Hilltop hut overlooking Georgetown

Malihom is located in a relatively remote part in the south of the island. We stayed at the hill top which overlooked the entire Georgetown. The view was spectacular. Not many other guests during our stay so it was very quiet.

So relaxing but comes with a down side

We stayed here ten years ago & came back because we loved it so much. It’s not easy to get to. The cab drivers nearly have a heart attack with such a steep switchback single road but that’s also part of its appeal. It’s an exceptionally pretty & very romantic place & where we chose to be for our 55th wedding anniversary. The staff were excellent & made our anniversary special. Breakfast is included & very nice but as you are a captive audience dinner needs to be ordered and catered for and it’s eye watering-ly expensive & not as nice as it was. Good enough but not great After staying in Georgetown where the food was so cheap & so delicious everywhere this was Meh!!

Perfect nature getaway

An amazing place if you love being around nature. Perhaps some things are a bit outdated but we loved it nonetheless. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

MAGICAL!

It’s like a fairyland, and my chalet had a splendid view of the sea. Everywhere on the property one can enjoy views of the forest, sunrise and sunset. The staff are superlative, and attentive without being intrusive, especially Akul and Tofazzel. Thank you guys, and a special apology to the guests I met on the way down in my car, but the kindly gentleman offered the perfect solution for me to back up and allow the others to proceed.

Difficulty getting to the hotel BUT a memorable stay thanks to the view and staff.

The staff were excellent! They made our stay there memorable. Even when we were having trouble getting a taxi to take us up there and getting down especially when it started raining they kept us calm and helped in any way they could. We loved our room overlooking the pool and the bed was heavenly. The pool was as well. The views were breathtaking and we loved having the property almost all to ourselves!

An amazing jungle retreat away from any other facilities

Amazing views from a tree house. Gorgeous pool. Staff very friendly. Good communication prior to arriving to enable us to arrange hotel recommended taxi transport. This is more expensive than Grab but very few driver will tackle the winding road up to the top. The food was very nice but unless you take your own snacks, there is no real alternative (you really are blissfully cut off!). You really need to be agile to stay here and we were grateful that we didn’t come with very young children!
