Interesting place,hehehe....Nipah Island Resort.
Quote:
...somewhere around below...
(Going further below the map off the resort will be Pulau Galang,the ex Vietnam camp)
....and its one of an off shore island between Batam island itself and Pulau Galang,so one will need to take a ferry to reach this place,hehehe...
Their basic room that looks like any other 3 star hotel basic room you see in Batam will cost around S$91...and their highest priced room cost S$455.00,the 2nd highest one cost about S$354.00,which they called it the penthouse room.
Both such rooms caught my attention becos of their Bathroom,hehehe...
...there are also cottage style chalet for rent too.
Superior and Deuxe cottage cost between around S$120 to S$130 plus minus tho.
It has what most resort would have too,a private beach like those in Bintan island. They dont seems to have much activities like Montigo Resort,which i believe becos they were still new.

My 1st comparison with this place would be with KTM resort 1st and then follow by Montigo. My personal opinion, Nipah Island Resort seems to want to play Bintan, but i think they seems to be making a little mistake here if their targeted customer were non-Indonesian tourist, hehehe....they have priced their room like Montigo but with KTM kind of standard. And that could likely be their gravest mistake of it all.
End of the day,i believe this place were good for people who wish to visit Barelang Bridge (very nearby) and/or wish to enjoy a getaway from city life. This place is almost totally remote,hehehe...if you are more into shopping ,booking girls,getting a massage etc,...then this place is definitely not for you. Becos if i needed or want any of those, i will 1st have to get-out-of that island 1st,hehehe...then take an about 30 mins taxi ride there.
However, what attracts me to this place is that they claim to have something which i have been looking for over my last 3 over years in Batam ;whereby no other hotels in Batam,other than Formosa has it.
A special kind of room, and Batam only has 5.
Just taking down notes.
