I did an impromptu video call with one of the so called independent FL, the person who picked up didn’t look anywhere near to the picture she sent. So a hard pass for me. But if you want their contacts, drop me a PM and I'll share what I can.

That aside, I highly recommend TanTan. Which was also recommended by one of the brothers here. Not so much of FLs but filled with Indonesian ladies who's willing to go out on a date with you. But since it's about socialising, it requires a lot of work on your end. I will share my experience shortly. With that being said, I survived staying 2 nights at “that” hotel that boss nono said has a history and I survived Batam!

So would I recommend staying at Harbour Bay Amir Hotel? I’m honestly 50-50 on this. The aircon was still hopeless, the room was not cool enough. Had complains about that from the masseuse and even the girl I brought back. Carpet was filled with burnt marks. But other than that, if you just need a place to sleep and bring girl or girls to, then its good enough as it comes with a King sized bed. But wait for boss nono to update what the history is behind the hotel before you decide.

Now, it's time to continue on from my previous FR. I had a short nap after the last FR and then woke up at about 3:15AM (IDT) to freshen up as I was heading back to Bar Galérie to meet the girl that I had chatted up earlier. The pub closes at 4:00AM (IDT). After washing up, me and my friend made our way to the pub. They were closing up when we reached. The girls gave us a bottle of tiger each, which was on the house before we proceed to grab supper.

Went to a roadside stall that was like 10 minutes away. Haven’t got a clue what it’s called or its exact location but food wasn’t that bad, it was surprisingly good. Had Mee Bakso that cost Rp12,500 and a few drinks. Total cost for me and my girl was Rp65,500. We talked for a little bit to know each other better and then we went our separate ways. It was already 7:00AM (IDT), the girls were tired and they are working again that day and further, we weren't expecting anything to happen as me and my friend just wanted to build up on the “friendship”.

The next day adventure started at about 11:00AM (IDT). Upon reaching the hotel’s lobby, saw the “poster girl” for Aaram Spa and decided to book her for an 11:00PM (IDT) massage session. As the previous night, we did a Rp100,000 deposit and I took the Gentleman Deep Relaxing Massage yet again. I’ve also attached the price brochure of the in-house spa for the hotel for all the brothers reference.

It was a bad decision but will get back to that. So we headed out proper after making our bookings. Had breakfast at a nearby restaurant called Sederhana. It was Padang cuisine. Absolutely love that place. A bit pricey as compared to normal road side stalls but absolutely worth it. Meal for 2 cost Rp220,800. Went to BCS and Nagoya. All in all, spent about roughly Rp200,000 on taxis with tips for the 3 days, 2 nights whole trip. I don’t recommend taking Grab unless you’re at a secluded place and away from places with taxi operators.

At one point, I was checking my Google map to look for a particular shop and had refused service from the taxi operators. One of them actually followed us from a distant for quite a distance and accused us of wanting to take Grab. After a few tense minutes, we convinced him we weren’t booking Grab but instead was looking for a particular place to buy some stuff. Which of course ended up with him helping us find the place. Survived that particular ordeal.

Nothing much to report on. Walked around the booking places but not much ladies were available maybe seeing how it was already about roughly 5:30PM (IDT). Skipped the entire trying to find a lady for the night. Throughout the entire trip I was on TanTan. Chatted with a lot of Indonesian ladies. But somehow got close to this 19 year old GND type. So I had asked her if she wanted to meet up for a movie or something. Had to promise no hanky panky of course. She agreed after thinking for a while. So went to Blitz Theatre at Harbour Bay Mall. Mind you, this shopping centre is like a ghost town.

Watched Escape Room and ticket cost Rp75,000 for a really awesome couple seat. Movie was so-so but it was the only thing on at that time. Not able to provide a detailed review like boss nono. Of course during the movie, there was some hanky panky. Started out lightly. Held each other’s hand. Then moved on to touching her thigh. And the rest of the movie was spent on us making out. As the hotel was near, I had invited her over for a drink and to chat. She initially refused but eventually agreed when I said I needed to change and I will send her back in a taxi.

