| Angsana Bintan |
The Riau Islands in particular the Bintan
Regency is indeed famous for its beautiful white sandy beaches. One of them is
an international standard tourist area located in Lagoi, Bintan, Indonesia.
Indonesia with a tropical climate is very suitable as a summer vacation spot
for foreign tourists and also local tourists because there are many luxurious
and magnificent resorts located along the waterfront. Of the many resorts in
the Lagoi tourist area, Angsana Bintan is one of the luxury resorts that
presents a variety of exciting and challenging activities. Incidentally last
week me and my friends were on vacation there and tried some activities there.

| Welcome Drink |
Saturday afternoon I went
to the tourist area of Lagoi, Bintan by motorbike. Passing through the
western causeway, I spurred my motorcycle a little faster so I could get to my
destination soon. About 1 hour drive, I arrived at Angsana Bintan. After parking
the motorbike, me and friends rushed to the lobby to check in. Arriving at the
lobby we were greeted by mba-mba and mas-mas with a friendly smile and
greetings while bringing us cold small towels and a glass of welcome drink. The
afternoon weather was indeed very hot and it felt very fitting to be welcomed
with a cold small towel and drink. The drink is also very refreshing for the
throat. Made from a mixture of ginger, lemon grass and honey which is fermented
overnight.

| Lunch |
After a moment of relieving
fatigue and thirst, we went through the check-in process by showing each of our
ID cards. Then we were given a room key and were invited to lunch because it
was time for lunch. That afternoon we ate at Lotus Cafe. There are many food
and beverage menus to choose from according to taste. I chose to eat Prawn
Nestum. Prawn Nestum consists of giant prawns, chili, nestum powder, curry
leaves and team jasmine rice. Because I wasn't eating rice, the rice was
replaced with french fries. It feels really good, the shrimp is soft and the
skin has been peeled so we don't need to bother peeling the skin. For drinks I
chose Angsana Punch. This drink is mixed from several tropical fruits mixed
with a little soda. Matter of taste do not be asked, it is definitely very cool.

From several choices of
activities in Angsana Bintan, we chose watersport activities. We will play jetski,
paddleboard and kayak. Before playing Jetski, we were given a briefing on how
to ride Jetski. This is my first experience riding a jetski who usually only
sits behind as a passenger. At first I was afraid, but after a
while it became really fun. Especially if there are big waves, I have to be
brave to break through the waves even though my body is like floating. About 15
minutes I took turns with a friend riding a jetski.

After playing Jetski, I
tried playing paddleboard while the other friends played like. This game uses a
skateboard and paddle. This is also my first experience riding a paddleboard. I
was told to sit on the surfboard, then one by one the feet slowly raised on the
surfboard. Then straighten up with a position like kneeling. After that
paddling a skateboard around the coast. If you want something more extreme, try
slowly standing on the skateboard. Must be able to balance the body so it does
not fall. Several times I tried and always failed alias fell, finally for the
trial for the umpteenth time I managed to stand on the skateboard even though
only a few seconds.

Satisfied with activities
at sea, we returned to our rooms because it was almost time for Maghrib prayer.
Arriving in the room immediately take a shower, pray and rest for a while while
waiting for the other friends to prepare for dinner. Supposedly dinner is held
at Lotus Cafe. But since last night Saturday night and the Lotus Cafe was
closed so we were welcome to have dinner at Xana Beach Club which is located right
by the beach.

Once I arrived at the Xana
Beach Club, I was sedated by such an atmosphere. Tables and chairs are arranged
in such a way and each table is placed with candles to add a romantic
impression. Dinner on the beach, under the starry sky and the sound of the
waves making me fantasize and hope that one day I can have dinner here with
'Someone Special'. The atmosphere was starting to be crowded by guests who
wanted to eat dinner. The menu served is International Buffet BBQ. There are
various grilled, salads, vegetables, tropical fruits, various desserts, various
fresh drinks and kids corner especially for children.

The night was getting late,
the fun of chatting and joking made us forget the time. The clock showed 10 pm
and the restaurant was almost closed. We rushed back to the room to rest
because all day we were on the move and the body had begun to feel tired. Until
in my room I immediately rested because tomorrow morning we had promised to
take part in a sunrise yoga which was held at 5.30am on the Santai Deck.

At exactly 5 am my alarm
sounds. I deliberately set an alarm so I could wake up in the morning for fear
of missing the morning prayer and sunrise yoga. Wake up immediately rush to
dawn prayers and get ready to follow sunrise yoga. Arriving at Santai Deck it
turns out that sunrise yoga has begun. I immediately took the mat and joined
with other guests who had joined first. I was very enthusiastic about yoga
because it had been a long time since I had participated in yoga and certainly
because the instructure came from India. Moreover, the location of Santai Deck is
on the beach with a charming view of the sunrise.

| Breakfast |
After yoga, my friends and
I took a short break on the Relax Deck while enjoying the sunrise and taking
pictures. After enjoying the sunrise, we headed to Lotus Cafe for breakfast.
Again, we were confronted by a variety of foods and drinks that were very
appetizing. Lots of menu choices make me confused to choose and it feels like
to be sampled all. But still, the stomach must be filled according to capacity.
The employees serve us very well and friendly.
After breakfast and
chatting for a while we agreed to swim in the pool. We rushed to the pool where
there were some guests who were swimming there with their families. Again
engrossed in swimming suddenly there is an offer for the joint Aqua Aerobic.
What ??? Aerobic in the pool? To be sure, this has never been done before. We
are curious and agree to join Aqua Aerobic. Once started, it's still normal.
For hand movements, I can still follow because it's easy. But fitting the
movement of the foot, a bit heavy to lift because the feet are in the pool.
Exciting, follow the movements of the instrument. Unfortunately we could not
participate long because we had to get ready to check out. We went back to our
room, showered and prepared to check out.
2 days was really fast in
Angsana Bintan because indeed while we were there, we did various exciting and
fun activities. I don't want to end this holiday. Some reasons that make me
feel at home in vacation and linger here, including :
- The place is easy to reach. From Tanjungpinang to Lagoi using a car or motorcycle. From Batam to Tanjung Uban by speedboat or roro ship. From Singapore to the port of Bandar Bintan Telani using a ferry;
- The atmosphere around the resort is still very beautiful and peaceful because there are still many overgrown shade trees and away from the hustle and bustle of noise;
- Cleanliness is always maintained, no littering garbage. Included around the coast are also clean, free of trash;
- The employees are very kind and friendly. As a guest, I am very well served. Every time they meet, they always greet you kindly. They always provide the best service and smile for us guests;
- The rooms are spacious, complete and comfortable. There is a balcony suitable for relaxing while enjoying views of the garden, swimming pool and the sea;
- Existing activities are also very diverse. Starting from activities for children, sports and various activities that are full of challenges and adventures;
- Can enjoy all the facilities in Angsana Bintan;
- Food and drinks are also many choices. Starting from traditional Indonesian food to western food, everything is here. Plus fresh drinks that are processed from various tropical fruits. If it's a matter of taste, there's no doubt because all food and drinks are made by experienced, experienced chefs.
