Through my quest to search for a tranquil 2D1N getaway near Singapore i came across this petite boutique resort spa & restuarant well hidden in a remote part of Batam. Tempat Senang also happens to be awarded the Certificate of Excellence 2013 amongst all the hotels in Batam by Tripadvisor.
Extremely happy that it was far away from the bustling crowds at the Batam Centre, we hopped onto the ferry to Sekupang Terminal where there were hardly any tourists since the area consists of mostly shipyards. The area also has full of greenery and minimum traffic which i love. Through a rural untarred road, the taxi climbed up a little hill where Tempat Senang is located.
It was almost love at first sight.
Approaching the pond, the kois got excited at the possibility of feeds!

We were greeted by a warm welcome at the reception area..
The lush Balinese style garden draws us in...

The compound was quiet and private during our mid week retreat.
Every corner of the compact compound is tastefully decorated with rustic Balinese decor.
There are 2 pools in the resort and what i really like about the resort is the salt pool.
We spent the entire day lounging in the pool with the jacuzzi and the best part about it was that the salt content revived my skin and hair.
It's going to be hard getting into chlorinated pools the next time after being pampered by this one!
Our lucky day, we had the pool all to ourselves!
