Did anyone here stayed in Batam View Resort before?

1.Is this hotel far away from the pick up joints?
2.Is this place girls friendly?
3.How much for taxi fare to get to town?
4.What recreations do I have from this hotel, for example does it really have a beach where I can swim?

I saw a promotion here in JB, total for 1D/1N, breakfast and ferry fares(JB duty free zone boarding) is RM250 (single) during weekdays. RM270 Weekends. For double occupancy only RM170 each.
I am not sure if I heard the person from the travel agency correctly. But she said I have option to stay 1 more night free. I saw their website, their advertising rates are much more higher. I will post more after buy the package which I think will be next week. Anybody want join me also can PM me as I am newbie to Batam. Thank you.

Batam View Beach Resort? Located in Nongsa one???

Not near to city where the fun is woh.. if I am correct. Let's see..

I count from SG side, so JB maybe slightly different.

Hotel for 1 day + breakie + Ferry.

Ferry = SGD34 (two ways inclusive tax both ways to Harbour Bay)
Hotel = SGD66 (Estimated value if you take a nice hotel, I took 4 star one)

Total = SGD100

Located near disco, easy to town and Harbour Bay. Of course unless if you are after a clean trip, though not to what I think as you ask about girl friendliness. Nongsa, gals might ask a lot for the taxi to go back esp if they stay in Nagoya.
