Nice intro bro..may 1 day drop there to take a look cos the pricing for 175k ++ per pax is relatively high or equivalent to Sillypore's average restaurant. I believe the atmosphere of this place should be good due to its price.

The picture makes me hungry...lol

Party Hat and Mask yes, at provision shop or Top100 should have. Seen it before somewhere.
Will try to bring 1 or 2 pieces of the light stick over to test out if it can be bring thru custom. The problem with light stick is that it's Liquid and it's chemical. I believe small quantity should be fine,but nonetheless i better double check again.

The only provision store i been to is the one behind Formosa,they confirm don't have the items i want. Harbour Mart at Harbour Bay jetty also do not have,Hypermart in Nagoya Hill Mall don't have too. I guess i will just have to venture out more and further in my trips...my bad here.

I just google for indo school holiday but it appears there are no known info for this year. Manage to find out last year's indo school holiday was between June/July tho. Looks like this month or next month if want to go Batam need to advance book hotel room by a week.Don't want to make the same mistake again like my 4th trip...go Batam and almost no room to stay in.

Thanks for the heads up,bro.

No lift??? Total how many floors are there in this hotel?

Everything from the picture of the hotel looks neat,can't help wondering why hotel of this class has no lift. Hope they have at least an escalator for people who stays 2nd floor and onward tho.
