        Awright! Onz. It's been 5 years since we last went to Bintan. How much did it cost you?

          Awright! Onz. It's been 5 years since we last went to Bintan. How much did it cost you?[/quote]Yes, Bintan is a great quick getaway for Singaporean. Stayed in Nirwana Gardens before in Banyu Biru. I love the spaciousness of the resort. It allows the visitors to use facilities from other resort as well. I like the huge swimming pools near Nirwana & there's a smaller pool with a slide in the Banyu Biru area.

          As for the sea, I prefer the Banyan Tree ones.

          Here's the website for the rate: http://www.nirwanagardens.com

          However, Buds might get a better deal from the travel agent.

            Yup. Actually, Batam too!

            Seafood, clothing, groceries
            and many other items are
            way cheaper... Bintan's only
            off-factor is the currency
            used is still in Sing. šŸ˜› The
            food and spas are as pricey
            here except the ambience is
            the main attraction.

            Chief, we paid SGD $604
            for 2 adult and 2 children
            package. Short getaways
            via ferry is cheapest by
            Holiday Bagus. I recce all
            liao, that's why... šŸ˜‰
            Kiasu mah. :roll:

            Another attraction for us
            are places with KIDS CLUB.
            We also pack lighter with a
            presence of a kids' club, cos
            the kids have a lotta fun too
            rather than just follow mummy
            and daddy go shopping during
            the stay. They do not have to
            pack their stationery, craft stuff
            or games as they're very occupied
            with the activities at the kids club..

            Now with Nirwana Resort Centre,
            where they have archery, elephant
            and pony rides, trampoline play, air
            rifle range, basketball, badminton
            court, a soon-to-be gymnasium,
            bowling centre, spa and a spanking
            new food court... it's a good place to
            have a chill with the whole family or
            just a short romantic getaway for 2.

            Activities @ http://www.nirwanagardens.com/index.php/view_c/view_index/activities_nrc.php

            We've also stayed at Bintan Lagoon Resort & http://www.nirwanagardens.com/index.php/view_c/view_index/ms_index.php
            Mayang Sari was ultra peaceful, calming, and boasts an extremely
            beautiful sea view. Rooms are huge, unique decor, 4-poster bed,
            bathtub, and a balcony area to enjoy the breeze... nice rustic feel.

            http://web.bintanlagoon.com/resort.shtmlwas so-so for us. But we find that the kids' club is bigger!
            However, our girls were both a wee bit young then to enjoy any of the
            features of the kids' club there. šŸ˜› We skipped the spa cos the kids were
            too young to be babysat had we wanted to do a session, but we sure did
            enjoy a memorable, relaxing full body massage in-room tho... That lady
            had magic hands. We slept throughout the night and almost missed
            breakfast. :lol:

            This is how http://web.bintanlagoon.com/accommodation.shtml are after the initial
            stages of refurbishments. Waaaayy nicer than when we last visited.

            Our last Bintan trip was about 3 or 4 years ago..

            :celebrate:

                Like ds school friend invited us to stay in Angsana Bintan FOC (a room to ourself) so that their only daughter has friends to play with. šŸ˜‰

                Book hotels using company's corporate rate which can be very attractive. Free city tour when I meet up overseas colleague/relatives/ friends if I happen to tour to their country of residence.

                However, it is nice of Buds to share the name of the travel agent. As a kiasu parents, we must always keep our options open & pick the best choice.
