Crazy hot, awkward environment

Never actually interacted with anyone from the hotel as they have very limited staff hours and we checked in at 7:00 pm and they were already gone and then we left at 6:00 am for the airport and no one was in yet. The place was clean but when we arrived it was fully closed up with no AC and it was 85 degrees. It was only a high of 64 degrees that day, so any attempt by the staff to open it up during the day would have reduced the temperature to a normal range. We opened up all the windows and doors while awake which decreased temperature a bit but we weren’t comfortable in the unsecured motel area leaving the windows open while we slept.

Clean, comfortable, walkable to the beach and several restaurants. Beautiful area. Staff was friendly and helpful. My only complaint is the bed was too soft for me. Otherwise it was wonderful. Would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable and well located motel

Very comfortable 60’s style motel with large rooms - small apartments really - located a little more than a block from the bustling village. Tranquil location, accommodating manager and easy on-street parking. I would definitely stay here sgain

We absolutely adore this property! Its prime location puts you just a leisurely stroll away from the stunning beach, delightful restaurants, lively pubs, and fantastic golf courses. The staff consistently exudes warmth and friendliness, making every visit truly special. Each room is a charming sanctuary, fully equipped with everything you need, including plates, cups, dishes, a spacious fridge and freezer, a gas stove, an oven, a microwave, and so much more. After five wonderful stays over the past seven years, we can confidently say that each experience has been nothing short of exceptional.

70s throwback

I always love this place. It’s like stepping back to a 70s apartment with a salt water pool and everything just a short walking distance away.

The location is great, walkable to lots of little restaurants. Property is what appears to be single apartments turned hotel. It’s a little dated but gets the job done. Full kitchen is nice. No TV in the bedroom. No elevator but the stairs are manageable.
