Re: Batam Info Thread

Yup, vouchers from deal.com.sg or Groupon are normally for 2 paxes minimum. Furthermore, there are taxes that you need to pay as well.

For example, this deal currently on deal.com.sg, $59.90 for 1 night stay at Harris Hotel with return ferry, it is not inclusive of $20 + $7 ferry taxes at Habourfront and Batam Centre. So, it's at $87 per person and minimum for 2 persons SHARING 1 room. So, you're looking at $174 minimum and you don't get a room to yourself. This deal is good if you're going with your partner for a short getaway as it include a 1 hour massage as well.

But, if you're looking to go for cheong purposes, then it's not so convenient since you will need a room to yourself.

A reasonable budget can be booked at about $30 +/-. Of course, you can't compare it to Harris as Harris is a 4 star hotel after all. Ferry cost $45 - $48. So for about $80, you're in Batam and have a room to yourself to have all the fun you want.
