If you’re on Bintan and want the best wine list, service and ambience on the island you can’t go past The Sanchaya. We dined at the Dining Room and had cocktails before hand. The food quality is world class, so too the service. Bimo and Ron at the bar and restaurant you guys are awesome. Yohan and I’m so sorry to forget our other waiters name were equally wonderful. After dinner we wanted to watch the F1 Grand Prix. Lina and team managed to get this setup on the big screen TV. So if you’re on Bintan and have run out of options at other resorts contact The Sanchaya. Of course world class high quality wine, service and food doesn’t come cheap so do your research. The last we stayed in June 2023 things haven’t changed. Greg is still the GM and sets a high bar for his staff that they achieve very well. Thanks to The Sanchaya team for a wonderful night. You are world class.

From the moment you step off the ferry into the dedicated Sanchaya lounge to the moment you leave the experience is excellent. The property itself feels more like a colonial country house party and because of the intimate nature of the resort meeting and chatting to like minded people is easy. The weekend ‘vibe’ is ex-pats living & working in Singapore. When we arrived only about half of the 29 rooms were occupied and we were very grateful that we were upgraded to an enormous suite (part American Express Platinum and part the kindness of the hotel). Food, service, setting, accommodation excellent. We will certainly return. Thanks to Greg & hit team! Edward & Melanie

One of the best hotel we ever did, everything is perfect, there is a private beach, a pristine pool, 2 restaurants. This place is really quiet, you do not feel that they are other guests. There is a chef onsite who can cook for you. The food is delicious, the breakfast too. They put water in your room on a daily basis, same for the swimming pool, there is a basket with complimentary water waiting for you. The staff is kind, smiling and welcoming. We will definitely come back.

What a wonderful recent stay mid March 2024 at the Sanchaya! So good we changed our plans in nearby Singapore to return twice in one week! If it hadn't been for the Taylor Swift concert we wouldn't have gone back to Singapore! The experience of rest and relaxation begins as soon as you arrive at the VIP Bintan Island Ferry Terminal. Every member of staff (Artisans) we met was incredibly attentive to our needs. We were treated as if we were family arriving home. The property is beautifully designed with a great range of amenities in our room and on the estate. There are lots of activities to do as well as plenty of space for relaxation, the Blo Kart was great fun and the massage after was needed to relax before sunset. The food was exceptional! So good that we got recipes to take home to try! Thank you so much to Greg, Nawa, Madon, Fadil, Elma, Yohan, Agus, Didi, Fanji and everyone else we met on our stay. You made us feel at home in Paradise and memories to last for a lifetime! We hope to come back again next year.

We could only stay one night and it was not enough! Stunning property, fantastic food and well above average service. The staff were friendly , attentive and wonderful. Very comfortable bed and pillows, quiet and serene property. Highly recommend.
