Like i said if u are looking for a hideaway resort, this is the place. It took us 1 hour of travelling time from Nagoya City to here. And the cab cost us a whooping S$15. So it's really quite faraway, and according to the tour guide, ever since the PM of Indonesia took the casinos away from Batam, the employment rate went down; lesser 'tourists' and hence lesser cabs as well. Most locals around here went to other parts to make a living when the economy was down.
Verdict on the resort:The foundation of the resort is built on a steep plateau. So rightfully speaking, all the chalets are tiered on top each other like a wedding cake. The lobby area is on the 3rd floor, swimming pool + dining area on the ground floor. The rest of the chalets are distributed along the 5 floors. The ones that needn't any climbing are the executive suites. Ours was just the normal suite and we got the 4th level. hoo hoo....4 flights of steep steps to climb everytime we went to the poolside, went back for a change, went down to book their signature Urut massage (which i fell asleep but it's really good! so good that i fell asleep after they did my back), climbed down once more for dinner, went back to rest, went down again for the island bar. Went back up again to sleep. it's a wonder whether did we went there for a relax vacation or for some steep exercise!
