Club Med Bintan Island

Hi there

My partner and I are travelling to Italy in late September/October and we're thinking of doing an Asian stop-over on the way home, and having a few days of sun, sand and relaxation at Club Med.

We're considering flying to Italy from Australia on Singapore Airlines, so we could spend a few days at Bintan.

I understand that Bintan is quite close to Singapore. Is this CM suited to a short break, would we better off going to Cherating, Phuket or even Mauritius instead? Any idea on what the weather is like in mid-late October?

We are going to be making our own way all around Italy, mostly staying in small hotels (although we might visit Kamarina!), so it would be nice to kick back at CM for a few days and have a rest.

Thanks!
