do they have those huts here to sit under? if so,
do you have to reserve them or get out early to get one? if no huts -- how do you avoid getting sunburnt on beach???

Plenty of huts. First come, first served. Sometimes they are gone early. Other huts and palm trees back on grass. Plenty of lounge chairs you can move to where you want. Beach bar seating is covered and there are a few covered areas with tables and chairs on beach for sitting too, next to the bars. Wear sunscreen too!!!!! People come and go from them while doing tours, etc. If clothes are left for over an hour, security removes them or go ask security to move them to lobby and you can move in under the hut. They are not a rat race like at the high rises.

Thanks Tom for the information, much appreciated.

we had to get up at about 8 or a little before... we put our beach towels and our beach bag on the the table around the hut... no one bothered it... now dont put anything valuable on it... just put towels down and pull you some lounge chairs up around it, and you will be fine..
