I just Agoda and Booking.com yesterday,almost sure there wont be room left on New Year eve in Zest unless one booked their room at a much earlier time. Price also wont be at around S$33 during an ultra peak season,hehehe...my guess is,about double?

Usually there are 7 to 9 pages of Batam hotels to choose from on those websites,but yesterday there is only 1 page left,hehehe...

Yes,this hotel likely will have room,but at 3 times the normal pricing becos their regular rooms were already out. Well,unless one plans to pay around S$150 or more to stay in their suite room,there's still chance he might get it,hehehe...

Just imagine,Nagoya Hill Hotel room already going at 5 juta per night yesterday....

M1 hotel is one kind of hotel meant mostly for cheongster targeting M1 KTV,so families usually wont book a room there,chances of getting a room there is a bit higher,but still....well...

...and as for Amir,it is a hotel most people i knew wont like to stay in due to their not-so-good service and lacking good ratings,so chances of getting a room there should be alright,afterall...most only need a room with a bed that are able to fit 2 people,hehehe...but one might have to bear with some of their "shits",hehehe...

This 2 hotels,during peak season already difficult to get a room,New Year eve is ultra peak...so well...unlikely anyone can get a room unless one booked way in advance.

Batam Harbour hotel's highend room has also been fully booked too,hehehe...

Its a BIG harvest time for Batam's hotel industry from Dec to Feb,hehehe...

There are bound to be hotel rooms in Batam regardless of any season,but during an ultra peak,and wishing to stay in one that are good enough on a last min,i believe it will be a challenge.

I learned that during my 1st CNY Batam trip,hehehe...i queued for about 15 mins in the morning to have breakfast at Goodway Hotel (about S$56 at Kaha),let's not forget wifi usage too,the more people staying in a hotel,the wifi bandwidth maybe weaken. Formosa still have room back then,but i CANNOT forget it is selling at S$460,hehehe...Harris Resort normal room going at S$1.2k plus...hehehe...

Lesson i learned 3 year plus ago, plan early,book early...am looking forward to CNY 2018 now. Planning....planning...and finalizing on Jan 2018.
