Beachfront Hotel
Room was clean and tidy. Sadly it was raining most of the time we were there and did not get the benefit of the view from the room. We did go to the bar for a nightcap which we thought was a little sad

Shining Star Beachfront Accommodation
Rooms were of poor quality, bathroom door was locked and I had to use a coin to open it. The quality of the room did not fit the price even with the beach.
