The kids' area features a sturdy custom bunk bed adorned with colorful bedding, accompanied by miniature rocking ponies, a dedicated play table filled with a colorful ball-pit basket, and custom pink unicorn bathrobes hanging in the closet. Every detail, down to the soft fluffy rug and themed throw pillows, creates an enchanting atmosphere where children can play safely for hours.

The Outer Space Blast-Off Room

If your little ones look up at the night sky and dream of becoming astronauts, the Outer Space theme is guaranteed to impress. The room is wrapped in deep midnight-blue wallpapers depicting rockets, distant planets, friendly alien spaceships, and constellations.

Complete with a rocket-ship growth chart on the wall, this room features space-themed bunk beds, cozy bean bags, and interactive indoor play slides. It turns bedtime into an exciting cosmic launch sequence, making it one of the most sought-after room choices for parents looking to elevate their family trip.

The Racing Car Championship Room

Fuel the excitement of your little racers with the high-octane Racing Car theme. Designed for high energy and boundless fun, this room features a checkerboard-patterned floor mats, grand-stand murals, and race car graphics running along the walls.

The play corner includes a custom kid-sized driving desk, traffic sign decorations overhead, and even a ride-on toy car for toddlers to steer around their play area. The bedding features dynamic race tracks and sports cars, ensuring your children fall asleep dreaming of the winner’s circle.

The Jungle Safari Adventure Room

Bring the untamed beauty of nature indoors with the Thematic Jungle Room. Perfect for young explorers, this room uses lush green accents, climbing vines draping from the ceiling, and tall giraffe murals to simulate a wildlife safari adventure.

The spacious layout seamlessly integrates a secure bunk bed nestled into a tropical play corner, giving children their own private clubhouse while parents enjoy the plush comfort of the primary king-size bed just a few steps away.

The Cozy Kids Tent Setup

For families who prefer a more classic touch, select family rooms offer a Kids Tent setup right next to the grand balcony windows. A vibrant dome tent is pitched directly on a soft carpet, complete with comfortable cushions and stuffed toys. This gives children the exciting feel of an outdoor camping holiday while maintaining the air-conditioned luxury and safety of a premium resort room.

Unrivaled Resort Activities for All Ages

A memorable Batam family resort experience requires excellent entertainment outside the bedroom. HARRIS Resort Waterfront Batam delivers an extensive lineup of recreational activities designed to keep everyone active and engaged throughout their stay.
