While my folks are here visiting, Michelle and I thought it would be cool to go away for the weekend with them and show them a little more of SE Asia other than Singapore. With so many options available, we decided to do something local and we spent this past weekend on the Indonesian Resort Island of BINTAN!
Only a 55 minute ferry ride from Singapore, Bintan is a quick getaway destination for many Singaporeans due to its ease and comfort. There are many resorts there from the immensely swank to the ultra low-rent, we stayed in the three star "middle of the road" resort called Mayang Sari. We got some cabins on the beach, checked it and had some lunch. We then hired a driver to take us on a four-hour tour of the island so show my folks some of the local Indonesian "flava", we then came back, got cleaned up and headed to the Katong (Floating Seafood Restaurant") for an awesome dinner. The next day, we had breakfast, went for two hour massages, came back to the hotel to chill on the beach before heading back to the ferry for the return trip to Singapore.
My parents loved it, we loved it and I am sure we will be going back to Bintan for another relaxing weekend. Check out our pics from the 36 hour funfest HERE!!!
