Although the room was a bit small, I was extremely satisfied; it is just a short distance from the beach, and the location is excellent!

“Excellent location! Definitely recommend!”
Wonderful, wonderful location. You can see the beauty and listen to the sound of the ocean right from your room. Your yard is the beach. Very friendly staff. Clean and well-equipped room (we had one with a fridge, coffee maker and microwave) Just a few steps from the motel - the promenade, shops and restaurants. Special thanks⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ to the owner, who was very hospitable and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay, we enjoyed the ocean even after sunset right from our room. Great parking, the stay is included in the room price.
