Prime location and a property that did not have lots of kids staying so access to the pool was great. Directly across the road from the beach, was so nice to hear the ocean from the room.

What a beautiful place to stay. The pool was gorgeous to swim in and the shallow part up the top was ideal to just lounge around in for hours (would be excellent if you have small children). Very quiet and private. Virtually in the middle of the main street so such an easy walk one way to bottleshop/pub and supermarket or the other way to some beautiful dining options. Fantastic view of the ocean. Was simply perfect for mine and my partners valentines day. Even having ice ready to go in the freezer was well appreciated. Most hotels have empty ice trays that you have to fill which isn't helpful when you arrive with drinks. Most definitely would stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The property is older style but very well equipped and clean. The central location is great and we had views of the garden and pool also the ocean. You could hear the waves at night. There were quite a few stairs but for us only really a bit of a hassle getting luggage up and down

Melaleuca was heavenly: I felt safe as a solo traveler, the property was quiet and clean! The owners were really great about communicating and adjusting to the situation when my flight got delayed over and over again. I was really grateful for their flexibility and willingness to help. My stay at Melaleuca was very peaceful and relaxing!
