an FR on my short 3-day 2-nights trip; all the locations I included the Google Map Plus Codes; you can search for it.

Travel
Used Redbus.com to book ferry ticket online for Puteri Harbour, cost SGD 51.77
I took the 8am ferry; the night before, I had to run some errands in JB, so I stayed at my friend's house, Eco Botanic (10-minute drive), to Puteri Harbour.
I woke up at 06:30 to get an excellent breakfast at Mana Cafe Puteri Harbour (CM94+9G) before I boarded the ferry..Go to the counter to get your tickets; boarding starts at 07:30.
On the ferry, they don’t provide an English Indo immigration declaration form. The boatman can help you to fill up ;-P . After that, he was done, came back and said RM5 (service charge). He even signed it for you.


- For the return leg, you must confirm your return date and print your boarding pass (IDR 50k) in cash only. The ticket is valid for 3 months. On top of that, You must pay Balai Port tax (IDR 75k) on the day of departure in cash only.


Accommodation
On this trip, I stayed at Balai View (XCVH+8Q); the location is excellent, but intermittent internet connectivity. Other than that, no other complaints.
I recommend keeping the passport and valuables at the front desk as the room has no safes.
I will consider staying at Hotel Sky (XCVH+CX) on my next trip. It is newly renovated, and I saw the Google reviews, which are pretty good. It is located 50m away from Balai View Hotel.
FX rate is slightly better in Balai; I changed IDR 11,590 rate on 20-Feb, and I changed IDR 11,300 (19 Feb, Hougang Mall). There are about 20 money changers within the hotel vicinity.
The hotels in Balai use the same power plugs as in Singapore (the type G plug); therefore, you don’t need to bring any plug converters.

Getting around
- Order PHV, the app to use is Draiv or Gojek (prices are very affordable 1.5km ~IDR 19K to 25K)

- Get a private driver, but usually the places he brings you he gets referrer fees (massage, girls villa, restaurant)

Food and Drinks
- Silver River Restorant (XCVF+CW ) and Restaurant Lai Xing (2C3F+7HM) offer a good choice for dinner, Lai Xing fish head curry is tasty.
- The Kedaikopi cafe & roastery (XCVH+CX) beside Hotel Sky is an excellent place to chill out or dinner.
- Kedai Kopi Botan (XCRP+24) is a must-go for breakfast; it is open from 04:30 till 13:00. The coffee, fried kway teow and fried bread are must-order.
- I visited Club Wico (XCWG+4W3) on my last night with the girl I booked from the villa. This is a local party joint that starts at 22:00 and closes at 04:00. They played a remix of Indo, Chinese, and English songs. 1 can of Tiger Beer is approx IDR37K (cash only)


- Accordingly to my girl, there is another happening pub at Paradise Hotel (XCVH+H2), I will visit it for my next trip.

Villa/girls- Going to the farm/villa compound, there is an entrance/toll fee of IDR10K. Once you enter, the sentry will collect from you.


Upon arrival my driver brought me to villas. I choose a girl from Villa 56, 21 years old; when she arrived, I tried one shot, and she complained of pain, didn’t want to open her legs etc..… I got pissed off and called my driver, and I said to send her back. BTW, I already paid IDR 1.4M for her. Ultimately, the mama-san agrees to count it as a short time - IDR 700K; it's a sad day and not a good start. End up dinner at Silver River Restaurant and off for a foot massage.
There are Ojek on standby around the hotels to take the girl back in the morning.cost approx IDR25K. They are meant for the girls; even the drivers or papi/mamasan can only send them back if they pay these Ojek.

On the first day after choosing the girl from Villa 56, I decided to look around, and I found another lovely gem from Villa 14 (25 years old), so I decided to book her for 21st Feb, I’m glad that I made that choice, given the disappointment on 20th Feb. I continue to look around and found some more SYT from Villa 55.
She came on time, and we went for one round, so far so good.After that, she sleeps, and I continue my work until dinner. We go out for dinner to Restaurant Lai Xing. Afterwards, we returned to the shower, dressed, and went to Wiko Club for a party. Finish at 2 am and return to the hotel for another round of bed fighting.
