This hotel has changed management and is now called a bit too pompously the Grand Luley Resort and Dive Center. I stayed there last October (nights of October 23-24], on my way to many more days on Bunaken and Banggka islands. Hotel has been renovated and is now clean and better looking than some old reviews describe. All was well,... More

Eacaped for a long weekend and booked the Santika at the last minute. We chose based on the pictures and positive reviews. The hotel doesn't match either the nice photos of clean linens, luxurious bed runners and crisp design. Instead rooms are old and badly in need of renovation. Service is poor with the notable exception of the barman. You... More

We booked two cottages and we got them right next to each other. There were two (double-sized) beds and a sofa in each room, the rooms were big and spacious and the bathroom was clean. Had a walk down the pier and snapped few beautiful pictures of the sunset. The only bad things are the pool wasnt clean, people swam... More

The hotel is set in a beautiful park-like setting which makes a lovely impression and the grounds are huge (you can walk towards the waterfront). Yes, the rooms could do with some renewal, but they are ok, biggish. The service is fine, and it has two restaurants (try the one near the water). The pools are large and the grounds... More

We stayed here for 2 weeks (end of april, half of may 2012). The hotel is mostly quiet, relaxed and very pleasant. They do except large conventions and wedding parties. Those days are a bit noicy, but overall this is only a minor inconveniance. Some reviewers mention the paint-jobs and maintenance levels. This is a seaside hotel, in a rural... More

it was our second stay at the resort, and this time we were with our 5-month old son. whilst the bungalow room do need some cosmetic up-grade, the overall cleanliness was superb. the towels and linen were fresh, and the attending staffs were so thoughtful providing us with extra bottled water knowing we were with a baby. swimming pool was...

This was once a grand resort. It's aging badly. The paint jobs are sloppy, the wood on the mirror is flaking, and the grout in the shower is coming lose. The room was reasonably clean, but not spotless by any means. The air conditioning worked well. We left the air on for the white noise. There are 4 rooms per... More

I stayed in this hotel again from 3. to 28.Oct 2011 and have been impressed by the positive changes which occured since my last visit in 2009. Quality of food has improved a lot, staff seemed to be well trained, friendly and helpful and everything has been well organized and punctual, which is not normal in this part of the... More

We stayed here 3 nights to rest (our second stay here, 4 years ago we stayed here too). This hotel is very beautiful located close to the sea, in the middle of nature, but far away from town. The hotel has a free shuttle which goes daily (to order little bit in advance) to the shopping mall in town, arriving... More
