We stay at Mary's Boon often and thier very wide beach is one of the things we like the most. I would say its at least as wide as a football field with lots of private room. I think maybe some people might think the hotel beach is just in front of the bar and restaurant but its never as crowded or noisy as Karakter which is about a fourth as wide. They do also have a great new and just redone Beach Bar and Restaurant that just opened about a month ago call "THE BOON" that we found to be really fun and great food and drinks at good prices. About every other Sunday they have a beach party with sometimes live music. Yes their is a crowd there at the bar area but if you are staying at the Hotel the beach in front of the rooms is really one of the longest of any hotel on the Island/ Beachside Villas also has another nice uncrowded beach when their is enough sand.
