Hi Hi

I have booked Harris Waterfront Resort but i realised only Sindo Ferry is with 1-2 timings available. i plan to take to Batam Centre Ferry Terminal (assuming it is the next nearest ferry terminal to Harris Waterfront) and then take a cab to Harris Waterfront Resort - do you know how much it will cost? any reliable taxi to recommend and/or is there a place i can book the taxi from?

I plan to take an early ferry to Batam Centre Ferry Terminal and then drop my luggage at the hotel before i take a cab to Batam City Square (BCS) for my lunch - any recommendation for the lunch and the estimated taxi fare?

For seafood - you recommend A2 - do you have the address? thanks

Email Harris resort for a shuttle to pick you up from ferry terminal. Every terminal has taxis but pretty much all is similar price. Check if resort has shuttle going to bcs mall and return. A2 is just beside bcs mall.

Will be @ Harris Batam Waterfront this wkend.
We only know Nagoya Hill mall which is rather far and $$$ if have to take a taxi (worse if there are 15 of us).
Any other options for shopping and dinner near Harris?
