The overall environment is OK, there are not too many people, it is enough to play on the beach to see the sea, and you can catch some marine animals when the tide is low. It is a bit remote, there are too few types of food and beverages, and the water in the pool is not too clean.

This is definitely the best resort in Manado. Although it is a little far from the city (but the absolutely beautiful sea view must be far from the city), it has its own pier and dive shop. Who knows my family, why there are no Chinese people staying here.
I went to stay at 2 pm, and I arrived more than an hour early. There were welcome drinks and sandwiches (I really didn't expect sandwiches), which was very considerate. The resort is small but very beautiful, with a very, very good sunset, and saw the blues moment. I booked a waterfront room, and the sea is right outside the door. It was suffocating. Where can I find such a room at this price! ! ! And the room is very large. I didn't take a photo of the shower area. It was clean and large, and the decoration was unique. (Can you take a new photo of the official website? Your resort is amazing, and the photos in Ctrip are too ugly)
Dinner starts at 7 o'clock. Because it is far from the city, I basically choose to eat in the hotel. The price is OK and the taste is OK. After all, I am really not used to the dishes in Manado, but this one is OK.
This must be a great resort for divers. It has its own dive shop, its own speedboat, and daily dive site itinerary. It really exceeded my expectations. I will definitely come to Cocotinos again next time I come to Manado.
The staff said that their boss is Italian, and he wrote me a handwritten thank-you letter when I left💌This kind of service is really touching. I hope your business will get better and better. Friends who come to Manado to dive should take a look at this store💗100 points recommended

Guest UserAfter seeing some Videos about Grand Luley in the internet we really wanted to enjoy that ”enchanted” atmosphere of that wonderful garden leading to that jetty towards the mangroves. And we were not dissapointed.
After a short 30 Minutes transfer from Manado city we arrived a little early but immediately could check in in our room. And...what a room. We booked a deluxe premiere room and it was unbelievable spacious with a good bed, good aircon, sitting area and a terrace with a small lawn over the main garden. Just around the corner of the swimming pool and close to the jetty and..in front of our room was a complimentary water dispenser (!).
Regarding the Pool...it was large and surounded by coconut-palms. Umfortunately i did not really trust the coconuts directly over the ways and sun loungers. So especially when it is windy...look up and be careful.
The restaurant had a good range of food but the prices were on the higher side. Approx 25 - 40 % over average Mantos-Restaurant Prices and it tasted very good - expect the Black Pepper Beef. I don´t know, if the had a bad day with the beef, but it was tough and gristly.
The Breakfast selection was o.k., even some good Croissants and on one day dadar gulung (green Pandan-flavoured Crepes with coconut/sugar-filling) , but the coffee...well... more tea like water with coffee taste and after we asked they brought us real coffee/cappuccino.
The hotel also offers comlimentary transfers to and from Mantos (Manado Town Square - the biggest Shopping Mall in Manado). GOOD!
Especially because in the surrounding of the hotel is just a small village with a few basic local food options and two small supermarkets in approx 8 Minutes walking distance.
And a Souvenit-tip: The hotel offers black T-shirts with four different motives: A tarsier, a dolphin, a turtle and a Minahasa-Warrior - all with ”Grand Luley” on one Arm. One small motif tag on the front and a big one on the back. Really good fabric-qualitiy and now - back in Germany - i regrett that i only bought one.
After all a very nice hotel with great atmosphere - especially in the evening with all the enchanted lights on.

Guest UserWow..the AMARIS Hotel really surprised us. It was the cheapest of 5 Hotels of our Trip to Manado and surrounding and surprised us the most.
It is perfect located in the ”Kawasan Megamas”, close to restaurants, shops (unfortunately the second biggest Mall - MEGAMALL was closed due to a fire damage), the seaside and meeting points for the people of Manado to enjoy the evening. In the same building (just aut the main entrance and around the right corner) is a supermarket for all important needs and fantastic Cappuccino (for only 15.000 Rp.)
The building is very new, the rooms and bathes are spotless clean. There is a small pool with a great fiew over Manado bay towards Manado Tua and Bunaken.
The breakfast selection is sufficient ...but most important: every offered dish tastes fantastic and in many aspects it was better there than in many ”Star”-hotels with bigger choice but boring food. And they also had an egg station for fresh eggs and a kettle of ”Bubur Manado” (or: Tinutuan.) a must try.
The Staff was friendly and efficient.
Allthough there was no water kettle in the room there was a hot/cold water dispenser on each floor.
Any disadvantages?
O.k.: It is important to consider that the rooms are very small. Especially for two long distance travellers with big bagpacks. But for some days it´s o.k.. But: The bed is comfortable, the TV offers youtube and the aircon works perfectly.
One issue for weekends...directly beside th hotel is a big place. When we were there there were concerts on two evenings - so it can be a little loud (but in all kawasan Megamas) on weekends or special events.
All in all: Currently the best value for money in Kawasan Megamas and a good place to have all the comfort of a hotel within the city before continuing rto beach-, mountain- or jungle hotels.
Thank you / Terima kasih AMARIS

MoguziyizhiThe sea view from this place is absolutely stunning. I stayed here for two nights in Manado as a layover before going diving in Raja Ampat. I arrived at the hotel at 7 AM on the day of check-in and was able to pay an extra 250,000 IDR at the front desk for an early check-in, and they even upgraded my room. On the day I left, my flight was at 8 PM, and I paid another 250,000 IDR to extend my check-out until 4 PM. Overall, everything was great, and the front desk service was excellent. However, the bathroom felt a bit old and run down, probably because the hotel itself is older and the bathroom maintenance hasn't been great. There's an Italian restaurant downstairs called Amicoo which was quite good, although the service was a bit slow.

drimmaGood stay overall
I stayed at favehotel Bitung in North Sulawesi for a few days. The location is convenient, close to the city center and main roads. The room was clean, simple, and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful, check-in was smooth.
The breakfast was decent, though not a lot of variety. Wi-Fi worked well most of the time. The air conditioning and hot water functioned properly.
Overall, a good and practical place to stay. Not luxury, but worth the price.

darkbuleConveniently located right by the sea, with a large shopping center nearby, making dining and shopping very easy. However, the sea view rooms only offer a partial sea view. Check-in isn't until 12 PM, so if you arrive early, you'll just have to wait. Accommodation, shopping, dining, and taxis are all quite affordable in this city, with prices lower than back home. The urban development is rather basic, comparable to a county town in China, but the beach water quality is excellent, clear and transparent.

Hotel was in an excellent location with my room facing the full sea view. Furniture is dated but overall cleanliness is acceptable. Breakfast wasn't fantastic but not shabby either.

Guest UserThe staff are responsive and friendly, with good English skills. The cleaning is excellent, and it's quiet at night. Jeremy organized and led a fantastic tour of 4 waterfalls for us. The breakfast is good. The hotel has many posters that create a positive atmosphere. The location is excellent. We recommend it.

Rex DuThis stay exceeded my expectations! The hotel was clean and fresh overall, the room had great natural light, and the soundproofing was exceptional – I couldn't hear any hallway noise at all. The bedding was soft and comfortable, the washroom had a great wet/dry separation, and all the amenities were well-stocked. The front desk staff were warm, polite, and efficient with check-in, patiently answering all my questions. The location is excellent, just a few minutes' walk to the subway and shopping malls, with tons of great food options nearby. It's truly a standout for its price point. I'll definitely choose this place again next time I'm in town, highly recommend it to everyone!
