Would have been 5 stars for staff but the person at the reception judged my husband and I based on our size with the room we had booked and there was a dead mouse in the pool but overall the bed was soft and the room was clean! The cleaner is amazing and it’s located between 2-10 minutes of everything! Highly recommend despite a couple of issues. We would stay there again.

The rooms are dated but for the price over Christmas was great. The room is clean and the bed sheets lovely and crisp. Loved the park area and seat on the hill next to the hotel for a quite time overlooking the bay.

Staff was available and we could park our car after check out for 1,5h more. That was great. However we found a big cockroach in the room and later on many smaller ones. although we have reported it we did not get another room or any compensation.after our stay we had to check our bags to make sure we did not take any cockroach with us. Altogether our stay was disappointing

It is a basic motel, but has everything you need for a short stay: a nice hostess at the reception, clean room with microwave, tea/coffee facilities, cutlery and fridge. It was nice to have keyless entry to the room, so not to carry keys around. It is a quite location, but motel is on the hill. It is about 5-7 minutes walk downhill to the marina and beach.
