Brilliant location directly across from the beach. The managers could not have been more helpful, we arrived straight from 3 days trekking and had use of the washing machine and dryer after hours. The bathroom is freshly renovated and the room is comfortable.

I was pleasantly surprised, the reason we booked this motel was because of its location and the booking was only for one night we were prepared to put up with some minor inconveniences. On arrival we were greeted by a really friendly woman at the reception desk and then we were given the key to a modern well-appointed motel unit. The units are built in such a manner that they are almost completely separate from each other, you cannot hear any plumbing or other noises from the neighboring units.
