Lovely well maintained and well equipped motel room close to the Esplanade and in walking distance to reef terminal and shops including grocery shop. Lovely rooftop motel pool. Thorough information provided online by the agent and reliable support provided.
Great little apartment for a couple. Well laid out with a small balcony overlooking The Hilton. Restaurants all along the boardwalk a few steps away. And just a short walk to the main town.
No parking though but the nearest overnight parking is over the road at the Hilton and costs $30 a night (2024)
