We were just there for xmas and new year. We stayed in a family suite and unfortunately for us the toilet did not flush (had to get the handle in just the right spot or pour water down loo)and our air con hardley worked.(requested a few times for this to be fixed but never did-we decided just to put up with it)The rooms although basic were huge - 2 rooms really and were perfect for us with 3 kids.Rooms cleaned daily and beds made, the bedding though is really old and no bed covers on beds.The breakfasts were quite good eggs any way and beautiful fruit although they did tend to put out alot of left over foods from the night before which did bring complaints from quite a few guests.We just stuck to the eggs and fruit ,toast etc and found it ok.The dinners however I would not reccomend. I have to agree that the grounds,although kept clean are quite run down as is the pool area and it was a tinge green on some days. The new reataurant is still under constuction but is not noisy or disturbing in any way.I have been to bali many times and have to say that although polite we found the staff at reception and pool etc, not very friendly.We found Melasti to be quite a basic hotel but still enjoyed our time there, not one I would choose to stay at again though.I have to say they did put on fantastic new years eve and Christmas eve parties - heaps of fun!
