Just google for their website, and can choose a variety of Spa package there. Suggest to book in advance if heading during weekend, as the spa may be fully book and have to wait.

Price wise still ok la... I like the package, and important, privacy =D



Agreed. Better to get from reliable source...

Another one you can try is TROPICAL BALI, infront of novotel hotel. Clean. But prices are abit steep. Very professional

Most importantly great place for some action in the Jacuzzi tub?

With the clear advice and maps from bro nono1973, I made my way to octopuss yesterday afternoon. Turn out to be a not so nice experience.

Went up 8th floor and ushered in and a GRO came to me. Sat down and I told her I'm taking executuve room at idr 343000. She explained that girls from Gold cateogory costs idr 863000!! I repeated a few times asking if the price included room. She said no. I also asked if it is a Chinese New year inflation she said no again claiming it is a usual price.

Can bro clarify if I have made a mistake on pricing?

I didn't take it up and left for a massage cum special at K8 instead. Cost me 330000 idr for massage 1.5 hours plus hj by a 34 girl from surubaya.

prices of duty free at hbf are slightly higher then airport and batam, but I think purchasing at hbf is definetly safer than btm as liquors sold there r quite suspicious at times especially chivas and jw.

silliporeans arriving from peninsula Malaysia are not entitled to any duty free purchase.

Hey bro,good to see ya.

Yea,it is yet another "excuse" to visit Batam,hehehe...but not in the next 2 weeks,even tho its March 2015....lol.

In my most good trips to Batam,i will ALWAYS look forward to my next one,but not for this CNY trip.(this trip no good la) In fact i am now looking forward to the END of CNY before i head to Batam...again,hehehe...

Actually they didnt really check my belongings thoroughly.

They didnt go deep right into my bag ,ransack my bag nor even touch 99% of my belongings. They will also ask me if i am smoker and if i bring any indo cigarette etc etc.

The whole scenario is like this (maybe its just my case only),if i WANT the custom officer to check my belongings,all i need to do is go buy something from DFS and carry the DFS plastic bag with the DFS items in it. Then i am almost 100% sure they will check my belonging becos this seems to happen EVERYTIME. But if i DONT WANT the custom officer to check my belongings,then i just dont buy anything from DFS,hehehe...

Honestly,i dont know the reason/s behind the Sillypore custom's action. About 3 to 4 trips ago,i was with 3 other bros from this forum coming back to Sillypore from Batam,we visited DFS and one bro and me bought something from DFS,the other 2 bros didnt. When we enter the "human scanning machine",the bro and me who bought from DFS got checked,but the other 2 bros who DIDNT buy from DFS,get thru smoothly.

They just do more checks during holiday seasons as a "show" and of cos, more people tend to try to smuggle when there are lots of people.

!!

When it comes to medication. It is better to be safe than sorry. No bad intentions, but safety issues. I don't really trust medications off the streets, even from Singapore. Medical pills from Indonesia Pharmacy is still regulated.

Thank you for your input.

I usually purchase my liquor from DFS at Changi Airport but the issue with this outlet is it seldom has a wide range or variety.

Bro, anything consumed into own body must be extra extra careful...some money is not worth saving, of cause that is only my 1 IDR opinion.

Thank you very much for sharing,bro.

Mind i ask for its location? As in near to which massage joint,hotel ,landmark etc etc.

Sorry,when i 1st come to this thread,massage 28 or 82 is already closed,and i didnt even get a chance to locate its previous location. Well,unless you are saying it is at the area where the "new" massage 28/82 near to Utama area.

I shall try to pinpoint Bunga Massage exact location in my next trip to batam if i know how to 1st locate it,hehehe...thanks again,bro.

Most if not all Octopus Spa info at Pacific Hotel are stated below :

http://sammyboyforum.org.nz/showpos...ostcount=28809

Before 2pm has a 30% discount if i dont remember wrong. If you asked about the girls on the Gold Category when you are there,you will understand that when there's Gold,they should also have Silver or lower category too.

Bro Miumiu visited Octopus a day before you according to the date stated as below :

http://sammyboyforum.org.nz/showpost.ph...ostcount=29081

You may wish to read carefully before you visit Octopus again. Occasionally,they will also have some extra promotion (most time they dont),and as bros here do not work for Octopus Spa,so a minor price difference may varies from time to time.

Bro...the bunga massage occupies the very same shop that used to be massage 28 / massage 28.....it is located at same row with Hotel Romance...and facing in front opposite of DC Mall...is within walking distance from Hotel Utama.

Just sharing. Hope it helps. Thanks
