Melinda's Garden

Melinda's Garden

Place:

Established in 1988, Melinda's Garden is not one of the first, but surely one of the most experienced resorts in the island. The demand of a traveller is truly seen in the style the cottages are built and equipped.
Melinda's Garden is not only known for its hospitality, but for its reliability as well. The small resort maintains a family-like atmosphere. They know their customers by name and look after their individual needs.
The cottages are set in a tropical garden. They are built with local materials and provide the perfect background for a relaxing holiday.

Melinda's Garden and the Spirit of Boracay:

The resort at the first look seemed to be not much different like any other place but sensing a little deeper one will find out that nothing was left to chance but everything has its deeper meaning.

While lying on the hammock the tropical scent takes you up and you feel the mystical aura what made Boracay once so famous. No doubt there is this certain something what let you feel so fine. Life comes back and you feel you want to be just there.

Watching the sun go down (Boracay has one of the most amazing sunsets) you get closer and feel the warmth within yourself and when you look around you fell in love with the island what once was a jewel of the Philippines.
It's time to make it through the night. Outside under the stars quiet inspiring or cheerfully dancing you won't like the next day to come.

Boracay gets a little forgotten about what it was. Some people find it cool to live the lifestyle of a yuppie at the beach. But Boracay is a place with atmosphere and emotions and therefore one of the truly hot spots of this world.
In Melinda's Garden you have the chance to catch this feeling. That is why they say Melinda's Garden keeps the Spirit of Boracay.

Directions

How to get to Melinda's Garden:

- Upon arrival at the Caticlan airport, take a 5-minute tricycle ride to the Jetty Port. This costs 50 pesos.
- Enter the Jetty Port building and buy your boat ticket as well as pay the terminal and environmental fees. The boat ticket costs 25 pesos and the terminal and environmental fee cost 50 pesos each.
- Then you take a 10 minute boat ride to the Jetty Port in Boracay. This is located on the southern side of the island and is quite far from the white beach.
- Once in Boracay take a tricycle ride to the White Beach. This costs 15 pesos per person. Tell the tricycle driver that you want to go to Boat Station 3 and to Melinda's Garden. He will drop you off at the main road at a centre point.
- The road from the centre point to the white beach is a long and straight cement road. Keep walking until you reach the beach. This walk takes about 5 minutes.
- Once at the beach, turn to the left and after a 100 metre walk you will reach our sign board. We have a laundry and souvenir shop half way, which you can use as orientation.

Another possibility to get to Melinda's Garden from the Jetty Port in Boracay is to hire a whole tricycle, which would bring you directly to the resort. This costs 100 pesos. Tell the tricycle driver that you want to go inside the resort and do not get out until you see the resort's sign. Sometimes they take the money, but still drop you off at the main road.
