We could open the curtins and see the sea. The beds were a bit too hard but it was clean and tidy. We got an up graded to a room with two beds.

Good sized unit and location. Needs refresh. No insect screens on external sliding door, one kitchen power point needs replacing. Cleaning only adequate for price point.
