Banyan Tree Bintan

10/10 Excellent
"This is not your typical sterile resort hotel, the same the world over, perfectly serviceable, but with no soul. Banyan Tree Bintan charmed us into loving the place. Yes, the drains may have been a little smelly at times, the doors didn't fit properly and our villa could have done with a refresh, but the privacy, the attention of the staff and the food were all exceptional. It felt like we were properly in Indonesia even though we were less than an hour ferry ride from Singapore. Our villa had an amazing view and was kept spotlessly clean. Housekeeping, delighted in leaving us towel sculptures and decorating our rooms with flowers. The infinity pools were stunningly beautiful and quiet. The massage at the spa was one of the best I've ever had. Staff were delightful, engaging, nothing was too much trouble and issues were dealt with swiftly. They clearly take pride in doing their best. We left feeling relaxed and refreshed - exactly what was needed."

"Nirup was a fantastic getaway for our family of four - 2 kids aged 9 and 13. We enjoyed the private pool and the activities planned. The kids especially liked the gym. I went for a massage at the spa too. Overall a great experience. The only mode of getting around is using the buggy, which can have a hit of waiting time, so plan your daily schedules early. Otherwise, was fine for us to walk around the small island. Encouraged to purchase meal plan! There are no other restaurants to go to anyways."
