Hi Cathy,

The rocks in the picture were in front of the 1300 block where we stayed. Not much beach there and many rocks but you could safely access the ocean. Once in the ocean, the rocks were not an issue. On windy days (which occur most of the time), there were some waves and there was some coral and rocks you had to cross over as you entered the water. By the time you were waist deep, you were past this area. Many readers had suggested water shoes in the past which is probably not a bad idea.

I didn't take pictures of the room but it was reasonably sized with two queen beds, a night stand, two chairs, a round table, plenty of closet space and a bathroom with a tub/shower. The floor is tile throughout the room and all rooms have a sliding door on the ocean side of the room leading out to a patio (ground floor) or a balcony (2nd floor). The balconies have two sitting chairs and a table and the patios have two lounge chairs and a table.

Some good suggestions from other members of the forum which we used were bringing clothespins to clip clothes and towels to the beach chairs to dry in the wind; bringing a large cup or thermos that the bartender can fill instead of having to return often to the bar; bringing bug spray for the evenings as the bugs seem to be worse than usual; and bringing a lot of sunscreen. We brought three huge bottles and still ran out and had to pay a lot for more.

Have a great trip.

Dave
