay for Business class (in the past was extra S$6 online, today is S$12). I get to cut the queue,hehehe...
I avoided queue/crowd too,hehehe...i rarely goes to places like Nagoya Hill Mall, BCS...and i am planning to cut back on Grand Batam soon. Remember i ask this before, if i am a terrorist, where in Batam will i attack 1st? Hehehe...not forgetting the time/date of attack to get the best effect from a terrorist's perspective? Hence most of my friends rarely see me in those busy ferry ports, malls, attractions, MPs, Spa or overnight booking joints etc.
Hmm...come to think of it, perhaps i should visit Utama area in my later trips to keep myself more updated. Hehehe...i havent been there for a while, even tho i keep asking people to go there.
Just quoting my previous post below as a reminder :

Area A :
1. MM

3. Bunga
4. JV Happy 8
5. Hawaii
6. Sri Kandy
7. (there's one more that took Indah 2's place,wonder if its still around)
Area B :
1. Gold Bird (aka Hai Lai)
2. Orchid
3. Blue Moon/Moonlight
4. Memory
5. Links
6. Sekar (aka ex New Berry)
7. (there should be one more in that area,but my memory...not working well recently,hehehe..)
Both Area A and Area B has comparable amount of Massage shops. Area A however has a bit more "dirty massage shops" than Area B tho,hehehe....but i like Area B Massage shops better than Area A.

Most people would probably visit Area A to book an overnight girl. Because Area A has the most booking joints as well as they are more consolidated to each other. What if i add in Dynasty99 in Area B next month?
Area A has a Sri Kandy, but i am sure very few people knows there is also there is another Sri Kandy in Area B,hehehe...others were looking at Massage Parlor and KTV that disguise as booking joint. What i am looking is, Hair Salons.
I also dont really visit "dirty" MPs anymore (or very rarely),hehehe...i go for those "clean" ones instead.
When i read back my summaries, i realize i am slowly changing my direction in Batam. I went in search for what suits me most.

I suddenly remembered there was a fellow bro who shared a link from polisi tidur with a list of MPs/SPAs but due to breaching of the SBF rules, it got removed. I happen to have that list with me,
hence i shall re-post it here again w/o the address link so as not to conflict with forum's interest, with additional information of my own (and "my collections",hehehe...).
- Delta Spa
- Octopuss Spa
- New spa
- A3 Massage
- Lavender Massage
- Venus Spa & Health Club
- Sakura Massage & Spa Batam
- Nagoya SPA & Massage
- Fame Spa & Lounge
- PP Tropical Asia
- Majesty Massage and Spa
- Triniti Spa
Since Fame,Venus,New Spa, Octopuss and Delta also talk before,hence i shant comment more,hehehe...

A3, Lavender and PP Tropical Asia were all in Utama area (walk Utama Hotel one round, like i always said it). So its not really hard to locate them as they were in the book of dirty massage category. To me, a dirty MP is like, you walk in, pay entrance for an hour massage and almost surely will have massage and will be asked the GQ aka Golden Question. Clear cut and easy.
Now i am left with
Sakura, Nagoya Spa, Majesty and Triniti Spa to talk about,hehehe...
Sakura : Its opposite the back door entrance of Nagoya Hill Mall and also a 2 star hotel. Technically a clean place but well, if you have a hotel that has in house massage service and the girls can be called to your room, whether a customer could get something is entirely up to himself. I got it from this place once becos my friend was staying in the hotel (called Sakura Hotel). But do note that their package can be quite expensive and one taking up the package was not guaranteed "special".
Side note : There is also another Sakura at the Utama area. Yes, they definitely have special service there. I am curious if the author of that site got mix up between the 2?
Nagoya Spa : Hehehe...this shop is so near Formosa, dont need to think also know i have tried this place before. Even bring friends and relatives looking/not-looking for special there too. This place, like Sakura is technically "clean" too. My parents can proof it,hehehe...so in order to get something "special", one will have to "signal" or shows signs you want something. This place is a bit more expensive than Sakura, so tread carefully.
I have been to this place more than thrice,hehehe...and if i didnt remember wrong, i recommended this place to bro Blackpage and other bros in this forum before too.
Majesty : I didnt try before but according to friends who visit the place. This place is mainly for families or couple. My friend says he went alone on a weekday and was quoted HJ at 600k rupiah. Due to the stats of the massage girl (in 30s of age) that massage him, he didnt take it up. He didnt bargain tho. According to him hearing from the therapist, not all girl there do "special" there and they arent allowed to.
Triniti Spa : This one is at Trinity Hotel. I have not been there before as its too far out of the way, at least 15 to 20 mins walk from Nagoya Hill Mall if one hasnt been there before. None of my friends tried it. But i hear from bro Newyorker (a regular old timer in this thread and often visit Batam) this place should have had some special service. I shant comment much on this place until one day i find time to test it out.
(note : Trinity is also at Area B)
*my taxi driver ever brought me there 3 odd years ago (twice), but it was closed down. I think it must have reopened but under a different management recently.
This is also a hotel with in-house massage, hence i am expecting there will be some sort of special service if the massage girls can be called in to room.
Side note : Do note that when it comes to clean massage/spa places, do not expect GQ aka Golden Question from the massage girls. And if i am the one popping the GQ, i would be expected to be paying a higher price. Thereafter, how low the pricing can be bargained depends solely to respective bro's bargaining skill/s.
Ok, so much for my part of sharing.
