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.

Short and sweet
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!
