Stayed as part of a large group whih had booked out the island for a party. It was our first time but many of the other guests ewre repeat visitors; and we could quickly see why. The island is about a 55mins ferry, 50min drive, then 20min boat trip from Singapore; so allowing for time at terminals and customs etc.... More

Just returned from a great couple of days. I cannot understand any of the negative comments on this site towards Nikoi. The location is superb. Transfer to and from the Island was top class for the region. The accomodation for this type of resort is of the highest quality. The water sport equipment was more than satifactory and the supervision... More

I just wanted to quickly say that I would highly highly recommend Nikoi for a honeymoon. It is the most idyllic island and a true chance to get away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Some people have whined about the lack of electrical appliances and obviously missed the fact this is what makes nikoi so special. The... More

Thanks for your very kind review. Great to read that you enjoyed the simplicity of island life on Nikoi and that you had a great honeymoon. It is also very pleasing to read that the quality of our food was beyond your expectations and that staff were helpful. We hopefully look forward to welcoming you back some day. Thanks again. More

We visited Nikoi at the end of an 11 week trip - we wanted a place to rest up before our journey home and to reflect on the trip. This we found. The journey to Nikoi was easy and the passage through indonesian immigration remarkably easy, but do make sure you have $18 (Singapore) each. The taxi trip across Bintan... More

Thank you very much for your very kind words. Great to hear you enjoyed your stay so much. We do try and ensure that couples and families are not in houses next to each other but it is not always logistically possible and some guests do not always tell us that they are traveling with infants. Unfortunately there is not... More

We stayed at Nikoi for 3 nights last August and absolutely fell in love with the island and the whole experience. We will definitely return. The beach houses really are beautifully presented (we are well travelled in Asia) and the staff made a real effort to involve our children who were age 4 and 7 at the time of our... More

Our trip to Nikoi was much anticipated and we embarked from Singapore Ferry Terminal with great excitement. A 55 minute ferry ride later we arrived in Indonesia and were greeted by representatives of Nikoi who whisked us through immigration with no delay (they actually take your documents and have them processed as you start your relaxation at the VIP lounge...

Thanks for your very kind review. I am sorry to hear about your wait at the jetty - that is certainly very unusual as all guests are provided the same VIP service at the ferry terminal so that they are expedited through customs and immigration. We will look into how we can improve this to make sure it doesnt happen... More

We stayed on Nikoi for 3 days 3 nights in Jan 2012. The island itself is beautiful and very secluded. It takes around 3 hours to get there from Singapore. The bungalows are spacious and luxurious with great views of the beach. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Note that meals are not included in the room price but... More

I hate those TA reviews which have nothing but good things to say about a hotel or restaurant. No one's that perfect and therefore I shall try to point out the negatives.
