Which is the reason why i try to say a regular Batam traveler shouldnt be needing it as
they works about the same as an usb Mobile wifi router (since you asked, how good are they),hehehe...
The same shop that sells sim cards on the right hand side after you step out of Harbour Bay arrival hall sells a usb Mobile wifi router at 500k rupiah, a sim card for 50k rupiah for one day usage and Telkomsel sim card that has mainly Data Only which last about a month at 100k rupiah.
S$8.50 is almost 90k rupiah. So its more like a deal for unsuspecting new Batam visitors,hehehe...

Hmm...perhaps it could also be due to some recent case of some girl/s getting "raped" inside a particular hotel room by a few male guests from a certain country many Indonesian girls in Batam i knew didnt like to serve (from reliable source) ? And it didnt end well for the female victim,thanks to Batam's law enforcer...(words spread far around the Batam hotel industry)
One guest from the case was registered, the others involved wasnt.
(i am not saying the case happens in Montigo Resort here)
So i guess they have that new rule for safety reason/s.

I guess thats how i got my Gold member card in Formosa,hehehe...highest of its class when i stayed there regularly. I like the late check out idea, but almost every hotel i visit allows late check out, hence it doesnt make much difference.
I test out many hotels in terms of service orientation and efficiency, Montigo is one of the above average ones. Most who visit Montigo goes for their seaview ambiance, its room size and their in-room swimming pool.
