The motel was absolutely amazing, especially for families! The two-room unit went above and beyond my expectations – plenty of space for my 3-year-old daughter, an amazing and bright bathroom, a well-equipped kitchen, comfy beds, and ample wardrobes. The staff were lovely and super friendly. They went above and beyond our expectations by surprising us with a cake and some balloons to celebrate my mother-in-law and husband's birthdays. I'll definitely be coming back again! 🌟

Our two-bedroom unit was spacious and suited our group. The unit was very clean with a well-equipped kitchen perfect for eating a meal in the unit. The sitting area was quite spacious with comfortable seating and a good TV. Although we arrived quite late this was no problem. We appreciated that the unit was cleaned daily. The motel is easy to access off a main road with a short distance to the many activities in the area. The hosts went out of their way on our departure and returned an item we had left behind. I would definitely stay in this motel again.

Only thing that would improve the unit would be air conditioning.

Friendly welcome, plenty of room. Great location easy walk to beach and village. Lovely swimming pool. Very clean. Water tasted disgusting, pahia issue not motel, and they provided large bottle water where you could fill your bottles. Very quiet. Rang when I had forgotten my handbag.

Was very basic so first impression I was disappointed especially bearing in mind was $410 per night. However as progressed through our stay, got used to it and was good for our stay. In terms of price we were there at peak season and is $100 per night cheaper in February. Bed was a bit soft for us but that is our preference. Had to ask for beds to be made even though told serviced each day. Note did not want change of sheets just to be made. Very basic small Kitchenette. Ok just for breakfast but could not really cook a meal there. They do have a bbq though

Rooms were very clean and tidy. Managers went out of their way to help. Good to have the two bedroom unit option.

Accommodation has been cheaply refurbished. I would not say this is a 4 star motel. But it is beautifully clean and functional. To match the 4 star rating, the bathrooms and kitchen should be refurbished.. Photos are not the most accurate of the pool, which is small. Depth of pool needs to be signposted as we watched a child go under the water and a parent had to jump in to rescue her. A sign would help in the pool rather than at the gate.
