After reading all the reviews here and being a natural "Club Med sceptic", I went to the Bintan Club Med with my wife and 2 young kids (6&4) with rather low expecations. Knowing Bintan from countless golf trips, the ferry ride and immigration procedure was smooth as usual and not too long after leaving Singapore we were greeted by the... more

Our family spent 3 days there and wished we could stay longer. While our room and some of the facilities have seen better days (still CRT tv), the staff there were fantastic, especially to our kids. Our 2 kids loved the kids' club with all the activities that came with it. They did even more than us (actually we were... more

Staff is friendly and helpful. Nice selection of bars for drinking. Alcohol is plentiful and easily accessible! Grounds are nice. Cons: Food at mealtime is ok (it's buffet style which... more
