Took an hour ride on the ferry ($47/pax for a 2 way ticket)
A cheery driver was there to greet us and informed us there was only one other room booked. (out of a total of 6 rooms)
It's owned by a Swedish woman who runs the joint with her Australian husband. I should insert here the story of the hat that got away.Grumpy found the hat whilst looking through what movie to borrow and asked if it was for sale. The very nice Mr Aussie was willing to part with it for a 20 but his wife was not too happy. (turns out her father gave it to him!) Sensing a sticky situation, I quietly suggested to Grumpy that we go and buy a similar hat and he reluctantly gave it up. Kept going on and ON about it all the way back home. At least he took a picture with it.
The whole point I wanted to go there was for the spa and I have made some discoveries:
1) The back of my right leg is a helluva lot more ticklish than my left.
2) I really REALLY like getting my stomach massaged.
3) The feeling of having someone rub sugar on my back is fantastic.
4) I do not fancy my fingers being massaged.
Judging from Grumpy's snores, I think it's safe to say he enjoyed it too.Had their famous beer-can chicken for dinner.
Staying there felt more like staying at someone's house rather than a hotel/resort. It was really different. Will definately go again. Can you believe their 3hr spa package is only 99+ ??No wonder Singaporeans head to Batam for spa.
