Adventures in Bali: Hotel Santika Siligita Nusa Dua

Hello! Hello! Hello! I'm back!!!

Matagal tagal din akong hindi nagparamdam ano? Gaya nga ng sinabi ko sa isa kong post, we went to Bali for a vacation. This will be my last trip abroad bago ako manganak. 6 months na rin kasi ako eh. Supposedly, October dapat ang schedule ng trip namin since yearly kami gumagala tuwing birth month ko (it's a way of celebrating my birthday kasi) pero sinuggest ko na lang kila Kuya Bimbo na September kasi baka maalanganin ako.

So this is it! Eto na ang start ng aking pasalubong chikkaness sa inyo. I'll start this Bali adventure series by touring you around the hotel where we stayed.

We stayed in Hotel Santika Siligita Nusa Dua. Obviously, we chose a hotel located at the Nusa Dua area in Bali. Yun kasi yung area na maganda yung beach and tahimik. I read it somewhere din kasi na if you want a place for total relaxation in Bali, better stay in Nusa Dua. Pero kung hanap mo is happenings, sa Kuta area naman dapat. At Nusa Dua, you can find also the nice resort hotels na super mahal. Pero siyempre, hindi kami nagstay dun sa mga resort hotels na yun. Di namin kinaya yung per night eh. Haha! Instead, we tried to search for a nearby hotel na swak sa budget namin.

At first, I found a very reasonable resort hotel with a beach front. Pero buti na lang at binasa ko muna yung hotel policies nila bago ako nagbook. At kung hindi, malamang sa malamang masasayang lang ang booking namin since bawal ang bata sa hotel. Then, I found Hotel Santika Siligita Nusa Dua. It's just a 3-Star hotel pero hindi halata. Ang nice niya kasi for a 3-Star hotel eh. Sabi nga ni Kuya Bimbo, kung 3-Star hotel talaga yun, kawawa naman yung mga hotel natin sa Pilipinas.

Here are some photos of the hotel:

Puwede na di ba? 3-Star pa yan sa lagay na yan ha.

Here are the positive points of the hotel for me:
  • Price - very reasonable siya. As in! For our 4 days 3 nights stay, almost P8,000.00 lang. Lumalabas less than P3,000.00 lang a night. Take note, with free buffet breakfast pa yan ha. Good value for money talaga.
  • The room comes with free buffet breakfast. Actually, it's not an ordinary buffet breakfast. Hindi siya pipityugin na sasabihin mong walang kuwenta. Ang daming choices ng food. Tapos, the menu is different everyday so hindi nakakasawa. They serve and maintain the food hot din. Aside from that, puwede ka pang mag-take out. Hehe. They are also kind enough to give us a breakfast box during our last day since our flight back in the Philippines is early.
  • They have free shuttle service going to and from The Bali Collection and Nusa Dua Beach.
  • The hotel actually is walking distance to Nusa Dua beach - less than 2km lang.
  • There are nearby restaurants and shops around the hotel.
  • The hotel's design is very nice. They don't actually have an aircon in their common areas pero ang presko pa rin.
  • The hotel staff are very accommodating and helpful.
  • All hotel rooms have a veranda.
  • Nice and clean swimming pool.
  • The hotel staff are good in English.
While the negative points of the hotel for me are:
  • The free shuttle service has limited schedule. 12:00nn, 2:00pm and 4:00pm only.
  • Medyo kulang yung toiletries nila.
  • They only have 2 bath towels and 1 floor towel. They don't have face and hand towel.
  • The grout in the CR have some molds which I find icky. Sabi ko nga kay hubby, hindi papasa kay Chuvaness yung CR. Hehe.
Kung mapapansin niyo, very minimal lang ang negative comments ko. Mainly siguro 3-Star nga lang siya. Alangan naman mag-expect ako too much na kumpleto ang toiletries and towels nila di ba? Hehe.

Anyway, overall naman super like namin ang hotel. Enjoy din kami sa stay namin. Hindi kami nagsisi that we stayed here. Sulit na sulit talaga yung binayad namin sa hotel. I highly recommend the place in case you plan to go to Bali.
