Singapore, 5 April 1999 - Spanish hotel chain Sol Meliá
today announced the completion of an extensive refurbishment of its second
Bintan property, the Sol Mayang Sari.
Completed at a cost of S$1.5 million, the programme which extended to all 56 guest chalets, public areas and restaurants. The lobby and main entrance reflect the Indonesian village style charm of the property, with the inclusion of fish ponds, plants, Indonesian lanterns and traditional batik motifs to the design. A new system of assigning typical sea pictograms to designate various areas of the property is carried through these batik motifs. Each single storey chalet has retained its former Indonesian village style thatched roof architecture. Each chalet bedroom is appointed with traditional Indonesian seaside themes through new upholstery and the inclusion of Balinese carvings and hand painted Indonesian pictures which lend a rustic ambience to the bedrooms, newly renovated bathrooms with new amenities, and terraces. All chalets are air-conditioned with multi-channel cable colour televisions, radios, IDD telephones and an extensive mini-bar. Sol Mayang Sari's food and beverage facilities have also been enhanced with the introduction of the MTV Lounge which features a wide variety of cocktails and snacks to the beat of popular music, and the new Bintan Disco which features an extensive drinks menu. These are in addition to the refurbished Mayang Terrace restaurant and the Pondok Kelapa beach bar.
