Trip to Batam Indonesia--Harbour Bay
Trip to Batam Indonesia--Harbour Bay
The Promenade, The service apartment, the live band
During my ferry journey from Jakarta to Batam and then to Singapore, I made a stop in Batam and chose to extend my stay for one night, departing from my usual practice of immediately returning to Singapore. The reason for this change was a dinner appointment with a client in Batam. This time, I deviated from my customary hotel check-in routine, as per the advice of a friend, and decided to stay for one night in a service apartment located in Harbour Bay.
I am quite satisfied with the room condition of the service apartment, even though it doesn't appear to be a typical hotel-style accommodation. Instead, it has a somewhat "Home Stay" vibe.
Usually, I rush through Harbor Bay, heading to catch the ferry between Batam and Singapore. However, this time was different from the norm. I had the rare opportunity to observe this place more closely. Whether it was the morning exercises in the square or enjoying the sunset on the promenade in the evening, I truly appreciated the enchanting charm of the Harbor Bay area. As my dinner appointment with the client got rescheduled, I no longer needed to worry about finding a quiet spot for conversation. Instead, I decided to embrace a lively atmosphere with a live band, so I chose to dine at the Port House restaurant, because I knew they have an amazing band there. I had a delightful night.
