Still, I hope that with this guide, people who're looking at a beach getaway in Bintan can learn from my absolutely fantastic experience & most importantly, know what to expect. =)
We'd decided on Angsana Resort & Spa but a week before departure, Xiaxue wrote such a scathing review of her experience with sand flies, tar glops etc, that I was griped with fear.
Perhaps it's because my travel motto has always been to have low expectations so that I'll be pleasantly surprised, or maybe she was just darn unlucky, but I had a completely different experience from Xiaxue's, I'm happy to report!
