We arrived back from dinner just after 8pm and none of us (3 different rooms) could get the TV to work! I followed instructions but it was not responding - no sound, no response to channel or volume buttons. I just wished to watch regulr tv, nothing special but nothing worked! There was no contact numbers for help, so nothing could be done. Staff very friendly, rooms very clean and comfortable.

Good location

Great location as it is only a minutes walk to the beach. Room was clean and comfortable but rather dark. There was noise from the road. However for the price I would recommend it. Parking outside the room.

Check in wasn’t great . Last minute.co booking stated payment at the motel but website took payment prior without my knowledge leading to confusion at check in. Booked for 2 adults , 3 kids but room only set up for 4. Receptionist confused and it was starting to sound like our problem. In the end we were offered a seperate room or additional bedding which we opted for . Room very clean and tidy, beds comfortable and good water pressure, room service staff very friendly . Outside deck garden off room really overgrown, with a full ashtray just by the door so was a bit disappointing as the front side of the property was really clean .
