Hello Kyle, Great video ! Few questions: 1) What is the main difference beteween Batam and Bali ? 2) Is Batam cheaper than Bali ? 3) Is I Batam Hotel a good hotel (Breakfast buffet, location, near convenience stores and public transportation, etc) ? 4) Can I use Grab in Batam ? 5) Where can I buy a SIM Card as soon as I arrive in Batam from Singapore ? Thank you so much for you help. Take care Kyle.
Hello Antonio. Thanks for watching. Below are the answers for your questions from my POV: 1. Personally I think Batam is more laid back than Bali. It’s very peaceful. Also it is not very crowded which I really loved. 2. I think Batam is more cheaper because it’s not very touristry. Food and drinks are very affordable. 3. Batam 1 Hotel is good location wise. It’s very accessible to the main attractions in Batam. I did not avail the food coz I prefer to just eat outside but there is like a cafe/restaurant down the hotel and also convenience store. Nagoya Shopping Mall is less the 3km away from the hotel. In terms of public transportation, I did not see any. So I mostly relied on Grab. I actually asked one of my grab drivers regarding the public transportation, I was told that it was mostly bus which I did not try. 4. Yes, I only relied on GRAB interms of transportation. Grab rates are extremely cheap. Grab drivers are friendly and nice but some can’t speak english so it’s helpful to study basic bahasa. 5. If you are coming from SG, you’ll either arrive in Batam Center or Harbour Bay, I saw some stalls in the ferry terminal that sells sim card. I did not buy a sim card because my Malaysian Sim can register to roaming data. Hope I answered all of your queries. If you have more feel free to reply I’ll be happy to answer. Just a tip though, if you will go to Batam for Beach, try booking 1 day of your accommodation to one of their Hotel Beach resorts. Though they have free beached and the Infinity Beach club, Deep Sea Beach Club and Atlantis Beach Club are all amazing. You go there on a Daytrip and just buy a meal or drink you can enter. 🤍🤍🤍
Hello po. Yes, Grab rate are extremely cheap and affordable. I relied mostly on it to reach my itineraries coz I didn’t see much public transpo. Stay in Batam Center or Nagoya it’s near the attractions.

How about the grab fare po, is it cheap po?
Hello po. Yes, Grab rate are extremely cheap and affordable. I relied mostly on it to reach my itineraries coz I didn’t see much public transpo. Stay in Batam Center or Nagoya it’s near the attractions.
@@travelokyle lol - they are over crowded, over rated, and probably the dirtiest areas of Batam
