Siladen Resort & Spa

What an extraordinary place. Extremely comfortable cottages with lovely indoor/outdoor baths. Location is incredible along the coast of this small coral island. The staff are some of the friendliest, most helpful and kind I've ever met and of course, the diving is extraordinary!

Nothing.

The staff and customer service absolutely made this hotel- they remembered our names and made us feel like honoured guests. The food was delicious, with an excellent variety of vegetarian and pescetarian. Whilst we didn't have any other particular dietary requests, they checked in with us multiple times ahead of the reservation and on our arrival so I would be confident that these would be accommodated for if we had any. The rooms were comfortable with good Aircon, and the outdoor showers felt like a real luxury. We were in the garden view villa so didn't have direct beach access, but we quite enjoyed the view of palm trees and plant life from the bathroom! Whilst there we used the spa and snorkeling. Both were really well organised and the spa especially was exceptional- the traditional Indonesian and Balinese massages were absolute highlights of the trip for me! The snorkeling was amazing- I had never been before and the guides took us to an amazing location where we saw many turtles and fish amongst a diverse and colourful reef- absolutely worth doing if you are visiting! Most of the guests were avid divers but there were lots of options if that wasn't an option for you, and we didn't feel like we missed out by snorkelling instead. We felt really safe on the snorkelling trip (both of us were a bit anxious and felt very reassured). They also took reef conservation very seriously, which we were really pleased to see. My partner also surprised me with a romantic meal on the beach organised by the hotel, which was a 5 course delicious set menu, featuring some absolutely delicious fresh seafood that felt really special. The beach and the pool were also lovely - it's a hot island so having the space to cool down in the water was very much needed! We absolutely loved our time at Siladen and would absolutely recommend it to anyone and everyone!

The bill paying at the end can be a little daunting! Whilst prices with the optional extras (such as alcoholic beverages and spa treatments) were made clear to us, the snorkelling costs were slightly less clear overall. I think a snorkelling package option might have been nice so we knew the fixed cost. However, we felt the price was very reasonable, and we felt like the hotel had gone out of their way to make the prices clear, it was likely because we hadn't visited a diving resort before so were less familiar! So a little more clarity for newbies would have been nice there. But as it's a pay-at-the-end set up, would recommend anyone on a budget to keep an eye on costs as you go.

10 points on every aspect! It all started with a friendly welcome at the airport where we got picked up to transfer to island, once there we enjoyed a warm welcome and introduction to the resort and diving center, everyone from the staff knew our names after the first night, food was georgeous, the villas very clean and calm, very motivated dive guides - just a perfect place to relax & dive

Nothing - hopefully not our last time at Siladen

Remote setting, great snorkelling, varied buffet style food, great pool and relaxing beach

All the extra’s does add up.

We loved everything about our trip to Siladen Resort. The resort itself, the spa, the diving and the food were all fantastic. We would absolutely visit Siladen again in the future.

Siladen is really special. The grounds, rooms- all of the facilities are perfect. The best part, though, is the staff. Everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable.

Great location for diving and snorkeling. Staff very friendly

Internet very slow. Arrival at airport took a very long time to clear immigration. No real house reef

Our stay at Siladen was fabulous. The snorkeling on the house reef was full of hard and soft corals with so much to see. The dive boats took us out to some amazing places which we really enjoyed. The boats are all in good condition and well kept. The dive staff was knowledgeable, friendly and professional. The room was beautiful and clean. There was free wifi. The food was really good and varied. There was usually a large buffet and also a station where they prepared your order. On two occasions it was a sit down service. Lots of good options. They had really nice entertainment, including the local town choir. The spa...well I would go back just for the spa. They had free yoga classes and an informational talk about marine life (nudibranchs) one night. Very inclusive atmosphere among the guests and staff. Staff was super efficient if there was ever a problem. Very welcoming management. Great stay!
