Saga Village Hotel

"Nice view and quiet place"

The Spa Villa Bintan

Banyu Biru Villa

"Good location for a beach front holiday. Kids could play at the beach and swimming pools for the entire day. Thank you for the hospitality (from most of the staff)! The only issue is that the General Manager or someone from senior management (Mr R - didn't catch his full name) who appeared on the last day should have better communication with the staff at reception - what the reception informed us on the first day when we double checked on some additional charges (staff said no charge) is totally different from what he insisted on the last day of our stay (he said got additional charge)."

The Kelong Trikora Resort, Bintan Island

"We enjoyed every minute of our stay as well did our kids of 7 and 10 years old. Spacious rooms, outdoor bathroom; all very clean. Staff is superfriendly. Kitchen staff prepares delicious meals; we had Ikan Kari (pomfret fish) as well as ayam goreng bawang and did not regret it. Beautiful swimming pool with onobstructed views of the ocean. Highly recommended!"

Trikora Beach Club and Resort

"Spent 4 days at this resort on a family getaway, and it was a wonderful place to unwind and disconnect from the hustle-bustle. We loved the rustic feel of the bedrooms and dining pavilions - the naturalistic vibes really made us feel like we were getting AWAY away. Huge props to the staff for the meticulous care they take of the grounds! Be warned though, being surrounded by trees and sand means you ARE gonna encounter flies, mosquitoes and lizards, so sheltered city folks beware! The rooms are more than adequately comfortable, but not pampering-level luxurious. The food was always tasty (we highly recommend the fried beehoon and nasi goreng! And what’s not to love about a cheeky Irish coffee spiked with the local tipple, Cap Tikus?) And when we needed a break from the spa/beachside mini pools, we went snorkelling at the house reef, though they also have equipment for SUP, kayaking and other water sports. One consideration though, there isn’t a great deal here to occupy kids - it’s primarily an adults’ kind of resort, so we’d recommend looking elsewhere if family-/kid-friendly activities are a priority. The resort’s also quite a distance from any major urban center, so if your ideal vacay is shopping or cafes, this isn’t the place for you. But if you’re a busy working adult looking to just CHILL? This is the place. The resort’s also trying to get involved in both conservation and social projects, so throw in a little CSR while you’re at it Bottom line? This place is different from the other overly-commercialised, touristy establishments that you’ll find on Bintan - BUT IT ISN’T FOR EVERYONE. Recommended if you like: chillaxing, watersports, nature, disconnecting from the world, good food, something different Not recommended for: people who are scared of insects, families with children, urban folks, shopaholics, those who need their creature comforts"
