Vanaf het moment van online boeken, volgt een persoonlijke bevestiging van Estelle de eigenaresse. Het ontvangst was eveneens heel correct en persoonlijk met diner suggesties in de omgeving. Er was een mogelijkheid aanwezig om gebruik te maken van de BBQ. Wij kregen een familiekamer op de begane grond, schone kamer voorzien van de belangrijkste gemakken. Goed functionerende WiFi aanwezig. Er is een zwembad waar je gebruik van kan maken, handdoeken zijn beschikbaar. Wij hebben ons erg welkom gevoeld. Absoluut een accommodatie om aan te raden.

− Helemaal niets!

Excellent. Highly recommended.

10.0

The location was walking distance to the beach. This motel was quaint, clean, and had a pool, barbecues and well-kept grounds. Estelle was exceptional to deal with, easy communication, friendly and accommodating. Cleaning staff efficient and friendly. 10/10! Family friendly.

− Couldn't ask for anything more. Maybe a later checkout time, but 10:00 a.m. is probably the norm now.

Good location, nicely renovated clean room and friendly staff. Appreciate the large fridge in the room to chill the fruit we picked.
