Good service and very friendly staff. However resort requires a real upgrade in view of the prices for accommodation and especially food. Restaurants carry a singapore price tag but quality is low with a lot of ready made food and not freshly prepared, do not try the fruit shakes at the pool bar...

This is my 5th stay with Nirwana and our 1st at the Banyu Biru villas. My husband, my brother-in-law and myself stayed at a 2 bedroom Villa for 3 nights 4 days for my husband's birthday celebration. Although the villas are in dire need for upgrades, the villa was clean and tidy and the aircon worked perfectly as did the... More

The villa was not new (15-20 years old ?) but clean and very spacious (ground floor) and had airco in the two bedrooms (upstairs), which was very comfortable : it gave us have great nights ! The bathroom was rather small but OK since we were outdoors most of the time. Turning staircase, OK for adults and our children of... More

The photos on the website is absolutely deceiving, as the actual property is so run-down that it needs refurbishment immediately. Cupboard doors are falling off the hinges, the sofa is uncomfortable to sit on and the covers feel and look like they have not been washed for a loooong time. They provide you with free wifi but tell you to... More

My extended family stayed 2 nights over a weekend, taking 2 back-to-back villas. Overall, I would say we enjoyed the stay and below are my comments. Villas - I've seen mixed reviews in this website and was prepared for the worst. Perhaps we managed to draw the long straw as our unit was not bad for a resort that's been... More

As an expat living in Singapore who has visited Bintan about 10 times, I have to say that I found the Banyu Biru Villas at Nirwana Gardens "OK". There were pluses and minuses. On the plus side: 1) I took a lot of my own food and was able to save quite a lot of money not dining in the... More

My family and I decided to stay at Banyu Biru Villas @ Nirwana Gardens Resort on Bintan Island as it was somewhere new to go and a great change to Bali.... Due to work commitments, I opted for the Idul Fitri Indonesian (Muslim) holiday - probably the busiest time of the year. Initial impressions were good; wide open lobby, traditional... More

The Banyu Biru Villas look nice but unfortunately only from the outside. Once you step inside, you realize how run down are the villas! My last visit was 10 years ago and it looks like nothing has been done to maintain the villas: the villas are really run down. They should be entirely repainted, the bathrooms have added visible pipes,... More

Our villa's just 3 mins from the beach, with a porch facing the sea. Spacious and simple. There are 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, a kitchen, a dining area and a living room. Generally clean and acceptable. There's a buggy service that comes to us whenever we call (even though the person may have some difficulty understanding English). The shuttle... More
