Trikora Beach Club and Resort

The location itself is nice, close to the beach and peaceful but premises are old, dirty and poorly maintained - the rooms are very basic, beds are not comfortable and feel dirty. The bathrooms are old and dirty -the shower head, wooden boards came apart. There are very few facilities and options for entertainment - there is only 1 restaurant with limited menu (many options were not available and not many options for vegetarians) and no buffet breakfast. The pools were cleaned only after we complained. Very poor customer service as the staff either did not understand English or were unwilling to accomodate requests and it was hard to find any staff around. It's not well lit at night and there's no entertainment for children apart from the beach and pool. The reception staff informed us there were life vests for children but there was noone at the "sports centre" and they did not have any small size life vests for kids.Given that therre were very few guests at the resort that weekend, the service could have been a lot better to take care of the few of us who were there. We had to keep complaining before anything was done. The kitchen staff were friendly and helpful but there was no other customer service provided through our stay. The photos and reviews do not accurately reflect how the premises are. The beach is beautiful but the rooms are not comfortable, and you can hear traffic from the main road. Do not recommend for families with kids as it is really boring. The pictures and reviews on trip advisor do not accurately reflect the state of the premises.

Beautiful & unspoilt location to get away from it all! The property is located on this stunning beach with an infinity pool to enjoy the views, together with the well kept gardens or beach to lie back & totally relax! The beach villa is well worth the extra & enjoys a comfortable rustic style with the view & gentle sounds of the ocean. The rustic style continues throughout with a picturesque decking accommodating the restaurant. The menu is varied, reasonable & we enjoyed exceptional dishes every time. The staff are all very friendly & welcoming at every encounter, particularly Anuar who is an absolute delight with such a cheerful & friendly nature, always wanting to make sure that his guests are enjoying their stay. We highly recommend this resort & island - it’s just a short ferry ride from Singapore & approx 50 minute taxi ride but you get to see the island at the same time too. Thanks for the earlier recommendation re: Taxis too. Don’t go for the ones immediately as you come through customs & immigration, but those just as you exit. (Barter too, as we paid 250,000 Ind Rupiat each way plus tip).

A very nice resort that has beautifully clean grounds, well cared for rooms and a nice beach. We spent nearly a week at Tikora Beach and loved every minute. The staff are incredible and very friendly. The food at the restaurant is exceptional with the Indonesia cuisine the highlight. The beach is clean and the water was clear and warm (July). There is not a lot directly around the resort however we did borrow the bikes and went right out of the resort. About 1km on the left u will find a convenience store. A further 500m you will find a hairdresser on the right. The reception were happy to organise a car and driver for us from the ferry terminal. We were also able to hire the same car and driver for a 6hr tour of the islands main attractions. Would definitely recommend staying here for a relaxing break. Special mention to Agung who went out of his way to make sure we were content.

A piece of paradise!!! Low key, quiet off the beaten tourist path,lovely beach front thatched roof, but modern abodes. Beautiful ground. Great staff. Delicious food. Stunning pool. Miles of deserted beach walking. Bicycles to borrow and explore local fishing villages. Even a thatched roof spa offering lovely massage options. A perfect vacation for anyone looking for laid back, no hype quiet vacation. Loved every bit of this hidden gem

The resort is unpretentious but beautiful. Every item in the resort from signs, tables, chairs and the villas were crafted by local tradesmen by hand using native wood fashioned in Riau style. The villas were nicely spread out around a lovely open stretch of grass that looks out into the turquoise sea. The place is peaceful and breezy, with a few cabanas perched on the edge looking over the water. Snorkeling is literally at its doorstep, with some corals and small fishes. For deeper dives, swim out a further hundred meters to the trenches, where water is vibrant, corals are teemed with live and color. It's rare to see marine life these days and I hope the resort will try to regenerate marine life in the shallower areas. Some locals were collecting live shells to sell. It would be nice to see greater protection of the reef from both locals and tourists. I was told turtles lay their eggs on the Trikora beach every year. Again, such sights are rare these days, and the turtles need to be treasured and protected.

A very warm welcome from Dilla and her wonderful team at nicely designed Reception area ! This Resort was highly recommended by my brother who knew the Singaporean owner. My room 21 has thatch roof n beautifully designed modern facilities in living room to toilets. Love the traditional bed with an overhead mosquito net in white ! Never had to use it tho. Great service from ladies at the SPA to service staff at the Restaurant. Wide range of food from Indonesian to Western for breakfast. This Resort has a private beach with White Sea sand with panoramic views of the opposite Islands. Not often we can find TURTLES coming to the restaurant in yr Resort Hotel to lay eggs ! Tenths of baby turtles were born last night ( 15 Oct ). Bintan Island is about an hour's ferry ride from Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal by Changi Airport. It is 3 times larger than Singapore.
