    Extremely clean, comfy beds, best pillows we have had at any hotels, very close to the dolphin feeding centre- pool and bbq area

    Spotless and very well maintained motel. From beautifully manicured gardens to impeccably clean rooms. We stayed there for three nights. The towels were replaced and supplies topped up after two days, including pool towels. Plenty of fresh milk...
