Stayed 2 nights here on a trip around the island. Within the price range, it was the best accommodation we had anywhere. Spacious and comfortable, conveniently situated and reasonably priced with very welcoming hospitality. Highly recommended. More

Near new and well built motels close to town. Solid concrete floors so no squeeky floorboards to keep you awake. Good service too. Double bed should be a better quality model, futons went out years ago. Very clean and good facilities. Highly recommended. More
