The street beach was closed for refurbishment when we visited, so we didn't get to use it
Pros:

The hotel was lovely. Clean, great facilities and a lovely cooked breakfast every morning.

Cons:

The glass wall around the bathroom didn't give much privacy to anyone using the shower as you could see through it
