Spacious room. Bathroom was not very modern. Good water pressure and temp. Super friendly reception. There were bugs in the room including a huge cockroach, some ants and mosquitos.

Dave greeted us warmly. Very friendly and walked us to our apartment. It’s in a very nice residential area, away from tourists but within a 5 minute walk to the gorgeous beach. I just wish we could have stayed longer. Definitely giving this a 5 stars. Thanks Dave.

Kaiteri Apartments are a delight. Quiet with good onsite parking. Modestly furnished the apartments have everything needed to prepare & cook a meal and do your laundry. This is the second time we have stayed at Kaiteri Motels, and would defintely recommend them.

The hosts were welcoming and helpful. We had an ocean view, 2 bedroom apartment which had a well placed deck and lounge space with great views. The beach is a short walk away. The apartment was well appointed (although it would have been good to have a slightly larger plate/platter or board to make a nibbles platter).

Awesome stay, bed was incredibly comfortable, unit had everything we needed & more. Peaceful & tranquil setting with beautiful bird life. Great customer service. Last minute booking so they didn't have availability 2nd night, the next place we stayed on other side of bay was much more expensive and no where near as good. Highly recommend!
