Sigh - - never never book last min trips without any prior research.

I will let you folks know how it went. Hopefully it's a nice surprise given my very low expectations now. Keeping fingers crossed ...

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.

No shy, why not? If not for the fact that my BB only 6 months old, I would have returned to Nirwana again this December hols! But as it is, too challenging to take the ferry liow, especially maid can get sea-sick too! Went to Sentosa Festive hotel to stay instead. Also can consider \"over-seas\" already lah, since we did cross some water mah? :rotflmao: Behaved like a tourist and went on a shopping spree buying souvenirs and T-shirts for loved ones. Also bought couple of packs of chocolates for the office just like I really went far away! Why not try it next time?
:hugs:
