Everything was excellent. The only issues were no in-room coffee maker and no ice machine on site, but I totally understand why they don’t have those amenities. We will absolutely be staying here again whenever we visit Port A and recommend you to friends!

We had such a great stay at Shark Reef Motel. It was honestly the cleanest and best motel we’ve ever stayed in. You can tell the staff truly care—they were constantly out making sure everything was spotless and well-kept. The attention to detail did not go unnoticed. Super comfortable, very well maintained, and just an overall great experience. We’ll definitely be staying here again!
