King suite was great; beach only metres away; town centre 10 minute walk; we extended our stay.

We loved our King Suite corner room. King sized comfortable bed, as long as you like a fairly soft bed. Plenty of space in both bedroom and living room ( though kitchenette had very little food prep space). Spa bath and loads of hot water. For multi-aspect outside patio and garden, giving sun most of the day, ask for Room 6. Great to have a car park, not car outside our door. Downside: fewer cooking utensils than in many motels and crockery very utilitarian. The pretty circular windows don’t open, but there is air con.

Location was great for where we needed to be , perfect location if beach was your thing as only 1 min walk if that Motel is a bit dated and the room we had was ground floor and although spacious it had the musty mouldy tropical smell which was not pleasant Staff very helpful as had trouble with door lock Had booked through hotels.com and an arrival package , drink and late checkout was not in room as reception was unaware

Enjoyed our one night this time around. Just a short break for two busy people. Room was clean and facilities adequate. Place needs a bit of tlc, but not bad enough to put us off coming again.

We have stayed many times and love the position and comfort. Friendly and helpful staff. There was a problem with our door making a strange sound which turned out to be caused by the wind. However the manageress upgraded us to a King Room so it didn't keep us awake! Very much appreciated! Will definitely be back!
