Bintan Agro Beach Resort

Was looking through my list of food photos which I'm supposed to upload, I found some from Bintan! In sep, before hubby changed his job, we went for a short trip. In order to avoid the crowd at Nirwana and Bintan Lagoon, I opted for Bintan Agro Beach Resort. It's a pretty painless affair to book the package from http://bintanspavilla.com/packages.html as they were based in Singapore.

I took package C, a sweet memory package which includes ferry tickets, land transfer, 2 nights accomodation, 150 mins spa, poolside candlelight dinner with an additional upgrade to Blue Ocean Suite. The full package costs us $656 for 2 pax and payment was made via bank transfer and within days, my trip was confirmed. There was no need to go down to the agency at all. Internet really made life so much easier.


Agro Beach resort has 2 other sister resorts, Cabana and Yasin Bunglows. Agro seems to be the more popular one. I wouldn't say it's crowded, in fact there's probably less than 10 rooms occupied when we were there! It's was nice and quiet, most likely due to the fact that we went there from Thur to Sat. The suite we got were simple, very simple but clean and a nice view of the ocean. The resort has been around for a while, so some of the stuffs were pretty old.

We had fun snorkelling though!! I bought a digipac to place my camera so that we could take photos underwater, and it worked really well.

Anyway, food was good too! We went to the Sun Moon Restaurant (and it has no affiliations with the one in SG), food was not to expensive and it's really nice.

Some pics I took. The Dragonfruit juice. It was fresh dragonfruit jucie and the 1st time I tried. It wasn't too bad.


Fried Rice, their specialty. Don't belittle this small simple plate, it was really good. Still drooling over it now.


Weather was cold, so we ordered tom yam soup. This was not too bad as well, just the right amount of spicyness.


The prawns were nice and fresh, maybe cos they were pretty near the sea? All in all, the meal was actually quite cheap and affordable.

All in all, it was a good trip to rest and relax. Looking forward to the next trip to Bintan in Feb with hubby's friends!
