Batam Harris Resort

Short 3D2N trip to Batam Harris Resort Aug 09. We opt for the all inclusive promotion package - which comes with free massage, free flow of red wine and package include games (bowling, archery, pool, ping-pong etc). Better to avoid weekends as it can get very crowded. We went on weekdays and were able to enjoy all the facilities leisurely.
