Guest Reviews

Rhiannon (8/5): - Beautiful view from the hotel to the sea. Lovely way to have a coffee and quiet start to day. Great stop on way through and easy for whole family.
Lewis (4/5): - Nothing much
Ben (6/5): - Excellent location, we walked just outside the door and got amazing sunrise views, cons its an older motel and the shower pressure was pretty average, overall pretty good place and very well priced.
Gerald (10/5): - The view is magnificent.
Peter (4/5): Unimpressed - Was not very clean ,the duvet and pillow slips that matched was very outdated and not changed. Shower could do with a good clean in the grout. Under toilet rim was filthy and had obviously never had a scrub. Out of seven hotels we stayed at on our holiday it was definitely the worst one
Adriana (10/5): - Very friendly staff, quick checkin , very quiet place.
Paul (10/5): - This motel is situated right on the sea front in walking distance of the town centre. The room was well equipped for the self catering we prefer with clean and modern facilities.
Keeley (10/5): - Great place to stay across the road from the water. Updated bathroom and kitchen in the apartment Reception very welcoming
Rod (8/5): - All good
Daphne (8/5): - On the Esplanade. Loved hearing the sea.
herbert (6/5): - The Blue Seas Motel is located across the street from the ocean and offers beautiful views of the ocean and mountains. The kitchenette has a small refrigerator, stove top, microwave and tea kettle. Our only complaint is that the windows lacked any screens and the unit had no air conditioner or fans. We had to open the windows because it was very warm inside, and dozens of flying insects came into the room.
Chris (10/5): - Quiet. Minimal traffic noise. Comfortable.
Colin (10/5): - Great to have kitchen facilities. Great view
Wei (10/5): - I would like the environment of the property and the service is excellent!
Genevieve (8/5): - Clean, comfortable room. The gentleman who checked us in was very friendly & helpful.
Morris (10/5): - Stayed a few times. Love position and price
Rachel (8/5): - Great location across the road from the beachside walk. Easy check in. Would be really helpful to have a mirror beside a power point in the living room for hair drying. The hair dryer can't be used in the bathroom, where the only mirror is, as the power point there is only for razors.
Darren (6/5): - Last persons head hair though bed
Angela (10/5): - Wonderful location. Easy check in. Lovely reception lady. Would definitely stay again.
Kay (10/5): - Such good value& really enjoyed proximity to beach& view
Tania (10/5): - Friendly staff and clean and tidy unit
Julie (10/5): - It’s probably not the fanciest in town but it’s so warm, directly across from non-built up beach (so you get beautiful dark skies). It’s clean and comfy as. Really lovely front of house. I’ll come back!
Ken (10/5): - The location is awesome, opposite a lovely beach... Beautiful scenery as well
Andy and Lee (8/5): - Every thing was great

Warren (10/5): - Very clean and well presented Excellent value for money Would stay again
Christine (8/5): - Apart from the oven not working properly it was a great place to stay
