A Trip To Bintan Island Indonesia


I called this blog post "Initial Journey to Bintan Tropical isle in Indonesia" due to the fact we are going to be going back. It's so amazing that although we're surviving in Singapore, we can easily go on a 50-moment ferry journey, and appear with a spectacular isle in another region. Our company is so fortunate to become on this page!

Here are some of the useful link for bintan resort website 

Becoming an expat in Singapore, it's pretty much "essential" which we travel to Bintan. Just about every expat has become there, everyone discusses it, and just before we made the decision to visit, we experienced heard mixed testimonials. Some people told us not to waste our time going there because it wasn't "that great", and others told us to check it out. I am SO happy we decided to take the advice from the people with positive reviews, because our experience was wonderful.

AJ got Fri away from from job through the initial full week of Might, therefore the three of us could commit 3 days as well as two times at Nirwana Holiday resort Resort on Bintan Isle. We select Nirwana due to the fact of all actions they have on their home (which happens to be big anyway), dining places, and furthermore, as the swimming pool searched really child-helpful. The ferry ride to Bintan in itself was a pretty cool experience, because you get to check out the coastline of Singapore, as well as all the cargo ships up-close on the water. We had taken Bintan Vacation resort Ferries (I think that's your best option) for roughly $60/individual circular-vacation (youngsters under the age of 11 are about $50 each - of course, even newborns are needed to spend the money for complete ticket fare). I really don't see the need to, although you can upgrade to Emerald Class for about $40 extra per person. Emerald School admission stands get access to the upper section of the boat in which there is exterior chairs, free of charge drinks (In my opinion it's just hot and cold beverages), concern boarding/disembarkation, and seats tasks. We appeared 40 a few minutes before departure time due to the fact we were running powering schedule (Bintan Vacation resort Ferries advises that you just appear one hour just before getting on), therefore we didn't need to wait in every outlines, and that we acquired in the motorboat without having hassle. Our car seats were actually completely comfy, beverages had been made available for very inexpensive prices, so we enjoyed a excellent view of the water. Also, I have good friends who had taken Bintan Resort Ferries and didn't upgrade to Emerald Type, and they were still in a position to venture out about the boat's outdoor patio (don't notify anyone I told you that - hehe). Although I haven't experienced Emerald Type on Bintan Holiday resort Ferries, I feel Economy Type was only good. You're only about the fishing boat for approximately one hour anyhow.


Whenever we arrived to Nirwana Resort Accommodation after having a quick 10-second car journey from your ferry terminal, we had been welcomed using a tasty chilly drink, along with the helpful staff proved us to our area. Our place is in the freshly-refurbished area of the resort, so even though there was nevertheless some design going on throughout the vacation resort, we might tell our place was brand new! We had a wonderful look at the sea and pool also. The one thing I came across a bit irritating was the reality that we used our stroller a good deal so Linna could snooze on-the-go, and then there wasn't a method to arrive at the swimming pool area without using the stairs. However, most of the time there was a hotel staff-member there to help carry the stroller up and down the stairs. The hotel's personnel also possessed a crib set up in our space for Linna, and then we didn't must take 1 from your own home!

We invested most of our time on Bintan inside the swimming pool area as well as on the beach. This seashore was incredible! Other than the stunning sunrises/collections we knowledgeable at our holiday resort in Phuket, Thailand, I truly feel this seaside was better still compared to the seaside in Phuket! This type of water at Nirwana's seashore was so clear, along with the fine sand was soft and white. There wasn't a good deal of tide, so it was very breezy and relaxing in the seashore. Linna liked the flavour in the salt h2o (nuts girl), and she got a great deal entertaining playing from the beach sand. I even had taken an opportunity one afternoon to have a massage from the seaside for just $34! Unreal. Is this actually my entire life at this time? !

Breakfast with the Coffee Shop at Nirwana is free of charge and quite darn excellent. It's an ideal spot to pick up a bite to every single each time a unique thunderstorm reaches, and you have to escape the pool. Seeing the rain from this cafe is very calming. We really enjoyed the daily breakfast buffet, as they had many different selections, although the food wasn't anything over-the-top. Linna couldn't get enough of the banana bread and fruit! On Friday evening, we possessed dinner at the awesome spot referred to as Kelong Sea food Bistro, which had been practically developed on stilts higher than the water. Our holiday resort supplied a shuttle bus for the bistro that was about a a few-minute push aside, and when we arrived, we were in awe! Which we took advantage of because of the great breeze of the sea, the restaurant has al-fresco dining. We couldn't quit taking pictures from the gorgeous landscapes, and we were actually amazed by the great sundown. Although this diner is very loved ones-pleasant, it do cause me to just a little stressed permit Linna run around, for anxiety that she would get caught in the water. Moms always fear the worst when it comes to their kids, right, even though i'm sure this has never happened? ! If this wasn't for Linna's sleeping inching closer and closer, we will have stayed at this particular restaurant and liked refreshments all night long. The meals was wonderful (I strongly recommend the Lime Chicken), along with the cocktails just topped off our amazing night there. You must check out this restaurant, simply for the ambiance and views, if you're on Bintan.

To acquire a browse around the holiday resort, we had taken a horse-carriage ride for approximately a half-hour or so. We ceased in the mini zoo to look into the crocodiles, birds and snakes along with other wildlife, which Linna located being rather amazing (Mama Saigh performed too)! There may be A great deal to perform at this particular vacation resort, such as bowling, gunshooting and archery, dune buggies,snorkeling and windsurfing, jet skiing, etc. There may be definitely anything for anyone! Our preferred routines was participating in the Elephant Display, where by Linna and AJ really started to be area of the display. How fortunate is Linna so that you can boogie correct along with big elephants, throughout a tropical island in Indonesia? Linna took one look at it and said "NO", although ! We were really close to actually getting on an elephant for a ride. We didn't desire to power her to complete anything she didn't wish to accomplish... though it might have been pretty awesome. We'll just have to return when she's a little bit more mature: )


I can't hold back until we now have buddies/loved ones drop by in Singapore, therefore we will make yet another vacation to Bintan. I would highly recommend Nirwana Resort Hotel if you're looking for a family-friendly location. Other than the Resort Resort, they have Holiday villas designed for larger households/groupings. We may check all those on our up coming journey to Bintan. Believe me, you'll not be bored stiff there, and when you get house, you'll wish to can come right back. We miss it previously!
