For bintan island people, Dan Island belongs to Indonesia, but it is next to Singapore, so Singapore rented it from Indonesia to develop tourism, and it has also become the back garden for Singaporeans to spend their holidays. Although Tanbin Island is very large, in fact, Singapore focuses on developing the bay in the north of the island, and many resort hotels are concentrated in the north of Tanbin Island, including many golf courses and various holiday facilities.
It takes only 1 hour by boat to reach Tanbin Island Holiday Pier, and there are regular flights every day. For the convenience of tourists, Tan Bin Island is a visa-free island. You only need a Singapore visa to enter and leave the island.
However, it seems that it is so convenient to go to Tanbin Island, but because of customs clearance, you need to register and print the tickets at Dana Milla Pier more than one hour in advance. After the return trip, it will be even more troublesome. After a ship disembarks, it takes an hour to get through the customs. Then you will find that the bus to Singapore Changi Airport has been missed.
Is Tan Bin Island worth visiting? We hesitated for a long time before deciding to go to Tanbin Island, because we didn't know whether Tanbin Island was worth going. We are island control, so we don't want to spend extra energy on beaches that are not worth going to-in our impression, Tan Bin Island, as the back garden of Singaporeans, seems to be just like Qingcheng Mountain of Chengdu people. A weekend is fine, there is no need to go once. Finally, I made up my mind that it was too boring to take my children to stay in downtown Singapore. Might as well go abroad for a short holiday of three days.
Little information about Tanbin Island can be found on the Internet, which may mean that the resort here is completely a leisure trip. You just need to stay in the hotel to bask in the sun, soak in the pool, eat and drink, and hotels usually have some entertainment activities, such as going to the beach and playing golf. But from the point of view of going to sea, it is very general, there is oil pollution on the beach, which is still very different from the crowded beach in Thailand. Of course, you can also choose some local outings, such as going to mangroves to see virgin forests and fireflies.
Finally, after we went, we found that these strategies were all said! Don't! Yes! No! Tan Bin Island is a holiday beach. People who come to visit and eat are afraid to drink casually. It's a Buddhist island tour, and there are no lively projects. The only advantages of Tanbin Island Resort are quiet, few people, and occupying the beach at any time.
When I went there in June, the seawater quality was not bad, and the sand on the beach was very fine, especially like the beach in Koh Samui. Although the sea is still clear and there are many small fish, I dare not go too far in the sea. The signs that stand around the sea are jellyfish and oil pollution. Actually, I didn't see any oil stains when I was wandering around the seaside. I heard it has something to do with the monsoon.
To sum up, if you really want to seek a moment of peace after traveling in Singapore, you can still come here. If you still like the excitement and noise of Thai style, you don't have to toss around here. By the way, you should be prepared for high consumption. The consumption level here is as high as that in Singapore.
Living in bintan island is very big, but the resort hotels are all in the north, so the cheap hotels are far away from the holiday pier, so you can't pursue cheap. We can roughly classify hotels into several categories: economy, comfort, advanced and luxury, and the after-tax prices are above 800-900, 1000- 1200, 1500 and 2500 respectively.
In fact, the hotels in Tanbin Island are basically one piece at a time. A hotel group contracts a piece, and then there are various grades. For example, the Nawan Garden Hotel Group, where we stayed this time, has all the above four grades. We chose the comfortable Nirvana Holiday Hotel.
ResortHotel), the price is about 1000 RMB per night including breakfast. The whole park also has a wooden beach club and a senior single-family townhouse Mayang.
SariBeachResort), the more advanced BanyuBiruVilla, and the most expensive IndraMayaPool.
Villa)
But to be honest, don't use the domestic 1000 RMB accommodation level to measure here. This is a resort, and the accommodation level is four stars. Even the more expensive room, the reading comments are relatively average. But one of the advantages of the Bay Garden is that it is connected everywhere. This is a very big park with two big beaches and more places to eat. More importantly, the famous Black Nightshade Ocean Restaurant belongs to their family. It will cost you one or two hundred bus fares and time to come by car from outside.
Other hotels include the Banyan Tree Hotel, which is adjacent to the senior Yuechun Resort and the cheaper apartment hotel Lian Yue.
