1. A little rough surf, and a slab of granite rock to maneuver around, but otherwise perfect.

2. Great sand beach and chairs for sunning and reading, but not swimming, rocks just offshore and a pounding surf when we were there.

"Great Value, but not a swimming beach " Read full review on TripAdvisor 4/3/2012 Vote

3. Beach: The beach is not bad, the sand is fairly clean, but there are rocks at the edge of the water, so swimming or water activities are probably not possible, at least not directly in front of the hotel.

8. Outdoor pool/beach area are very lovely (especially at night w/fire tiki torches) -- adjacent water is rocky (fist size loose rocks) and hotel beach is meager, but I did go in the water.
