TRC Bintan Resort

The bungalows were super cute and cozy, and the personal were very kind and helpful. When we arrived there was a private event with some music and they told us during the checkin that they had upgraded our bungalow to a higher quality one so that we weren't bothered by the event noise.

There isn't much to do there if you don't have a car since the place is pretty isolated, so you would need to use taxis.

A cute peaceful resort consisting of small chalets with all the basic necessities (A/C, mosquito spray, bottled water). The beds were comfortable with quality bedding. The staff (notably Titak) were extremely friendly and went out of their way to please us. A nice simple on-site restaurant with a pool table. This resort is secluded, which may bother some, but we considered this an advantage for a relaxing break (staff organized a driver).

Due to the fact that the hotel had only reopened 3 weeks before our arrival, the beach and surroundings were not maintained properly.

The room was decent. The shower and hot water worked perfectly. The location is in a good distance with the street, created a very quite atmophere. If you are looking for a quite time with voices of birds, waves, and winds, you will be happy to stay here. The Internet Connection was very good.

I didn't really enjoy the food. But I'm a vegetarian, so I had a limited options. We found a bunch of mangrove on one part of the beach, unfortunately it was not accessible during our visit.

Cheap and staffs are very nice.

It has private beach.But they left the beach dirty. Not ok to swim in the sea.So many dirts.

Amazing staff, so friendly and helpful with everything you might need. Very peaceful resort with beautiful open spaces. Room was very fresh.

The tide makes it hard if not impossible to swim. The bathroom was small.

The location/ super friendly staff. Good food. Really budget friendly option for weekend getaway.

During our stay on Saturday, some school groups came around in the afternoon and it was super loud and the same thing happened in the evening. Some biker group came for some gathering and kept singing the whole night. Since this beach is not a private one, sometimes locals will come and make noise during the afternoon or night.

TRC Bintan totally exceeded my expectations. It was everything I've asked for and more. I was looking for a quiet place for a solo retreat that doesn't cost me an arm and a leg. The staff were impeccable, each and every one of them. They were all very welcoming and tried their best even if they couldn't speak much English. Loved the little private beach area where I could sit to journal and meditate when it isn't raining. Room was clean although there was a little smell in the bathroom that an air freshener can eradicate easily. Food in the restaurant is good and relatively inexpensive.

My transfer from BBT Ferry Terminal to the hotel was late for 45 mins. It didn't help that there was no local contact number I could call to check on it. It would have been nice to speak to someone locally to find out if my transfer was coming or if I should just get a taxi from the ferry terminal. The resort had a event the next day at the restaurant and it was rather loud and not conducive for journaling. The staff was apologetic though and even offered to bring me to the local beach free of charge for some peace and quiet. For everything that the hotel may have been lacking in, the staff more than made up for it with their warmth, hospitality and kindness. I will definitely return whenever I want a more authentic experience of the real Bintan at local prices.

Perfect place for relaxing and doing nothing. The staff were so nice and the food was good, cheap and local. Great value for money
