Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is right on the beach, offering a great setting for a relaxing stay. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, although some areas need more attention. The service is exceptional, with the manager Mikki being particularly attentive. The location is unbeatable, with easy access to restaurants and shops within walking distance. The dining experience, while having potential for improvement, still leaves something to be desired. Overall, a memorable stay with excellent service and a prime beachfront location.
My stay at this motel was a mix of positive and negative aspects. The location is fantastic, being right on the beach and close to various amenities. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but the design felt a bit outdated. The service was friendly but could have been more attentive in terms of cleanliness. The dining options were limited, and the prices seemed high for what was offered.
The hotel's location is perfect, right by the surf spot and walkable to many restaurants. The rooms were clean and well-appointed, but I had a slight issue with it getting a little chilly overnight for my taste. The service was exceptional, with attentive staff constantly cleaning and restocking towels and drinks. They were also kind and helpful, even offering free rentals of beach equipment. The dining experience, despite the limited breakfast options, was still enjoyable. The facilities were well-maintained, making it a comfortable stay.
