To get the number of users who like the Page. use fan_count instead of likes. As per the documentation description of likes and fan_count are same. but fan_count is working fine. So use

GET https://graph.facebook.com/v2.10/{PAGE_ID}?fields=id,name,**fan_count**,link&access_token={ACCESS_TOKEN}

ref: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/page/
