It was so central, a great place to spend the weekend, I could almost see and hear the surf from the balcony. Looking forward to staying so close to the beach again next time. I literally didn’t wear shoes for 3 days. So relaxing!!

Cool motel vibe with nice aesthetics. The room was clean and functional, though the bathroom is quite small. Sound insulation is poor—if you have noisy or partying neighbours, you’ll hear everything happening in their room. The pool area can also get very crowded; if other guests are there, expect limited space and possibly having to sit on the floor. Otherwise, check-in was smooth and communication was good—everything is contactless.

Great place to stay! The room was clean, comfortable, and the location was excellent. Our only issue was with a group of young guests in the room next door who returned around 2:00 am and started making a lot of noise as though they were continuing the party in their room. Unfortunately, I had to get up and ask them to keep the noise down so we could get some sleep. Aside from that disturbance, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily stay here again.
