Travel: Indonesia - Batam/Bintan

[ptb7476]

Angelight:

Anyone stay at Angsana Bintan before? Is it nice?

i have stayed there a couple of times. unless you are comparing with banyan tree else this is not bad. service wise not bad and given that it is tied up with banyan tree you can ask them to arrange transport for you to go banyan for dinning or spa and charge to your room.

Based on tripadvisor reviews, Bintan Lagoon is super expensive and staff are not service-minded.

I read the reviews, seemed like most of the travellers were disappointed with their Bintan trips. Be it Bintan Lagoon or Nirwana.

I was at Bintan Lagoon a few weeks back. We found the waitress, housekeeping, etc to be reasonable ok. Only the reception's service could have been better.

Food was not to our taste and expensive.

Nevertheless, we enjoyed our stay.
