I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were in immaculate condition, and I appreciated being able to take the bikes for a ride along the beach outside. Everything was so clean and had everything I needed. The location was ideal, with free bikes provided, and being able to walk to everything near the water was fantastic. However, the dining, while nice and on the simpler side, could offer a bit more variety for the price point.

My stay at the hotel was delightful! The charming rooms with direct access to the outside were perfect for a cozy couples getaway, featuring a great shower, ceiling fan, plantation shutters, and lovely decor, even though they were on the smaller side. The courtyard and grounds surrounding the rooms were adorned with many beautiful flowers and provided nice areas to sit and relax.

Staying at this motel was a mixed experience. The rooms, while nicely furnished with bright white linens and orange armchairs, had a small and cramped layout and an inconvenient location directly on the road. On the bright side, the corner kitchenette with essential amenities was a nice touch.
