“Not bad”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 25, 2013 via mobile

The hotel is not that bad, but the journey from the jetty is a bit of a killer. 2 hours to get there, beach is quite nice. The family room is huge and spacious, would recommend for a quick and short getaway.

“Nice Get-away for Short Break”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 16, 2013

We had a 3 day 2 night stay and really enjoyed every minute at the resort. It is compact and rooms were close to the pool and restaurant for breakfast. The resort also had a strip of "private" beach which is really beautiful. We had outdoor foot reflexology and Thai massage at a hut facing the sea - very relaxing and not expensive (SGD18 for 60 minute foot reflexology & SGD27 for 75 minute of Thai massage). Other than spa and massage, resort has sea sports activities like canoeing, karaoke, beach ball. Resort also has half day city tours costing SGD10 per head. Staff are also very helpful and hospitable. Will consider organizing a family trip down here again.

Room Tip: You can try requesting for a room facing the sea.

“Nice view from Blue Ocean Room”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 9, 2013

My boyfriend and I stayed for 2 days 1 night. The bus journey was long about 1 hour from the ferry terminal to the resort. It rained for two whole days when we were there in mid Jan 13, so we did not do any water sports. Anyway the beach area is small and not very nice. We did the Queen and King Spa which was not too bad. We booked online in advance and got a 20% discount. We had fried rice and fried noodles and watermelon juice for lunch at an affordable price, less than $15. Dinner was included, an Indonesian set dinner which includes rice, fish, chicken, vegetables and soup, better than what we expected at the Sun Moon Restaurant. The best part of the trip was our room. We stayed at the Blue Ocean Room with the balcony overlooking the sea, very romantic for couples. The room is also very spacious and comfortable. Overall an ok trip, could be better without the rain.

“Better than the others I guess”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 6, 2013

My friend and I stayed there for 2days and 1 night. Quite far because we traveled 45minutes from the port just to get in there and we passed by some of the resorts in Bintan and I guess it was the better one coz the other's smaller than this resort.

The rooms are pretty good and spacious and the sea view from the room really took our breath away especially in the morning where the sun was rising.

The only quite-bad(not really), there is no wifi inside the room so we need to go down to the lobby or to the poolside just to browse net.
The restaurants were spacious but kind of disappointing because when we had breakfast, there were flies around the tables and the chafing dishes, and it was absolutely irritating. (I did took shower anyway before we go for breakfast)
The activities were limited.

The poolside has a good view anyway, near the sea.
The spa was awesome. I fell asleep though.

And the service was good also.

Room Tip: 1 night stay would be good enough, because its far from the city, or any market, so your day will on...

“Needs an extreme makeover”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed February 1, 2013

We stayed at the Agro for a weekend of kitesurfing and though the kitesurfing was amazing this hotel is dated and very run down. We booked one of the Blue Ocean Suites which stands on stilts above water. Though it was lovely being on the sea the room was really unpleasant and a huge disappointment (especially for the price we paid). Both the room and the bathroom are large but the decor looks like it's from the 70s, the sheets and towels are ripped and stained (presumably these are also from the 70s) and there is a sense of uncleanliness. The toilet seat broke and when we had a look we saw that it had been broken previously and the staff had "fixed" it by wedging a pencil through it!
In regards to the rest of the resort there are lots of activities on offer – there's beach volleyball, basketball, karaoke, a spa and water sports. There's also a really nice pool – however the the sun loungers are wooden, uncomfortable and are fixed in an upright position. For a group of school children I imagine this resort would be fine, but for anyone else I wouldn't recommend it. The food here is also terrible and unfortunately there aren't any restaurants nearby.
On a positive note the staff were friendly and helpful but sadly overall the Agro was a huge disappointment and it is in desperate need of a makeover. We won't be back.

Room Tip: Don't pay a lot of money for a Blue Ocean Suite, instead choose a cheaper room which I imagine a...
