Over the weekend, I paid a visit to Montigo Resorts in Batam on a private journey, and simply had to do a fast post on the place before I overlook - the place is simply amazing even though they don't seem to be totally open yet!
Just check out the welcoming view from the foyer…the resort is made up of three varieties of villas with delicate differences - Hill Side Villa, Hill Top Pool Villa and Spa Villa (I reckon you possibly can kind of tell what the differences are from the names!)
There was a cold towel and welcome lemongrass drink to enjoy while we have been checking in…even in the event you don't speak Bahasa Indonesia, no worries because the employees are decently proficient in English. The standard of service is almost equal to that of Membership Med in Bintan, which is basically saying something.
The resort is set right into a hillside, so a fair amount of walking is required - extended exploration of the resort isn't advisable for old folk or these with young children, though journey can simply be taken care of by the numerous buggies servicing the resort.
The ground floor consisted of a spacious lounge full with kitchen facilities and even a Wii…the day beds were so comfortable, you will even fell asleep there!
And oh, the villa pool…it's not big, however most enjoyable - you only have to open the lounge sliding doors, take 2 steps and climb straight into the pool.
The second ground was made up of the two bedrooms with attached bogs - the{master room (which I obtained) has a 4 poster bed, whereas the second room has two single beds…take my phrase for it, once you sink into the mattress and the pillows, you won't need to budge!
Bathroom , The stone bathtub is right under a skylight, and came with a pleasant packet of bathtub salts…too bad I did not have time to soak in there! There's also a separately partitioned bathe stall and bathroom if you have to share the bathroom with someone.
One other superior touch - double sinks! No have to queue or fight for sink area within the morning…big plus point for me.
I hadn't heard about Malin + Goetz before this, but after a quick Google search (doncha simply love on the spot info at your fingertips?) I came upon they're an apothecary based in New York. They've essentially the most amazing smelling toiletries - rum cleaning soap, cilantro body wash, peppermint shampoo…you can simply imagine these pretty scents, can't you?
The restaurant is the one bit that seemed extra harking back to Indonesian design, however by some means I preferred it - just a little bit rustic with modern parts weaved in.
Look up! I had to give two thumbs up to the resort's consideration for nature…as a substitute of demolishing your complete space, they made concessions round among the timber which I thought was a small step in the fitting direction.
From an eco-friendly perspective, the resort also made the effort to preserve as much vitality as potential - the widespread areas of the resort are mostly white with ethereal ceilings and fans, while at the villas solely the required areas such as bedrooms and front room are air conditioned (the staircase up to every floor is ventilated from the surface).
For individuals who cannot utterly disconnect from the internet however yet do not wish to pay hefty roaming fees, you'll be most delighted to know that Montigo Resorts has free Wifi all through your entire resort (personally tested, they have awesomely fast speeds and steady signal!) - are you leaping for joy yet?. This resort already official launching in March 2013.
