Bintan Resorts Villa was full so we got down to Banyu Biru which was supposed to be good as the resort is under the Nirwana Group. We took 3 villas with 3 bed rooms each which cost S$510/night.

I've just read the other reviews for this and thought the person who had a dirty villa was so unlucky. Excuse me too but a dvd player?! Put the tv off and play a game with them :) I have three children and can I just say the one night and two days we were here were so fantastic. They... more

The effort it takes to get on the boat to Bintan, to go through immigration, to travel across the island on a tourist bus, and then to have... more
