It's not expensive, I would compare it to a motel from about 40 years ago. Bare bones. But it's right on the beach basically. You just cross the street. But it is run down. I stayed at the Hilton in POS and that was 3 stars at best. This place would be 1 star. Your there only because of the beach only, it is run down.
Q:
Are there any hotels/rooms to rent on or very close to this beach?
