We went for our annual Bintan trip and great thing happened. The ferry journey was better than expected, no sea sick till 5 min before reaching and I immediate felt better after throwing out. It rain while we were travelling and the rain stop the moment we arrival.
As we travel via Emerald Class, we were invited to wait at the lounge while we waited for our passport to be cleared at the custom, no Q-ing. After checking out, we went to the Banyan Tree counter, took some photos while we wait for the private Jeep to pick and send us straight to the BANYAN TREE. (By the way, the private Jeep service cost us US$12.50 one way..expensive ya but what to do)
The good news arrived while we are waiting for our room to be ready. We had booked for the Bayview Villa that cost us US$360 for a night but were given FREE upgrade to Sanctuary Pool Villa that cost US$675/night. Sanctuary Pool Villa was more than double the size of our original Villa and we got a private pool to ourselves and we had two bed rooms. It was pure indulgence and luxury, who needs to leave the villa when we had everything, right? Nothing beat Free Upgrade and this must be the best deal that happened to me so Far!!
Service at Banyan Tree was top class and they were responsive and reactive to our needs. Foods served was delicious and the view and serene environment was calming. Warning, all this came with a very steep price tag.
Nevertheless, go ahead and pamper yourself once in awhile, try Banyan Tree and you will be addicted...Trust me!!!
So what do u do there? Relax?
