Not all rooms at this hotel come with pleasant views. Many reviewers expecting lush tropical greenery felt short-changed opening their curtains to a wall or abandoned, unkempt spaces, with some claiming they had to travel out of the locale to witness the bountiful beauty of Batam.
Spa-goers occasionally balk at the price and quality of treatments offered at this hotel's health club. Some claim staff are unwelcoming and prone to cutting treatments short, while others gripe about having to ask for simple things such as towels, initial health checks or specific aromatherapy oils.
