Hotel abs a private beach which is a little disappointing. But over we had a nice time.
Breakfast is lavish and lobby is amazing. We had a gound floor room with a balcony and just had to walk out for the breakfast or a dipping the pool
U can hire water sport s equipments from the hotel beach itself. Free shuttle to NASA dua is good.

My family and I are here at the moment, for a 5 star resort it is quite old but the staff do try with their attention to detail (eg, lovely flower arrangments). Check in staff are lovely however the overall staff around the resort struggle with english, it just takes a bit longer but its fine! We are in a suite which I got the impression that it would be a 'seperate' bedroom but its not. the bed is located up a step but there is no wall which makes it hard at night with 2 young kids. On arrival to the room i has the staff member if there was a bigger room availble and he said no, but the resort wouldn't be even a 1/4 full - prehaps its the language barrier. This is the 2nd resort so far I've stayed in and its like a ghost town, theres no one here - you think they would have a good sale, just to get some guests!
Anyway the food in the al a carte restaurant is very good compaired to where we last were. Its about 7.50 usd for a main meal (but than you get the bill in IDR?) and the breakfast is great. YOu don't get nothing for nothing though - we were charged for a glass of milk to put in our babies bottle.
We are only here for 2 nights which is enough, just not enough activities for the kids, the kids club is a small (but nicely painted) room with a handfull of toys which gets a bit boring after an hour. Also the coctails aren't good at the pool bar - no love put in them!

I stayed at Melia Benoa for 8 days at the end of January with my husband, sister and children. We all had such an amazing time and found it difficult to leave such a fantastic resort. We purchased the both the blue and gold all inclusive packages. Both packages were great value for money and when we return will be purchasing similar if not the same packages. The staff and service was above and beyond our expectations. The evening entertainment was perfect for all the family. The beach and pool area were extremely well maintained. I have stayed in many places around the world and Melia Benoa surpassed all our expectations.

i stayed in melia in january 2012, for 1 night only. we can reach the hotel from the airport in 30 minutes. my bad experiences that in the front office, only 2 lady handle the guest, and 1 of them is still trainee. took almost 20 minutes to check in. room is to standard for the 4 stars hotel, actually is quite spacious, but the amenities look old, and cheap. view from this balcony is souvenir market near the hotel.

the room service/ housekeeping, suddenly knock my room and bring additional water, but it without any explanation, just knock and freeze without any smile on it.

the breakfast are standard, and serving pork nearby the other food stall, it not good for moslem - that consider halal foods, so i was only eat loaf bread + jam (its not recommended for moslem)
