This is quite simply one of the best experiences I have ever had and I've been fortunate enough to have been to and stayed in some amazing places around the world. The people at the Nikoi have got just about everything right. It is not for everyone; if you simply can't get through the day without a double shot wet... More

It is particularly pleasing to read such a glowing review from someone who has reviewed so many other hotels. Indeed we are careful not to oversell the experience as we are the first to admit that it will not appeal to everyone - that is fine by us - we are only small and will stick to our approach as...

"The reviews are true! Nikoi is the perfect jaw dropping balance of Eco and 5 star. It provided the perfect balance of time together as a couple and time together as a family. The perfect balance of enough to do without having anything to do! From the minute our family (children aged 5 & 7) we were picked up from... More

Nikoi Island was everything I pictured it to be. The website painted a good impression of what to expect so do look through it in detail. What it didn't say though, was how much you would dread going back to reality after 2 nights. From getting off the boat from Bintan Ferry Terminal, to the check in at the island,... More

Experience nature in luxury. They are always respectful of what is best for the environment and you as a customer. I have been to only 5 or 6 resorts around Bintan area and this is the only one I have gone back to (3 times now) and want to return as often as possible. Perfect for family or friends of... More

Plusses: - Good, unpretentious food (included with room cost) - Extremely friendy and accommodating staff (one of the few places we felt comfortable leaving our child to be babysat) - Very private, separate and spacious villas - Easy trip from Singapore Drawbacks: - Beach / pool not great, but completely sufficient More

Thanks for your kind review. Great to hear you enjoyed the food and our friendly staff. I would just clarify that food is charged on a daily board rate which is separate from the accommodation cost. The board rate does include the cost of most activities. Thanks again. More

We recently visited Nikoi for an all-too-short two night stay with friends visiting from the UK. Nikoi had been firmly on my bucket list for some time and I had high expectations. Not only were they met but I can honestly say that they were exceeded. The ambiance, the architecture of the beach houses and the way in which the... More

We visited Nikoi Island for the weekend with our family ( son, daughter in law and three grandchildren). Nikoi demonstrates great care in designing and creating a gentle respite from our busy and complicated world. The rooms are lovely, the beaches pristine, and the staff is friendly. The food, if not extraordinary, is fine. The price is very high, but... More

Thanks for your kind review. Great to hear you had a special time over on Nikoi. I have taken up your comments about cleanliness with our housekeeping team. Indeed it is not acceptable to have soap containers only half fill. We don't change the towels every day as it helps to reduce the impact on the environment. We are however... More

I had a wonderful experience from the time the reservation was made. The staff was very professional and all my questions were answered promptly. In terms of prices, I knew what to expect. All this was provided in the "Before You Go" file sent upon confirmation of my reservation. Prices are all subject to 21% tax so make sure you... More

We recently spent two nights there with our small children. I would not go back. The place is certainly charming and is far, far more tastefully done than most of the week-end resorts from Singapore. But compared to the best beach resorts we have been to in other regions, this is nothing special. And for the cost, it is poor... More

It is disappointing to read that whilst you enjoyed your stay you did not feel it represented good value for money. It is the privacy and space of a private island that we valued most in designing and developing Nikoi. As a result in limiting the numbers of guests and the size of the development it has meant that it... More

We stayed for 4 nights with our 2 kids. It was a truly amazing holiday, unlike any other we've had. Everyone fell in love with the friendly staff, who bent over backwards to entertain the kids (especially Yogi, Bembeng, Jordan and Ary). Our boys spent their days on wholesome activities like playing soccer in the sand, snorkeling, kayaking, jumping off... More
