We recently stayed in BCC Hotel Batam and the rooms were very very spacious and we were wow by it. Their breakfast is so so. But BCS mall is right beside the hotel, there is also a food court behind the hotel. We only stayed for a night but we all felt that 2 would be just nice.


It’s been 12 years since we last visited Batam and the feeling is totally different. They also have those "premium" cafe which has the super comfy sofas. We had lunch at one of those cafe at the megamall while waiting for our ferry home. Price was very reasonable. Eg. S$9 per person include set lunch and drinks.

The kids want to visit Batam again. The go-kart, paintball enticed them. Similar with the kueh lapis, crackers, outlet shopping and cheap food. Overall a good experience.

The next time we visit, I would choose a private tour so that we get to pick where we like to go.