So went to the room and somehow when the door closes, the hanky panky started. Managed 1 shot and then sent her packing. Gave her Rp100,000 for the taxi ride back to her place and also promising her that I would continue to message her. Washed up, rest and then waited for my massage appointment. At about 11:05PM (IDT), there was a knocked at the door. True enough, the lady on the brochure came. Name’s Regina, 41 year old with 2 kids. Minus the fact that she told me her age, she looked nothing like a 40 year old does.

Massage was extremely well. Then she popped the golden question, what do I want to do next. As before, I said anything is good. Overnight works too. She quoted me SGD500. Not even Rp5,000,000 but straight away SGD500. Seeing how shocked I was, she then lowered to SGD200 which I politely rejected. Her reason is that she doesn’t do such a thing. After I rejected her, she asked if I wanted another HJ for Rp500,000. I again politely rejected her and sent her packing after paying the balance Rp200,000 inclusive of tips.

Time was already 12:30AM (IDT) when the massage ended. Me and my friend decided to go back to the pub to meet the girls. Got there, ordered two towers for Rp500,000. Played drinking games and a few rounds of pool while hanging out with the girls. Stayed until 4:00AM (IDT) and was presented with a bill of Rp400,000 after “friends” discount. This time round, the girl I’m with wanted to crash at my room as she was too dizzy to ride back and she wasn’t working on Sunday. Attached the drink promotion for easy reference.

So we somehow ended up at my room. Managed 1 shot that night and another shot in the morning before check out. Packed my bags with her in the room, acted like long lost lovers. Gave her Rp300,000 for breakfast and then she sent me to the ferry terminal. Ferry departing to TMFT was at 1:30PM (IDT). Kissed her goodbye and that was the last thing I did in Batam. Am still in contact with her and already planning for next trip. She is one of the girl in this picture.

Sorry that my FR this time is a bit long. Just trying to get everything down as this was the first trip where it was specifically with the intention of doing the “other stuff”. To the brothers who have upped me, thank you. Please send me a DM of your latest post and I will be more than glad to return the favour. Take my FR with a pinch of salt and hope it helps other brothers on their quest.

Hehehe...there is actually no history of the hotel to talk about (from my part), its just that most of the girls i have booked over the years said that the hotel is kind of haunted.

Some told me they saw a lady carry a baby walking in one of the floor's lobby or something like that,hehehe...follow by some sound or something. I mean since you already checked into the hotel that very day, i dont wish to spoil/affect your mood,hehehe...nonetheless, glad to see you have a fairly good time in Batam.

I was kind of surprise when the girls in the hotel didnt mention this to you tho,hehehe....thank you for sharing some good info.

Cheers!

Note : I am actually quoting your whole post but have most portion "hidden" to test the forum posting function. Just for knowledge purpose.

Yep,when i see i can still book rooms from Zest hotel,i know this year's CNY 2019,batam might not be crowded as last year and/or the years before.

Money changer can be a bit of an issue, hence i already change my IDR on Jan in Batam. The rate i got in Batam, 10400/SGD...i think it should be good enough.

Hope they already feel bored with Batam,hehehe...ever since the Singapore government allows those under work permit to travel oversea easily, they have been moving our neighboring countries a lot.

I have already beat these competitors since a year or 2 ago tho.

People keeps using the hotel to commit suicide (there was several news on it over the years).

Hotels may have close, the MP may not be,hehehe...

Every part of the world will have a high,mid and low range on most "merchandise". That includes 3rd world countries too.

Just that the Top price paid in Singapore for a prostitute,i may most likely get a super young model in Batam. And they were just about an hour travel away from Singapore,hehehe...thats just my personal point of view.

I usually tag the price of merchandise with the country's per person minimum income tho. Example, i put myself in the position (mindset) that i am earning around 350USD a month whenever i travel to Batam (hehehe...i often over spend tho). Likewise when i travel to China too.

My own view.

There isnt any story to talk about,hehehe...becos this year 2019...

Amir hotel is pretty rundown,tho they are still under the 3 star hotel category but according to some friends who stayed there before,the whole hotel's service level is pretty low (friends book room there,by the time reach there say full already,end up 2 of the 5 of them no hotel in that area to stay in). And the steep slope that leads to the hotel's main entrance can be a pain for many bros who wish to do some walking around (just imagine i wish to buy some mineral water, condom, cigarette etc,or grab a bite).

