We enjoyed our stay in the family suite with 5 people. Beds were soo comfy with 2 pillows each and bathroom was clean with fresh towels each day. Kids enjoyed the pool with towels available to use from the reception which was handy as our beach towels were wet. We enjoyed thos motel very much with a nice location and coffee van out the front.
