Batam View Beach Resort - I did a full review of this resort in this video with price and address: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XQLM23vDaPY.html
Grand Batam is not a new mall. It's a new building, but in the same spot. Basically Grand Batam got renovated from a supermarket called Top 100 and that old building is my childhood. It got renovated because the old buildings wall is cracked and the crack is so dangerous that they have to shut down the building until the crack is fixed. And because the crack fix is more expensive than to renovate, so they just Kool-Aid Man-ned that old building, rebuild it, and here we go, modern day Grand Batam
Nope, the old Top 100 was 2 storey building. It was totally demolished and the new Grand Batam Mall is built in the same place and expanded much bigger and more floors. Totally brand new building on old Top 100 small building mall
Actually, there is no flight from Johor or Singapore to Batam. Do you know why? Because the plane will have to descent straight away after take off, as the distance is really close. Anyway, you can fly to Batam from Subang Malaysia

I took my first unaccompanied flight when I was 11 years old. I have lived in India, Malaysia and Singapore. I never knew about Batam. Soon I will visit Batam

Hello, Great video ! Few questions: 1) How many days do you recommend to spend in Batam ? 2) Can I buy a SIM Card at the harbor upon arrival in Batam ? 3) Are the nice beaches far from the the Batam Nagoya area ? Thank you so much for your help. Take care !
Yes we loved it there! ☺️ Indonesia has so many beautiful islands to explore, and this is a good starting point when coming from Malaysia or Singapore.

We had to exchange cash, which I would recommend just to be safe. Also, most of the vendors told us they prefer Singapore dollars more than American dollars. Hope that helps!
