A great clean, modern motel with balconies and the fresh air of the sea just a few mins away from your room. Lovely having a spa bath and a good strong hot shower. Things that marked it down were maybe some more blankets and had to ask for the linen for the sofa bed and when delivered no pillow cases. Some of the lights in the kitchen area were not working, they would have made a less harsh light for main living area. Lights
