Hotel Melamun

The bath room is big

Lack of / limited of amenities To dark at the room and look like the humidity is high at the room

- Beautiful hotel - Value for money - Quiet - Close to departure of dolphin watching at 6am - Helpful staff - we wanted to go for dinner at Spice Beach Club and they arranged everything inc. pick up

- Restaurant serves only breakfast - No good restaurants within walking distance - Far from central Lovina (where there’s the statue of the dolphin) - Hard mattress and pillows Bali in general - if you’re a tourist be prepared to be ripped off and pestered to buy. A coca cola which costs 8k from a normal shop is charged at 30k whilst trekking Mount Butur, and they really press you to buy. All touristic activities are on the expensive side inc. snorkeling in Menjangan Island, rafting and trekking.

Bed was comfortable and clean with fantastic pillows! Location was a little far out but no shortage of people willing to drive you in for a small fee. No free shuttle. Breakfast was the usual offering for this style of accommodation. Staff very friendly and helpful, exchange rate was best I have seen throughout bali. I loved the street it was in with many small warungs, Balinese often playing guitar in a couple. Convenience store very close.

I believe the ownership has changed to a Chinese owner. The restaurant has closed, only serving breakfast and the “chocolate spa”also has closed. There are many alternatives for both nearby. The bathroom was quite dirty.. cotton buds behind the door etc. Not many guests for the first few days then some Chinese families arrived. Tours through reception are expensive, I saved 350000idr for trekking by looking online!
