Halbtages-Spa-Tour von Singapur nach Batam mit Fähre und Mittagessen

Well after a fabulous spa trip to Indonesia coming back into Singapore was an horrible experience. Going back through Singapore immigration and customs was horrible. The Singapore custom officials were rude and extremely disrespectful and unfriendly. It was like somebody flipped a switch in the personalities of the customs officials. After a 70 minute ferry ride back into Indonesia, Singapore immigration and customs officials demanded that I fill out another customs form when no one else had to do it. Really? So much for being an American in Singapore. I would have expected to do one when I first enter a country which I did but not when I left on a ferry ride from Singapore to Indonesia. By the way, Indonesia customs officials did not require one. They just scanned my thumb print and granted me admission into their country. My passport and my ferry ticket was all that was required. Going back through Singapore immigration and customs was like I got hit with someone anti-African American crack pipe or like I received an extremely unwelcoming greeting upon reentry into Singapore. I dont know what Americans are perceived to be doing while in Batam but i did not do that - and I darn well did not deserve the disrespectful treatment that I received upon reentry into Singapore. I felt so singled out and the victim of American racism. If an immigration and customs form was needed then one should have been distributed on the ferry so all of the passengers could have filled one out, but to only ask me was extremely uncomfortable Coming into the country initially was such a pleasant and wonderful experience that this time it caught me off guard. After a great and wonderful spa day I felt so offended and I welcomed coming back into Singapore, a country I had left only hours earlier.

great day - highly recommened

I would highly recommend this spa package with Viator. Enjoyed the ferry ride from Singapore to Batam, no problem with the transfer to Spa Central. Magnificent hour long aromatherapy massage, then an hour long facial. Some quite nice lunch, although I found the dessert of a combination of deep fried banana, chocolate and grated cheese a bit quirky. Then a hair treatment and head and neck massage for another hour. Little treats like ginger tea and then cucumber and lemon juice were lovely along the way. Everything very easy to get back to Singapore. Nice cruise back into the harbour as the sun was setting. Brilliant day, would highly recommend.
