Bintan Resorts

After watching the rennovation from the golfcourse a few times, now we had the opportunity to stay at the new Movenpick resort Bintan in their soft-launch period. Although they still need to do some work, we absolutely enjoyed our stay in combination with the golfcourse. The staff is super friendly and helpfull. The food in the restaurant is very good, we tried the local food. Probably they will increase the number of dishes when fully opened. Breakfast very good: mix of buffet and a la cart. Local and international. Fresh juices. Little problems , part of opening a new hotel,  were tackled immediately.  Overall a great golf / relax experience. We will come back soon. Also need to try the Japanese restaurant.

Excellent stay at the Holiday Inn Resort Bintan. Free shuttle from the ferry terminal and check in was smooth and fuss free. Late checkout provided to match departure ferry timing. Resort still looks relatively new. The mangrove house for kids was a plus point in the hotel. Room was spacious and clean - would be great if there were in room slippers for toddlers too. Buffet Breakfast had a delectable spread and there was ample sitting. Fish feeding pond was a nice touch to keep the kids occupied. Free hourly shuttle to Plaza Lagoi was welcomed - would be even better if it runs more frequently. Short stroll to the private beach that is shared with Hotel Indigo. Swimming pools were spacious but could get crowded during peak periods. Room service were very generous in terms of portion size and worth the wait. Overall an excellent stay at the Holiday Inn Resort for a family weekend getaway.

Returning to Bintan Island after more than two decades, I never expected such a wonderful experience. The hotel is brand new, located right next to the recently opened Holiday Inn. Guests have full access to the facilities of both hotels, including the Holiday Inn's Kids' Club – which was incredibly convenient for us, allowing us to confidently leave our children with the staff for a few hours. The hotel boasts its own private beach, offering a quiet and relaxing environment. Honestly, there's no need to fly all the way to Bali; Bintan Island offers a perfect short getaway. While the island's town doesn't have much to explore, we thoroughly enjoyed our time at the hotel. The room design was very tasteful and spacious, complete with a sea view. There was absolutely no noise pollution. All the staff were incredibly friendly; no matter where you went, their smiles and greetings made you feel warmly welcomed. Overall, this stay far exceeded our expectations, and I highly recommend it to families or couples looking for a relaxing getaway.

The location is strategic - you can enjoy the sea view from the hotel lobby. The staffs are well trained, very helpful and polite. I lost my swimming goggles and the reception staff was able to confirm the lost item with housekeeping swiftly and returned it to me. The only downside was breakfast buffet is not to my taste. I guess that's due to personal preference. Coffee was good.

Pros: Great location which just 5 min from Sebong terminal and hotel provided complimentary shuttle service to hotel. Staff is friendly and helpful. All the queries and request was contact through WhatsApp which is convenient and responsive (maybe not the peak season). We have a lot of fun at Treasure Bay and some free activities provided. We enjoyed 20% discount on the activities as the guest of Anmon. The pool is sea salt water and it is pretty clean as well. The room is pretty interesting and it is a great experience to stay inside a tent! Cons: There is moldy smell in the room. Because it is a tent, hence soundproof is poor as we can hear the music from hotel lobby (but it does not affect our sleep LoL we still had a good slept). Should clean up the sky window in the room.

The resort arranged free shuttle for pick up from Bintan Ferry Terminal for a nearly 80 minutes drive with bottled waters and cookies served. Quite thoughtful! We stayed at two Garden terrace inter-connected rooms with a family of four. The rooms were quite spacious and well maintained. The resort provides 2 bicycles per room for mobility within the resort, which is a well landscaped expanse. Thoroughly enjoyed our bicycle rides. We also used the buggy rides for getting around the resort, which was quicker and more easier. The staff were courteous and warm. Few to name are 1. Kiki from the Earth Basket who engaged enthusiastically with us to show us around the fish ponds, rabbits and the various plants. 2. Kay and Ganjar from the The Dining Room (main restaurant which serves diverse cuisine) are warm and welcoming. 3. Intan from Rika Rika (Indonesian cuisine) is full of smiles and agile to serve customised order. Weather was just perfect and overall we had a pleasant, refreshing stay. Few areas the resort should focus on - the staff at The Dining Room were understaffed and found to be tired/ sweating. We found the Food variety and quality at the Christmas Eve Dinner disappointing for the price charged. The Indonesian cuisine at Rica Rica was more tastier though less in variety. We enjoyed the Stargazing, leisurely walks at the beach, bicycling, though we missed the water sports due to monsoons. Overall, we do plan to visit this resort sometime again for sure.

Was a relaxing and great stay overall! There are convenience stores and some F&B options just nearby as well. There are some ants and bugs in the open areas (obviously) as well but that didn’t bother us! Service was great as the staffs were friendly and super responsive.

Try to visit Cassia- one hour ferry travel from Singapore and 15 minutes travel from the ferry port which you can hear the sea waves and make lifetime memories. #cassiabeach #goodcustomerservice #goodfood #recommended

A nice resort that is not too far from ferry terminal and provide complimentary transfer. While facilities are good but in-house charges are quite high, even more than Singapore. The hotel spa is average despite almost double price else where in Indonesia. The free internet is just pathetic and they force you to buy package if not on good roaming plan.

Hotel was clean and located in the Lagoi resort area which is where we wanted to be, however the hotel seems old, the gym was a sad excuse with just dumbbells, order food at the rooftop cafe, quiet flavourless, service was good despite the hotel being empty but was still asked to check in at 3pm or pay IDR200k luckily this was not much of an issue as we had activities arranged, that said the room was comfortable enough however the AC stopped working the last night I was there and didn’t come on again causing me to lose sleep.
