Saw someone mention it in the first few hundred page of this thread but he didn't specific where and he say it cost about 1.8juta? at 2007/2008.
Best hotel? Very subjective. Ultimately depend on your budget.

Best hotel for $200 budget a night cheongster?
Best hotel for $500 budget a night cheongster?
Best hotel for $1,000 budget a night cheongster?

Another point to note, it is very highly unlightly the hotel will allow 4pax to stay overnight in the room/suite. Unless you're staying in 2 bedroom units. Or unless you pay for "additonal bed". But usually they dun check, unless the noise you make warrants a complain from the guest next door.

Within Nagoya area, iHotel should be the most expensive and it is very difficult to book even with corporate account. You needa book at least 2 weeks in advance to have high chance to secure a room. But I dun think they've Jacuzzi in the room though. The do have one on the swimming pool deck, with hot water.

Another one is the old Mandarin during the casino days (now called Goodway). Their presidential suite has very BIG jacuzzi, can easily accomodate MFF. The price was $1,200++ a night, but this was way back in 2004. But do note that Batam hotels wear and tear VERY FAST, and they're not the best people in keeping a hotel well-maintained.

The BCC Hotel premiere suits does have a jacuzzi, but the size is only only for one person. In fact it is smaller than a normal bath tub. Location wise, slight outside Nagoya, at Penuin/Baloi area.

Outta town, you can try Harmoni One located at Batam Centre. Their deluxe rooms have a BIG tub (something like Japanese bath type) which can accomodate at least 2 pax. When standing up, the water can reach waist level.

Another point to note. Most up market hotels in Batam have 2 prices (local and foreigner), and of course more expensive ($10-30) for foreigners. It helps to have a Batam KTP or KITAS or Indo Passport, or a local friend that can use his/her identity to check-in. But since you touch on the most expensive hotel, I don't see a point in saving this kinda amount which not even amount to tips.
