My Christmas getaway???  Nah.. nothing too grand.. Just a “down to earth” getaway w my girlfriend and plainly all about food and shopping in Indonesia, Batam!

We stayed at The BCC Hotel (Deluxe Room) and it was about SGD69 per person (two of us went so it was approximately SGD138 for two) through Qoo10 deal. The BCC is quite new so for the price we paid for i think it’s pretty worth it!

The deal includes:

• Return Ferry Ticket (By Pacific Ferry)
• 2-way Land Transfer (By Batam Fast)
• 1 Day City Tour (By Batam Fast)
• 1 Hr Massage (By First Choice)
• 1 Deluxe Room at The BCC, breakfast and wifi inclusive!

Hotel location is quite convenient. Just exactly next to it, there’s a Food Center. Next to FC, there is a Shopping Mall (Batam City Square Mall) and there are shop houses opposite the mall selling food too. Best part, Factory Outlet is just withing walking distance from the hotel!

Service wise, i think they are pretty professional too. We did not have much issue communicating with them and they always put on a smile. The communication problem only comes when we’re buying food from A2 Food Center. (Hahaha!) Because some of the hawkers are non-chinese and i have to flash my notes for them to take the right amount of $$ that i shoud pay for my food !

i would rate this hotel 4 out of 5 stars and will definitely come back again when i have plans to go Batam again!

I will add more photos here again when i have the time! 😀 See youuuu!
