Stayed for 10 nights.

First off we found this a great location, close enough to the great selection of restaurants on the pointe du bout and far enough out to be quiet.

It has to be said the apartment could do with a little maintenance; idiosyncratic taps etc, but the owners seem to be getting to that.

We found it most comfortable with self catering facilities and furnishings. Great feature is the massive window to the front with excellent view (see picture).

One word of caution: if you have mobility problems this is not the place for you. The drive/carpark up from the road is very steep, there are steps for part of the way. Our apartment was at the top, brilliant for the view but another 50 steps.



Great Location- perfect for couples

The property has a great view, Christopher was very friendly and try hard to speak English. Downside the property is on a hill and the access is about 30 degrees incline, not good for people with health issues. No elevator on the property. Need a car if you really want to take advantage of the beautiful scenery. If going print the route before, GPS is not precise and locals don't speak English. Area is very nice and great restaurants, be patience they are not in a rush, meals can take about 30 minutes before it gets to your table or longer. We had a great time despite the up ramp. Thanks

I love that this is an apartment rental - with kitcheonette, washing machine, and self-cleaning (no maid service). The staff was available to assist as needed (Olivier is exceptional - helping with restaurant reservations, site seeing recommendations, etc.). I felt myself and my belongings were secure at all times. I love the cool mountain water pool. Most of all, I love the views.

We had a very late arrival after some airport delays (don't rent from Avis unless you want to spend hours on line), yet Eduard was waiting for us with the biggest smile and accommodation (and glasses of rum punch). It is your apartment, he said, do as you please. The staff will not enter your unit without permission. You are responsible for daily cleaning, but the staff is there if you need anything.The unit is basic, but had everything we needed. The views are outstanding, with wide, fully opening windows. It was nice to have an upper floor room. We felt secure at all times. The only negative is that the pool water is cold, but I found it tolerable (refreshing, in fact) by late afternoon. Plus, the pool was very clean. Location is great - I liked being near L'anse Matin and Pointe du Bout. I will definitely stay at Residences Villas Melissa again.

Amazing views

The photos of this apt. hotel are completely false. The driveway is extremely steep and unsafe, difficult to park and walk up, is dirty and unwelcoming. The front office is smoke filled, extremely messy and disorganized. The staff were very friendly however. The room was very old, tiles falling off the baseboard, clock with no battery, dishes and pans dirty, bugs in the cabinets, filth under all beds, blanket was threadbare and stained, pillow cases stained and cheap old furniture. There is a minimal attention to surface detail that made the photos look modern and sleek that was completely inaccurate. The only feature worthwhile is the view of the bay which is beautiful. The pool looked nice but based on the way they did not clean the room I doubted whether they saw to the bacteria levels in the pool, though we never saw anyone swim in it. Overall, this was a very depressing place with a chained up dog next door and outside our window to hear and look at daily, ribs showing and no shelter through rain and sun. It was so sad to see him try to get attention from passersby. The price we paid for this hotel was comparable to much nicer hotels and it was so bad that we had to move to two other places so as not to completely destroy our vacation that was already a reach for us financially.

Spoiled vacation to paradise

We stayed at Villa Melissa for 5 days in December and had other expectations. We booked it with breakfast which is not recommended. The breakfast was delivered in a basket which is quite ok, but the Marmelade was moldy because of the unclean container. Tip: just give a Marmelade to the people as gift, this might be also less expensive as throwing the content each time away. The coffee was also undrinkable without milk, milk is not provided in the breakfast basket. Besides, we didn‘t expect that nothing will be cleaned and there is no cleaning agent provided. This would also make great sense, as the Appartement will get more and more dirty as nobody will buy stuff to clean your apartments. Also dish soap would be great because nobody would like to eat from dish only cleaned by water. More toilet paper than only one roll lead also to more satisfied customers. Maybe all this description can be found in French descriptions of Villa Melissa, in our language German, this was not described The rest is quite ok, the view is great, restaurants and a beach is nearby. You have to know that you need French otherwise it will be very difficult to talk to the staff. 

Ok but could be better 

The manager, Olivier was very helpful and efficient.  We paid a 30% deposit to Expedia, which was never passed on to the hotel; therefore we had to pay 100% of the charges to the facility.  We  are contacting Expedia for our refund.

Nice hotel with all necessities

Villa Melissa is very reasonably priced, has a spectacular view of the bay, Pointe du Bout where it is located,  Fort de France, and the surrounding waters.  The room is spacious, and everything works well except the wifi.  The furniture could be more comfortable.  The foldout bed in the living room is not very comfortable when used as a sofa, and neither are the kitchen chairs very comfortanle.  One of them was broken.  The staff are all friendly and wonderfully helpful. Thy are the best.   The pool is large enough and delightfully located with bougainvilleas cascading down one  wall and a wonderful shaded area with a table and chairs where we occasionally enjoyed a take-out dinner and some wine.  Be aware that the drivewayleading to the office and rooms is very steep.  very steep.  Our little rental car would not readily make it up the hill with four passengers.  and it is a very steep walk.  I didnt mind it, but you shpuld be aware of it.  The wifi is adequate when there arent too many guests, but when the place fills on weekends you really don't have wifi.  We, and other guests, sat on the steps,trying to dind a spot where the wifi worked.  We were actually without functional wifi for most of our stay.  But it's a short walk to a beachfront cafe with wifi. Despite those limitations, we really enjoyed the place and would stay there again.  I cannot say enough about the view, the very nice pool, and the friendliest, most helpful staff I have encountered.

wonderful view

60 - 70 euros taxi from airport.we stay one week with no car. The hotel is just nearby beach and little supermarket.city bus stop just in front of the hotel. (easy to use with the bus time table).
