The accommodation rates are online rates as of February 2018. *Sometimes if you just turn up and take a chance you could pay much less but that depends on the season.
All the accommodation listed has at least basic en suite toilet/bathroom with hot shower, air-conditioning, fridge and wifi. The wifi signal in some resorts may be weak as the room is too far from the router. Generally breakfast is not included but most resorts either provide a kettle in the room or one in reception for instant coffee. V'la Heritage Melaka provided a reasonable breakfast which was complimentary. As well as checking out the room it is recommended you ask what else they provide but in the main there was little difficulty at the accommodation listed to either use on site dining or that located nearby.
