Just based on the map, it seems like Harmoni is nearer to the big mall and somewhat nearer to the area with all the spas (like HK, G1). Planet Holiday looks like it's slightly further from those but nearer to the waterfront. How's getting around Batam and does the extra distance make much difference practically?

Harmoni Suites is opposite Nagoya Hill Mall, within walking distance. However getting Grab Car or GoCar is easy in Batam and inexpensive, mostly between RP15000 to RP20000. If you want to go to area around Lucky Plaza or Formosa Hotel, you can even walk from Harmoni Suites, just 5 minutes walk away. Planet Holiday has a small food court behind the lobby, easy to buy cigarette, beer etc. F1 Cub (disco) also located here.
