 SEE
Go to Trikora Beach. It is beautiful and there are many seasports readily available.
Also, the primary rainforests, although reduced in size due to commercialism, they are still majestic and magnificent.

DO
Bintan has beaches and sea games, but it is also known to be a place for prostitution, unless this is what you are looking for. Bintan Resorts have fantastic golf.
You can also go island-hopping from the main ports. From Tanjung Pinang, going to a nearby island would only be about S$5-10.

EAT
Seafood in Bintan is fresh and affordable (about S$3-7/pax) and Tanjung Pinang has many restaurants, although they usually have sub-standard fans and minimal or gaudy decoration. However, service is good and waiters are friendly. There isn't always an English menu, so take a look at the Indonesian phrasebook and learn the basics.
Hygiene may be a problem, but restaurants here depend on repeat customers, so generally they will do their best to make sure you have an enjoyable experience.
