I spoke to a taxi driver and was told the locals dont like this hotel becos of the many statues and figurines...to the muslim majority of Batam residents it denotes idol worship and therefore an evil place. It wont bother most visitors but maybe..maybe some girls will refuse to stay there.

This place is far away from Nagoya. Not that visitor friendly as well. There is a Harris hotel nearer to the Mega Mall complex.
Batam Centre is quite dead, when they tried to shut down Batu Ampar( now harbour bay), years ago, hoping to raise Batam Centre as the main tourist destination, and shifting of all gov offices to Batam Centre, it did not work. Tourist still flock to Nagoya n Jodoh.
