In the event if one forgets to book his/her return ticket when they arrive at Harbour Bay,and has already headed over to the hotel. You may still request the Hotel receptionist to help you call Horizon Ferries aka ex Prima Ferries to make an advance booking for a return seat back to Sillypore. Alternatively,you may also do so yourself via a phone call away if you have the ferry counter's phone number. Some counter staffs do speak English. You will still need to head to ex. Prima Ferries counter to collect the Boarding pass on the day of departure.

Thank you for replying,bro.
From a tourist perspective, can i safely say that even if a girl in a booking joint steals from a tourist,the tourist more or less wont be able to do much,other than exposing the name of the joint and the girl's name online. And if the victim does not expose the joints or the girls name online,chances are cases of such may just repeat itself since there wont be anything any tourist/s can do about it if it happens...again.
Now i understand why it is VERY important for a tourist to always keep their personal stuffs and/or expensive belongings constantly in check.

And so far i guess they are the only hotel which serve free breakfast without dining area within the hotel.
My favorite room choice at this hotel will be economic 2 in compare of prices and room facilities.

I see,i see....thanks for sharing why hotels need to send breakfast to room.
My choice of hotel is the room. I need the room in a hotel to be "special",to be flexible,so that during my stay,i can transform them into my kind of room,hehehe....if there are any hotels in Batam that has my "kind" of room,i am more than willing to switch.
I am now eyeing Pacific Palace Hotel.

New Berlian no need to bargain,just tell Mami you are w/o driver,the price auto discount 50k-100k. And if you stay at Formosa,the girl there can walk to your room at your desired time,hehehe....got an ex colleague who is a regular there and always ask for same girl.
My golden question,hehehe...how do you rate your last trip at Batam base on a scale of 1 to 10?
