This is a lovely little property with well appointed suites, a great view of the sea and a lovely little sea view balconey. Nice gardens and a sea view patio with loungers and tables. There is a natural swimming pool in front of the motel that fills at high tide and is great for swimming. Would love to return.

Hidden gem

We love it here and have stayed several years in a row. The views can't be beat and the large patio area on the beach is amazing. The only downside this time was some loud neighbors and the bedding could use an update.
