The value, the location, the experience was wonderful.
Pros:

We couldn't get closer to the beach if we tried. It was a lovely experience. The staff was lovely and very friendly. I would definitely do it again.

Cons:

City traffic sounds but hey, it's a busy place beachfront, it's expected. Nothing bad to say about the place.

Ubicación ideal
Pros:

Se encuentra bien ubicado ya que puedes hacer varias cosas caminando, estas realmente a una calle de la playa, y si avisas con tiempo tienes lugar de estacionamiento.

Cons:

Al estar en la avenida principal puede haber un poco de ruido, pero nada que no te permita descasar.
