Awesome spot, very clean and very nice and has great amenities like pool, hot tub, beach volleyball, etc. Only complaint I would make is that they close pool, hot tub, fire pit at the back and backyard too early.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Kiwi Motel! Everything was super cute and the staff were more than amazing. We had the sliders and Mediterranean flatbread and both were incredible. The kiwi salsa was also amazing. There was a 90s party happening on the weekend and the music was fantastic, so was the service from all of the staff. Everyone took such great care of us. We will definitely come back!

Paid a little more because of the patio/hot tub area. Unfortunately it was closed early. Couldn't enjoy it at night. There were other guests not thrilled about it either. :(

I would try the Kiwi again maybe the middle or end of summer. It was just the start of opening season, being the long weekend and staff although polite and cheery were new & in training. The new kiwi inspired menu was very delicious. Their kiwi salsa is a must try! As well has their drinks. The pull out couch underneath had dust, food and bounce sheets. There was only one pillow in the hutch for a double pullout bed for two kids to sleep. There was a fitted sheet and a light matching sheet to cover up with. But no blanket or comforter. The pool was open to the public on our first day. Not just guests. The people off the street utilized the best seating areas since it started prior to check in times. Very busy with kids in and out of the beach sand from the volleyball pits and then into the hot tub & pool water to rinse off. A quick foot rinse station could alleviate the added mess. Pool reopened for 8am the following morning, but was not cleaned up to par. Had bugs and hair floating in it. Ph must have been off as there was white froth floating on surface as well. Also need to walk to the front restaurant/bar to get pool towels as opposed to having them conveniently located at the pool area. The back oasis looks beautiful, just a tad wet. The grass swished & got wet shoes on the way to play at the back. All in all it’s a beautiful place to stay, and I’m sure in time all the kinks will be worked out.

The room was absolutely amazing. Big tv, comfy bed, nice fridge snd coffee machine. However, this isn’t a place for the off season. I was hoping to mingle at the bar but I was there on a training day and it felt awkard. I brought my bathing suit to use the hot tub, but I was confused if I was allowed to use it. I was told there was going to be a fire, but didn’t see one. This place is t worth the 350 dollars during the off season. But I can see it being a cool spot in the summer.

Travelocity dropped the ball by not timely forwarding an email from the property! (I would recommend calling the hotel 1 day before arriving if you don’t receive the email.) Fortunately the manager was only 1 minute away. My stay was during the off-season, so many of the retail establishments were still closed. But the room was lovely! The location was close to everything. The beds were firm and the textiles soft. I would definitely stay here again.
