We had initially reserved a Level 4 room, but it turned out to have Twin beds. As a result, we decided to switch to a Level 2 room, which had an incredible view. The room itself was quite spacious, and the bathroom was absolutely stunning. The resort offers a variety of dining options, a spa, and numerous activities to keep guests entertained or help them unwind. We absolutely adored our experience at this resort! 😍
Visiting the beach is an affordable and enjoyable experience with an entrance fee of only 3k per person, car parking fee of 10k, and a hut rent of 50k with no minimum hour requirement. The sand is exceptionally soft and pleasant to walk on, which made my visit even more enjoyable. During my visit, I arrived at 11am and by 2pm, the beach had low tide, allowing me to explore further by foot. This beach is perfect for families with children, as it offers a safe and fun environment for all ages.
This beach is absolutely stunning, with its pristine white sand. The ideal time to visit is around 5:00 PM, so you can marvel at the breathtaking sunset. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even take a boat to Pulau Putri for just Idr 40,000. Getting there is easy, as it's only a 30-minute car ride from Hang Nadim airport.
Upon arriving at the beach, I initially had concerns about its cleanliness, given my past experiences with Batam beaches (excluding those beyond the Barelang Bridge). However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this beach was well-maintained and enjoyable overall. The only negative aspect was the presence of numerous glass shards scattered throughout the sand, particularly on the far left side of the beach (referred to as Pantai 2 by a local). Some of these shards were quite sharp, which posed a potential hazard.
The beach is well-known and attracts a lot of visitors, but it's not as busy as Barelang or Nongsa beaches. The water is shallow enough that even an adult can walk out to the middle without fear of drowning. It's definitely worth a visit, and a great spot to spend time with friends and family.
Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.
The hottest month of the island is April - air temperature during this time warms up to 33.1°C and water up to 30.8°C in May.
