Godes seem reasonable. My budget would be abt 400 k a nite.

Can anybody give some inputs and hopefully recommendations?

There is not much diff, juz tat i feel permata is the only one using flat + fixed pricing, meaning they will juz price the gals on the regular price u normally get for diff categories (e.g. 800k-milfs, 1-1.2juta-SYTs) so its a matter of take it or leave it. Whereas, most if not all other joints can fluctuate the prices irregularly for diff gals based on many factors like nego skills, with or w/o cab/ojek, regular customer discounts out of goodwill, etc
Do note that Permata Indah pricing is not non-negotiable. Just like Gold Bird.

Every booking joint is operate in a different business characteristic under different concept,understand them well and the upperhand of bargaining will lie in your hand.

Just an opinion.

4) The food in the room service menu is cheap and delicious. I ordered special fried rice with milo ice for 2 sets (me & cewek) only cost 900k=$9 nia. No need to go outside to buy dinner.

5) There are a few massage centres nearby like abi massage, bahari massage, Lailai massage that can be called to your hotel room. (got happy ending)
Noted with many thanks.

Didnt know that area is such a paradise until you says it,hehehe....about time i slowly venture out to that area more. Your post has just been bookmarked for my future reference,hehehe...

Sincerely thank you.

So, she assumed that I always change girls type. I acted blur and ask her what is chap chye, and she had a hard time flipping her prata. LOL...
No wonder you all were talking something about chap chai when i was around...lol. Hmm...,like that i will need to go learn Bahasa Indo since i seems well known for not knowing the language. So many trips to Batam,but i am still too lazy to learn. *in deep thoughts*
