Just passing by. KPO abit. Why u need a full day driver when u already want to nua in hotel?

Isnt taking taxi or the motorcycle a cheaper option?

Sorry, me just wondering.

No offence i hope. Have fun.

Nope,breakfast for all kind of rooms were on the 11th floor. And it was raining (drizzling),so most of us had our breakfast mixed with a bit of rain water that 1st morning. Not a good sign,hehehe...becos tables and chairs were wet. But there are sofa seats,hehehe...

In my last trip,when i ask the maintenance guy to come to my room to fix the cockroach issue in my junior suite,he told me the ground floor restaurant was having some Pest maintenance or something,hence the insects starts moving its way upward. Well,junior suite was on the 9th floor,hehehe...these insects really move fast huh?

You should have,bro.Its enough of a good reason to stay in high floored hotel. I visited all floors that has activities,example the massage floor,the 10th floor and the 11th...just to see what they have. Same for Da Vienna Hotel,Gideon and Formosa too (i missed out on Zest,Goodway,M1 and Nagoya Hill Hotel tho).

I love to dwell in to know more of Batam places and i think i should do more of such this 2016... (my upcoming summary damn super lengthy this time,hehehe..there's so much i wish to note down)

Yesterday, went to recce Tiban Centre with my unreliable driver and along the way also checked out Taman Kota Mas/Baloi. No massage shop in these area. Next trip may want to explore Greenland, Panbil Mall area and Jl Ahmad Dahlan near to Mustafa Plaza. According to my unreliable driver, he said there are "toko pijat" with "pijat plus" in Panbil area and somewhere further up Panbil has a good seafood restaurant. Well...let's see (yet to discover)....

No worries , it's just me feeling nervous going on solo trip hence I got a full day driver incase shit happens I can still get help from him at anytime. He's not just a driver for me , he's also my translator/tour guide and a great friend so I feel like supporting him a little in his part time business.

Getting around by taxi is definitely a lot cheaper , that's why I jio to carpool if anyone is interested to reduce the damage and also not waste the empty seats LOL , also he can bring bros to jalan jalan while I nua in the hotel.

I will go by taxis on future subsequent trips after I get more familiarized with Batam and also their language.

Walking to Atalanta Spa from ferry terminal ... I can see Novotel & pacific on RHS ... Do I continue walk in that direction or do I go up north at T junction here ... Can't see Atalanta either way from here ...

Turn right and walk pass Pacific Hotel... U will soon see a big signboard that says Atalanta Spa... Turn right into one of the small lanes and walk to the end... You would have reached your destination..
