We loved the area, felt really safe. The room was really comfortable, we had a one bedroom suite with a balcony, had a view of the sea, although the screen on the doors was really hard to open, so didn't actually go out onto the balcony.

    The lady at Reception was really friendly and helpful. The rooms were a decent size, particularly the twin room with a coffee machine which was very welcome. The rooms were clean and tidy although they could do with replacing some cracked tiles. The location is on a main road with places to eat nearby and just a short drive to the beach. There was plenty of free parking. We didn't have time to use the pool but it looked nice. The motel felt safe with a pretty exterior. We had a really pleasant stay here.
