Beautiful beachside stay, warm staff & comfortable beds. Fabulous value for money & memories!
Pros:

Considering the amount of people we had with us children included, The room and sleeping arrangements we're super comfortable and spacious.The shower was AMAZING The view was outstanding, truely and we hadn't even booked a balcony room even the carpark had the most magnificent view. Horses in the paddock right next to the motel are super friendly. Right on the beach, no faults at all.

Gutes Motel - top Lage mit Blick auf das Meer/Strand
Pros:

Top Lage mit Blick auf das Meer, haben am nahen Strand den Sonnenuntergang genossen und das Abendrot auf dem Balkon. Nachts gute Sicht zum Sternenhimmel/Milchstraße. Alles war sauber. Jederzeit wieder.
