it was a short 2D/1N weekend getaway at Batam Harris Resort with Gabby on Sat. ferry timing initially was at 920am, but it was changed to 1010am after we went to collect our ferry tix. went to had our quick mac breakfast before checking in.

reached Batam in around 1 hr time (singapore time at 1110am, batam time at 1010am). immediate transfer to Harris without any delay at all. i realised the whole trip was VERY on time. their shuttle bus are all on time can!

reached!
well, the negative thing about the whole trip is the initial check-in part. as we arrived very early, their rooms weren't ready. i was told to check back in 1 hr time but after 1 hr, we were told that check-in is only at 2pm (batam time)! time check at that time was only 12pm (batam time). imagine our horror! but i know we can't blame them as their check out time was 12pm. but the counter staffs aren't making it nice for us. getting fed up of waiting & waiting, we decided to explore the area and luckily we found the bowling alley which helped to kill time for us.




beautiful pool


lobby area


sorching & sunny till we can hardly open our eyes

finally managed to check in before 2pm (batam time) as they gave us another ready room instead of the initial room they gave us. had a quick wash up then went out for their shuttle bus to Nagoya town at 2pm.

basically, it's the first time we don't know where we should spend our money on as there's nothing much there. we didn't want to bring back the rupiah thus we tried to spend everything we had.

chiong to A&W when we reached the mall. sadly, they do not have coney dog! and their root beer float & curly fries weren't nice! disappointed can!


on the way to nagoya


nagoya town mall


why can't they bring it back to SG?


settled for the 2 pcs chicken, but it's kinda pathetic right


not nice! KL's A&W is much nicer!
walked around then finally bought myself 2 lingerie. hurhur... then after that, we managed to spend all the rupiah by buying gel (gabby's), drinks, acne mask, etc.... well, the beer were damn cheap! around SGD1.30 per can! imagine that!! i guess if the rest came with us, they'll empty the shelves. hehe!! take away pizza then it's back to the resort.


waiting for our pizza
washed up and headed for our main motive of the trip, SPA! the package consists of a 3 hrs spa treatment. body scub, massage & healing bath. the environment was really nice... it's an open concept spa. the spa was at level 3 and as our spa timing was at 6.30pm, the pool side were getting ready for live band & dinner for guests. so instead of the tranquil music, we listened to the band's music which Gab mentioned that it spoilt the whole treament. but for me, i still managed to relax & fell asleep. hurhur.... they even had fireworks! nice!!


the poolside dinner


the spa "room"



back to the room after the spa for our late dinner, the cold pizza. but, the pizza was still nice!! it isn't oily can... and it's tuna melt! does singapore have tuna melt pizza? usually i only go for hawaiian pizza, but they didn't have it. well, it's delicious! played a game to digest before bathing then it's finally bedtime! was freaking tired as i slept at around 2am and had to wake up at 6.20am....


tuna melt pizza


local beer... not to my liking


cute harris slippers
slept all the way till before check out since we didn't have much to do. checked out at 12pm then went for our lunch. as our ferry timing was at 4.30pm (batam time), we still had plenty of time to kill. so it was to the bowling alley again then to their D'Bar for a drink and for the aircon while we wait for the 4pm shuttle to waterfront city.


view outside the room


meat lover's pizza


mine's


gabby's


the huts on level 3 is the spa area






can u spot the pins which dropped onto the bowling lane? funny can!!


going back....
finally..... back to singapore at 6.30pm (singapore time)! dinner at vivo then it's home sweet home. overall this trip was enjoyable. staff there were really friendly! i love the spa!!
