Bintan Island Indonesia

The best resort for family. The food is exceptional and rich choices. Although the bedroom was a bit old, it was cleaned and well maintained.

Our family had a great 7 night stay at Club Med Bintan. A special mention to a number of GOs for their superb efforts and engaging with our children.

1. Anne on Rock Climbing should be congratulated for her tremendous efforts with our daughter Isabelle. Anne is an extremely professional, friendly, happy and engaging GO. We cannot thank her enough for her amazing service and efforts.
2. Mitch on Tennis. Mitch engaged with our whole family during tennis lessons, paddle tennis, tennis comps and we even had a couple of private lessons with Mitch. Mitch should be congratulated on his friendliness,
   Professional and engaging approach. We had dinner one night with Mitch and his fiancé. We wish them both well with their wedding and wish them all the best for the future.
   We had another wonderful stay at Club Med Bintan. Julien runs an amazing Hotel and should be congratulated on leading an amazing team of GOs. A happy and positive place that our whole family loves visiting. We have been to Club Med twice in the last nine months and look forward to visiting again very soon.
   Best Wishes, Sam and Miranda

There are just so many amazing things to say about this trip — it’s hard to pick where to start! So I’ll break it down by category to truly appreciate every part of the experience:

1. Incredible team 🌟
   A massive shoutout to all the GOs in Bintan — you guys are truly the BEST! 👏 From the warm welcome to the daily interactions, every moment was filled with joy and friendliness. Special thanks to Jestina, Macy, and Fenny for making us feel so well taken care of, especially with the room arrangements. Your hospitality made the trip even more memorable!

2. Unforgettable Sport and bar experience -The activities were top-tier and absolutely one of the highlights of the trip!

Aerial Yoga with graceful Sandy (GO) – totally loved the experience, first time hanging upside down with such elegance!
Archery with Michael (GO) – who knew I could channel my inner archer!
Aqua Fitness with Jeevan (GO) – what a fun and energizing session in the water.
Every single session was led with passion and professionalism!
Bartender- Walter , thanks for making me the best GO’s favourite drink 🍸

3. Spa Bliss by Sothy 💆‍♀️✨

This trip exceeded expectations in every way. Thank you, Club Med Bintan team, for giving us such a memorable and joyful escape! Can’t wait to come back! 💙🤍

One of our favourite trips ever! The entire GO crew, under the leadership of Chef de Village Julien, were incredibly warm and friendly, truly making the holiday special. From the moment we arrived, Berta greeted us with an exceptionally warm welcome (we met her in Phuket two years ago) and got us oriented with all the wonderful facilities and activities available. Then it was straight to Teens Club to get the kids signed up with ReRe, who headed up the kids’ activities. She was bubbly, welcoming, and full of fun, taking our kids under her wing and introducing them to Angel and Danial, who looked after them for the week. The two of them were fantastic – with endless activities during the day and parties, dancing, and more fun at night.
The kids even recognised one of the lifeguards, Shaam, from our last trip to Club Med Maldives. He welcomed us so warmly, and throughout the holiday, he was lovely – spending time with our family, taking the kids snorkelling, and sharing quite a few beverages with us late into the evenings. He made us feel special the entire trip.
The fun continued with tennis lessons from Mitch, who not only taught us a thing or two about tennis but did so with the perfect balance of theory, humour, and fun. Kevin, who headed up Land Sports, ensured we worked off some of those calories with plenty of fitness activities. He regularly checked in to make sure we were having a great time and joined us for laughs and conversation.
At the rock climbing wall, Richie and Clarissa helped us improve our climbing skills, while Athena at archery was another super-friendly GO who made our stay memorable, always making an extra effort to ensure we were enjoying ourselves.
We also attempted to learn golf to experience the stunning Ria Golf Club next door, which boasts absolutely breathtaking views. Here we were in great hands with Chase, the Golf Pro, who took us from zero to… okay, maybe not hero, but at least we could hit the ball forward! After a few lessons, we were ready for a round of Ambrose golf out on the course with him.
The food at Bintan lived up to the usual high Club Med standards, with a great variety and excellent quality. We were thoroughly spoilt by Azizul and Shay, who looked after us every evening with a great table and impeccable service.
Entertainment-wise, the team held nothing back, delivering dazzling, talent-filled shows every night. ReRe and Dr Oz impressed us with their singing, while the whole crew amazed with their dance moves – particularly Richie, ReRe, Ai, Angel, and Clarissa, who moved like professional dancers on stage.
Every evening, the GO team made us feel so welcome, chatting, laughing, dancing, and enjoying drinks together. The solid crew of Shaam, Berta, Mitch, Ai, Angel, Clarissa, Fenny, Rita, and Chase had us in constant stitches from day one.
If the kids had any bumps or scratches (as they do), the infirmary team, Dr Oz and Mario, were so gentle and attentive, providing fresh dressings and anything else we needed throughout the trip.
Finally, a huge congratulations to Chef de Village Julienne, who has assembled an absolute A-Team of GOs. The village was so well run and exceeded all of our expectations. We couldn’t finish our review without mentioning his extensive shoe collection – watch out for it!
