A Rejuvenating Experience It was a very rewarding experience, in the lap of nature, away from the world of gadgets and gossip.
It was a pleasing sight entering our room when we saw that all the corners had an ethnic touch. The wooden furniture was strong and stylish.
Even though we basically wanted to relax, we still did activities like doing tie-dye in tee shirt. My daughter enjoyed archery and the short kayaking experience during the time of high tide was enchanting.
The food was awesome and what impressed us the most was the variety. Every meal was different and the taste still lingers in our mouth.
The staff was friendly and responsive, always catering to our request.
The visit to the farms and fishing village was a good exposure for my daughter.

I would like to thank the host, Isabelle, warm-heartedly for being kind and caring in every way. It was wonderful meeting her.

Over-all, a surreal experience, gaining solace with the ebb and flow of tides and sleeping peacefully with the soft sound of the lashing of the waves, in the background. (I have been to many sea side resorts, but never stayed so close to the sea. No risk involved though, the sea water surrounds the rooms only at high tide).

A trip that rejuvenated the mind and soul!!!

The Real Bintan Experience! Visited Loola over 2 nights - the trip was fulfilling! Did sooo many activities - mangrove kayaking, village cooking, got to see safe water gardens being built as well! Especially love what Loola does for local residents - providing safe waters by working with village chiefs.

We stayed in the Sabine villa - you can expect natural breeze in the living rooms, and aircon just above your beds (to save energy!) had good rests the 2 nights! End the day with a nice warm shower, and get ready for another full day of fun 🙂

Also, food’s all quite literally farm to table since farming is huge in Bintan!

Great place to chill out and take a break from urban civilisation we’re so used to! More

Mums’ and Daughters’ getaway I visited Loola with my 2 teenage girls and with my friend and her two daughters (one tween and one teenager). We received a warm welcome when we arrived at the resort (just an hour drive from the ferry terminal), and were assigned a dedicated trip concierge, Elsa, who showed us our rooms, planned our itinerary, and helped address any of our queries. After settling into our chalets, we were led to a private breezy dining pavilion where a home cooked lunch awaited us. After lunch, Elsa had the kayaks and kayak guides ready for our first activity. Kayaking was a blast and the sea was wonderfully warm. The next day, we were upgraded to the air conditioned villa rooms for free. We spent our second day with lots of activities on land and at sea. We ended the day with a fun and informative mangrove tour with lots of fire fly sightings. I rated this trip a 5 because of the warmth of the staff, their eager to please demeanor and their accommodating attitude to the various needs of our group. For example, my daughter’s slipper broke so a staff went out to the village and bought her a new pair of slippers to use 👍🏻. The entire trip was also great value for money. The price we paid included accommodations, 3 wonderful home cooked meals a day, a bbq dinner with bonfire on our last night, most activities...

Fun trip to Loola Adventure Resort We visited Loola Adventure Resort recently (Dec 2022) and had a great time. We were picked up at the ferry terminal on time and we're driven safely to the resort. The staff is very friendly, warm and hard working. The activities were all well planned. They were very good at following all the safety protocols and we're mindful of how to work with and encourage kids. My 6 year old daughter was so happy that she didn't want to leave the place.
Staff takes feedback well and act upon it quickly. They accommodated our vegetarian friendly diet.
In all it was a fun, adventurous trip and will highly recommend it for travelers who want to have fun and do all the wonderful activities they have there. More

Fun, summer camp like atmosphere I went with Loola with my small child (5), partner and adult friend. When we got to Loola, we found out we were the only ones there for the weekend and that we were upgraded to the villas from the chalets. The villas were very cute and nice rooms. We ate meals in three different locations but I think the living room location (up on the hill) was the best. We got to do a lot of activities that were really fun and especially enjoyed by my 5 year old. She went on the 12 meter tall flying fox 6 times. Unfortunately, the sky rope was not open and for some reason we didn't get to do the dragon boat. But we were pretty beat and satisfied with the activities we did do. We had a nice kayak trip out to the small islands, particularly the one that had mangroves. I recommend you spend some time exploring the mangroves by boat or even by foot - we probably should have spent more time there. The staff were very nice though at times things were not communicated super smoothly in English. We would have liked some nature guided walks on land and at low tide but weren't sure how to arrange that. Nevertheless we did our own walk at low tide and had a fun time spotting shrimp and fish. The mosquito situation was a bit annoying in the afternoons and... I went with Loola with my small child (5), partner and adult friend.

The mosquito situation was a bit annoying in the afternoons and evenings - so I recommend long pants or deet. Also, the boat ride was about twice as long as I thought and we ended up at the end of the customs line so it took an hour to get out to the parking lot. This isn't really the lodge's problem, but just something to be aware of - I guess you might want to sit near the door on the boat and be prepared for a longer journey. More

Great for active families with young and energetic kids We stayed in the Sabine Villa and it was huge. Extremely spacious and comfy, a great choice for friends or large families.

The activities at LooLa were unique and fun, creating a playground out of the natural environment. There were high elements (including some made out of coconut trees) and water activities like kayaking and sailing. Kids are sure to enjoy these.

The food and the views from the villa were great.

Very Relax Total get away without noise , wifi , TV and city life .
Great for friends / family to hang out for few days .
Enjoy my stay and the peoples there very very friendly and helpful.
Did I mention the food is very good ?
Go try it with a different kind of lifestyles .

Beautiful getaway from city life It was a beautiful experience as it was a chance for us to get away from city life. At first we were a bit shocked at the long travel time and crowded customs but it was understandable as it was a public holiday. Knowing that it was the first time since Loola was opened for a long time I must say the service is 5/5. Great for families and friends!! At such an affordable price I played all the water sports!!

Fun and for those who loves adventure must go:) It was fun and a lot of activities explore!!! Rock climbing, coconut climb, canoeing and various more! You can explore with afforable price and the foods are tasty and delicious for three meals a day! Their portion is not small so I think would be great to go as in groups!
