Extraordinary Tropical Vibes at Angsana Bintan

Holiday to Angsana Resort never crossed in my mind. Since last year I've been on vacation to Cassia Bintan where the place is adjacent to Angsana. I think, the sensation will be the same. But apparently, the holiday this time was very different and I really fell in love with Angsana Resort because of the ambiance and the service was perfect from the staff. Very beyond my expectation.

In early August, my friend and I decided to stay at Angsana Resort. This resort is located in Laguna Bintan Golf Resort area. Angsana Bintan is a part of Banyan Tree and Cassia Bintan. Along the road from the resort gates to the lobby, lined with large trees that give a cool impression.

Once we arrived at the lobby, we were greeted warmly by the staff and given a cool towel with a refreshing welcome drink. Made from ginger, lemon grass and honey which is fermented overnight. In the lobby area there are several sofas for visitors to rest while waiting for the check in process. I like the guest welcome area, Angsana combines a modern and traditional style, seen from the selection of furniture and some other parts of the lobby.

To the right of the lobby there is a piece of a vessel that is functioning as a table at Sport Centre area for guest who want to choose some of indoor and outdoor activities provided by Angsana Resort. Not only that, other seats are also made of wood and there are shapes resembling a miniature vessel called Sampan or Jong in the Riau Islands Province.

The contour of the land in this resort is a bit hilly, so the building is made with a terraced system. Angsana Bintan is the only private beachfront resort with a dedicated conservation lab on Bintan. The 1.5-kilometre-long private beach is perfect for relaxing or do some water sport activities with friends. The facilities is Recreation Lounge, Marine Centre, Gym, Corporate Events, Swimming Pool and Conservation Lab.

Angsana Resort has five types of rooms, Island Chill Room garden & sea view has an area 33 sqm / 355 sqft. Sea Breeze Room – Queen pool and sea view has an area 33 sqm / 355 sqft. Sea Breeze Room – Twin pool and sea view has an area 41 sqm / 441 sqft.  Island Suite pool and sea view has an area 76 sqm / 818 sqft and last is Island Family Suite with capacity 4 people has an area 275 sqm / 7803 sqft with garden and sea view.

Island Suite Room
I stayed in room 313 with swimming pool and sea view. This room has an area 76 sqm / 818 sqft. It has two rooms with balconies on both sides. Inside there is a living and dining areas joined to a pantry where you can find snacks and drinks. A queen -size bedroom, coffee and tea making facilities, CD & DVD player, flat screen TV with international TV channels, air conditioner, electric kettle, alarm clock, safety box, insect repellent, universal sockets, torch light, umbrella, razor kit, sanitary kit, big and small towels, hairdryer, bathrobes, and Bedroom Slippers.

Water Sports Activities
After take a rest and lunch at Lotus Cafe, we're going to beach area to do some activities. Adrenaline pumped with jetski activity on Angsana beach is very exciting because the sea tends to be calm and the waves aren't too strong. Before starting the activity, we heard the direction from the instructor on duty. After playing Jetski, we tried playing kayak and paddle board.

Xana Beach Club
After doing activities all day, we need a lots of food to feel energized. So guys, we're having dinner at Xana Beach Club Bintan. Every weekend they provided international barbeque dinner with best and fresh seafood. Xana Beach Club Bintan is located between two properties, Cassia Bintan and Angsana Bintan.

The concept is relaxed, enjoying an outdoor dinner. The food realy nice and fresh. Sitting beside the beach roofed sky and a sprinkling of stars. Sometimes we will hear sound of the waves of the ocean. It makes our night unforgotten.

Sunrise Yoga
Yoga movements can release stress, especially if done in an open space with beautiful scenery when sunrise. Angsana Resort offers a memorable experience for visitors. All guests can do yoga activities in the morning by making reservations on the previous day and providing information on the number of guests. Yoga takes place at Santai Deck Angsana Bintan at 5.30am to 6.15am. Available from Thursday to Monday and make sure don't be late guys.

Lotus Café

This café is located one floor below the lobby area. On the ceiling of this cafe, there are some nets inspired by the local fisherman arround South China Sea. The food menu is varied, from traditional Indonesian foods and international menus. We have lunch and breakfast here. For food taste, no doubt, both food and drinks all use fresh ingredients. 

Aqua Aerobic
If we usually do Aerobic activities outdoors or indoors, at Angsana Resort, there is something unique. Aerobic movements in the water guys!! haha. For the hand movements, there is no problem. But for the legs it is very difficult to move in the water, but Its really fun. Must try it when you visit Angsana Resort guys.

My impression during my vacation at Angsana Resort was very pleasant, beyond my expectations. This resort is really friendly to guests and the service is excelent. Finally this holiday is over. On another occasion I will plan to come and return to Angsana Resort with my family.
