My family had an excellent stay at Club Med Bintan Island! We made so many unforgettable memories.

From all of the amazing activities to the nightly shows and parties, there is never a boring day at Club Med Bintan. The food is exceptional, and I couldn’t get over the fact that kid’s had their own step to order drinks from the bar. But what really makes Club Med Bintan excellent is the caring, funny, kind and helpful GO’s (staff). I loved hanging out at Teens Club and trying all the activities. I would like to give a very special mention to Tariq who made our holiday unforgettable for my cousins and I. We did a Teens Club show twice and it was so much fun doing the dances with Tariq! Also having dinner with Tariq was a very fun night! I would also like to give a very special mention to Silver and Sara who helped me find a new hobby, flying trapeze! They taught me so much, and I was even lucky enough to do the catch session, which I will remember forever!

Overall, I had one of the best holiday’s ever! I will remember all the memories I made at Club Med Bintan.

P.S Tariq- I named my toy sea lion after you!

Everything at club med Bintan was amazing, the food, the atmosphere and the free schedule that was different everyday. What really made this trip worth it were the GO’s (staff), all the GO’s kept a smile on their faces and made you laugh everyday. Thank your for Tariq, Slyvia and Jacka for making this trip memorable.

Eight wonderful days at Club Med Bintan — an exceptional team!

We have just spent eight wonderful days at Club Med Bintan, and it was the team there, who made this holiday truly special. From the food and entertainment to the activities and everyday conversations, there was so much warmth, care and fun.

The Hitwave show was the best show we have ever seen at any Club Med — an absolute highlight! Matthew’s Gangnam Style was unforgettable, and every one of Tariq’s performances was a joy. Tariq also deserves a special mention for his work with the teen club.

The dining team looked after us beautifully. Thank you to Arun for the wonderful lobster, and to Benz, the food manager, who was always on hand in the dining room, making sure every mealtime was nourishing and enjoyable.

My chef of the week was Chef Yudha at the Japanese cuisine station. His sushi and other Japanese delicacies were delicious, but our conversations made each visit even more special. He patiently helped me develop my basic Indonesian, giving me time to speak his language without feeling hurried. He also shared some of the sushi skills he learned in Bali. Those moments of food, language and connection were precious, and I left feeling richer for having met him.

At the bar, Noa always remembered our drinks, while Sihar at the beach bar has a special gift for making guests feel like truly valued friends. His warmth deserves particular recognition. Ari gave me the best week of coffee I have ever had — every one of his creations was perfection!

Jeevan was great fun throughout the week and even agreed with my slightly crazy suggestion that the medal ceremony should include an award for sheer effort at trapeze!

Silver and the entire circus team were exceptional. Every member of our family progressed in our trapeze journey thanks to their patient teaching, encouragement and clear commitment to safety. Their focus on helping guests learn and succeed gave us the confidence to reach new levels and keep striving for more. A truly outstanding team.

Thank you also to Edo at archery. Floating Fit was another highlight: Matthew and James each bring a different, wonderful approach to the activity, and I would wholeheartedly recommend trying both.

The water sports teams were fantastic. The snorkelling team was the best we have experienced — always happy to support our adventures. As they got to know our abilities, their encouragement helped us develop our skills and confidence. We also had the best banana boat ride on a choppy sea day, alongside brilliant advice and support as beginner bodyboarders.

Yoga was the one aspect of our stay that I felt could be improved. The classes followed a set programme, with little room for adapting to individual abilities. I was beyond the basic aerial yoga level but not yet at the advanced standard, and hoped for some flexibility, particularly with only two participants in the advanced class. I tried power yoga another day but unfortunately found it equally unwelcoming. A warmer approach, with modifications and encouragement for different abilities, would make a real difference. If this is your first experience of yoga, please don’t let it discourage you: yoga can be welcoming, adaptable and uplifting, and should leave you feeling more at peace.

We came away with happy memories, new skills and a real appreciation for the people who made these eight days so special. Thank you, Club Med Bintan, for a wonderful family holiday!
