Overview of HARRIS Resort Waterfront Batam
Long before it carried the HARRIS name, this waterfront property in Sekupang was known as Quality Resort. Traveloka's listing records that it was built in 2000 and last renovated in 2018, so the resort that guests check into today is a refreshed version of a property with more than two decades on Batam's western shoreline. Its address is K.H. Ahmad Dahlan No. 1, Sekupang, in the Riau Islands province of Indonesia, and it sits within Sekupang, one of the quieter areas of Batam compared with the busy Nagoya shopping district.
HARRIS Resort Waterfront Batam is a 4-star resort with 250 rooms spread across five floors, which gives it the scale of a full leisure property rather than a small guesthouse. Rather than being a city hotel that happens to have a pool, it is set up as a resort in the full sense: the listing includes an outdoor pool, a children's pool, a kids club, a poolside bar, massage services and a long list of sports and water activities, from canoeing and pedal boating to jet ski, banana boat rides and beach volleyball. Five restaurants are recorded on the property, so dining does not have to mean leaving the grounds.
For travellers coming over from Singapore, that combination is the main draw. A short island break can be spent almost entirely on site, with the family occupied by the kids club and water sports while adults unwind by the pool. At the same time, the resort works as a base for business groups, with conference rooms, meeting facilities and banquet space listed alongside the leisure amenities.
Room Types at HARRIS Resort Waterfront Batam
Traveloka lists HARRIS Resort Waterfront Batam as offering private rooms, meaning each booking gives you a room of your own. The room line-up and exact categories available on any given date are shown in the booking widget on this page, and they can change with the season, so it is worth opening the room list for your dates before deciding. What the listing does confirm is the following set of room arrangements and in-room features.
Standard Private Rooms
The core of the resort's 250-room inventory is made up of private rooms with air conditioning. The property's in-room facilities list covers a TV with cable channels, a desk, a hairdryer, an in-room safe and a shower. Room voltage is listed at 220V, which is useful to know if you are bringing chargers or appliances from Singapore; a travel adaptor may be needed depending on your plugs. Because features can differ between categories, check the specific room description at booking for bed type, size and view.
Family Rooms
Family rooms are listed among the resort's facilities, which suits the property's family-focused leisure offer. These are a sensible starting point for parents travelling with children who would rather stay together in one larger space. Capacity and bed configuration vary by category, so confirm the maximum occupancy shown on the room card before you book.
Connecting Rooms
Connecting rooms are also available, according to the listing. For larger families or groups of friends, two connecting rooms can offer more privacy than a single family room while still keeping everyone close. Connecting arrangements are usually subject to availability on arrival, so it is a good idea to add a request in your booking notes and confirm with the front desk.
Accessible Options
The resort's accessibility facilities include an accessible bathroom, a roll-in shower, an accessible path of travel and wheelchair access. Guests who need these features should contact the property in advance to confirm that an accessible room is allocated for their stay.
Facilities and Amenities
HARRIS Resort Waterfront Batam comes with a long facility list, and much of it is geared towards keeping guests active. Here is what the Traveloka listing records, grouped by theme.
- Pools and relaxation: an outdoor pool, a separate children's pool, a poolside bar and massage services.
- Sports and recreation: archery, badminton, basketball, beach volleyball, billiards, table tennis and a game room.
- Water activities: canoeing, pedal boating, jet ski, banana boat rides and other water sports.
- Families: a kids club and entertainment for children.
- Business and events: conference rooms, meeting facilities, a projector and banquet facilities.
- Connectivity: free WiFi, WiFi in public areas and LAN internet.
- Practical services: a 24-hour receptionist, 24-hour security, a bellhop, laundry service, luggage storage, safety deposit boxes and an elevator.
- Parking: on-site parking, listed as free of charge.
- Other: a designated smoking area and an ATM or banking service nearby.
The range of water activities is a key part of the resort's appeal. Availability of specific activities can depend on weather and sea conditions, and some may be charged separately, so ask the front desk on arrival which ones are running during your stay. For corporate groups, the combination of meeting rooms and banquet space with on-site recreation makes it practical to run a working session in the morning and a team activity in the afternoon without moving venues.
