"Simple facilities with all needed, located right in front of the ocean. Extensive walk paths near the water. Quiet for a couple's gateway. We stayed in a room with the spa tub in the balcony and it's absolute heaven. The view from the bedroom is breathtaking. Will surely come back. Coffe shops and restaurants not too far. Recommend booking reservation in the restaurant under the Motel prior to arrive there, it's very busy."
