The location was great! Very close to the beach and shops. We were there during Cyclone Alfred and due to weather we couldn’t get out much because of high winds and rain. Shops had closed down with a couple of cafes open, much to our relief. As a result we were confined to our room for long periods. We had several power cuts and in TOTAL darkness!! There was only one comfortable seat, two plastic miss-matched chairs so sitting on bed for comfort. We paid £608 for 5 nights and despite the Cyclone I believe it to be overpriced. I used small towels to soak up the defrosting fridge in power cuts and had to ask for fresh ones as a result. Limited contact from from hotel reception.

Great stay

This place is a pleasant surprise - fantastic location, very comfortable and good service from Waves reception staff. There are no fly screens so we couldn’t open any windows due to the flies in summer. Aircon is very old and noisy (but works). Overall we had a comfortable stay.

It was very basic, but had everything you needed. It could have been cleaner. I thought it was expensive for such an old room. Great location though, would I stay again? Probably not.

Great budget style accommodation. Fabulous location, 5 minutes walk to all the main dining, bars and beach. Would have been helpful to have flyscreens on the windows so we could keep the windows open to let fresh air in, or maybe a ceiling fan to circulate the air. Shower could do with an ungrade and bathroom was a bit small. Beds were super comfy.

Motel doesn't look like much from the outside. However the inside of the rooms appears to have been refurbished and is quite decent. Check in staff friendly. Location is excellent being near the beach, bars and cafes.
