I booked a room in advance for my wife's birthday, so I got a fantastic rate and was very pleased with it. I also arranged for some in-room and F&B arrangement and was very quickly put in communication between the front desk, convention, and F&B. I was afraid they would mess up my surprise to my wife, but nothing of... more

Ausie travellers just returned from Bintan - we stayed at Nirwana Beach Resort for 6 nights and had a wonderful time. It is nowhere near as cheap as Bali as you are virtually tied to the resort but there is plenty to do there. If you eat Indo food it will work out a bit cheaper but alcohol is very... more

I holidayed at Nirwana Beach Resort, Banyu Biru Villa. The resort is not as cheap as a lot of Asian holiday resorts, as prices are based on Singapore costings and It is not as commercialised as a Krabi or Bali, but it is without doubt an elite resort and island, that you have to get to.

Pro's - The resort is close to the Bintan... more

We were here for a wedding. The first couple days we stayed at one of the villas which was f-a-b-u-l-o-u-s! So beautiful and luxurious- I can't even begin to describe it. The next two days, we moved down the "hill" to the Nirwana Resort Hotel. The rooms were clean and tastefully appointed. We were facing the garden and the view... more

This is the 3rd time I went to Bintan, previous 2 hotels that I stayed in were Bintan Lagoon and Angsana. Although service and quality of room and restaurants are not as good as the previous 2, Nirwana resort is value for money. I stayed for 2 nights and paid $360 nett for the room. They have many counters at... more

The staffs are all very friendly, and we were allowed to check in earlier as there's rooms which were vacant already. the breakfast is acceptable.. but the best part about this resort is the SWIMMING POOL!! the swimming pool is great, and i love the little bar inside the... more
