Angsana Bintan

Average: $300 per night
I rate it: 4/5

Before I start, I have to say that if you are looking for a honeymoon destination, spend a little more on Banyan Tree just next door. It will be so worth it.

When we arrived at noon way ahead of their check-in time at 3pm, we thought they would allow us to check-in early. However, we sat at the reception area for an hour while they slowly settled the registration, then another 2 hours eating lunch by the beach.

Surprisingly, everything is charged in USD instead of SGD, so it was already comparatively pricier. Food and drinks are average and overpriced. Some facades are not well-maintained, and the smell of ginger lingers throughout the resort. I hate that the spa is fully booked every single hour.

One good point though - we went for dinner and returned to find the room made up and towels replaced! Beach was nice and relatively untouched. Nice swimming pool next to a patio overlooking the beach. Quite a sight in the day.

I would suggest skipping this overly family-friendly resort for couples. Too many kids at all times of the day.