Location and Getting There
The resort is located in Sekupang on the western side of Batam, at K.H. Ahmad Dahlan No. 1. Sekupang is a calmer, more residential part of the island than Nagoya or Batam Centre, which suits guests looking for a quiet waterfront stay rather than a shopping-district base. If you plan to spend time in Batam's malls and markets, the resort's shopping centre shuttle is the easiest way to get there and back.
Transport services listed for HARRIS Resort Waterfront Batam include:
- Airport transfer: available for a surcharge, connecting the resort with Batam's airport.
- Ferry terminal shuttle: available for a surcharge, which is convenient for guests arriving from Singapore by ferry. Confirm which terminal the shuttle serves when you arrange it.
- Shopping centre shuttle: listed among the resort's transport services.
- Parking: free on-site parking for guests who rent a car or arrive by private transport.
Most visitors from Singapore cross by ferry, but if you are combining Batam with a wider Indonesian trip, you can book flights to Batam on Traveloka and arrange the resort's airport transfer for the final leg. It is worth booking transfers ahead through the property, particularly on weekends and public holidays when ferry arrivals are busiest.
Dining at HARRIS Resort Waterfront Batam
With five restaurants recorded on the property, HARRIS Resort Waterfront Batam gives guests more on-site dining choice than many resorts of its size. The listing confirms breakfast, à la carte lunch and à la carte dinner, as well as vegetarian meals, so travellers with dietary preferences have options without leaving the resort. Room service is listed as available 24 hours, which is handy for late ferry arrivals or families with young children on different schedules.
The poolside bar is the natural spot for a drink in the afternoon between swims, and it keeps parents close to the children's pool. Breakfast may be charged separately depending on the rate you choose, so check whether your rate includes it; adding it at booking is usually simpler than paying on the day.
For meals outside the resort, the shopping centre shuttle makes it easy to reach Batam's busier districts, where you will find a wider choice of restaurants and food courts. You can also browse things to do in Batam on Traveloka if you want to pair a meal out with a tour or attraction during your stay.
Why Stay at HARRIS Resort Waterfront Batam
Choosing HARRIS Resort Waterfront Batam makes most sense if you want your resort to be the destination rather than just a place to sleep. Here are the strongest reasons to consider it:
- Activity-rich grounds: from archery and badminton to jet ski and canoeing, the listing covers a long menu of recreation for all ages.
- Built for families: a kids club, children's pool, family rooms and connecting rooms make it straightforward to travel with children.
- Plenty of dining: five restaurants plus 24-hour room service and a poolside bar.
- Established property, refreshed: built in 2000 as Quality Resort and last renovated in 2018, now under the HARRIS brand.
- Event-ready: conference rooms, meeting facilities and banquet space for corporate retreats or celebrations.
- Practical extras: free WiFi, free parking, 24-hour reception and security, and shuttles to the ferry terminal, the airport and shopping centres.
The trade-off is location: Sekupang is quieter and further from Nagoya's nightlife and shopping than city hotels. If you would rather be in the centre of things, compare other hotels in Batam on Traveloka before you decide.
Tips for Booking HARRIS Resort Waterfront Batam on Traveloka
- Check in from 15:00, check out by 12:00. Plan your ferry times around these hours, and use the resort's luggage storage if you arrive early or leave late.
- Look at what each rate includes. Breakfast may be charged separately, so compare room-only and breakfast-inclusive rates side by side.
- Arrange transfers in advance. Airport transfers and the ferry terminal shuttle carry a surcharge; book them with the property ahead of arrival so a driver is ready when you land.
- Request connecting rooms early. If you are travelling as a group, add the request at booking and confirm with the front desk, as connecting rooms depend on availability.
- Plan activities around the weather. Water sports such as jet ski and banana boat rides depend on sea conditions, so ask at reception about the day's schedule.
- Book weekends early. Batam is a popular short-break destination from Singapore, and weekend and school-holiday dates tend to fill first.
- Check accessibility needs. If you require an accessible bathroom or roll-in shower, contact the property after booking to confirm the room allocation.
Booking through Traveloka lets you compare room types, read guest reviews and manage your reservation in one place. When you are ready to plan the rest of your getaway, start from the Traveloka homepage.
