Many of its rooms shows lots of wear and tear over the years.

Santana Disco is pretty localized. I used to go there when the OZONE disco was still opened. Back then it was really crowded on weekends. I always remember the tons of Ojeks parked outside the disco and lots and lots of indon girlies and teochew ceweks standing around outside. Nowadays the disco is barely half full even on weekends.

After the closure of OZONE, Bravo became the number 1 disco in Balai it seems. All the best ceweks (FL) can usually be found there.

Music wise Bravo's beat seems to be more better well at least it is for me. I always feel Santana's beat is more tuned to local Indon music IMO

I have since switched to the Maximillion Hotel which is about 3-4 years old and is in much better condition than the Paradize Hotel. Rates is SG38 for a standard room but the rooms are really nice.

Bro u should try to check it out during your this upcoming trip..for SG8 more its really worth it.

Anyway hope you enjoy your Balai trip this weekend.

Cheers
i could still remember the server from paradiz bringing cans of insecticide to my room and start spraying due to cockroaches. no doubt accessibility is good but the environment kinda turn me off. There's only 2-3 hotels i'll stay in balai (maxi, wiko, gabion) gabion is becuz the receptionist meimei very pretty.
