After reading reviews on line about this property we were prepared to be under whelmed. On check-in I was told we had received an upgrade to 2 rooms for 4 people to enable us to have 2 bathrooms. The rooms were very comfortable, both with sea views, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
The positives: The staff are so nice. The location is beautiful, the views are incredible. However, the rooms need a big update. There is an odor that permeates the room. When the doors are open, it’s not bad but at night on the first floor you cannot leave the doors open cause someone could just walk into your room from the outside while you’re sleeping. Therefore, the rooms probably should be painted the furniture updated, and a thorough thorough cleaning. I think this place has the potential to be an amazing motel just needs a lot of updating

This motel needs a revamp both inside and outside the paint work was knocked around inside, the lounge chairs were grubby, curtains were grubby and had broken hooks, so did not hang correctly, there were ants over the kitchen bench and ants over the bathroom vanity, the carpet was grubby and had stains over it. The shower and toilet were clean and so were the sheets on the bed, the towels also were clean. A fabulous view from our downstairs unit out onto the beach. We felt the unit was overpriced for the condition it was in.I would not stay there again.
