Firm favourite.

A return visit. A lovely room with an amazing view. Good private balcony which is great for enjoying a drink, cold supper or breakfast. Very friendly helpful staff. Would recommend. Away from the main town so very peaceful. Very convenient for the sea pool.

It was good location. If you want to stay comfortably, an ocean view would be good. I didn't see the room so I don't know. The room we stayed in faced the hallway, so you could see the staff and other guests passing by. You couldn't open the curtains. I don't recommend room number 32. The staff were very polite.

It was a “short break” near the ocean. This motel was ideally located. Easy to walk to eateries, pubs and public transport routes. Sad to see so many empty shops.