In addition, there is a very distinctive tent hotel, but it is not by the sea, but there is a huge lagoon called Kanoppi Tent Resort in Tanbin Island (TheCanopi
Tan Bin). I wanted to make a reservation at a price of more than RMB 1000, but it's a pity that it's all booked up.
There is also an all-inclusive ClubMed on Mindan Island. If you choose a club,
Med resort hotel, children can go directly to the children's center, all meals are included, and entertainment activities are basically free, which is still very good for many people with convenient plans. The price is about 3,000 yuan a day for a family, which is really not cheap.
Eating in Tan Bin Island, we live in that Bay Garden, and basically we have three meals a day in the park. There are five restaurants here-the most famous Solanum nigrum restaurant, the western restaurant in the lobby and the restaurant near the swimming pool mainly serve Indonesian local dishes. There used to be a noodle restaurant and a small hot pot restaurant near Solanum nigrum. In other words, we lived there for three days, which basically happened to be a circle of families.
The catering consumption of the whole park is not low. The most typical price is 45 yuan RMB for a can of beer, while the buffet is about 250-350 yuan RMB. A meal per person in a restaurant that orders food is about 120- 150 RMB-that is, a bowl of noodles or a dish, which sounds expensive. But fortunately, the weight is relatively large, and two dishes for a family of three are enough.
In addition to Solanum nigrum Restaurant, which is the most famous local restaurant, most people eat around 300 yuan. When ordering, one of the most famous crabs was probably in 500 yuan RMB, belonging to four people. Other dishes are cheap, so a small portion is enough. When you arrive at the Solanum nigrum restaurant, you must be before sunset around 6 pm, so that you can watch the sunset and have dinner here, or have a drink in the bar in the middle of the sea in advance, which is also quite good.
The second restaurant I have ever eaten should be a hot pot restaurant. The set meal for four people is probably 400 yuan RMB. You can order something else. Ranked second because you can eat here! To! Vegetables and food!
The third restaurant is probably a western restaurant, which is heavy and tastes good. Pizza can also be baked with different ingredients. The restaurant in the swimming pool is also good. You can eat fried noodles, eggs and coconut rice, but there is no air conditioning outdoors.

The fourth place is probably noodle restaurant and breakfast, but it's not a loss.
If you order food specially, you can see the comments of various restaurants through the public comment network, and even find the translated menu on it, which is actually quite reliable. Here is a simple way to convert the local currency: since the Indonesian rupiah is not very valuable, the last three zeros are usually removed from the bid price. For example, 700,000 Indonesian rupiah is generally written as 700, and RMB is almost equal to half of this figure, which is about 350 yuan.
By the way, there is also a canteen in the corner of the hotel lobby. It is cheaper to buy some water and snacks.
Playing in Tando Island, bintan island people, mainly for leisure, will have some relatively simple entertainment projects. For example, Nawan Garden has a special entertainment center, including elephant garden, horseback riding, fishing, shooting, archery, high-altitude zip line and so on, which is very rich. In fact, there are beach volleyball, football, some sea events and even riding a balance car. There is a special activity center in the hall, where all tickets are bought, and there is also a set meal including elephant watching, horseback riding and archery. 280 yuan is alone.
Other times, you just go to the beach or swim in the swimming pool.
There is a shuttle bus from Tanbin Island Pier to the hotel. From the entrance hall, you can see the small houses of various hotel groups. Just checking in. It takes about ten to fifteen minutes from each hotel to the dock, which is very fast. There are shuttle buses to different hotels and scenic spots in Nawan Garden,/kloc-every 0/5 minutes, which is very convenient. In fact, even if we go, it's not far. It is only about two kilometers to walk around the beach.
If you want to go to other places, it is estimated that you can only charter your own car. The price of a four-hour car is about 500 yuan RMB. Forget it. Don't go out when it's so expensive.
The day before you leave the hotel, you can take the ticket to the person in the lobby of the hotel to apply for the ticket in advance, so you don't have to wait in line to change the ticket when you arrive at the dock, and there is plenty of time. When you check out in the morning, you just need to put your luggage on your time tag, and naturally someone will help you move it to the car.
