Positive: The property was clean and spacious, we stayed the first night at Half Hotel and the second at Mela and both properties were very well kept. They were both within walking distance to the town centre.
Jitu who was the manager could not have been any more helpful - he even helped us with buying train tickets after we had checked out and helped us buy them when we were staying there. He helped us transport our luggage to the other hotel. Breakfast was delicious and generous. The pool was clean, toiletries were given and you could easily rent a scooty.
Negative: Nothing
Summary: Peaceful, clean and well decorated

I had a wonderful one-night stay at MELA. The hotel is in a quiet location, perfect for a peaceful getaway. The staff were extremely polite and helpful, making sure I had everything I needed. A special touch was the owner, Charles, personally coming over to check on my stay—it really showed the level of care and hospitality they provide. Highly recommended property for holidays

Positive:
Nice new modern chic property with the concept being a "pop art hotel" something diff for India and unlike other hotels I have stayed in before Small and cosy with just 6 diff rooms.
Was looking for something like this as I did not fancy a larger property where there are too many people and tourists around the place.
Vishal was "the STAR MAN" and he helped with all the requirements even getting me a few cold ones.
Close walking distance to the Beach shacks and shopping streets. Tons of restaurants nearby and the closest one was Soumyens Restaurant. Many breakfast options as well walking distance in 1 min to the main road serving indian food. If you forget your beach gear as I did then no worries Decathlon was also very close by.
They have a common pantry area where u could get your coffees made 24 x 7 and even warm your food up
Overall great experience. Will certainly recommend to my mates
Negative:
They have no restaurant or bar but understand their concept is u can get your own beers and food and sip your beers by the pool or lounge playing your music. So a bit you have access and use of common areas like a villa or an air bnb but pay for a room. something different.
Summary: Lovely modern place in Calangute close to the beach and main road.

I had an amazing stay at Mela. The room was clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated, offering a perfect blend of comfort and style. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. The property itself was well-maintained, with thoughtful amenities that made the stay even more enjoyable.
The staff was warm, welcoming, and always ready to assist with any request, which made the experience feel personalized and stress-free. The location of the property was convenient, with easy access to nearby attractions and dining options.
Overall, Mela exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay.
