Please do not use the blower to clear leaves. Better to just sweep for complete peacefulness

The location is perfect for relaxation. Completely secluded and basic comfortable huts surrounded by lush jungle.

If they serve more vegetables for breakfast, their meals are very good.

Quiet and full of nature!

Seeing the harsh reality of people working at the resort (shifts of 15 hours, 7 days a week, months in a row, on low salaries) - which will be the same at all other places, so no Melina-specific problem. They deserve nothing but praise and generous tips. Melina organizes nice snorkeling trips. If you want to go diving you have to go to Genting or Psya, which involve a 20-30 hike through the jungle (on a path) before or done kind of arrangement with a boat taxi to pick you up. Food at Melina is good, but pricey.

The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming - always a kind word, a smile on the face, and professional through and through. The whole Melina team truly sees it as their task to ' take care of their guests' (from small daily tasks to helping a guest out that cut his foot badly on coral and needed to be brought to a doctor in the dark by boat and through the jungle). The location is excellent for those that want to experience nature, beach and stay away from the crowds. Our 2 children teamed up with the many other kids and played happily and independently in the hotels private bay and we loved seeing the monkeys, giant squirls and beautiful fish right out front.

Nothing to say at all!

The rooms were very clean and equipped. The service provided by the staff was five star! The went above and beyond at all times. Special mention to J who worked alongside the restaurant staff. This is the perfect "get away holiday" relax and recharge. Also perfect for family.

Same lunch and dinner menu. Poor lighting in rooms.

Beautiful location. Very comfortable rooms. Peaceful and relaxing resort. Good food. Friendly, helpful staff.

Could you move all the rocks a couple of feet to the right? (Only joking!) Lunch and Dinner menu is the same - would be nice to have a lighter option for lunch No Spa. Both Booking.com and the website both mention the spa. Turns out the spa shut down. Disappointing as I deliberately chose a spa resort for this trip. If I had known, I would have gone elsewhere. Sorry.

Great location, peaceful, green. Comfortable accommodation. Nice layout. Simple but effective common areas. Breakfast is nice, lunch ad dinner menu is the same, so after 3 days can get a bit limited, it would be nice if there was a lunch menu with some lighter meals on it, then a different menu for dinner. Nice private beach

Far from everything. You are the only on this part if beach. The only way to access to the nearest shop or anytg is by taking a bike (dangerous route). Or walk 30mins

Secluded private beach, peace and quiet. Friendly resort staff and management. Freeflow hot water, tea and coffee. Nice sandy beach, shallow clear waters though a bit rocky. There are western and Malaysian menu options at the resort's only restaurant - a bit limited in option but for two night's stay it works for us.

The staff is very friendly and tries their best to accommodate your requests and make your stay enjoyable. The resort is surrounded by wilderness, with the jungle behind and the ocean in front. Away from the hustle and bustle, it is very calm—I call it luxury. The resort helped arrange snorkeling trips, which were awesome. It’s family-friendly; kids have lots of fun playing on the beach and in the sea. They even befriended a cat and had a nice time. The food was very good. Breakfast offered a variety of foods, and since some of us are vegetarian, they had options to accommodate us. I certainly recommend the resort to anyone who likes to spend quality time and enjoy nature.

No wifi in our resort. Also telco signal is weak and sometime no signal at all. But they provide free wifi at the restaurant.

Very quiet environment, location is good. Most important is the staff are friendly, make us feel comfortable during the stay. I will give a thumbs up to the staff and the team.!

Food was good but a bit pricey and limited in choice. Because it’s a little further from other places (20-30mins hike/walk), you’ll likely opt to eat in. The rooms were decent and clean. However, be prepared that due to the natural environment, there were ants everywhere despite the cleanliness. Beach was relatively clean but there was some construction debris in the sea - me and my kids cut our feet on jagged bricks.

Private beach. Not too many people. I appreciate that it was just snorkelling and kayaking that was available. But they can arrange for excursions to other islands too. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Beautiful walk amidst the big boulders on the beach when it was low tide.

This is a negative AND a positive: it took 30 mins to walk to a village (eg Gentung or Paya). I was happy with this because I didn’t need stuff from a village (come with your own fave snacks) and this distance helps maintain the serenity at Melina.

Small, boutique establishment. Private, safe, easily accessible beach. Quiet: no traffic noise, no motorbike noise, no music blaring in the restaurants, no noisy TVs blaring from neighbouring cabins (occasional boat engine noise). We went snorkelling straight from our cabin - it wasn’t spectacular but we enjoyed it (and still saw fish/ rays; masks and snorkels and flippers supplied free by Melina). We also did a snorkel trip organised by Melina - all very convenient.
