Bar and dining areas need the times of operation clearly displayed. This will help in not stressing the staff out. Staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. Pool is well maintained. Cocktails generous. Would recommend this property.

The stay at Melanesian was average this time around. There was issues with bed bugs in my room. The hotel staff changed my room however the new room's air condition was not working. I was then shifted to another room. The extension to the reception was down for almost 4 days during my stay.

Reception was lovely, check in not till 3pm we arrived at 2pm. So went up to the pool to have a drink relax and wait. Wait is what happens there, no acknowledgement from bar staff when standing at the bar. Didnt know what a vodka lime and soda was. Everything there was slow on oth occasions at the bar.
