1. The Hotel itself is directly on the beach which is a rarity for its pricepoint, however I wasn't terribly impressed by the beach, you are basically right next to a public park and there are any number of unpowered watercraft in the water in front of the hotel which makes swimming out too deep a bit a pain, the beach I found to be rather crowded even though I was of the impression it was for hotel guests however there is no mechanism for stopping anyone from walking on, so it may very well just be an extension of the public beach.
