Batam resorts

Pros: Awesome swimming pools.Friendly and very attentive staff. Nice quiet and relaxing holiday. We enjoyed the messages at the spa. Lovely view from our villa ,the pools and breakfast restaurant.

Cons: The resort is far from any town/city and you are mostly confined to the resort. The convenience store on the resort has very limited groceries and you are basically forced to have all meals at the restaurants on the resort.Food prices were reasonable but drinks were expensive-including non alcoholic ones. The soaker tub in the villa looked very inviting but there was not enough warm water for a bath. There were goats kept in a very small cage just infront of our villa, which first of all is very cruel and secondly didn't smell very good.

Pros: Very good amenities and clean environment. Staff were helpful and courteous. Nice views and peace which really helps get you in a relaxing mood.

Cons: The location of the resort is pretty far off from civilisation, which means you likely need to eat or purchase stuff within the resort. Prices are steep within the resort.

Pros: Maintain the hotel vicinity with grass pruning and also fogging.

Cons: Our allocated room door wasn't working and we have to wait for the engineering to fix it .water was not pleasant to use as it was milky Their phone line were cut off due to some problem so the point of contact is using what's app number provided by the hotel Lot of Mosquitoes even hotel.provided repellents ,my kids were bitten with bad red swollen spots Foods we ordered for room service was not up to expectation

Cons: We booked for the villa with beach side but the villa is facing spa building and not the beach. We want to use archery they said need to wait, after waiting for about 30 mins they said no personel available to handle the facility. Reception was not friendly, almost no smile from the staff

Pros: The staffs are awesome; they made an otherwise unpleasant stay enjoyable. Their friendliness and willingness to assist was really remarkable. Special mentions are Rivo at reception who has been really helpful in meeting out requests. We had BBQ in the villa, the server Rival and Chef Agusti were awesome too.

Cons: The villa is kind of rundown with cracked floors and dirty in many area; it just felt old. The phone lines were down for the entire stay so we had to rely on Whatapp messages with Reception staff to arrange for buggy. There was a Nintendo Wii unit at our villa but the controller was faulty and the games were really from another generation. The TV channels were fuzzy and the TV screen was really small for such a huge villa. The air-conditioning unit in the living room was not sufficient to cool the huge area. Overall, is a total letdown when it comes to the villa.

Pros: Nice sea view n great swimming pool. The bedsheet is clean.

Cons: During breakfast, i can see housefly flying all over the porridge ingredient.

Cons: I stayed at montigo in Batam for 2 nights to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday. The staff at the resort are generally well trained, courteous and did their job well, always giving off a smile and being ready to provide service. They even went through the effort and prepared a birthday cake and came to our villa to sing a birthday song. However the staff’s work ethic was sadly limited by the management’s modus operandi. While every private enterprise seeks to maximize its profits, one should strike a balance between doing so and providing a respectable service to its guests. It is therefore disappointing to see that this resort is blindly driven by profit to the extent that there is little to no regard to ensuring that the stay is comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable for guests (as any stay in a beach resort should be). A few examples: - at the reception lobby of the resort there are staff members peddling fruit juice and cold unappetising sandwiches for $5 each. we thought it was strange that they were doing that and it definitely marred our impression of the resort. For a moment we actually thought we were transported to a local street market, which was not exactly the experience we were seeking in a “4.5 star resort” - The resort is open to the public. That is fine as most hotels do the same but There were Throngs of people sitting on the steps and alongside the road leading to the beach bar , spread out on picnic mats having their own snacks as if it was a public area or their own personal property. This made it quite unpleasant for the resort guests like me. Overall, if you were looking for a half-hearted resort experience intermingled with the occasional hints of street market touting and overcrowding experience then look no further, montigo resort is the place for you.

Pros: The peaceful scenery,sea and the various activities available.

Cons: No grocery shop available

Pros: Amazing location and fantastic hotel. From arrival to departure the staff were exceptional and could not do enough to help. Loved this resort and will be returning frequently with family and friends. The location is perfect and the food was plentiful and delicious. Watersports also great. If you want a great resort at a fantastic price this is the place to go. Well done Turi Beach!!

Cons: The coffee in the rooms could do with improvement (although some rooms have Nespresso machines). The worst thing about Turi Beach was having to leave!! :)

Pros: The location of the resort is spectacular. It's on a prime spot at the Nongsa Beach of Batam Island, with a view of Malaysia and Singapore to the north. The beach is alright, but the water is quite clear in front of the property. We did not snorkel or scuba, though, so no comments about the underwater experience. The property has an extended pier with a lovely view. The staff are simply great. Each and everyone at the resort made us feel at home, and were extremely courteous with their service. Cleanliness of the room or the property was never a concern. The rooms are well-maintained, even in the older Riani Wing. The newer Tirtha Wing is obviously better maintained. We stayed in the Riani Wing (room 127), but would suggest visitors to opt for the Tirtha Wing (room 114 or 115, for example) instead, as it is newer. The drinks are really good at the Yatch Club Bar, and the view is amazing from the Island Bar. The Aqua Bar beside the pool was not manned regularly, as there were nobody at the pool most of the time. It's important to note that we went for three days during the week, and hence, found the property to ourselves most of the time. The pool was alright, and we loved the casual canopy seats around the pool for spending leisurely afternoons.

Cons: The first item for improvement would be the breakfast spread. We have had much better at any other resort in Malaysia or Indonesia. Compared to other facilities, in fact, compared to the standard of lunch and dinner at the same restaurant, the breakfast spread was a bit disappointing. There should have been more options for Western and Indonesian items. Overall, the food situation bothered us throughout our stay. There is only one primary restaurant on the property, which is open 24 hours. It serves great dishes for lunch and dinner, but not all of them feature in the in-room dining menu. It also lacks variety of finger-food options. Given the numerous bars across the property, one would expect either most of the bars to serve some finger-food, or the main restaurant to compensate for that. However, this was clearly missing. There was only one fine-dining restaurant open during our stay, which operates only during dinner. It's a Japanese Teppaniyaki place, serving a decent spread. However, the finesse of a fine-dining restaurant is missing, and once again, we have had much better fine-dining options in all other resorts that we visited in Malaysia and Indonesia. Surely, can improve.

Pros: The people there was very friendly and I enjoyed the stay there! Celebrated my gf birthday and they were very thoughtful and prepared for us a birthday cake and send us to the room!

Cons: Nil

Pros: The design of architecture, very close to nature, interior and the views.

Cons: I think you could serve better food and have a wider range of alcoholic beverages. A private Spa Bath could be nice in a sea front view villa.

Pros: The resort is set apart with lots of greenery and a good sea view . The place makes you feel totally relaxed and peaceful . Great for a short getaway !

Pros: The beach, facilities, staff, breakfast

Cons: Food overpriced.

Pros: Near nature and private beach

Cons: Need renovation

Pros: Everything was great, and staff are all very friendly.

Cons: The only thing I can complain about is the TV is extremely too small and the room is a bit old.
