Very friendly staff. Lovely pool. Went to their Melanesian night which was excellent - including the BBQ (especially the steak). Nice air conditioned room with a comfortable bed. Marked down as there are areas that are a bit tired, however overall its clean and tidy.

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.

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.

Monday night the pool bar closed very early. Room could have done with an air freshener. The restaurant was very good, however the free breakfast was very limited, needed to purchase bacon and eggs

A very short trip to get an idea of the PV vibe. I found the hotel to be ideal - good position, nice pool and bar, complimentary brekkie buffet and a great balcony. Really got a good feeling of the town with a pool retreat!
