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.

Everything was smooth from check-in to check-out, and I really enjoyed my stay. I’d happily recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and pleasant place to stay.

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.

The resort is close to the left of the Blue and Blue Strait. The location is often good for divers, but the resort is very biased. There is no restaurant convenience store. There is another diving resort Yos next door. There is a small fishing village across the road. The store, the goods are incomplete (the shelf life is worrying), The price is still expensive, it is recommended to buy enough snacks and drinks in the convenience store before coming. The overall condition of the room is OK, the air-conditioning refrigerator is available, but there is no window, in fact, there is no window, the shower condition is very good, 24 hours hot water, the temperature is stable. The restaurant in the resort tastes good, because the resort is opened by the Singaporean owner, so the cook should be trained. But the price of the dish is not cheap, and an additional payment totals 21% of the consumer service tax. 95% of the divers who choose to play here are divers who play in the water. After checking in, they said that they need to dive. The front desk will tell the diving center about the needs. The private dive guide will take you to the diving center. The service is very thoughtful. The key is that almost all the dive guides will find small things. Everyone is a micro-dive guide. The diving price is equivalent to rmb350 one dive during the day, 500 one dive at night, and600-700 one dive in Black Water. An additional payment is required for a total of 21% consumption service tax. However, diving fees for more than 2 days are 20% off, and tax and equipment rental fees are not discounted. It is recommended that IDR and credit card pay, never pay in US dollars, the exchange rate is extremely unfriendly, I pay in US dollars, and I lose the exchange rate difference equivalent to RMB 1500. The big injustice is me 😭. In general, diving in blue and blue is expensive, but expensive is not to go back and forth to the city and blue every day, people are not tired, and microbiome is rich.

It was great to be able to enjoy the natural scenery/sea views and the beauty of the mountains of Old Manado.
I booked several rooms for my family. I wish there were rooms for all of us, so we could rest together.

KIM SOUTH KOREAI stayed for 4 nights in the old wing of the resort.
Room: The space was generous and comfortable, and the bed mattress was pleasant, but the bathroom/shower showed signs of age.
Pool: It was 50m long and the water quality was good, but it didn't operate late. The kids' pool, in particular, was excellent.
Restaurant: It was spacious and pleasant, but the food selection was the same for all 4 days, though it was palatable.
Other facilities: The gym and ping-pong room were great to use.
The resort's walking paths and photo-worthy spots were nice, and the jetty offered beautiful sunsets.
The price was so good that I would definitely consider staying here again if I revisit Manado.

Stayed at this hotel for a diving trip. The facilities are pretty good for Manado, the best part was the shower – excellent water pressure and no clogs, which is a rare find! As for hygiene, it's acceptable for Indonesia. The spa, however, was disappointing. It's twice the price of local spas, and the service is quite mediocre, much worse than what you'd find in China, Thailand, or the Philippines. I wouldn't recommend it.

Mario PantowI stayed here for a night. If you’re looking for a hotel with “unique” experiences, this one’s for you! The check-in was smooth, and the bed was decorated with abstract stains – perhaps part of the charm? Luckily, no soap to wash away the memory in the room. When asked, the staff, oh so polite, reassured me that the soap “could be conditioned” – whatever that means! And, the cherry on top: a delightful three-minute delay for a room check, just to make sure I didn’t snag a complimentary pen. I left feeling like a lottery winner who hit the jackpot of mediocrity. Truly a stay to remember! 🎉
