Just a personal perspective.

Not so personal. I have the same feeling.

Hehehe...its like my 1st school in Batam. Its more like a confident training ground when I 1st started Batam. Once I am used to Batam's culture from thereon, i became almost addicted with Formosa and set it like a command center (HQ).

With nearly everything a cheongster need all under one roof within Formosa Hotel (radius of 5 mins walk), how could anyone even fail during their 1st and 2nd trip in Batam. Some of the failure I notice so far over the last 3 year plus in here (and other sites) were those who has held high self-esteem and have unrealistically high expectation.

Batam spa is modifiable. Batam spa is way quieter. Batam spa can be considered cheaper too. But Batam spa has got no free meal and the meals in their menu can cost quite a bit.

If I like many people sharing the same pool with me,i would also choose JB spa (its bigger than most Batam spa). But I prefer to go at the right time to have the smaller hot pool in Batam spa all for myself,hehehe...not forgetting the O2 room.

Wait till you see all the location mapping going into the list. And then who knows, I may even add all the FRs from here into it,hehehe...

Just a thought anyway.

Agreed, the most suitable style/way for oneself will always be the best.
