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.

I read about Melindas in the lonely planet, it said it was great budget bungalows in Boracay. We stayed in a "superior" cottage for 5 nights, I would have hated to see what the more budget options were! The room was very dark, cold salt water shower and the staff were less than helpful. I dont know where the lonely... More
