This is the 4th time we are visiting Bintan but yet the first time with an itinerary that covers some of the more popular tours like the Elephant Ride and Mangrove Tour. It’s also the first time we stayed at the Angsana Bintan, the service was excellent. We had a personal staff to help us with the check-in and check-out, she was also there to confirm all the car rides planned for our tours on the second day. Basically, we had nothing to fuss about and just need to be on time to board our rides for the tours and stuff.
We had one of the best room, a 1-Bedroom Suite that can comfortably accommodate 2 adults and 1 child. We added a bed to cater to the Kuan family.
There was also a nice welcome gift for the girls. So sweet!
One thing different about Bintan from our own Sentosa is the layback feel across the island. Everything goes on a slow motion, no one is rushing and everyone’s agenda is just to relax and not rushing to visit certain attractions or do shopping. With that in mind, the view from our hotel room simply looks stunning.
The road that leads out from the hotel. A picture of serenity and quiet.
You can choose to walk around the vicinity or ride a bicycle available for booking with the hotel reception.
Breakfast at Angsana Bintan.
No island holiday is complete without the pool and beach experience.
Talk a quiet stroll along the beach for the couples.
The view from the pool on the hotel building.
In Bintan the only place to buy your daily needs or some souvenirs will be at the Pasar Oleh Oleh.
If you are looking for massage and the hotel rates are too expensive for you, then I will recommend to you the few Spa & Massage shops in Pasar Oleh Oleh.
My personal recommendation is Bintan Beauty, it may not look as high class as the other shops but I guarantee you the quality of service is good and the price is very affordable.
Polo Ralph Lauren factory outlet. Very popular with tourists.
Jayne up to her cheekiness yet again.
Night view of Pasar Oleh Oleh.
Helo Helo Restaurant, the fried chicken is awesome!
A corner for some drinks and live music.
On the 2nd day, the plan was for Mangrove Tour and Elephant Ride.
I will cover more on the tours in my next post, do look out for it.
