Its more like i have been staying there for quite a bit of time, i simply fine tune what fits me best. Again, being a long time customer there, my expectation becomes higher and that leads to being fussy (its actually very fussy).
When i apply my expectation level from Formosa to other hotels in Batam,hmm...many hotel's overall quality simply couldnt even come close to it. Hence i have to be bringing myself down to the level during the 1st few times about 5 years ago where i start visiting Batam. Held on to those lower expectation to stay in so that i can be a more fairer to the other Batam hotels. From thereon, i start building few more "FormosaS".
By the way, now there's no need to wash my Batam room's curtain recently, becos they just swapped it with a brand new non-black-out curtain which is thinner, so that they can wash it more frequently on their own.
(i think they change it new becos i "washed" it, as they might think i didnt like it)

Only if thats the only choice for me,otherwise i would avoid it.
Reason, usually thats the time where open corruption from the immigration officers start,hehehe...
I mean i time it a few times, the chance of getting into this corruption base seems higher during those timing. So far about 3 to 4 of the tourists i knew has had this issue and excluding strangers i have seen whom i do not know. Funny odd hours, right?
I choose not to seek trouble, thats why most would rarely see me on a last ferry to/fro Batam.

Nothing really special on the roadshow at Harbour Front which ends on Wednesday (nothing you havent already know),except the 2 girls who dress up exorbitantly.
And yes, i was there last Tuesday. Exchange rate was 10260/SGD opposite Formosa hotel on Thursday tho. Quite a surprise because i got 10200/SGD on Tuesday when i drop in. That new lady didnt know me....grrr....
Sorry, didnt manage to catch up with you,hehehe...too many people needs to see me on that few days already. And they are buying me some new "toys" to play.
