Sadi Beach House — Restaurant in Riau Islands

CLEAN ROOM - I went there for my honeymoon. The room was clean, spacious and cozy. All the amenities provided were sufficient and in excellent condition. I could not find any flaws in your facilities. The size of the seaview villa was spacious! The lawn was huge and the bathroom was the star of the show. The open-sky concept of the bath tub was indeed special one. You could dip in your warm bath literally under the cool night stars.

GREAT ENVIRONMENT - The ambient was quiet and perfect for couple getaway. Don't worry, you would have the entire villa to yourself, so you won't be distracted by other guests. The staff there were super friendly and helpful in fulfilling your requests. The view was 100/100!

ACTIVITES - There were many complimentary activities for the guests. You can swim in the pool, play games or kayaking in the beautiful sea. We even booked a snorkeling trip to a nearby kelong through the hotel. Don't worry, the transportation to and fro would be handled by them!

DINNER - We went to a nearby kelong for our dinner, the Kelong Elly. But you can have your dinner at the cafe in Sadi, the food looked good too!

BREAKFAST - The selection for breakfast was vast. You have ample of choices of food to choose from. From local dishes to western English breakfast. You will be provided with complimentary English breakfast and single ala-carte meal to choose from. Just look at the photo and decide for yourself. The foods were out of this world!

But there were few things to consider; Since the resort is secluded out in the nature, it would be useful to have a mosquito repellent along with you. It was low tide in the morning, so there were not much activities to do in the morning. Hence, you can start doing the water activity...

We booked the sea view room. It was a lovely relaxing holiday. Upon check in the room was spotless. Landscaping is beautiful even the plants in the bathroom. The general feel is that a lot of thought and love is put into keeping the resort in tip top shape.

Service is also impeccable throughout the stay.

It's nice that there are other food options nearby. We had lunch once at the kelong restaurant next door which was decent. We had all our other meals (for a 3 night stay) in the resort. Their food is pretty decent as well.

We booked a snorkeling trip through the resort. The boat picked us up right in front of the resort and a short (5-10 minute) boat ride to the kelong where the snorkeling was. There was also kayaking which was a pleasant surprise.

We booked the massage as well and it was amazing!

While there is sea view, there are also long kelongs and jetties on both sides of the resort. So if you like unblocked ocean view, this is not the place for you.

Cons: (1) Take note that there is no beach to walk along or swim. The resort is build on stilts atop a beach. Contributing to the relax feel and great views from the bed! But if you wanted a resort with beach access, this is not it. (2) There are many geckos and mosquitos. So bring repellant (the resort does provide this) or electric repellant from home. Don't keep towels or toiletries in the outdoor bathroom as lizard poop appears overnight. Also expect geckos in the bathroom after 5ish pm (in October at least). So we didn't make use of the outdoor bathtub at night as we are afraid of lizards. A braver person could possibly enjoy a...

Love this place! We stayed 3D2N with Sadi Beach, their service is top notch. Special thanks to Ocha for making our stay comfortable, she assisted us with all arrangements required.

Overall: We had pickup and drop off transfer arranged (we wanted to get some snacks and Ocha arranged with driver to stop by a recommended shop before sending us to terminal upon departure), rented the electric bike from them, had almost all meals at the resort itself (food is good), did kayaking and massage with them as well. Nothing much in the surrounding area, good for those who wants to relax and spend time at the resort chilling like us.

Room: It's quiet and tranquil, very relaxing with a direct view of sunrise and sea. There's limited units so don't have to worry about overcrowding- very exclusive and friendly place. There's separate open air shower and bathtub.

Recommended improvements: Would be great if there are more varieties in the menu, so we could stay longer next trip and have all meals from the resort 😂 Have options to rent normal scooter instead of electric scooter, as e-scooter has a hard time going up slopes 😅 There's mosquitoes and lotsa flying insects at night (across the whole Trikora area probably). Maybe an electric mosquitoes killer trip would work best?

Nevertheless, we love this place. Thank you for taking care of us, surely...