(photo below is just illustration,most time most parts of the hotel's lights are NOT so brightly lighted)

Since its located at the end corner of Harbour Bay,walking from Amir Hotel to Octopuss Spa is longer than walking from any other hotels in Harbour Bay (can be solve by taking Harbour Bay's 30k rupiah EZY taxi tho). Eating out of hotel may be an issue too (this problem can still solve by ordering Go-Food), as this hotel is quite a long walk from MOST eateries around Harbour Bay too. And the air-con issue faced by bro supreme_madness is not a one or 2 day/month problem already,its been around since ages ago (base on TripAdvisor and google reviews). The most complained issue would still be the general cleanliness of the hotel (and its room) tho,hehehe....

The only current key attraction of this hotel is the Indian culture spa (Aaram Spa) which was shared by bro supreme_madness on his FR. Tho,i notice the spa can be relatively expensive compared to other MPs,even to some of Batam Men's spa. And from my perspective, they do have another good thing, they have more smoking rooms than non-smoking rooms. Thats good news for smokers (like myself),hehehe...and service level of the staffs i heard has improved over the years tho but by how much. That,i do not know.

Bro supreme_madness's FR :

https://thesbf.shop/showthread.php?p=...9#post18299849

I guess thats some good reason/s why they have priced the hotel lower than most other 2 star hotel in the same area. So,its not really all bad afterall,right? I mean since all their rooms comes with a King size bed (like those in Formosa),hehehe...its a good bed that REALLY matters for majority cheongsters. On top of all that, breakfast is included,hehehe...

One more plus point of Amir is the higher floor sea view,and as it was being located in a lonely corner of Harbor Bay, there was no building blocking the sea view from the highest 2 floors hence a fairly good 180 degree sea view from the room window. During super ultra peak season when there is really no rooms available in Batam, this hotel can be one of the final back up plan for me tho,hehehe...

Hehehe...all in all, there is no such as a perfect hotel,hence i wouldnt say this Amir hotel is all good and no bad and vice versa. Wherever there's some "bad",there will definitely be some "good" and wherever there's some "good",surely there will be some "bad" too.

If i am to stay in this hotel one day, i am more likely to pick their executive room or junior suite room to stay in (costing around S$55 to S$60, with one room one hall format),hehehe...their standard room and superior King would cost around S$25 to S$30 tho,with tax inclusive (weekend might cost a bit more).

(executive room and junior suite is in one room ,one hall format)

Just sharing for the sake of sharing.

Actually, I suspected this was the issue! But so far thankfully, nothing happened. Plus the first lady who massaged me did requested that we didn’t turn off all the lights and had asked me to send her to the lift because it was “sunyi” which translates to quiet.

And boss nono wrote a better review about the hotel than me! Additional points to make about the hotel is that their KTV is permanently close. That and I would actually say that the staff service level is not too bad. Attentive and responsive but it being an old hotel, no matter what room you change is pretty much the same. Room service is 24/7, I ordered their cumi goreng for Rp60,000 if I’m not wrong, it was actually quite tasty.

Apart from that, yes, the hotel is a walking distance from a lot of thing. So if any brothers are planning to stay there, please get your supplies first before heading to check in. And let the water run for 2 minutes before using, all taps in the toilet. They even have a label to remind you to do it. So just do it. I brush my teeth with mineral water. And lastly, no safe box. Apart from that, boss nono is quite spot on.

Thanks all for reading my two FRs and also for upping me. I will return the favour as and when I can. If I forgot to, please do remind me. For brothers chionging at Batam, good luck and stay safe! Maybe one of the trips, we can chiong together! I’m planning end of February!

Supposedly, our level of education is not the same of girls who cannot find any better job than serving in booking joints (and I say this will all respect for girls, as we never know what life is keeping for us and what future will give us).
They may even tell me that the Moon does not exist, and I would not care at all.

We are in 2019, 50 years after men having landed on Moon, and you are still afraid of GHOSTS?
Be happy someone believes the place is haunted. Rooms will be cheaper!

Yes... Think positively that's a good point.
