Bro, TP is definitely not a god-forsaken place although out of favour these days due to ever alluring Batam and the highly popular Balai. It was 'The Place' some 20 to 30 years ago with the army-run camps with plentiful cheap young girls.
TP, is still an exciting place to explore these days if you are interested in the good old Singapore in the 50s or 60s. You still get good Chinese food at prices lower than Batam and fresh seafood at the market in town. Harumanis mangoes are selling at 15k to 20k IDR per kilo.
Do stay in town when visiting TP and the hotels are reasonably cheap and clean. Night and Day Laguna is a nice good hotel costing $35 or so. You can also get ceweks from the minders hanging around town or from drivers and hotel staff. Cheers.
