Spa trip to Angsana Spa Resort @ Bintan!

Finally went on my long awaited spa trip with Dar @ Bintan!!! This time round, we gave Agro Beach Resort a pass and went to the more atas side of Bintan - Angsana Spa Resort!

The room is nice...and beach is nice (gosh I really love the sea there...cos the sand is so white and soft and the waves are so gently smooth!)...food wise...I guess I can only comment that it is MAD expensive!!!

(Upon reaching ferry terminal~)

It was a 3D2N trip there...but for our first day there...Dar was running a fever and so after we settled down and had our lunch at the cafe in the resort, we went back to the room so that Dar can have some medication and have some sleep while I laze around in the room by myself! hahax...but was really good...cos I finally had some quiet time to myself (away from the computer, away from work and everything in back in SG) to read my book and sip on some tea at the balcony overlooking the greens and beach...=D

(The room we stayed in~)



(the Cafe~)

(Our lunch...the Phad Thai cost USD13!)



(Nice pool there!)




(Here's us have a walk after lunch~)

After Dar woke up, we went out to Pasar Oleh Oleh (a centralized tourist area) to have a walk. I had a 1-hour body massage there before we had dinner at a restaurant we went once last time.

(Here's dinner @ one of the restaurants at Pasar Oleh Oleh...nothing fantastic though...)



(Oh and nothing beats some cheesecake with tea back in the room! Hiaks~talk about diet with me? HAHA!)

The next morning was rise and shine to breakfast buffet at the cafe! We had quite a filling breakfast before we went back to the room to change into our beach wear to conquer the sunny weather and white beach! The sun was scorching hot by the time we reached the beach...so we stayed in the shelter lying down to enjoy the breeze before heading down to the waters much later~

(Our breakfast~)

And I got thirsty after a while, so Dar ordered a glass of orange juice for me...And you might be stunned to know a glass of orange juice there cost USD10!!! See what I mean when I say the food there is expensive? Felt like a carrot being chopped there! -.-'' And not to mention...I got more tanned! Zzz...

(The nice beach~)



(erm...the USD10 orange juice!)



(Us by the beach!)

After the beach session, we headed back to have a shower and order room service for our lunch...once again a mee goreng that cost us USD13~Zzz...

(Really...I dunno how it's worth USD13! haha...okie..i shall get over it! =p)

After lunch, I went for my awesome spa treat while Dar stayed in the room with his book and rested! teehee...and oh mi gosh...i have to give credit to the Angsana Spa because despite the fact that it's doubly more expensive then the ones I pay for when I'm at Agro beach...Superly awesome can?!?! I did the Ayu-Reverie (150-minute session) which comprise of 60-min Ayurvedic massage, 30-min Shirodhara and 30-min Indian head massage...at USD120++ though I initially felt it was a little too expensive for a 2hour spa at bintan...it was all worth it when the session ended! Totally enjoyed the session! It's a MUST-TRY if you're going there! =D

(The awesome spa place where I spent 2 hours in! Love every minute of it!!)



(Here's me with the ginger tea and yummy carrot cake - all rejuvenated!)

Feeling all rejuvenated after the awesome spa session, I went back to the room to meet up with Dar before heading over to the seaside BBQ grill restaurant for our dinner! Unfortunately, cos the place was fully booked when we went..we had to go back about an hour later..which resulted in most of the seafood being sold out! =(((( But we still enjoyed the time spent together by the beach...the breeze was really cooling! Another thing I have to give credit to the staff at Angsana is the attitude towards their customers! I only merely asked if they have Avocado juice cos I've had a craving since I reached Bintan...and though they don't have it...they actually went over to Banyan Tree resort just to get it for me instead of just saying No! I was impressed with their service! *Thumbs up*

(Us by the beach for grilled dinner~)



(The hard to sought Avocado...hurhur~)



(Some pizzas and grilled prawns~)

After dinner, Dar and I walked along the beach, chit chatting and *digesting* our food! hahax...I love simple moments like this TTM!

(I know this looks more like a vague painting...but it's the view taken while we're walking down the beach with barely any lights~)

And nothing much after Day 2...Day 3 was just sleeping in late and then breakfast before we checked out...Had wanted to go for another massage but it was all fully booked! *Sads* So we went to the beach to lie around and relax, had lunch @ the BBQ Grill place before our bus came to pick us up to the ferry terminal and it was Good Bye to Angsana Spa Resort!

Thanks to Dar for the trip and for accompanying me though he wasn't feeling well! <3<3<3!!!
