We will take your tips into account.
These are nice rooms, but "faces the ocean" is a bit of a stretch. Only the end of the hotel (i.e., one jr. suite per floor) actually faces the ocean. 1502's bedroom balcony will have a side that also faces directly out toward the ocean and overlooks the pool. The sides of the hotel either angle toward the ocean and the nature preserve (the side you'll be on) or angle toward the mega-resort Taj next door (the other side).
And I agree there's absolutely no need to leave the resort in search of a better beach for kids: I've never seen a calmer, more inviting break or sand for little ones (and I've seen a lot of beaches in my day). That said, you'd do well to leave in search of food
