Batam Island: A Quick Escape from the City Life

Here's a summary from our trip to Batam Island last year booked via Five Stars Tours travel agency. We took the 2D1N Spa Bliss Package at Harris Resort Waterfront as a birthday gift for my mom.

The package includes:

2-way ferry ticket for 4 adults and two kids (excluding travel tax)
2 rooms (1 family room with a connecting door to a regular room)
Complimentary breakfast buffet at Harris Cafe
2 wood oven-baked pizza at Pronto Pizzeria
Free bowling game (bring your own socks)
Traditional Indonesian massage for 4 pax

• Read about our pleasant Batam Fast ferry ride on my Batam Island Escapade post. We reached Waterfront City Ferry Terminal fast and safe.

• Read my hotel/resort review for Harris Resort Waterfront. They are once awarded as Best Family Hotel.

• Read how we spent our Day 1 here. Teaser: we had the pool all by ourselves, the bowling was fun, the pizza was superb, and the traditional Indonesian massage is heavenly.

• I featured the Pronto Pizzeria here. I am now dreaming to have their freshly wood oven-baked pizza!

• Discover Batam's most popular seafood restaurant called Golden Prawn 933. My mom tremendously enjoyed the birthday dinner we gave her there. The crowd even sang happy birthday many times!

• Click here for our equally awesome Day 2. We had a grand time exploring the Batam Mangroove and Baby G had his first taste of the sand. I captured his precious moments with K. 

• K had a blast taking all the challenges at Harris Extreme Camp. Go see it for yourself here.
