If that is "quite accommodating" for you, I wonder what a bad attitude might mean for you...
I would stay well away from that girl...

Maybe you can show me the ropes next time if you don't mind. This is just my second visit to this island. My first was 9 years ago at Turi Beach Resort with my wife. Actually, I didn't ask for the bj. First time calling FL here, so not sure really what to expect. Anyway, I got my one shot off. After 1 whole day of meeting, I badly needed it. I had a reasonably good time with her , and that'll do for me.

No ropes to show indeed.
Just a different opinion of what is "accommodating", maybe.

In my opinion, Sport Massage is the best legit massage place in Batam. They have 6 outlets but the one closest to your hotel is about a 10min walk from your hotel. It is located opposite Harmoni Hotel, most taxi drivers will know the place.

2 hours of traditional massage will set you back by 250k rupiah.

i r'ber u say u been 2 bintan last year, u also use their free shuttle service 2? No tell me u go join the spartan race ah.

Free things like that is only good if it doesn't affect my freedom of travel. Anything that cause me inconvenience,even given to me free also wont be much of a use,hehehe...

Yes,Bintan resort do provide free transportation and some discounted downtown transportation. Spartan race? I have my very own "Spartan race" in my own room when in Batam,hehehe...no need to join those in Bintan.

Those who join the Spartan race isn't for the actual race itself but more of the Spirit of the Spartans...what then is the spirit of Spartan? Which I think its the essence of it all.

Standing from your position, I would enquire with the Resort 1st tho (and decide from there), and try to take their provided free transport over to where you can board a ferry to Batam. From thereon,you can make your other plans. An estimated total 'adjusted time' needed to for you to reach Batam Nagoya area may cost about 3 hours or so (if you aren't bringing along a taxi from Tanjong Pinang,hehehe...). So its best to leave in the morning so you get more time to "play" in Batam,hehehe...

1. You will generally get a better rate in Batam. Which hotel are u staying? It's difficult to point you towards the moneychangers with the best rates if it's your first time there.

2. Which ferry terminal are u talking about? There are six ferry terminals in Batam

Delta & Octopuss changes their pricing close to half a dozen times over the last 3 ovr years UPWARDLY until many wiser bros who knws market rate choose not to patronize there anymore. Their range for a regular session package shld cost at least a minimum 500k rp to 600k rp & comes with a free hj with no auto-roaming recently. Auto-roaming & strip is negotiated for another extra price.

Hope that's enough to give u a rough guide on their pricing.
