Walking out of Gideon Hotel...go straight forward until you see a main road and crossing the road brings you to A2 Food Court and you will also be very nearby to BCS Mall by then.

To go to Batam City Hotel,walk out of Gideon Hotel and turn right instead,where by you will see this below...

You should notice an Altar (shown on above 2 pics),and behind the Altar there's a coffee shop...

Turn right and at the cross road after you reach the end of the coffee shop (from the photo above)...Batam City Hotel should be visible to you as like below....

Batam City Hotel has 2 parts divided into 2 buildings,which is side by side across a small road,so if you cant find New Spa,talk to any Batam City Hotel staffs.

Enjoy dwelling...hehehe...

Tried the massage at Gideon. 170k because it's done in hotel room. Quoted 300k for small head massage. Rejected her.

As for New Spa, what's the pricing like? And can I bring the girl back for sex?

That's what people here calls "chop carrot"
By the way, did you take a taxi to move WITHIN the ferry terminal??
Unless you had very heavy luggage or a very obese lady with you*, I don't see the reason.
* This would maybe explain why you were charged so much

Oh YES. That's where I always take the taxi on my arrival to go to Formosa!
Highly recommended, as the line of taxis waiting at the arrival gate are hungry of tourists and will try to get more.
I pay 50k without bargaining: I just give him that right amount, which includes some tip. (I only say "lima puluh ok", just to be sure, while he's putting my luggage into the car)

Hi Bro,

Do we need to fill in the white card? If yes, where to get it? I got my boarding pass online.

What time do we need to reach the batam harbour bay ferry departure on 1415hrs Saturday?

Thanks!

No white card needed for Indonesia.

If you have collected your boarding pass for your return trip, arriving 30mins prior to departure is ample time.

If you want a metered taxi, you can call Silvercab (‭+62 778 461000‬). Otherwise, you can get a taxi from the taxi counter but they will quote you 60-70k for a ride to Gideon Hotel.

On the way to batam center this noon
Saw lot of taxi blocking a busy junction.
Maybe There was a taxi strike?

Hehehe...what you just shared makes me feel so out-dated,hehehe... The prices has gone up so high for their in-room massage...*sob*

Actually if the 1st quote is 300k,can still bargain down to about 150k to 200k rupiah...depending on your skill. But if one just wish to have a relaxing massage,then i think MILF's massage skill shouldnt be too bad.

Feel free to go down for in-house massage tho,there are safe box inside their massage room. Free sauna and steam room usage. What i like about it is,nobody goes there in the morning...hehehe...meaning i can play King there, plus i bring my booking girls along...so...well...i dont want to elaborate further,it will be up to your imagination,hehehe... (thats why i like unisex clean spa,hehehe...)

The last time i was there was about a year ago,cost around 250k rupiah during happy hour after their 40% discount,but i heard recently the price goes back up the normal,meaning it can cost 250k rupiah + additional 40%. My friends tells me they sell their "stupid "1 month membership costing 100k rupiah,which is going to give their customer 40% off or something during happy hours which ends at 3pm,or was it 4pm? But on the safe side better reach before 3pm.

Worse case scenario is around 450k rupiah (1.5 hour massage + HJ). Thats for non-happy-hour.

So thats roughly around their price,since i havent been there for a while. Keep in mind,i havent been there for about a year.

As for if you could bring girl into hotel room, the last i heard (from their girls),they do provide out call massage to other hotels. But i think it may cost quite a bomb just for the massage alone. So my advise is to privately discuss with the massage girl (if you think they are good) who massage you then...but private negotiation may have to wait until the girl/s finishes work,then go your hotel room.

For overnight,choices are limited in your area of hotel stay unless luck favors you or you spend like in Sillypore.

From 1st Nov, online taxi (gojek apps) officially registered.
Normal taxi on demo against it, appeal to Wali Kota.

@NoNo

New Spa girls only get charged 100k (6 months ago rate) for missing. This is from my conversation with Mega. So, not necessarily have to wait for them to finish work for private arrangement.

I now go Venus Spa. Just uncovered another gem there last weekend.

Former Food Colony at Nagoya Citywalk is re-open as Econ Vegetarian Food Court and SeaMen's Club (Thai Food? updated not opened yet)

[coconut2]

Have not been to batam for few years. I wonder whether any of you take the ferry on Fridays (nights... I still work ley).
Wonder too whether my friend (who also missing in action for few years) and I can tag alone with some kakis leaving Friday nights.
Please don't flame me for asking... just trying to get back into circulation in the batam circuit.
