Bintan (1st - 3rd April 2011)

Photo Credits to Ng HC :)

The girls and I decided to do a short trip to Bintan to recharge ourselves. It was my first time to Bintan Resort and I absolutely fell in love with the place. I love the gentle sea breeze and how relaxed it made us all feel! We took the ferry from Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal earlyFriday morning and reached Bintan Island in less than an hour! To think that we are really that close to a great getaway! It cost about $250 person for 3D2N, inclusive of 2nights accomodation, 2 daily buffet breakfasts, ferry ride tw0-way and transfers to the resort two-way.


This pic was taken in the first room we were given - it was pretty small, not facing the beach and so we enquired about the costs of upgrading to a suite....




Well, for $300 top-up (for 2 nights), we managed to get a wonderful cosy suite with everything a girl could ask for :) You could say we were pretty excited and happy with the new room!




We didn't swim in the beach but it was gorgeous all the same, with its white sand and the waves rushing to shore.




That's me with a rather large plate of nasi lemak. The whole meal plus drink cost me $11. Everything in Bintan is in Sing Dollar. Pretty ex, I'd say. This was the cafeteria at the Entertainment Centre where they also have a bowling alley, karoke room, gym and some shops.




After 3 days and 2 nights of bliss, it was all sad faces around as it was time to say goodbye to Bintan Island :) I will be back!!!
