Cheap Hotels in Bintan

"The staff at the hotel were warm, friendly and good at engaging with kids. They were also very responsive when I made requests via their hotel whatsApp during my stay. As a family travelling with a 4 month old infant, they provided me with a baby bathtub, a Philips Steam steriliser and a Philips avent milk bottle warmer (subject to availability). There was also a proper cot for my baby to sleep in. This is definitely a family friendly hotel and they have a kids club for activities. The kids club also provided babysitting services at a charge if required. The restaurant in the hotel was spacious and have a nice ambience. The quality of food was pretty good in my view. Kids get to dine for free. Kids could get to feed the Koi fish at the pond during breakfast time outside restaurant as staff will give out some packets of fish feed to them. The only downside to the whole stay experience is their built environment as there are some steps to their rooms (not totally barrier free) which could make using a stroller slightly challenging as we will need to carry it up and down. Nonetheless, all in all, it is still a pleasant stay for my family."

"We recently stayed here and had an absolutely fantastic experience! The staff mentioned we had just missed the end-of-May crowd, so the resort was incredibly calm and peaceful. It felt so serene, and we were even among the only ones in the pool all day. The pool was a great size and very relaxing, with plenty of sun chairs available. What We Loved: - Our room was extremely clean with no faults at all. We were upgraded to an Ocean View room, and the views were just beautiful. - The breakfast buffet had a great and delicious selection. Having 5 different dining options on site was excellent because the food never felt repetitive. We highly recommend trying the Lamb Shank at the Recreational Village! - We took some classes which were fun to attend. There was no booking required, which was great because it kept our schedule completely flexible. - The free shuttle service from the BBT Ferry Terminal was very convenient. - The service staff were all so friendly and attentive to our needs. A huge thank you to Kinasih in particular, who served us both poolside and at the Recreational Village. He is such a friendly guy and provided top-notch service. Some Minor Improvements: - Upon arrival, our luggage was accidentally left behind at the ferry terminal, though it was sorted out. - It was a bit hard to find information about the resort at first, such as the in-room dining menu, directions to the Recreation Village, and details for Chocolate Hour. Most of this was on the TV portal, but our TV was not set up to show it when we first turned it on, so we didn’t know about it until the next day. - An introduction to the facilities placed in the rooms or explained by the check-in staff would have been very useful. - We much prefer having physical menus rather than QR codes everywhere, and having physical signs for Chocolate Hour would be a good touch. Overall though, this is a wonderful resort with great food and excellent staff. We had a very relaxing holiday and would love to come back!"

"The staff's service attitude was exceptional: Whether at the front desk or in the restaurant, the staff consistently maintained genuine smiles, showed great patience, and actively offered assistance, even under the pressure of huge crowds and long queues during peak hours. The staff's excellent attitude was the best part of this stay and is highly commendable to the management! Room amenities and towel quality need improvement: Upon checking into the room, I found there was no hairdryer (when contacting housekeeping for a replacement, the staff member mistakenly thought I wanted to return a broken one, indicating a flaw in their inventory check mechanism). Furthermore, there were obvious stains on the towels requiring replacement, and their texture was stiff, rough, and noticeably old, failing to meet the standards expected of a high-end resort. Breakfast peak hour crowding and tableware hygiene: Due to many guests being from Singapore (a 1-hour time difference), there were long queues for dining at 7:45 AM (8:45 AM Singapore time). We were initially directed to the makeshift Beach Bar area, but it had no air conditioning, flies, and limited food options. We eventually had to return to the main restaurant to queue again. Some cups and plates in the main restaurant felt sticky and greasy to the touch, indicating that washing hygiene control needs to be strengthened. Beach Club dining quality was below expectations: The Buffalo Wings (peach hot wings) ordered at the bar in the evening had a soggy, un-crisp skin, were completely not spicy, and lacked authentic flavor. There is room for improvement in the dining standards. Hotel activity arrangements and facility opening hours: There were relatively few activities available at the hotel. Although free family photography was offered, the staff did not remind me to book during check-in, resulting in all slots being fully booked the next day. On the first day, after returning to the hotel at 9:30 PM from an island tour, the swimming pool was already closed, meaning I couldn't experience any of the hotel's facilities throughout the entire trip. Practical advice for future guests: Avoid peak breakfast hours: It's recommended to go for breakfast before 7:30 AM to avoid the peak period from 7:45 AM to 9:00 AM when Singaporean guests typically wake up. Be proactive in booking activities: Remember to proactively ask the front desk for an activity list during check-in and book popular items like free family photography on the spot. Pay attention to pool closing times: If you have evening plans (e.g., mangrove fireflies tour), you might miss the pool's opening hours upon returning to the hotel. It's advisable to plan ahead."

"We travelled as a group of 6 adults and a baby. They were able to accommodate us to teepees just next to each other which was really helpful for a group trip. Communication via WhatsApp was prompt, with specific numbers for reception, in room dining and in house spa. The resort is closely connected to treasure bay and right next to another resort that shares the bay. Water activities and scooters for rent at 20% discount for guests. Teepee were well air conditioned and barely any creepy crawlies. Groups can hang out at the close by tables near the teepees or in their tents where there is a table, some stools and bean bags + a fan for hot days. Buggy within the resort was handy as well if you are staying far in. Service was immaculate - always so friendly and helpful."

"This is a very clean hotel with friendly staff and a well-maintained room. The towels smelled great and the facilities were complete. However, the massage therapist at Liu Zan was just average; there's definitely room for improvement there!"

