If you're looking for a quiet place to stay in Boracay with easy access to the beach, Melinda's Garden is an excellent option. You'll find six traditional-style bamboo huts tucked away in a cute little garden just south of boat station 3. We stayed for seven nights in a standard bungalow that came with a nice porch, hammock, fan, mosquito... More

Hidden between palmtrees, at the back of front line beach buldings, quiet, welcoming, perfect for backpackers. Staff is charming :) Only cons: no seaview, mosquitos... :P would love to be back there. Bablo

We stayed at Melinda's Garden for 3 nights in June. It was easy to find as it is sign posted from the main beach strip. The rooms are all huts and have a balcony and hammock, great to relax in after a hard day at the beach! The rooms come with nets and the bathrooms are big. The staff were... More

The room and the place is raw as expected, it is good for a getaway. Location is good but couldnt stay to have dripping shower.

The first time I was in Boracay was in 1996. This year is the first time I've been back since then and so much has changed. There are more people, but also a lot of the old beauty of the island has disappeared. Melinda's Garden is a glimpse of the old Boracay. The resort is quite and the garden is... More

We move into Melinda's Garden after two nights at another place that was horrible. It felt like an upgrade. The owner, Horst was nice and friendly. We enjoy listening to him when he describe Boracay 25 years ago. We had a wonderful time even though the weather was not the best and was raining. Our room was clean daily and... More

A selection of nipa cottages within a jungle garden, Melinda's offers a taste of more tranquil times in Boracay before recent developments and hotel building began threatening the harmony of the Isle. The cottages are situated down a little path, 50 metres behind Station 3 on the quieter end of the White Beach. I wanted a simple, authentic experience so... More

We went to Boracay for a few days to have some time off work. It's a great place for vacations and the resort was lovely as well. Although Melinda's Garden was a little difficult to find at first (it's only about 3 mins walk to the beach, but it is located behind a building), it was worth it. :) We... More

At first Melinda's Garden looked nice: the beds were comfortable, guests were provided with free distilled water, the restaurant served delicious fruit shakes, and the garden setting was lovely. Things went downhill from there. The cottages are all different and some are very dark (no overhead lighting) and small. The thing they all had in common was a nasty bedbug... More
