Bintan Agro Beach Resort experience

This is my 2nd time staying at this resort, the first was like in 2007... 0.0 (can't really remember much from the first time though)

Me, my mom, my sis and my grandma (maternal) took a ferry (WaveMaster) from Tanah Merah ferry terminal to Bintan. the seats in the ferry was spacious enough and was quite comfortable :)

the lobby has NO air-condition so it gets pretty hot during the day. it is also one of the only places in the resort where there is free wifi. (the other is at the restaurant by the pool) if you do want to use wifi in the rooms, you have to pay:(







        

there are TWO swimming pools in the resort. the one right next to the lobby is very small and dirty. i think they don't bother cleaning it since no one uses that pool. the other is behind Asiana Beach Bistro (looking out into the ocean) and is much bigger. 
Asiana Beach Bistro is also the only restaurant in the resort   that serves breakfast buffet.

lunch on the first day after we arrived (at Asiana Beach Bistro)

we were supposed to get the junior suite, but since it wasn't ready yet, the receptionist gave us a choice of having the family room(which i had stayed in in 2007). in the end we got the Blue Ocean suite which was actually out in the ocean :)

remember to take note of the low tide and high tide timings so that you can plan your trip properly since most activities there are water sports.

in low tide

the room is quite big and has a door leading to the small balcony at the top right of the photo. where my grandma is facing

part of the mini 'zoo'

poor monkey :(

they have a mini 'zoo' in the resort, which consists of rabbits, a monkey, a squirrel, several birds (which includes a mynah that is commonly seen in Singapore, poor thing) and a rooster that is not caged up.

           


   

               


cages were small but animals looked healthy :)

   

ferry ride home

   

  

we had dinner on both days at the Sun Moon Restaurant. really liked the food there!

i actually WOULD NOT recommend coming to this resort as the water activities are really expensive and depends mostly on the tides. the food and rooms are quite nice.

if you like to just swim and enjoy the beach then you might want to try this resort? however, if you are not willing to spend a lot of money on the water sports but still want to do other activities other than swimming, you should look for another resort.
