3. Ferry Trip (return) ~ S$80 (Batam Fast)
4. PCR Test (Batam) for entry to SG ~ S$40 (heard from a sg tourist in batam from youtube)
----------------------------------------
Total Trip cost (with return) ~ S$250

4. Hotel ~ $50/night

Seems a basic 1 day trip (with return) already costs ~ S$300/night (Min.)

It's more worth it for longer stays. 5 days works out to be ~ S$100/night (Min.)

The cost excl. meals and other expenses.

Personally, I think going to Johor is more worth it for the moment.

Yes agree. For now I think it is more expensive and not worth the trouble to visit Batam. I rather visit Johor for the time being. If you really like Indonesian gals, you can still find some Indonesian massage parlour near to JB City Square, Sentosa, etc. But I am not sure whether the Indonesian ceweks have go back to JB. Will be going over to explore.

Life is short. Enjoy while you can.

Guys who r regular in Formosa, don't think it will be reopen, this new hotel open just behind Center Poin Mall. For those who r regular to that area, there r this row of small shops behind Center Poin Mall just at the side of the canal, the new Batam 1 Hotel is on top that row of shops. Sorry the 2 photo was taken at different time of the day. The photo show the name, and other photo show other end of the hotel at night.

Doesn't looks like decent hotel, better stay at Harmoni Suites which is also around that area.

Majority of the farms r close maybe due to the Puasa Month, but they don't seen to open in the late evening, and many KTV also closed down. Many stall in the shopping mall also closed down, and even Windsor Foodcourt also closed down, Utama 98 Foodcourt very low head count of customers, only Nagoya Foodcourt doing well.

Can anybody clarify,
if I am not wrong BIZ hotel( behind City Walk Mall ) is opposite of Nagoya Foodcourt and not A2 Foodcourt, A2 is in Penuin. A2 is opposite Lovina Inn Penuin.
