If you are visiting Singapore, Xiaobian still recommends bintan island. The scenic spots here are good, mainly because the food here is really delicious. So when you go to Singapore, you must plan bintan island in your itinerary.

going to bintan island

bintan island is a big island belonging to Indonesia, but it is next to Singapore, so Singapore rented it from Indonesia for tourism development, and it has also become the back garden for Singaporeans to spend their holidays. Although bintan island is very big, in fact, the Singaporean side focuses on the development of the bay in the north of the island, and many resort hotels are concentrated in the north of bintan island, including many golf courses and various holiday facilities.

It only takes about one hour to get to bintan island Holiday Pier by boat, and there are regular flights every day. And for the convenience of tourists, bintan island is a visa-free island, and you only need a Singaporean visa to enter and leave the island.

But it seems so convenient to go to bintan island, but for the reasons of going in and out of customs, you also need to register and print the tickets at Dana Mira Pier more than one hour in advance. After the return trip, it is even more troublesome. After a boat disembarks, it will take one hour to go through the customs. Then you will find that the regular bus to Singapore Changi Airport has already been missed.

Is bintan island worth going to

We hesitated for a long time before we decided to go to bintan island, because we didn't know whether bintan island was worth going to. We are an island control, so we don't want to spend extra energy to go to the beach that is not worth going to-in our impression, bintan island, as the back garden of Singaporeans, seems to be just like Qingcheng Mountain of Chengdu people. It's ok to spend a weekend, and it's not necessary to go there once. Finally, I made up my mind that it was too boring to take my children to stay in downtown Singapore. It was better to go abroad and have a short three-day holiday.

There is very little information about bintan island that can be found on the Internet, which probably means 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 generally have some entertainment activities, such as going to the sea and playing golf. But from the point of view of going to sea, it is very general, and there is oil 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 there, we found that these strategies are all true! No! Yes! Wrong! Bintan island is a holiday beach that comes to visit and eat-and dare not drink casually. It is a Buddhist island tour, and there are no lively projects. The only advantages of bintan island Resort are quiet, few people and occupying a beach at any time.

when we went in June, the quality of the sea water was not bad, and the sand on the beach was very fine, especially like the beach in Samui. Although the sea is still clear and there are many small fish, I dare not go too far in the sea. The signs standing around the sea are jellyfish and oil stains. In fact, I didn't see any oil stains when I was wandering by the sea. I heard that this 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

bintan island is very big, but the resort hotels are all in the north, so the cheap hotels are far away from the pier of the resort, 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 8-9, 1-12, 15 and 25 respectively.

In fact, hotels in bintan island are basically piece by piece. One hotel group contracts one piece, and then there are all kinds of hotels. For example, this time we stayed at Nawan Garden Hotel Group, which has all the above four grades. We chose the comfortable Nirvana Holiday Hotel (NirwanaResortHotel), the price is about 1 RMB per night including breakfast. There is also a cabin-style BeachClub in the whole park, MayangSariBeachResort, an advanced single-family townhouse, and BanyuBiruVilla, the most expensive IndraMayaPoolVillas.

But to be honest, don't use the accommodation standard of RMB in 1 yuan to measure here. This is a resort, and the accommodation level is an old four-star level. Even the more expensive rooms are more general in reading reviews. But one of the advantages of Nawan Garden is that it is connected everywhere. It is a very big park, and there are two big beaches, and there are more places to eat. More importantly, the famous Kuilong Sea Restaurant belongs to their family. It will take you one or two hundred bus fares and time to come here by car from outside.

Other hotels include the Banyan Tree Hotel, which is adjacent to the superior Yuechun Resort of the same group and the cheaper apartment hotel Yuelian.

In addition, there is a tent hotel which is very distinctive, but it is not close to the sea, but it has a huge lagoon called TheCanopiBintan resort in bintan island. Originally, we wanted to make a reservation, and the price was more than 1 RMB, but unfortunately it was booked up.

there is also an all-inclusive ClubMed on Mindan Island. If you choose ClubMed 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, yuan a day for a family, which is really not cheap.

Eat in bintan island

We live in Nawan Garden and basically have three meals a day in the park. There are five restaurants here-the most famous Kuilong restaurant, the western restaurant in the lobby, the restaurant near the swimming pool mainly serves Indonesian local dishes, there is a noodle restaurant in the past, and there is a small hot pot restaurant near Kuilong. In other words, we lived there for three days, which basically happened to be a circle for each family.

The catering consumption in the whole park is not low. The most typical price is a can of beer in 45 yuan RMB, while a buffet meal is about 25-35 yuan RMB, and a restaurant ordering food is about 12-15 yuan RMB per person-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.

Except Kuilong Restaurant, because it is the most famous restaurant in the local area, and the average person who eats it is probably around 3 yuan. When ordering food, one of the most famous crabs is probably in 5 yuan RMB, which is for four people. Other dishes are cheap, and a small portion is enough. When you get to the Kuilong restaurant, you must go before sunset at around 6 pm, so that you can watch the sunset for dinner here, or have a drink in the bar in the middle of the sea in advance, which is quite good.

The second restaurant I have eaten should be the HotPot. The set meal for four is about RMB in 4 yuan, and you can order other things. Ranked second because you can eat here! To! Vegetables Food!

The third restaurant is probably a western restaurant, which is large in weight 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, rice with eggs and coconuts, but there is no air conditioning outdoors.

the fourth place is probably noodle restaurant and breakfast, but it is not lost.

For specific ordering, you can see the comments of each restaurant through Dianping. You can even find the translated menu on it, which is actually quite reliable. Here's 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, 7, rupiah is generally written as 7, while the RMB is almost equal to half of this figure, which is about 35 yuan.

By the way, there is a canteen in the corner of the hotel lobby. It is cheaper to buy some water and snacks.

Playing in bintan island

Mindan Island is mainly for leisure, and there will be some simple entertainment items. For example, there is a special entertainment center in Nawan Garden, which includes 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, and some sea events, and even riding a balance car. There is a special activity center in the lobby where all the tickets are bought, and there is a package that includes elephant watching, horseback riding and archery, etc. 28 yuan is alone.

at other times, you just go around the beach or swim in the pool.

There are shuttle buses from bintan island

Pier to hotels. You can see the small houses of various hotel groups when you come out of the arrival hall. Just check in. Every hotel takes about ten to fifteen minutes to get to the dock, which is very fast. There are shuttle buses to different hotels and scenic spots in Nawan Garden every 15 minutes, which is very convenient. In fact, even if you walk, it's not far. Walking around the beach is only about two kilometers.

If you want to go to other places, it is estimated that you have to charter a car by yourself. The price of a four-hour car is about 5 yuan RMB. Forget it. Don't go out if it is so expensive.

The day before you leave the hotel, you can give the ticket order to the people in the hotel lobby to handle the ticket in advance, so you don't have to wait in line to change tickets when you get to the dock, and you will have plenty of time. When you check out in the morning, you just need to leave your luggage at your time tag, and someone will naturally move it to the car for you.
