My 2D1N stay @
The Canopi, Bintan with my Family & Colleagues.
(Company Event/D&D)
The Treasure Bay, Bintan was a short 5 mins bus ride from the Ferry Terminal.
(Note: The Canopi's main reception entrance was under renovation so we entered the resort through The Treasure Bay).

| My Fish & Chip Lunch that took FOREVER to arrive @ Warna Warni Restaurant |
I was really quite bumped about lunch - dishes took more than an hour to be served, the waiters (a good 6-7 of them, or more) were all standing around, avoiding eye contact. Everything was just... incredibly slow. From arrival at the restaurant (approx~12:45 JKT time) to check-in time (15:00 JKT time), the whole duration was spent at the restaurant (and that's excluding the time taken to pay the bill).
BUT, with that said, I'll give them the benefit of doubt - that they were probably not prepared to face a large crowd of diners (we did take up approx 90% of the seats in the restaurant).

| Lagoon-view Tent! (We drew lots on the types of Tents prior to the trip) |

The interior of the Tent: |
^ Sofa turned into beds as I had 4 to a tent
The man-made lagoon that's picture-perfect:

| Our dinner set-up |
 |
| Our Recreation Club Committee bought fireworks... 😆 -things to do outside of SG- |
International Breakfast (the next morning):
 |
| The Treasure Bay, Bintan Entrance |
 |
| You could rent this scooters (for a fee) to ride around the resort area... |
Post-thoughts:
It was my 1st time in Indonesia (despite it being just that small resort part of it)... The fireworks during dinner was really the highlight for me (hearsay: it was cheaper than hiring a live entertainment band 😆).
Would I come again? - perhaps a couple of years later (with friends, LOL).
