Here are my reviews for turi beach resort, as my first time solo travellers. The locals are nice, the location is good too. With welcome drinks once you check in the hotel( which i did not drink as i was busy checking in but looks delicious 🤤). It was good to unwind, to relax your mental health. The staff gave me a nice room which made me more appreciated. The only thing I'm not okay with is there is no lotion in the room which makes me a little bit sad as i expected to have one. But the overall experience is good. I love the place and the staff are friendliness. I also love the sunset and sunrise . Especially at the island bar restaurant.I will definitely come back there
We recently stayed here and had an absolutely fantastic experience! The staff mentioned we had just missed the end-of-May crowd, so the resort was incredibly calm and peaceful. It felt so serene, and we were even among the only ones in the pool all day. The pool was a great size and very relaxing, with plenty of sun chairs available.
What We Loved:
- Our room was extremely clean with no faults at all. We were upgraded to an Ocean View room, and the views were just beautiful.
- The breakfast buffet had a great and delicious selection. Having 5 different dining options on site was excellent because the food never felt repetitive. We highly recommend trying the Lamb Shank at the Recreational Village!
- We took some classes which were fun to attend. There was no booking required, which was great because it kept our schedule completely flexible.
- The free shuttle service from the BBT Ferry Terminal was very convenient.
- The service staff were all so friendly and attentive to our needs. A huge thank you to Kinasih in particular, who served us both poolside and at the Recreational Village. He is such a friendly guy and provided top-notch service.
Some Minor Improvements:
- Upon arrival, our luggage was accidentally left behind at the ferry terminal, though it was sorted out.
- It was a bit hard to find information about the resort at first, such as the in-room dining menu, directions to the Recreation Village, and details for Chocolate Hour. Most of this was on the TV portal, but our TV was not set up to show it when we first turned it on, so we didn’t know about it until the next day.
- An introduction to the facilities placed in the rooms or explained by the check-in staff would have been very useful.
- We much prefer having physical menus rather than QR codes everywhere, and having physical signs for Chocolate Hour would be a good touch.
Overall though, this is a wonderful resort with great food and excellent staff. We had a very relaxing holiday and would love to come back!
Absolutely loved my 3-day stay at Oakwood!
Rooms come in a variety, and I booked a studio that comes with an open kitchen. The studio is spacious and cozy, perfect for bingeing TV on rainy days. With a kitchen complete with pots and utensils, you can even cook your own or heat up takeaway meals easily. Bed mattress and pillows are soft and clean. Room smells a bit in the afternoon when it gets hot but just a tiny bit, but I'm not sure if the smell is coming from me after working out... oops. Anyway no biggie, problem is easily solved with an air freshener from the supermarket next door. Overall, room is clean and well maintained.
Service from the staff is fantastic too. They are all courteous, respectful and friendly. Staying in this hotel feels like living in a village where everyone greets and smiles at you. My original intention was to come here, gym, swim and eat clean, but it's kind of difficult to do that when the staff keeps tempting you with delicacies. Besides a free daily pastry from their bakery, they also gave me a free afternoon tea for 2. Sorry Oakwood, I didn't try everything because it's a little too much for me, but I feel completely loved and at home here~
The breakfast buffet spread is tasty and... comprehensive. In addition to the 4-star standard offerings in Asia like egg and noodle stations, Continental and Asian options, fresh fruits, yoghurt and coffee machine, they also boast an impressive spread of local delights like nasi lemak, Indo style kueh desserts, pandan flavoured bread and cakes and more. Outside of breakfast, the bistro also serves a wide range of local and international delights either in-person at the bistro or privately in your room.
Picked this hotel partly also because they have a gym and a pool and my experience with both are probably among the best I've had in hotels so far. Besides the usual cardio machines, they also had this all in one rack/machine where you can basically workout most of the major muscle groups without improvising. Very good range of dumbbell pairs and kettle bells too. Probably just lacking a better workout bench, but you can make do with what they have there. And the pool, wow. It was mostly raining when I visited, but on the one day when it's not, the pool boasted a beautiful sunset backdrop in a tranquil setting. Such a beautiful pool at sunset and I had it all to myself!
The hotel is right next to Grand Batam Mall too, you can hop right next door for meals, massage and shopping without stepping out to the sun. Very convenient.
TLDR, I loved my stay here! Room is spacious and cozy, service is fantastic, food is good, amenities are comprehensive; I have no complaints. For hotels in the city, it is difficult to beat Oakwood in every aspect if you also consider its price.
New hotel (<1year). Generally a good stay. Satisfactory.
Room - nice cool air con. Big bed. Very pleasant room…but lousy view.. construction next building.
Location - easy grab everywhere. Good if one is headed to batam centre ferry terminal. But definitely not as lively as nagoya hills area. Gotta grab eeveryhwere.
ผผู้ใช้ไม่ระบุชื่อGood location with many food options nearby. Walking distance to Nagoya Hill Mall. Breakfast is superb, delicious local tastes. The room is clean but lacks amenities, especially hand towels and hairdryers.
FFelicityfyRoom was amazing. Managed to purchase an upgrade to the Seaview Villa and it was so spacious. Comfy kingbed, Huge bathtub and a pooldeck!
Only issue with the room was the toilet starting to smell especially after flushing or at night after returning to the room.
The resort provided complimentary transport to and from the ferry terminal so that made things very convenient. Within the resort itself, we had 2 bicycles to use or you could call for the buggy to ferry you around places.
The service and staff were impeccable, they truly made you feel like very special guests! Would highly recommend the spa, the massages were heavenly.
Would definitely come again and experience more at this resort.
DDean StantonAsialink Hotel by Prasanthi is my favourite hotel in Batam. By a considerable margin.
Best described as ”luxury boutique”, the management team and staff have perfected the art of hospitality here.
I and my partner can find nothing to fault, from the quality of the welcome to the beautiful pool to the plentiful, varied and high quality breakfast buffet.
If you're looking in this price range, click book now.
