Their check-in timing is 1pm & check-out at 11pm. You only need to make payment when you are there. Cash payment is preferred to avoid a 2.9% surcharge for credit card payment. You need to purchase ferry tickets to get there! I bought from batam fast. The ferry departs from Harbourfront ferry terminal! Didn't take much photos for the front part of the journey; still not fully awake I think! :/
Once we cleared the immigration and arrived at Batam, we saw a staff from Tempat Senang waiting for us. There was a slight rain when we arrived but that was the only rain we saw during our stay there. We waited a while at the terminal as the staff is fetching another group of guests along with us to the resort, but I think that group of people were buying things from the terminal or something?
Anyways, finally we were on the way to the resort and apparently there is a parrot just outside the entrance to the reception area.
We were led into the reception area and on the table, there were a lot of variety of the treatment products they used. Since we needed to choose our first round of treatments, we ended up smelling the various products.
After selecting our treatment and our meal after we are done with our spa, we went led to our room to settle down first!
Swinging chairs just outside our room
Bottle cottage! (Our room)
Picture on the wall and door to toilet
BED
Bottles used as design in the room!
Fridge and toilet. More bottles used!
Shower area
Jacuzzi & sink!
Shower foam, shampoo & conditioner were all provided. In addition, there are quite a number of their products placed beside the sink for us to try out! Somehow, we didn't take a close up picture of those products.. Based on what I can remember, there were facial foam, face mist, toner, hair mask & etc.
After that, we were brought to the spa area!
To spa~
The first round of treatment for me was foot massage, Tibetan Hot Stone Massage & hydrating facial treatment. My friend opt to do a hair spa treatment instead of facial. It was my first time trying out foot massage since my knowledge of foot massage involves pain >.< But this foot massage was soooo relaxing and soothing that I found myself falling asleep.. zzzz They provided an eye mask to cover our eyes as below!
The hot stone massage was.. well... HOT! Scorching hot stones are placed on your body.. The therapists even ask if we wanted to change the treatment cause we kept flinching and saying it's too hot :/ But we managed to 'tahan' and completed the hot stone treatment >.< Not something I would try again I think. Facial treatment was ok I guess. My friend says the hair spa is not bad though!
Time for lunch! We choose some spa set for 2. It was not too bad; makes you feel kinda of healthy? It's full of fruits and vegetables ;)
Then we went back to our room to watch movie and 'nua'. They provide you with a thumb drive which you can go to the reception to download movies and watch back in the rooms. CDs and DVDs were available as well. We also set up our Jacuzzi bath as well!
Bubbles bubbles!~
For dinner, we had a sprite chicken for 2! Beer chicken is also available if you prefer alcohol! It's quite nice but quite a big portion for 2! Furthermore, it comes with mash potato and some vegetable! Got a bit sick of the chicken by the end of the meal -.-
Sprite chicken
They have a buffet breakfast in the morning but I am not impressed by the food.. I mainly ate the toast.
We decided to eat our instant noodle that we brought for lunch. We requested for some hot water from the reception.
Our snacks from Singapore >.<
Then after watching some more movie, we decided to play at the pool.
Snapping photo as well of course!
Another pool
Then we played another kind of pool! :D It's my first time playing. There were some other staff watching us playing and laughing at us as well ;D
For our last dinner, we tried out their drinks and kebab for 2. We chose chicken and beef for the kebab. The beef is well flavoured but it is too tough! That pot of vegetable was not bad though! The dish came with some fried potato thing and a scoop of rice and it tastes very well with the sauce from the vegetables!
Then it is the end of our stay! The next morning while waiting for our ride to the ferry terminal, we bought some for their products at the reception. We also bought kueh lapis from the ferry terminal before heading to Singapore.
Then, it's the end of our short trip in Batam! Back at Vivo, we had a late lunch together before going home! Now, that is what breakfast should be like!
And yes! I am going to catch my flight to KOREA THIS FRIDAY!! Sayonara people!!!
