I did my research (and had done plenty of research in years prior) to my first visit to Belitung. Options used to be extremely limited, however accommodation of varied levels are now opening up in Belitung. In my opinion, Belitung Holiday Resort is by far the best option for families. The 2 bedroom bungalows are perfect for this. Not only are there two bathrooms, the rooms are huge. The pool has a shallow section for kids and a larger, deeper section for adults. The advertised indoor photos of the rooms have the curtains shut which makes the rooms less appealing than they are in actuality. Although there are no fences between the bungalows and the road and other bungalows, there are privacy curtains that still let in light and views without letting others see in unless it's brighter inside. Mr Fadhlin is an extremely friendly hotel manager and really is an asset to the hotel. Whilst the restaurant was quiet, the food was still delicious. Make the most of seafood whilst in Belitung! If you're a Westerner who doesn't want o eat Indonesian food for breakfast, don't expect much beyond some eggs and toast with jam and peanut butter. Although I am not Indonesian, I can speak Indonesian, so I cannot vouch for experiences for those who cannot speak it. Nevertheless, the Belitungese are extremely easy-going. For a 1 hour trip out of Jakarta, the pace of life here is something else. Also note that I didn't stay in a single-bedroom room, so your mileage may vary if you do so.
