Beachfront Motel

Beachfront Motel

10/10 Excellent
"It’s very difficult to comment, as everything was perfect; I even arrived well ahead of my check-in time, and the young man who was there did everything he could to check me in anyway. I should point out that I was on a motorbike and it had been raining all day – I think he took pity on me. But never mind – it’s the thought that counts. Inside, everything is perfect; I have absolutely no complaints whatsoever. I’d recommend it 200 per cen"
