Excellent experience to do yoga near the beach.

Aerial yoga was excellent! My first experience! Name of instructor Juli was very detailed, i could understand

All thanks to Benz, Ashay, Chef Asim, Ravi for taking great care of our family during our stay in Bintan Club Med. The food at the restaurant was impressive! The spread was never repeated and the choice of food was curated with considerable for guests with different diets. The service provided was inspiring too! They made the effort to know us and our preferences as well. It surely was a memorable experience and we will be back!

First time and won't be the last time. 2 joining rooms for family of 5 for 6 days. Youngest is 2.5yo.
First day, we were lost. Went to the room, didn't know where to find food while the kids were hungry. Found the snacks by the main bar and the finger food at the beach bar at 4pm, which was closing. Confused till 6.30pm for dinner.

2nd day onwards, older 2 joined the mini club, paid for youngest to attend petit club. Drop off was easy. Pack extra clothes, swim wear, goggles (label them! We lost one of ours), swim diaper for the petit club. Put them in a wet bag and separate the clean extra clothes in ziploc because the swim wear goes into the wet bag.
Big shout out to the mini and petit club teams for handling the kids. They have boundless energy for the kids and a fixed program for the week.

Couple time was great and we could take our time to explore each activity through the days. Joint family activity is at 4pm (you can miss this if you want), so all kids were there and ended off with pick up at 4.45pm. If weather is good by then, head to the beach, towards the left, head to the rocks to see fish, hermit crabs, and quiet waters without the blazing sun.

It so happened that there was wet weather earlier in the day for one of the days, and the kids headed off for a scavenger hunt. That was when head of the circus team Silver, Jamal, and Alicia were in the theater to do the indoor trapeze. Kept thinking it was the same as the flying one outside, and boy was I wrong. It was indoor performance style, so it was step by step guidance, allowing you to try again while taking turns. Good grip strength is highly recommended. I did rock wall and archery that day, and my hand kept slipping. The team was so encouraging! Don't want to spoil the ending of this activity. TLDR: head to the theater at 4pm if it rains for indoor trapeze or juggling. No prior alcohol, no prior injury, no current pain, no sunblock on arms and legs to participate.

The next day was bright and sunny, the kids had a rehearsal for their kids show (amazing event btw) at 4pm. I went to the flying trapeze, and the indoor session helped a lot in terms of expectation and some experience. The momentum made it so different. The goal of the activity is to prep you for the advanced catching session. Do it right, and you can have a go just 1hr15mins later. Silver, Sara, Ovi, and Alicia were there to guide us through the whole process. Safety, following instructions, confidence in the process, good grip strength, good flexibility to enjoy the whole activity.
Massive shout out to the circus team for the spectacular performances in the evenings and creating an unforgettable experience with the trapeze (indoor and outdoor).

Food was great. The live stations should be your main goal. The service is wonderful. Friendly staff who will go all out for you.

Best is to do your own laundry. They have a washing machine and dryer. Buy your tokens from the reception. Bring your own laundry detergent or buy liquid detergent from the L1 store.

Final tip: bring running shoes and crocs/sandals to do all activities. Be brave and try everything Club Med has to offer. If you just want to laze around (not recommended), it's all set up with food and drinks for you as well.
