Great location and value for money
Pros:

Great location, good value for price. Right next door to big shopping mall complex.

Cons:

Just a little bit misleading calling it a hotel it’s more like a motel, no breakfast hotel service but that didnt matter as there were so many lovely cafes near the beach that opened at 6am we had a car so no big deal. We didn’t realise a big boat yard was right behind the accommodation wing at times during the day there was a bit of noise but during the night it was quiet. We stayed upstairs the room right on the end, room 9. My husband did say he could hear tge hum of the generators or aircon units from the back of Murthy’s the bottle shop.
