Room had no air conditioning. It was hot and humid, so was very uncomfortable. Only had 2 fans that were not oscillating.

Loved our stay. 2 mins walk to the beach, use of boogie boards, surfboards and free washing facilities was great. Nice friendly staff and happy to accommodate your needs. Easy driving distance to shops at the Mount. Would definitely stay again.

Every pleasant place to stay easy to find and not to far away from the nightlife. Staff very helpful and nothing is to much trouble. Would stay again if in the area but hopefully longer next time. Two nights was not long enough. A++++++

Great location, staff are lovely. The only problem we had was the heat in the room. The room did have two fans however all that did was move the hot air around. Would suggest proper air conditioning. But other wise the room was fantastic. Lots of room for 5 of us.

Great stay only 3 Min walk to the beach.
Thank you for the great stay. Room quite roomy and great with the full fridge with freezer and full size oven. Single beds were very comfy, but found the Queen bed so soft and uncomfortable. But overall really enjoyed our stay and it was only a 3min walk to the beach via the beach access walkway. Reasonably quite too and a small back patio on Villa #7, with a outside rinse off shower for after the beach. Will definitely come back here again.

The manager was pleasant and helpful enough. Appreciated information about where to find places. However, no cleaning was done and no linen changed during our two day stay at the motel. Also, the bed making was poor and cleanliness in the bathroom especially was below average.

A very good motel, slightly out of the way. It was hot so aircon would be great, but the fans were really appreciated.

No Air Conditioning
We found the room catered for our needs and was well presented however when we arrived the unit was open and extremely hot, without air conditioning we weren’t able to cool the rooms down so it was a very uncomfortable evening for us.

Smart, refurbished hotel.
A very pleasant and well maintained motel. It has recently been refurbished to a high standard. Our unit was smart and well equipped. Just one quibble. The summer weather was hot. Two large fans were provided in the unit. The fan itself was enclosed within a safety cage. Unfortunately, when fired up they sound like an aircraft taking off. It was impossible to have the fan on in the bedroom and sleep at the same time because of the noise. Other than that, a great stay. It is a five minute drive into town, a couple of minutes to a large shopping mall, and there is an Indian Restaurant just around the corner.

Virtually Perfect
Five minute walk to low-traffic area of beach; 30 minute walk to restaurants, more populated beach area. Friendly, knowledgable management. Great place. Would have stayed in that area longer if we would have known better.
