The owners/managers were lovely and friendly, big plus. As soon as the lady noticed I was with my child she wondered if we'd appreciate an upgrade to the back of the property to be away from the road and entrance of the motel. This accommodation is a stone's throw from the beach! Unfortunately, it's not very soundproof, this of course depends if and who is in the upper apartment, sliding door, talking, toilet use were easily heard. We were very happy with the thoughtful and free upgrade but I have to honestly say that the place we stayed in could do with a big good spring clean inside and out on the terrace.

Very good location next to the beach. Quiet area. Staff very helpful and friendly. Bathroom need an extractor fan for condensation after shower. Very hot showers watch for the kids, there’s no tempering valve on the hot water cylinder. Nice room space overall with coaches tv and everything to feel at home.
