The property/room that we viewed and were shown online was not what we walked into. The bathroom was full of mould, there was no extra blankets for when we got cold. This was not the family room with beach views and a balcony that we paid for or what we thought we had paid for, the room we had was not value for money,

Great location, that's the only good thing about this property. Property on arrival was dirty & unmaintained. Was sent a text to say get key from box marked 'key pick up' No such sign on box, had to guess. Buttons did not work, took 3 goes to open. Room was uninviting & shabby. Couch was worn & filthy (did not sit on). No coffee table. Tape on floor by the door. Fridge was rusty. Kettle could not be filled in sink as it was too big, had to be held under shower head to fill. Shower was disgustingly mouldy on all walls & black mould on ceiling. Toilet paper holder almost falling off. Could not properly do dishes in undersized sink as there was no plug. Sink hole was rusty. Pool was peeling & filthy (did not go in). This property was worth $100 AT BEST. $160 was a complete rip off. Would not recommend.

I found the Motel, very outdated. There were cracks in the hand basin in the bathroom, no soap supplied, no tissues. The bed was very comfortable, the room was clean, had an issue with the TV remote, could not get it to to off 1 channel, the back didn’t fit on properly. I walked over at 4.59pm to tell the receptionist, to see her duck out the door very quickly.It was resolved the next day by another lady with a different remote. Good location opposite the beach. Restaurant was great, very convenient, very busy. I’m sorry but I would not stay there again. The picture on the ad Is obviously of the newer section at the front, my room looked nothing like that.
