Travel: Indonesia - Batam/Bintan

[bezzlay]

Hi,


I am planning on a Bintan trip this June holiday. May I know if there is any good website for hotel and ferry tickets booking? Most of the websites only have hotel booking. There are 2A3C and I am planning to stay at Nirwana resort.

if you are going to the Bintan Resorts area, there is only 1 ferry operator, and you can buy ferry tickets on their website

Hi, May I know if parents are allowed to pop by at the kids club during their activity time? Also, are there other activities for the kids? I am planning for a 3D/2N trip. I wonder if it will be sufficient.

Our family just got back from Bintan.


Was disappointed with the poor reception service and expensive meals @Bintan Lagoon Resort.

A meal at Kopi O cost S$50/pax. I would advise you to book a van and have your meals at Oleh Oleh or hawker centre (food taste so much better).
Ball bought at Bintan Lagoon Resort cost $10 wherelse it cost $2 at Oleh Oleh.

A Deluxe seafacing room comes with additional day bed which can accommodate 2-3 adults. Hence, don’t need to request for additional bed and go w/o their free breakfast.

Lastly, always check your bills and make sure it tally with receipts that you signed off. They tried to bump us off with additional bills which don’t exist at all.

I am planning to go Nirwana Resorts and would like to find out what are the activities available. Thank you.

I read about the bintan dolphin lodge, it looks like a great place for kids too. Has anyone been there? Kindly share your experience.

Just want to ask those who frequent Bintan… do we need to bring an international adapter to charge our mobile phones etc? Will be staying at the Nirwana Resort Hotel this week. Thanks

it is much easier to enjoy Bintan with local transport… if you need more info let me know… far cheaper than the ones connected to resorts… can bring you go eat local kelong, but be warned… the flavours will be different!
