The wait is finally over.

We are delighted to present the new look for our deluxe rooms. Luxurious beds, spacious living area and designer furniture pieces are just some of the features designed to enhance our brand and to provide more comfort to our guests. The new Bintan Lagoon Resort deluxe room merges modern local Indonesian touches seamlessly with latest contemporary requirements of modern business and leisure travelers, created by an in-house team spearheaded by designer, Richard Ho.

Kevin Rozario, a freelance travel and aviation journalist, who visited the mock up new room left the resort saying, “The design revamp brings a fresh contemporary feel to Bintan Lagoon Resort and adds a touch of modernity to the rooms without losing their charm. Thanks to the subtle, muted colour scheme, and dark woods for the furniture, the feeling is warm and inviting, not stark and sterile like many hotel rooms we see today.”

The management and staff are very encouraged by the positive and encouraging responses we received so far. We are confident that our new rooms will offer a fantastic stay for our visiting guests.
