Yep. Stayed here in June and there is no immediate access to the beach from the hotel. That said, you can access the beach easily from the vacant lot next to the hotel, just don't expect any easy amenities such as a shower to rinse off your feet from the sand or of course drinks. It didn't even seem the hotel was working at all to fix things or restore things and probably is hoping for a buy out. Still, the stay and room were nice. The balcony over the ocean was awesome, and breakfast in the morning was good. Just don't expect a resort or typical "beach hotel" experience.
