Tayspiderx 3rd Gear March 22, 2011 Share March 22, 2011 Ok lar still got water sports like wake boarding, para sailing and jet ski. Though not highly recommended as the water not clean and they charge x SGD. Go kart ok, they charge SGD15 for 10min, may consider to go in the morning or evening as the tarmac will burn u in the noon. Personally I wun go for an of the above. Just take their full day spa (ard $30 for 2 hours @ isabella), golf and do bit of shopping therapy is the way. Makan wise, I been to Golden prawn, their seafood not very cheap some more the size of the prawn on offer is like hay bi. Would recommend Nagoya Hill's Solaria for budget indo cuisine.

Byond 1st Gear March 22, 2011 Share March 22, 2011 u can go sports massage in front of harmoni hotel... good massage if u got hairy legs, dont go for body scrub.... very painful experience.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cwong2910 2nd Gear March 22, 2011 Share March 22, 2011 taxi from harbourbay to nagoya about 40K IDR with some negotiating. Batam is a damn boring place so probably u will just shop and eat there. The place to pick up your return ferry ticket is at HarbourBay Mall. There is Breadtalk and JCO donut there if u fancy them. The Carrefour there is nowhere near Singapore Carrefour standards. Sports Massage is not too bad. U can also goto Batam City Square (BCS) mall or Mega Mall Shopping Center at Batam Center (~20min to 30min ride) if u r interested in visiting some other malls beside Nagoya. The temples, and all the crap recommended on the internet, u can just give it a miss...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byond 1st Gear March 22, 2011 Share March 22, 2011 if u want convenience, stay at pacific hotel (or ship hotel), just beside the harbour bay ferry terminal... i went there on sat morning, Eat korean food prepared by real koreans living in indonesia...sorry, i cannot rem the place as my fren brought me there very nice food, cost less than 30$ for 3 pax... then followed by little shopping at this nagoya shopping centre my gf bought alot of body scrub at their supermarket very very cheap one bottle, cost approx $1.00 ...buy smaller bottles, its even cheaper than one big bottle.... these are the scrubs used in body massage lol then went for sports massage 2.5 hours session.... costs approx 500,000 IDR... approx 72$ for two pax... very relaxing and clean type of massage after which, went back hotel, rest a while, then was brought to eat their local chi char....among some residential houses... very nice and good food...
