Overall it was good. The room was large, clean with a full kitchen. Our only negative comes with the laundry which only opens from 10-6pm, we usually wash our clothes after dinner not in the day when we want to visit the island! And when they open the laundry next morning at 10:30AM, the dryer was in out of order for weeks we were told. For us it was sad as we selected that hotel because they were suppose to have a laundry but if you do not plan to use that service the rest was perfect.

Motel was fine for the night. We had a small room which was suitable. Room was clean but behind the bedside tables and behind the fridge it was quite dusty. Otherwise for a nights stay it was great.

We stayed in the king deluxe suites in rooms 24 and 25, which were upstairs. The rooms carpet and bathroom and cabinetry haven't been rennovated like the other rooms. The air cons, TV, appliances and bed were relatively new. Rooms were roomy with a 3 seater sofa, but the sofa was worn. The air cons were really strong which was great because upstairs can get really hot. The housekeeping did an acceptable job. The pool has recently been rennovated and it was a good size and depth and was clean. The BBQ area had 2 gas BBQs and two huge tables and plenty of seating. We cooked dinner on the BBQ every night we were there. The kids playground had plenty of options for my toddler and she loved it. I didn't interact with the staff much so I'm I can't really review them. The rooms carpets and bathrooms just need to be rennovated. Otherwise our stay was comfortable and the motel is a block away from the beach and the shops.

Lovely little motel

Room was warm, clean and provided everything we required. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom was clean. Especially loved the fact that we could park right in front of our room and unpack with ease. There was no official check in/out desk, but staff were walking around and was able to assist. My only complaint was that we didn't stay for additional nights. Lovely location, felt safe. Great restaurant options around the corner!
