Melaya accommodation from AU$70

Beautiful joglo, lovely air-conditioned bedroom with amazing outdoor shower! The garden was tropical with beautiful trees and flowers. You can hear the lapping waves from the spectacular warm huge pool, with infinity sides, that made you feel like you're in paradise. We were in the middle joglo, we never saw or heard our neighbours. The staff were welcoming and so kind and helpful. Everything we requested they fulfilled, no problem. Our chef Ilo, and Esa, we're absolutely lovely and her cooking was outstanding. We often asked for traditional Balinese dishes which weren't on the menu, it was all delicious, thank you so much. Ita was a brilliant masseuse, we had traditional and reflexology massages in the garden. We can't believe how strong she was and relieved us of all stresses and knots! Highly recommend, we had 3 each as it was so wonderful. A big thank you to Nono our guide for activities, who is so knowledgeable about the island. We went through the mangroves and as a low tide ended up walking as boat got stuck was really fun! We also went snorkeling to Deer Island reef. It was the best snorkel I have ever done, thousands of fish and saw 2 turtles, what a thrill! I have dived all over the world and this was by far the best! My husband's first snorkel and Nono made him feel safe. Sami our driver was so friendly, the long airport transfer was beautifully scenic, well worth it to escape the busy commercial city. Thank you all for making our honeymoon so special.