"Staying in Cassia Bintan was the perfect sanctuary I needed to recharge and getaway from the busy city life. This 'me-time' was exactly what I needed to find my peace again. The hospitality started the moment I arrived—I was greeted by Arya at the counter, who was incredibly helpful and kind. His warm welcome immediately put me at ease as a solo traveller. I truly appreciated the shuttle bus provided by Cassia from the ferry terminal; it felt very safe and organized, which is so important for solo female travellers. The room itself was a dream. I loved the blue colour of the room. This soothing blue wall creates a calm space where I can truly relax. It's spacious and clean. My favourite spot was the well-equipped kitchenette and the nice private balcony; the air felt so clean and fresh, and it was such a serene place for me to sit and do my painting. I love the sea so much, and the serene beach was so therapeutic. The pristine white sand and the shimmering turquoise blue sea were breathtaking. Being able to stroll along the shore every single day while listening to the gentle sea waves was the perfect way to clear my mind. I also loved spending time at Vista—sipping on their refreshing lime juice while soaking in the stunning sea view was pure bliss. The food at Lotus Cafe was delicious, and the staff always greeted me with a warm smile. Having the market 23 nearby was also so convenient for snacks and essentials. If you’re a mum looking for a safe, beautiful, and welcoming place to find some peace by the water, this is it. A heartfelt thank you to Arya and the whole team! Guest from room 3502”"

"Even though the hotel looks a bit dated, it didn't dampen the kids' spirits. The seaside views are beautiful, and the white sand is super fine and clean. At night, you can hear frogs croaking, which the kids absolutely loved."

"Doulos Phos the Ship Hotel is a place of total serenity and peace. Upon arrival ,we were greeted by the warm hospitality of the hotel team. Andri, the hotel manager gave us a good overview of the activities that we can enjoy at the hotel. He personally conducted the tour and the ship hotel and briefed us on its interesting history. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was simple but delicious. The sunset and sunrise were beautiful. In the evening, we had a 10-course Rijstafel, an Indo- Dutch semi fine dining comprising a welcome drink, appetizer,, main course and dessert plus a very special brew of coffee. Overall, it has been a wonderful weekend getaway for me and my wife. Will come back again to explore the surroundings more."

"Indigos Bintan・A Candid Review After a Five-Day, Four-Night Stay Having just completed a five-day, four-night stay, overall, this is a 'beautiful and Instagrammable' resort. However, for those planning a four-night consecutive stay, there are a few practical points to be aware of. Beach and Water Activities The sand on the beach is quite fine and white, but at low tide, the tidal flats are very shallow and mixed with small stones, making it unsuitable for direct swimming. On the other hand, it’s perfect for using the complimentary (30-minute) kayaks and stand-up paddleboards provided by the hotel – the equipment is new, you can launch directly from the beach, and the staff even offer basic instruction, which is a big plus. Spending an hour or two here each day is a great way to enjoy the sun and work off the delicious food. Poolside Breakfast Breakfast is served semi-buffet style at SugarBEATS, with seating right by the pool. Enjoying your meal by the poolside truly adds to the vacation vibe. The food is refined, especially the Indonesian fried rice and freshly prepared Pho, but the selection isn't extensive, and eating there for four consecutive days can feel a bit repetitive. Biggest Pain Point: Only One Restaurant in the Entire Hotel This is my biggest gripe. You're stuck eating dinner at the same place, and by the third night, I was at a loss for what to order. The prices aren't cheap, but the food is just average. I highly recommend bringing your own snacks or simply walking five minutes to the Holiday Inn next door for more dining options. Other Minor Drawbacks While the greenery is lovely, there are a lot of mosquitoes, so you need to open and close the balcony door quickly. Soundproofing at night is mediocre; footsteps in the corridor are clearly audible. Summary If you're drawn by the design and service, a 2-3 day stay would be paradise. However, five days and four nights is definitely on the longer side. Remember to plan at least two days for excursions (like the mangrove tour or Blue Lake), otherwise, you might get bored. I'd give it an overall score of 8.5/10 – it offered pleasant surprises, but didn't quite reach full marks."

"Stayed in the private pool ocean view villa, and it was one of the best villas I’ve ever visited! 😍 The villa itself was beautiful: * 🚽 Japanese/Korean heated toilet * 🚿 Large shower * 🛀 Large bathtub * 🪞 Couple’s sink with plenty of space * 🛏️ Big, comfortable bed The ocean is clear and unpolluted, and each villa comes with an inflatable paddle—high tide was so fun, and low tide lets you spot little fishes. It felt like a private beach —perfect for fun and amazing photos with no photo bombers.✨The pool was perfect too, cleaned daily, and the resort was very private and peaceful. 💡 If I were to share my advice 🤿 Go snorkeling! My biggest regret was not going 🥺. If the water in front of the villa is already this clear and full of fish, I can only imagine the snorkeling spots. 🐠 🍽️ The Ocean Restaurant was excellent—fresh local fish and seafood noodles for 385k IDR. I only wish I tried the mud crab! 🥲 https://oneofakindbintan.github.io/oneofakindbintanmenu/ocean/mobile/index.html Room Service Menu 🚲 Free bicycles are available—just ask reception and they’ll deliver them to your villa. 💆♀️ Book a spa session—I spent so much time researching spas before the trip, only to find that the resort itself offers affordable spa packages. I didn’t plan enough time for it 🤏🥲 but it’s seriously worth it. 💡 My advice: Stay in the ocean view villa—it’s absolutely worth it. Transport is easy to arrange, but this level of ocean view and privacy at this price is rare. ✨ The best vacations are the ones with regrets from not knowing more—so go for this. A true hidden gem—100% worth visiting! 🌊💙 ❤️ Huge thank you to the manager and team for their outstanding hospitality and excellent service. Everyone was friendly and attentive, which made the stay even more memorable."
