Fantastic accommodation. Brand new, very spacious, lovely people and great food. We had a great time and we will definitely be back one day.

We love Kelong Trikora! It's an amazing place, my husband (Indian Singaporean) and I (German) spent 4 days there over Chinese New Year. The team there, especially Linda and Eric, set a new standard to customer service! They are so deeply caring for each guest, it's touching. When it rained they placed an umbrella outside of every villa, so that guest wouldn't get wet on their way to dinner, when we wanted to go on a trip and the hotel driver was unavailable Linda called several taxi companies and in the end offered to drive us with the staff car, even when the fan did not immediately work three people showed up and got it fixed within 10mins. Kelong Trikora is a very quiet resort with a beautiful pool and 10 separate huts. The cuisine is out of this world, even though the menu is a bit limited (focus on Indonesian and Chinese), so many of the dishes were simply the best (can recommend the fish curry, the sotong bakar, the kailan and kangkong and as daily special chicken satay, each main about 180K, veggies 75-90K). It takes about an hour from the ferry terminal Bandar Bintan Telani (Lagoi) and from the resort we went to the blue lakes and sand dunes (1hr drive, absolutely worth it!). We tried the restaurants in the two resorts next to this and got utterly disappointed, food was horrible and the service even worse, so we would next time just stick to the resort kitchen. All the staff is very nice and chitchatty if you're open to it, but not forcing conversations upon anybody. For my husband's birthday I asked them to please help me get a chocolate cake and they got a super cute beautiful cake for me. The only thing to keep in mind is that you're dependant on the hotel's transport (so plan a bit in advance and let them know) and that during low tide the water draws back about 1km, so not really for swimming in the sea, but the pool is amazing and the whole area is covered in nice fluffy green grass, so nice to walk around barefoot.

Relaxed. Nothing was too much trouble. Drinking water always available. Lovely menu, too 😊

Distance was the issue..Employee were helpful n friendly.

Hotel and service was decent. Location is too far from nearest jetty of North and South of island.

The service staff, everyone is friendly, helpful and always with a smile. The kitchen staff are so accommodating with my food requests and remembers what I like / don't like. Appreciate the thoughtfulness. The room is basic and clean, the accommodation is at a location where I can see both sunrise (from my room) AND sunset (I paddled out and looked towards the shore. How wonderful to wake up to the view and the sound of the sea breeze, rustling leaves and chirping birds. Love it!! They have bikes for you to cycle and explore the island.

We enjoyed our stay at Trikora. This is the second time we have stayed here, and we will definitely be back! The property is peaceful, with lots of open green space, simplicity at its best, and located directly on the ocean. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast this time was better than the first time we stayed. Last time, they had a breakfast buffet which lacked options, but this time, breakfast was al a carte and was very delicious. The massages at the spa are incredible! I highly recommend booking a Balinese massage when you are there. The rooms are spacious, clean and very comfortable with aircon, good beds, nice showers, mini fridge and TVs. It's a place to bring a book or a deck of cards/games and have a very relaxing time with the family, unwinding from city life in Singapore!
