Turi Beach Batam 16 - 17 April 2011

Went to Turi Beach Resort at Batam with Lynette on the 16th of April! The reason we went there is because my baby needed a quick get away quickly & I wanted to try out purchasing a coupon which is pretty popular these days, so I bought a coupon from http://www.coupark.com

So my dad sent us to Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal in the morning, around 8am, collected out ferry tickets and pay $20 each for some tax shit.

While waiting for the gate to open!

Reached Nongsapura Ferry Terminal at Batam.

Learned from my cousin that the reason this place is called Nongsapura is because the place is a project between Indonesia & Singapore's government to develop the Nongsa of Batam. That's probably the reason why most resorts there uses SGD.

Got a shock when I arrived at the resort as it was so beautiful and well maintained.

A portion near the reception.

Beautiful view of the pool! This is actually the old pool.

New pool! The one we swam in.

A peep into our humble room.

Decent toilet. Wasn't expecting a bathtub cause I don't really need one and from my experiences, beach resort usually don't have one, unless its those 5 star resorts.

Well, we actually had some problem with our room. First, the key for the safe was lost, so we can't use it and the sliding door for the balcony was broken and we had to wait around 30 minutes for someone to get it fixed.

Always go for Nasi Goreng when on vacation in Batam! Yummy!

They have this real long 'jetty' that extends roughly 200m out into the sea and at 1 point of the 'jetty' has this Island Bar or something, pretty chilling.

Can't believe we slept on the hammock for around 3o to 45 minutes!

And we went for a swim! Its fun to take picture underwater!

Peace!

Went to Batam Center to get some cheap ass daily necessaries before heading back to Singapore. Great trip overall, looking forward to my next get away!
