The Polish lady at Reception was particularly helpful and explained everything we needed to know about our accommodation. Her brother who helps run the Motel was also very pleasant as was the Maintenance man who helped us unlock a suitcase where the lock had jammed. The Motel is very conveniently located for those wanting a beach holiday and they have their own swimming pool which is kept clean and tidy. There are other facilities like shuffle board and a nice garden which leads to the beach....
