Bintan Trip 10 - 11 Feb 2007

We got a complimentary one night stay at Mayang Sari Bintan Resort ~ courtesy of Diners Card when we paid for our wedding banquet with it. So I decided to use it after our honeymoon and during valentine period so that we can relax and celebrate at the same time. Its my first trip to Bintan even though we've been to Batam twice for its spa. In my opinion, indonesia islands is not worth visiting unless you're into cheap spas and the sun, the sea and the sand. I know that Bintan is a popular tourist place which is not cheap for indonesia standard. Many resorts there were owned by Singapore companies...which explains the high price. Spas and massages are similar to local standard. For cheap spa services, I would still recommend a day trip to Batam. The services there is great and you can get half a day treatment for less then SGD$100 per pax.

Isn't it nice to just laze there on a sunny afternoon?






Dear's first birthday surprise cake..it was suppose to come with candles but the waiter forgot about it. Anyway its the first time dear ate an ice-cream cake...he was so sad when we had to throw away the melted cake.
