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.

Pros:

The view is so lovely

Cons:

Couple things to make it better would be to have nicer and clean spare blankets. And more of them. Was a little cold...the small heater in the room didn't quite do it..
