You mentioned the 2nd day u wanna roam about at BCS. I think you might wanna consider going Nagoya Hills Shopping Mall too, given the fact that u are staying near there too. If you gonna spend the whole day at BCS then u are gonna bored to death. hahahaha

Besides, some of you might even consider going for a massage or spa at Nagoya since it's near the hotel too. But 1 of you have to sacrifice to stay in hotel to look after the baby though, or bring the baby around to roam at Nagoya Hills (:

Cheers!

@Yihanz, thanks for the warning about the Hotel - Rezeki journey. seems like forever to reach. hahaha (:

looking into BCS and Nagoya Hills Shopping Mall now.. as per adviced..

but any idea, from Hotel - Nagoya, how far is it? can we walk? Transport is another issue. We will need a bus if we wanna stick as one. =/

I googled map BCC - Nagoya Hills Mall, by vehicle is 10mins, by walking is 30mins. hmm..

Yeah, it's more advisable to take a cab. 5-6minutes i guess.

Rezeki isnt forever to reach from Nagoya. if you are catering a bus, then u could use the time on board to take a rest. That is IF you are really keen to go there. Well if you were to skip Rezeki, then you could plan your next trip stay over at Nongsa, whereby batam view beach resort, montigo resorts and turi beach resorts are nearby Rezeki. (:

Last but not least, u can ask BCC if they provide transport services to Nagoya Hills for a free or for a small fee. If not, split into 3 taxis lo.

@Yihanz, err.. the cabbies there are nice people right? will they overcharge us? any experience? =P

as mentioned, catering a bus, i got a quote, its SGD250 for 2days. so.. =/

I am currently pending reply from BCC if they do take us from Ferry Terminal - Hotel, then to any other places.

And ya, last resort is to take cab and split.

For the catering for bus, you might want to wait for Chandrana or Richard's reply on their advises. I'm not so sure about the rates. but as i see, it's rather steep..

For the cabs, please try to get 1 at the shopping mall taxi stands or hotel lobbies. As only registered taxis can pickup passengers from taxi stands and lobbies, it's more safe then getting a non-registered ones off the road. Most shopping malls and hotel lobbies has a Taxi Chart on the pricing of where you wanna go.

@Yihanz, thanks so much! you've been a great help so far. noted on the cabs. thanks thanks!!

Will wait for Chandrana/Richard's reply about the bus rate.

For what it's worth, here's Rezeki's info:

Rezeki Seafood Restaurant

Telp : 0778-761180

Alamat : Batu Besar, Pantai RT 01/RW 02. Pulau Batam Indonesia.

Taken off their website http://rezekiseafood.com/hubungi-kami.html that Chandrana provided on a previous thread. Not sure how current it is though. You can try calling them if no one knows whether they open on New Year's Eve...

All the best for your trip!

yeah , as what Yihaz said , it is far .

still depending on the traffic condition . peak hours will take you 40-45 minutes , smooth traffic (normally midnight) will take you 30minutes less .

the foods provided in Sri Rezeki Seafood are very fresh and delicious , the reason why your uncle recommended you the place , but there is another place near your hotel where you can get seafood as fresh and good as Sri Rezeki , Wey Wey Seafood (located within Harbour Bay complex) . about 10 minutes trip from BCC Hotel .

a cab per trip to Rezeki will cost you Rp120.000 - Rp150.000 one cab , make a deal with the cab driver for Rp200.000 to wait for you and send you back .

i am not sure if they'll be open on CNY , i'm giving it a 50 50 chance , as both seafood restaurant are chinese owners and both are quite famous but then again i believe they might be open during CNY .

$250 for 2 days (12/24 seater bus) is actually overcharged but not by much , it must be CNY price they're charging .

you're best at renting two MPV cars (includes a driver as well) which would be about $60 cheaper .

Richard Thanks for your help man! haha... yeah it also occurs to me CNY period.. perhaps that's the reason of the steep pricing.
