Accomodation has lots of stairs & no lift so you’ll have to carry your bags up several levels unless you’re on the lower floor. Property is looking a bit run down.

Likes and Dislikes

I always like to stay at the Melanesian what I did like friendly staff, quietness.cleaness and the washing done so I could take home clean clothes, food was good.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was very friendly and welcoming upon arrival & easy to get to from airport, however, we were not made aware the property was under renovation and the pictures are a bit misleading. Absolutely no pool chairs to lay out by pool or towels offered as listed on the site. The bathroom towels were almost shredded though the room was clean enough, & beds pretty firm. The big upside if you don't plan on spending much time in the room anyways, like us, it is affordable and within walking distance to the market/ shops and to find another hotel/pool to lay out by.

Not worth it

The hotel has definitely seen better days, everything was coming undone. The whole place could use a coat of paint... The bathroom door wouldn't close as it was falling apart. There were a ton of cockroaches running around (probably a common problem around the island but anyhow, annoying). The pool had no lounge chairs so bring a pool float or something unless you enjoy sunbathing on the hard ground. Wifi basically only worked in the lobby. The room was a good size and the little balcony was a nice addition, but I would not stay there again especially for the price we paid.

Staff were super lovely: friendly and helpful. Attached tour desk was limited to expensive experiences, so would recommend reaching further afield to book tours, but the hotel did loan us some snorkelling gear for the days we wanted to self explore. Would recommend.

I loved the spacious apartment and the private balconies, the aircon and the TV worked well. The chef at casa Mia was good. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. There was no fresh milk in the fridge for a cup of tea but when I asked for some it was brought to me by a young man who went to some trouble to get it.

Hyvä hotelli, vähän vanhahtava

Kaiken kaikkiaan hotelli oli hyvä. Huoneeni oli mukava, hiljainen ja hyvän kokoinen (se oli Orchid-huone). Nettiyhteys tosin pätki - viihdekäytössä se ei niin haitannut, mutta esim. etätöihin se ei toimisi, koska kokouksista ei tulisi yhtään mitään. Hotellin uima-allas oli ihan kiva, mutta jostakin syystä sillä oli tosi hiljaista, joten siellä sai olla rauhassa. Hotellin sijainti oli ihan Port Vilan keskustassa (200 m parlamentista) ja lähellä oli sekä ravintoloita että ruokakauppoja. Kaupunki on kuitenkin niin pieni ja samalla laajalle levittäytynyt, että keskusta oli varsin rauhallinen ja rakennukset matalia. Aamupala oli ihan ok. Siellä oli tiloihin nähden aika paljon asiakkaita ja osa ruuista loppui jatkuvasti. Niitä kyllä tuotiin myös lisää. Hotelli oli 1990-luvun alkupuolelta ja vaikka se oli pidetty kunnossa, jäi siitä vähän vanhanaikainen vaikutelma. Käytännön puutteena oli myös, että sänkyjen vieressä ei ollut pistorasioita.
