Located at Nongsa, Batam Island, Batam View Beach Resort is 35 minutes by ferry from Singapore and is attractive for many families and corporate clients that are looking for an affordable getaway. The resort hotel houses a Swimming Pool, Private Beach, Sea Sport Center, Spa Facilities, and is a stone's throw from various golf courses such as Indah Puri, Tering Bay, Palm Spring, and South Link.
Batam view baeach resort dengan pemandangannya yang sungguh exited dan menyenangkan untuk stay ditempat yang cukup tenang karena letaknya di pinggiran batam. CUkup jauh dari kota batam yang penuh keramaian. Kelebihan batam view adalah view kamar yang mengahdap laut selat philips ,kasur yang luar biasa nyaman, plus sofa dan TV cable yang memanjakan cocok buat kamu yang mau liburan atau bulan madu.
Untuk fasilitas sport jangan khawatir, ada joging track,basket ball field, snooker,kayak, diving,jetsky,banana boat,voley ball masih banyak lagi dech.
Batam view termasuk salah satu hotel yang menurut gw layak dijadikan tempat favorit untuk menginap atau buat acara kumpul keluarga. Nyaman dech pokoknya, pantainya yang tidak dalam cocok buat anak-anak bermain di laut. Pantainya sengaja di blok sejauh kira-kira 150 meter dengan beton penghalang ombak jadi seperti berenang di kolam yang besaaarr.

Enaknya Makan "Otak-Otak" khas Kijang
Siapa yang gak kenal otak-otak ? bukan otak beneran bro. Makanan khas Indonesia ini punya bentuk dan macam yang beragam. Sulawesi, Jawa,Sumatera punya jenis otak-otak yang berbeda. Nah kalau mau coba otak-otak khas Riau Kepulauan gak sah kayaknya kalau kita gak makan otak-otak yang terkenal dari daerah Kijang di Pulau Bintan, tepatnya sekitar 20 km dari kota Tanjung Pinang Ibukota Pulau Bintan sekalian ke Penyengat. Otak-otak khas kijang ada dua macam, ikan asli atau campuran sotong. Memang sedikit berbeda dengan otak-otak yang dijual dijawa dan sulawesi yang cenderung memakai bumbu kacang. Kalau khas Kijang maupun Riau Kepualauan tidak memakai kuah. Jadi Rasa otak-otak yang manis pedas bakal murni terasa.
Kalau anda sedang di Batam jangan kuatir ada beberapa rumah makan yang menjual otak-otak. Tapi menurut saya yang lumayan enak otak-otak yang di Jual di restoran Sup Ikan Yong-Kee di Nagoya maupun Batam Center.
Akhirnya kalau anda sedang mampir ke BIntan jangan lupa coba otak-otak khas di KIjang. Dijamin Muantabb dan Maknyuss rasanya. Selamat berwisata kuliner

Batam the Modern Island for Holiday
Batam is an island and city in Riau Islands Province of Indonesia, known for its free trade zone area as part of the Sijori Growth Triangle, is located 20 km (12.5 miles) off Singapore's south coast. The 715 km² (276 miles²) island has a population of 965,062.
Batam is located east of Karimun and Bulan Island, west of Bintan, north of Rempang, and south of Singapore. The Riau Strait (Selat Riau) separates Batam and Bintan
Major communities on Batam are Sekupang, Jodoh, Nagoya, Sungai Panas, Batam Centre, Baloi, Batu Ampar, and Bengkong.

The official language on the island is Indonesian, but due to the sizeable Chinese population, Chinese languages including Teochew, Hokkien and Mandarin are also spoken.
Beginning in the 1970s, the island underwent a major transformation from a largely forested area into a major harbor and industrial zone. The population grew from a few thousand in the 1960s into hundreds of thousands.[citation needed] The island's economy benefits from being close to Singapore, and, with lower labour costs and special government incentives, is the site of many factories operated by Singaporean companies. Shipbuilding and electronics manufacturing are major industries on the island; there are also several resorts and tourist destinations on the island.
Under a framework signed in June 2006, Batam, along with parts of neighboring Bintan and Karimun, are a part of a Special Economic Zone with Singapore; this zone eliminates tariffs and value-added taxes for goods shipped between Batam and Singapore.
The island is connected by several ferry services to nearby cities, including Bintan, Karimun, Singapore and Johor Bahru (Malaysia); the trip to Singapore takes less than one hour.
Hang Nadim Airport is the island's airport, and has the longest runway in Indonesia; Jakarta is the most important destination.

The "Barelang" bridges are a major landmark on Batam. The name is an abbreviation of Batam-Rempang-Galang, the three major islands connected by the bridges, and 3 more smaller islands. The bridges were constructed under Habibie as the Minister for Research and Technology with funding from the German government.

Di Pelabuhan Sekupang juga terdapat terminal International menuju Seingapura dan Johor Malaysia dengan kapal JetBoat seperti Batamfast,Penguin,Raider dll. Untuk waktu tempuh menuju singapura dari pelabuhan Sekupang hanya memakan waktu 40 menit ini dikarenakan letak geografis Pelabuhan ini yang paling dekat dengan Singapura.
jangan lupa jika ingin keluar dari batam lewat pelabuhan mesti bawa KTP batam atau surat jalan dari perusahaan atau Tiket pesawat Pulang Pergi. Karna kalau tidak anda bakal ditahan oleh petugas perdaduk untuk membayar uang jaminan. Karena di Batam diberlakukan sistem PERDADUK untuk menghindari bebasnya pencari kerja keluar masuk batam ataupun tindakan kriminal antar negara.
