After a very forgettable breakfast at Novotel Batam, we started our itinerary with our driver for the day pick us up to bring us to our new hotel for the next 2 nights, BCC. We wanted to try various hotels in Batam to have a different experience and also review the various establishments to help our readers make a informed choice in choosing their stay when visiting Batam
The BCC Hotel is one of the most highly rated hotels in Hotel Booking websites and in my opinion the best 4 star hotel in Nagoya area in Batam. Everything that a traveler requires is within reach in minutes. BCS Mall is a short 2 minutes walk away where there is plenty of restaurants, a supermarket and lots of shopping options. An outdoor food court is just beside the BCS mall for travelers interested to sample the local cuisine. All in all making The BCC hotel an ideal location for rest and relaxation.
For Christmas long weekend in 2015, Missus and I decided to embark on a trip to Batam. Batam is located just 40min ferry ride away from Singapore and is a great place to relax and unwind from the hectic Singapore life. It is a great option for tourist to experience a different rustic landscape and is also widely known to be great for their inexpensive golf courses.
Red crab Restaurant is a seafood place that serves delicious and restaurant style Chinese cuisine. The food and ingredients used is of good quality and is comparable to famous restaurants like Jumbo in Singapore. Price wise, it is affordable and cost about 1/3 what one may pay in Singapore.
Novotel Batam is designated as a 4 star hotel located just minutes away from Habour bay ferry terminal in Batam. The hotel is located opposite the Pacific Palace hotel which is a hotel shaped like a cruise ship.
